Everybody's body

Advantages: They are on every high street and excellent quality
Disadvantages: Can be a bit expensive

...I was given a Body shop Aromatherapy gift set from my husband for Christmas several years ago. The kit comprised of a bottle of bath oil, body lotion, an Aromaball, a scented candle and a relaxing body massage implement all in a container. The fragrance was called Sensual and contains Patchouli and ylang ylang I liked it so much, that when the first item to run out was the little aromaball I went and checked out my nearest body shop and they sell all these aromatherapy items from my kit individually as well as in kits. The aromaball is particularly good as they are small enough to fit into the smallest evening bag, and smells like heaven. (The Aromaball is a small lipstick size bottle with a ball (like a roll on deodorant) filled with your favourite fragrance). The aroma balls are £6.00 but they last for ages and so handy for those...

Review of The Body Shop Aromatherapy Kit

Fat Kit Kat

Advantages: Taste, quality, Size, Filling
Disadvantages: ...none

...Having just eaten a Kit Kat Chunky Caramel it seems I'm eating these in the wrong order, but the Kit Kat chunky is another of the now rather extended Kit Kat brand chocolate bars by Nestle. The idea of a ?chunky? Kit Kat is that it's thicker than a normal one with much more wafer in the centre making up the vast part of it's bulk. The bar looks more like a Yorkie than a typical 2 (or 4) finger Kit Kat in general shape though it keeps the red of the Kit Kat we all know and love, the Kit Kat logo and the Kit Kat biscuit formula. Nutritional Information (per 50g bar) 261 Calories 3.1g Protein 31.6g Carbohydrates 13.4g Fat Sorry for putting that so early into the review but with Kit Kats (and Nestle in general) not having the treat wise guide on them, it's actually a struggle to read the nutrition details due to the fact I...

Bodies!

Advantages: Great information book for young children
Disadvantages: None

...This is a great non-fiction children's book which I have used with Reception aged children (4-5 year olds). ~ Style and Format ~ The book is a board book, thicker than usual pages that are great for little hands and for those of us buying the books as it is far more difficult for any little rips or tears in the pages to take place! The book is full of great coloured photographs of children, with clear labels as to the different parts of the human body. It also contains questions for the reader to ponder and answer. It has double page spreads and is full of information aimed at young children. ~ Content ~ The book begins with a double page spread, front photo and back photo of a young boy. The face, back, elbow, thigh, knee, leg etc are all clearly labelled. The next focus is on the 'skin and bones'. It introduces...

Body Shop Brow & Liner Kit for perfect eyebrows.

Advantages: Two powder shades tailored to your hair colour for a natural look
Disadvantages: A little pricey but it does last for ages.

...The Body Shop Brow and Liner Kit is a must have for perfect eyebrows. Having used eyebrow pencils for years and being relatively happy with the results I never really considered there might be a better alternative. Recently while browsing in the Body Shop looking for a powder eye liner a silver compact caught my eye and being a beauty gadget addict, I went in for a closer look. The compact is silver and black and contains two shades of powder tailored to your hair colour and a handy little retractable brush. I chose the compact for Blonde/ Auburn and decided to give it a try instead of persisting with my ever shrinkng stub of an eyebrow pencil. (The other shades are tailored to Auburn/ Brunette and Brunette/ Black- it's easy to pick the one that suits you best) In order to give the product the best possible review I shaped and plucked...

Bamboo Body

Advantages: long-lasting moisturiser with an agreeable smell
Disadvantages: doesn't produce giggles

...I needed new body lotion and decided to try a new brand. My eyes were wandering along the shelves at the chemist?s and came to a halt at the NIVEA section. This was due to the shape of the bottle the NIVEA designer(s) had created: the upper part of the right side is slightly curved in (see piccie at the top of the site). The bottle looks elegant and cries out to the consumer, ?Grab me!?, at least to the right handers among them. I looked closer to find the right skin type and discovered ?normal to dry skin?, just what I need. Under the name of the product NIVEA Body Lotion Happy Time half a slice of orange is depicted lying in some white sloshy stuff - obviously the body lotion - and underneath stand the words ?Feel-Good Sensation? and Bamboo Extracts. Bamboo! This must be one versatile plant. We?ve got a bush in our garden, I...

THe Sanctuary Body Butter

Advantages: Rich and creamy, quality product
Disadvantages: Smell not for everyone

...The Sanctuary Body Butter. The Sanctuary began as a Spa in Covent Garden over 30 years ago. Their philosophy is all about providing the time, space and expertise for women to renew that glow. I've never been to the Spa but friends have been and they do say that it is a wonderful experience and definitely a very upmarket product. The Sanctuary beauty products were produced in 1998. Customers had been wanting to take the spa experience home with them without needing a therapist or special equipment so they came up with the idea of selling their products. Apparently they are only sold exclusively at Boots and of course you can buy them in the spa's themselves. I've always liked the look of the products as I think they have quite an expensive, quality look about them. I have used the foaming bath soak for quite a while but this is...

Review of The Sanctuary Body Butter

Beautiful Body

Advantages: Great scent, moisturising
Disadvantages: Pricey, does not absorb easily

...I actually received thhis product as a present in part of a gift set, with a bottle of the perfume and a shimmer stick pulse point perfume. I really love the fragrance of the perfume, quite floral and woody (lotus blossom, liquid amber, black orchid and mahogany wood) and very distinctive. I was interested to see how this translated into a body lotion. The bottle itself if made of pretty thick plastic (it's quite hard to squeze the product out) and opens to a capped end with a small hole in - much like sun lotions. The cream is pretty thick and smells quite strongly of the euphoria scent. On application, the product goes quite a long way and not a lot is needed. However, I found that it did not absorb very easily into the skin and needed quite a bit of rubbing in. Once it had been absorbed, my skin felt soft and smelt great...

have a break with kit kat Senses

Advantages: Great taste and consistency, Less sickly, Slightly lower price
Disadvantages: High in fat and Sugar

...kit kat Senses introduction Manufactured by Swiss owned Chocolate Maker nestle. This Chocolate Bar was recently introduced to the market, with the official launch made by girl band "Girls Aloud". So the main market group for this product is young women. Having tried this Chocolate Bar out, I tend to agree slightly in this product's positioning in the Chocolate market. The reasons became clear shortly in this review. The name of the brand 'Senses', appears to be a straightforward brand name, mentioning that no geniuses were necessary to conjure up that name. Obviously the marketing department at nestle, most likely during a brainstorming exercise wanted a product that appeals to the chocolate user's senses. Another thing to note, is that the production of kit kat Senses has been moved from York, to Bulgaria. kit kat...

Lovely Body Butter!

Advantages: Smells lovely, responsibly produced, works well
Disadvantages: A bit expensive at full price

...A few years ago a friend of mine bought me a gift set from The Body Shop for Christmas and amongst the items contained therein was a pot of body butter. I really wasn?t expecting to like it at all; from the term ?body butter? I expected it to be really greasy and oily. I was quite wrong and have been hooked ever since! The one I am currently using is the Satsuma Body Butter which normally retails at £12.20 for a pot containing 200ml although there is an offer on at the moment reducing the price by 20% so it is only £9.76. If you do like Body Shop products it is worth keeping your eyes open during the year as they often have special offers so it is worth stocking up when things are cheaper. If you are a regular customer it is also worth investing in their reward card. It costs £5 per year but you get a free gift worth £5 on your...

Kit Kat craze

Advantages: Sweet Nestle chocolate, really thick, crisp wafer, gorgeous
Disadvantages: Only a white choc and peanut butter variation of the chunky

...I have found a new love is Nestle chocolate- in particular, the Kitkat chunky. Sorry Mars Bar, but now that you've changed the texture of your nougat, you're no longer my top. Now, I've never really liked wafer chocolate bars like Time outs or Drifters and indeed, the standard Kitkats as I always found them a little bland and boring, prefering the creamy sweet caramel filled chocolate bars. I remember trying one of these once with my brother when we were on a plane (going on hols) and we didn't like them much and felt sick after a couple of bites. However, seeing them on offer once at 5 for £1 I had to give them another go and I've never regretted spending that £1, and the many that have followed. Kitkat chunky is different to a normal Kit Kat (yeah Yeah, I know, it's chunkier!). Kit kat, to brief over, is made by Nestle...
