Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist

Advantages: Refreshing and cheaper than a primer.
Disadvantages: None really.

...I bought this product because I was initially looking for a primer to go under my make up to keep my my make up in place all day. When I was at university I was on a Performing Arts course with a lot of practical classes and there was also a lot of time spent in hot and stuffy lecture theatres and classrooms. I found that by the afternoon all my make up had come off except my mascara and I thought it looked scruffy. So I went out to find a primer to keep my make up in place. The only ones I could really find were quite expensive so I went and asked in The Body Shop to ask if they did a primer and the lady said she didn't think so. Later that evening I was double checking on The Body Shop website when I came across this product and I noticed it said 'excellent for fixing make up'. So the next day I went out and bought some. I also noticed...

Review of The Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist

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.

...my eyebrows so that they looked their best and then set about applying the powder. It was remarkably easy and the little retractable brush is perfectly designed for applying the powder. The result was brilliant, the colour far more subtle than I have ever been able to achieve with a pencil (and I've had plenty of practice!). Even the coverage was better. This is a perfect product for those of us who over-pluck from time to time - which lets face it is all of us. The gaps were filled in but the result looked natural and not at all drag-queenish which can often happen with eyebrow pencils. As far as I'm aware you can buy this in all Body Shop outlets for £11 or ?16 (not quite the standard conversion rate so if you're buying a few bits and pieces in the Body Shop order them online and it works out cheaper for those of us living in...

Review of The Body Shop Eyebrow Make-up

all in one make up base, body shop

Advantages: see text
Disadvantages: see text

...looking through the reviews, it seems that I am the only one who's about to write a bad review and make the product's rating decrease slightly. Maybe I just have odd skin lol. My skin is considered combination, I do get spots and I do get dry skin if I dont look after it properly. My current make up - rimmel all day natural make up was on its last legs so I decided to try a different route - the body shop all in one make up base. Now the delivery arrived very promptly which is always a plus with body shop, theyre very good in that respect, the product on the other hand is a different story. The product cost me £11.70 and in my mind is the most insane amount to spend on foundation! But I had just been paid and thought I would treat myself to a few items to see if it could make a difference to m skin. At first...

The Body Shop Vitamin C Ceansing Face Polish

Advantages: gentle and gret for all skin types
Disadvantages: cant think of any

...The polish removes make-up and impurities and smells fabulous, and fresh which gives you an instant lift. How to use: Use around a 5 pence piece size and massage on to damp skin in small circular movements, then rinse off with warm water. If the product does get in to your eyes rinse them with warm clean water. Packaging The product is available in a 100ml bottle and costs just £8.00 a fraction of the price of all those expensive well named brands out there. The bottle is recyclable and last ages because you only need to use a small amount each time you use it. It supports all the Body Shops values and in particular it is not tested on animals. Overall a great product expecially with winter fast approaching...

Review of The Body Shop Vitamin C Cleansing Face Polish

Body Shop vitamin c face polish-USE SPARINGLY!!

Advantages: Smells great, exfoliates well, tube will last ages
Disadvantages: Not great for sensitive skin

...I bought this exfoliator as I was going away to work in the Alps for a ski season where it would be mius degrees, harsh winds and my skin would take a battering! I needed a good face scrub to get rid of dead skin so my moisturiser was working at its best. Ive used body shop products for years and find their vitamin c face mask excellent, so decided to try this. Fisrt time i used it I loved the thick texture of lots of small particles and the fab zesty scent! It also left my skin quite soft and my moisturiser went in really well afterwards. I have sensitive skin and got no rash or reaction! However, the second time I used it I used more of the product and found that it felt like it was scratching my skin and my cheeks were quite pink afterwards and felt dryer than before I started. I think the concentration of exfoliating...

Disadvantages: Very expensive products.

Stuck for wedding make-up - try the Body Shop

Advantages: A fantastic service, well worth the money
Disadvantages: can't think of any

...Help, I am getting married and not confident of doing my own make-up on the big day. Well, that was my exact worry. What would be worse than turning to my husband to be at the moment I was to say "I Do", knowing I've made such a mess of the make-up and this will be seen on the wedding photo's & video, forever and ever. My solution, (after a tip from my hairdresser) was to try the Body Shop wedding make-up service. I ventured in - feeling quite nervous at the thought of some-one applying make-up to me- what if they applied the most awful colours? Well, the staff could not have been more friendly, it seemed there were quite used to slightly panicky brides to be (I had left my enquiry rather late - just 2 weeks before the wedding - what if they couldn't fit me in?) The staff explained the process and cost in a friendly but...

The Body Shop - lovely ethical products

Advantages: Extensive range of ethical products
Disadvantages: Quite pricey

....thebodyshop.co.uk) this seems to be one of their bestselling brands. As well as bath and body products, The Body Shop also does an extensive range of skincare products that use natural ingredients that are good for the skin such as tea tree oil. These are separated into ranges to suit different skin types but which are still based on a main ingredient such as a range of products using jojoba for dry skin. In these ranges you will find the usual types of products you would expect from a skincare range like cleansers, toners and moisturisers. The Body Shop also has its own makeup and fragrance ranges. MY FAVOURITES: I have combination skin which is prone to blemishes so if you have this type of skin, my favourites might also work for you. * Tea Tree Oil Foaming Facial Wash £5.85 for 150ml pump bottle: I really like the tea tree oil products but I...

The best face brush ever

Advantages: great quality
Disadvantages: price

...****Elizabeth Arden Mineral Makeup Face Brush **** I have been looking for a good foundation brush for quite awhile so when i was browsing the Elizabeth Arden counter at my local Debenhams i took the counter persons recommendation and purchased this brush. **Elizabeth Arden** They sell quite high quality cosmetics and other toiletry products. You can purchase their products from beauty stands in department stores such as Boots etc or online at their website of the same name. **The brush** This is a angled brush that is made from synthetic hair and is so soft. I think it looks quite smart as it is black and gold coloured(the colours of the brand)The brush feels quite thick. It says on the website that this is suitable for all powders and i think it works really well with the foundation is is supposed to go with. Another thing i liked...

Review of Elizabeth Arden Mineral Makeup Face Brush

Eye "do not like this" make up remover

Advantages: Really does its job
Disadvantages: Irrititable

..."A liquid eye make-up remover, to cleanse and remove make-up and condition lashes". I agree with this description of the Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover from The Body Shop because it does indeed remove eye make-up and it feels like it is cleansing and conditioning my lashes. However, I feel like they have missed another detail from their description: it can sting the eyes too. Personally I have found using this eye make-up remover difficult and unpleasant sometimes. I have a sensitive eye area and unfortunately my eyes begin to sting each time I use this product. It is not oily or perfurmed so it is strange why it sometimes stings, however there may be another ingrediant that is causing irritation that I am not aware of. I have not had a problem with other eye make-up remover products, and cannot understand why this...
