What's Worth Getting from The Body Shop?

That 40% discount is very tempting!

What are your fave products? I'm using the Fig & Rosemary shower gel.

I love their body butters. Esp the coconut one that has a very subtle shimmer to it. It is really moisturising and last me ages. Ive got the shea butter one but I dont like the smell as much as the coconut. It reminds me a bit of Pledge furniture polish!!!

Raspberry shower & bath gel. Or the mandarin one. Or the mango one (Santa went a bit bonkers in the Body Shop so we have six different bottles on the go Grin)

Ooh, and the almond hand cream is excellent.

I quite like the handcreams, the thick one smells gross (not sure of the name but it's aimed at gardeners) it really, really works but I have to put up with the smell! There is a new one, rose, but it isn't as thick sadly.

I like the little packs in purses, good for travelling and great for gifts. All of the gift boxes are good actually, I may grab some for Christmas presents! I'm trying one of the primers today, I have samples of the three they do and I'll probably order the one I like best.

fridgepants can I ask- does the brush you use for mineral foundation make a difference to the end result? I got a cheapy one on ebay and the result is, well, not much cover. Not sure if it's my technique or one of those things having the right tools will fix!

Mango body butter and body scrub. Super moisturising.

ENormaSnob · 21/03/2012 20:23

I have some eyebrow make up from the body shop and it's easily as good as benefits brow-zing.

Love their shimmer bronzing block and use the blueberry (or it could be bilberry) hair detangling spray on DD long hair, it smells divine. Always use the body butter and shower cream in coconut

Hemp handcream, smells minging but is the only thing that works on dps scaly hands.

I use the Body Shop kabuki brush with my BE and it's about 1324% better than the BE one. Really soft dense bristles.

The almond hand cream is great - smells gorgeous and such a nice texture. The rose one is quite good too but doesn't feel the same. Haven't tried the hemp.

I also like the tea tree face mask and the brazil nut defrizzing hair cream. Body butters, scrubs, shower gels etc always nice too.

Cheddars · 22/03/2012 00:28

I've not been wildly impressed with their shampoo and conditioners.

I like the strawberry body cream though.

heliumballoon · 22/03/2012 03:17

The fruity shower foam is good. Four for a tenner. Strawberry, mango, satsuma, grapefruit.
I also like their cheek/ lip tint, which easily matches the more expensive benetint.

wildfig · 22/03/2012 08:03

And I think the clay facemask that heats up on its own did well in the Beauty Bible testing...

CarpeJugulum · 22/03/2012 08:05

Almond cuticle oil (love the handy pen it comes in) and the almond hand moisturiser, and the almond hand rescue.

Can you tell that I may quite like the almond stuff?! Grin

valiumredhead · 22/03/2012 09:45

The make up brushes are lovely and good quality. I also love the Morrocan Rose body cream and spray.

gastrognome · 22/03/2012 12:44

Body butters (all of them) and any of their eye make up, which is expensive but extremely good quality and lasts for ages.
