** A Positive Step Towards Slightly Smoother Feet **

Advantages: Smooths already well maintained feet, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Fairly expensive, does not get rid of hard skin.

...shame! Because of all this I feel it is beneficial to buy a lot of my beauty products from The Body Shop, but another reason I do is because their stuff is splendid! ** File A Foot ** The File a foot is really self explanatory. It is a foot file which is made to smooth down the feet?s hard and rough skin. It is two sided. It has a course side which is aimed at the rough areas and the other slightly smoother side is used as an exfoliater. It advises you to use it dry and on dry skin. Priced at £4.40 it is slightly on the expensive side for a basic foot file but what makes this no ordinary foot file is the material it is made from and I like using things that are a little bit special. This foot file is made from community trade birch wood from Russia. This means that the Body Shop has provided stable employment in an area of few...

Review of The Body Shop File A Foot

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...

Smoother skin?

Advantages: Skin feels softer and smoother after use
Disadvantages: Doesn't live up to its promise of immediate results

...I recently bought this product to improve my skin, after being hidden away all winter, as I am getting married in March. I have heard of micro-dermabrasion before, but didn't really know very much about it, although I know it is expensive to have done at salons. At £10 for 150ml, I thought it was worth a try. Micro-dermabrasion in salons involves removing the outmost layer of skin, either partially or completely, using zinc or aluminum oxide crystals. It can remove sun-damaged skin and lessen scars (particularly raised scars). There is little evidence that it increases collagen production. Boots No.7 product promises to make skin brighter, younger and more even, there are products available for use on the face, but this product is designed only to be used on the body. Based on a tried-and-tested dermatological technique, Total...

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...

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...

Review of The Body Shop Satsuma Body Butter

want smoother skin

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: expensive

...***** Boots No.7 Total Renewal Micro-dermabrasion Body Exfoliator***** Firstly i'm not sure if i got this with the current boots offer that is on or a previous one but the one i have is only 40ml and not 100ml as it states above. **Packaging** The bottle itself is a very plain colour with number seven written in gold and the product name in black. **Promises** This product promises that you will get smoother,more radiant skin in an instance. It also claims to be hypo allergic.My skin has been feeling a lot smoother lately and this is the product i use the most so..It has been fine on my skin and i have psoriasis which can get irritated if i use the wrong product. **directions for use** This is supposed to be used in the shower 2 or 3 times a week-i think that's a good thing because this product isn't the cheapest one...

  The Body Shop - Too Bad You Can't Buy Replacement Body Here!

Advantages: Excellent products, great smell and environmentally friendly.
Disadvantages: Very expensive products.

... Have you heard of ?The Body Shop?? It is one of the most visited beauty shops by women and MEN equally . . . The reputation and the popularity of the shop is not only throughout the UK but also spread globally. There is no surprise that it had over 2400 shops worldwide diverse between small shops and mega stores expanded over sixty one different countries in most Europe, the Middle East, South Africa and the United States of America! Many years ago, while I was struggling to look for a decent job to survive in the United Kingdom, I worked at one of their smaller shops for over a year. As a result, I?ve learnt a lot about customers? preferences, how to communicate and satisfy clients and most importantly, I?ve gained knowledge about beauty which was an advantage to me in future jobs. What is The Body Shop? Oh...

Review of The Body Shop (Shop)

Smoother yourself in thick strawberries.

Advantages: easily abosrbed adding instant moisture.
Disadvantages: the scent can ware off quickly.

...As many of you may know, I am an avid fan of the body shop so many of my reviews are based on The Body shop and their products. So sorry to disappoint you but this is yet another body shop review. I recently reviewed the body shops Satsuma body butter and I was less than impressed with it, so today I had a wonder around my local body shop to replace the Satsuma butter as I will never use again. I have now purchased the body shops strawberry butter. I explained to the sales assistant that I hated the Satsuma body butter and she recommend this strawberry butter, as it was still fruity and sweet smelling but not as overpowering as the Satsuma. STRAWBERRY BUTTER This body butter itself is designed for normal skin types, it is an intensive moisturiser that can be used on the face, hands and body. This is a thick pinkish cream that...
