Advantages: cruelty free, nice smellies Disadvantages: Lost of lot of the old products
...when they used to be the only high street store to sell cruelty-free and natural products (yes I do know all about the scandals!) I also have sensitive skin and their products dont irritate it. I used to drift in there upon a Saturday and revel in the glorious smells of roses, vanilla, peach, dewberry, etc. This was in the days when they sold fragrance free products and you could add your own perfumes to them. They also sold a vast range of dewberry ... ...do offers like 3 for the price of 2. Being cheaper than the Body Shop I started to go in there. Then for a whild Boots withdrew their vanilla range, so I trotted back off to the Body Shop. Lordy was I disappointed! It was entirely different things, gone was the vanilla and dewberry, the bottles of perfume etc, now it was all white musk and all manner of stuff with names like Anyna, the Body Shop had gone upmarket! Even the Banana Hair Putty wasnt ...

Advantages: Good selection of products Disadvantages: Is only AGAINST animal testing...
Firstly, can I explain the 'Disadvantages' bit....Body Shop used to say that they never tested their products on animals, but a few years ago they had to change this claim. There are some products (not just Body Shops') that HAVE to be tested on animals. Even drugs that save human lives have to be tested somewhere, but no-one wants to risk harming humans.
Don't get me wrong, I don't condone testing on animals. I AM against animal testing. I DO NOT ... ...'Against Animal Testing'! Look on the back of all the packaging.
Anyway, having said all that, I am a great fan of Body Shop products. I have been using them for as long as I can remember. Even when I lived in Germany, on each visit back to the UK my first stop would be the Body Shop to stock up on all the products I used. I would easily spend upwards of £60 each visit!
My favourite products are......
1. Coconut Oil Hair Shine. I have been using ...

This review is talking about the love your body card that the body shop have. This is not like a typical store card, it costs £5 and from then on, for a year whatever you buy at the body shp you will get 10% off. Even on exsisting offers such as sale items. Not only that but in the month of ur birthday u get a free birthday gift (value up to £5) so u will get ur money back on the card. Also evreytime u spend £10 or more you get your card stamped. ... ...a free gift up to the value of £5, which is the 4th stamp, and then when u have had ur card stamped 7 times you get a free gift of up to £10. But you can use these gifts as part payment towards more expensive items. Then u will get a new card to fill in if u finish the stamps before the years membership runs out.
I would reccomend this card to anyone who thinks they will want to spend £5 a year at the bodyshop, as although the price of teh card ...

Advantages: Price, packaging, smell Disadvantages: Price again - more than £10 for a body scrub is a bit too much!
...long been a customer of the Body Shop, ever since I was about 7 or 8! Although not the cheapest products in the world, the Body Shop ranges are good value for money, and cater for practically all skin and hair types.
I guess that I am a bit of an environmentalist, so the fact that the Body Shop's products are not tested on animals is a complete bonus.
Still being a teenager, unfortunately I have still got teenage type skin. Thankfully, the Cucumber ... ...the Tea Tree face mask has reduced my spots down by loads! Since having highlights done in my dull brown hair, my hair has gone quite dry, and the Banana Hair Mask for normal to dry hair has dramatically improved its shine.
Finally, I ought to say how much I love the Vitamin E Face Mist! I bought it in January last year, and it's still going strong. It is incredibly refreshing when used in the summer - I keep it in our fridge to keep it as fresh ...

Advantages: Not tested on animals Disadvantages: Not organic; hypoallergenic difficult to find;
Although none of the Body Shop products are tested on animals, and I approve of their fair trade programs, I tend to have trouble with them. For one thing, most of their products contain artificial perfume, so as soon as I walk into the store I get a headache. This is bad. Secondly, they don't show a committment to organic agricultural practice - something I feel very strongly about! In addition, a lot of their products really are simply conventional ... ...an addition, rather than forming the bulk of the formula. So, sadly to say, I am usually disappointed when I go into The Body Shop or buy anything from it. Also, even though fair trade is important, the amount of fuel used in shipping things from foreign countries is rather significant. I would be happier to see them using local ingredients, cutting out all of the perfume, and leaving out preservatives where possible. ...

...tube of Lightening Touch from the Body Shop. I know there have been rave reviews of the YSL product which does more or less the same thing as Lightening Touch but is about 4 times as much but this is truly a case where quality is not reflected by price.
This is a wonder product, whether you suffer from black shadows under the eye all the time or just need a quick touch up after a heavy night. It comes in a small tube (5ml I think) with an applicator ... ...suitable for fair skins and the other a darker colour for dark skins. The product itself is very light and really moisturising so it won't dry your skin out. All you need is a small amount to hide dark circles and help disguise fine lines. I've also found that a small amount applied to spots etc can do a pretty good job of hiding them. It is not strictly a concealer it reflects the light and that's how it helps reduce imperfections.
Don't just take ...

...shop.
First of all the important thing is that the shop is totally against animal testing. This is good as I wouldn't buy things that made an animal suffer, as that is very cruel.
The Body Shop sells a lot of different bath, body, make-up and perfume products. Some of the products might seem expensive, but a lot are worth the extra money. Here are a few of my favourites
White Musk perfume - £6 for 30ml - a nice light smell that is amazing
Peppermint ... ...£1.50 or something. This cools the feet well and has a good smell.
Satsuma Bubble Bath - £3 for 250ml - very bubbly so you only need a small amount to get a whole bath full. Another great smell
Shine Free Foundation (01) - £6 for 30ml - this does the job. I have greasy skin and it lasts for ages.
The body shop should appeal to most people and you should find a product that is good for you. ...

It has a little applicator to put the concealer on but I found it worked better by putting a little bit on the fingers then rubbing it in, it worked the same as YSL by making your eyes look lighter, people probably do not think it would be better as we have this thing that expenxive is more ... ...2 shades beige and a lighter colour, so if you are dark skinned it caters for that unlike a lot of brands.

Advantages: Nice smelling goodies that one can actually use Disadvantages: One could spend a whole day in there without realizing it!
I love to go into The Body Shop. Everything is always so neatly packed. They are always packing the stuff according to color or use.
These days they have more than the odd little scented soap. They are selling body butter, skincare products, make-up, manicure & pedicure equipment, bath products.
It is always lovely to go to them when looking for a nice gift for somebody. You can pick the items you want and they would make it up in a beautifull ... ...was crazy about it).
The Body Shop sells products in different sizes. The bulk sizes are nice because it is cheaper than the small ones.
The Body Shop always have nice specials on. The other day I have bought lipbalm so cheap.
These days they also stock all kinds of aromatherapy items like candle burnings, oils and incense.
But flavor is the key word. My favorite smell at the moment is the mango flavor body butter. After using it I normally smells ...

The £40 I spent in there on quite a lot of products was totally worth it, simply cause they WORKED!
They don't test on animals, which is such a huge bonus cause we all know that animal testing is cruel. Thankfully The Body Shop know that too. It makes you feel guilty when you buy a product which has been tested on animals and with The Body ... ...I couldn't live without from The Body Shop are:

...2 hours to kill at the airport I did my usual trick and headed straight for the Body Shop. Flying is such a disagreeable business that I always head for the nearest Body Shop to make myself feel better.
As usual they had a sale on and I picked up a bottle of Honey Water for the ridiculous price of 60p.
At this point I hadn't even opened it to smell it but thought the idea of refreshing and moisturising my face at the same time would be a good experience ... ...the Ladies, found some cotton wool and was astonished at how good this product really is. It felt wonderfully cool and as a dry skin sufferer I was so impressed with how soft my skin felt that I rushed back to the shop and bought another 4 bottles. At that price who wouldn't?
I still have 3 bottles left, which is just as well as I haven't been able to find it since. Perhaps it is one of those end of lines that they only sell at the airport. I will ...

...could spend all day smelling the bottles. The prices are really good and therefore you can buy your favourite soaps etc without breaking then bank.
I love the smell of the soaps, there just nice.
I mostly buy gifts for friends from the Body Shop, cheap, nice and already packed. The bottle can come in some really nice shapes and sizes, which just makes it a bit more interesting. I do think the stores are a touch small, it can get quite cramped. ... ...you pick something you like. The range of bubble bath is excellent, and thy only cost a couple of pounds. Most of the products from the Body shop are shipped from overseas, but the prices are still fairly cheap.
It’s a store where you can buy all your body stuff, all in one go. A good store to visit. ...
