...to be standing at the Clinique counter in Boots when you get them! I went shopping on Saturday for a present for my friend, and had decidided to buy her some lovely Clinique things as she's just bought a house and is too poor at the moment to treat herself. So there I am, trying in vain to remember the names of the products I know she likes, with the very posh Clinique lady staring open eyed at me like I have my glasses on upside down, as I describe ...
...the same as most other Clinique products - natural and understated and completely chemical free. The cream itself which is very slightly off-white/cream is very thick and does have the consistency of firm butter, but gladly none of the grease! I've been using it on my hands and tummy, and it disapears into my skin remarkably quickly, with not a hint of oiliness and nothing but smooth, hydrated skin left behind. The small amount I received in a tube ... Read review

Advantages: Lovely scent, easy to use, absorbs quickly
Disadvantages: Bigger pots are quite expensive

...to mention I don't get the time to pamper myself very often! But when I received a free 50ml pot of The Body Shop's Coconut Body Butter with my copy of Marie Claire this month, I thought it'd be worth a try as it didn't cost me anything, and to be honest, it smelt gorgeous! The Body Shop are famous for their body and beauty products because they do not test their products on animals. They do many products from make-up, to shower gels to these body ...
...beauty industry, most recently winning The Sunday Times Style 2008 award for Best Body Moisturiser for the second year running, a pretty good accolade for them! So I knew this was going to be a good moisturiser and set about using it. Obviously in this weather, we're all wearing cropped trousers and shorts a lot, and my legs do dry out a bit from the sun, and the shaving creams and razors I use on my legs. I thought therefore that my legs would ... Read review

Advantages: gorgeous smell, easily absorbed and skill feels fantastic
Disadvantages: slightly expensive, smells so good you may be tempted to eat it...

...you have not yet discovered the 'Body Butter' range produced by The Body Shop, I strongly urge you to hop foot it on down there…I do not hold any qualms to say that the range is truly a delight. My first experience of the Body Butter, was a rather delectable coconut flavour…it was absolutely delicious, and was brilliant for my skin which is prone to dry patches, which occasionally border on the painful. On running out, I decided I'd like to try a ...
...that is the Blueberry Body Butter… So what exactly is a Body Butter? I was, at first, a little apprehensive. As much as I adore butter on my toast, I was in no way keen at the prospect of spreading something so greasy all over my body. But do not be put off - it is simply a divine moisturiser. If you're looking for something that really does the job, this is the product for you! Price and Availability: These are clearly only available from The Body ... Read review

Advantages: Works well with driy and scaly skin, nice fragrance
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

The body shop is renown for its wonderful (although sometimes expensive) body care products and in this case, the body sop coconut butter is nothing less than wonderful. When I first used the product I was a bit skeptical upon how this coco butter is different from its cheaper alternatives. However I realised how much more effective it was for my skin (especially my legs) compared to some other brands. Within ONE day of use, my skin was noticably ...
...fragance made it seem so much nicer. Some other brands either made my skin sticky or had that really powerful and over-the-top frangance that made me cringe. I recommencd this product to people that have dry, scaly skin like I used to. This review is based on my preferences and skin-type so this product may not satisfy everyone. ... Read review
