Bodyshop - anything you particularly like ?

[didireallysaythat]

For reasons I won't bore you with, I need to buy something from bodyshop. Trouble is the last time I bought something from there I was 16 and I think it was apple bubble bath (showing my age now). I'm now 41 and less attracted to brightly coloured, smelly bubble bath.

So can anyone recommend a "can't do without" or "bodyshop does the best" item ?

Badtaste - revealing yourself as an old gimmer - I think they stopped the perfume bar about 20 years ago.

I like Body Shop Hand Creams - they do a lush rose-smelling one. Also the Coconut Body Butter.

Came on to say makeup brushes-they aren't cheap but I suppose you must have a voucher?

I used to love the bodyshop, but it's been crap for years now-such a shame.

Dewberry bath pearls. For nostalgia purposes only.

Cointreau No!

Wow ! Looks like Saturday night is Bodyshop fan night.

Keep it coming - I'm not overly crazy about smelling of cocoa butter or a fruit salad but I'll take advice if you think I'm being narrow minded.

Alas, no voucher but a need to choose something from a brochure to repay a debt..

i second the bronzer. bth the square one with waves of different colours and the round shimmery one. its the only shimmery one my oily skin can take but it really looks fab and lasts all day. it lasts forever too!

hemp foot cream, but i use it for hands

Ginger shampoo (fab stuff if you have a "problem scalp" as the ads might read); Aloe Vera body butter (lovely simple cream for dry skin on kids); Aloe Vera skin care range for my face; Olive or shea body butter (not too heavily scented); Vitamin E hand cream; vitamin E lip salve.

As you can tell I use quite a few products from Body Shop. I generally use products that don't have a very strong scent - fruit scented bubble bath is not my thing either. Hope that you find something that suits.

Seaweed facial wash. I used to use johnsons ph 5.5 and when it was discontinued I was lost in a world of dry skin until I found this. I second (third?) the Ginger shampoo and love the body butters too. Can't stand the shop though - find the sales tactics a bit heavy-handed so go as infrequently as possible.

as posted by others the body butters are amazing and you have inspired me to go and buy some white musk..lol x

I was going to suggest the hemp hand cream but beaten to it!

I was in a public loo yesterday and someone must have been wearing/spraying 'dewberry' - I was instantly transported back 20 years .

I also love Hemp hand cream. Smells foul but is amazing on my awful dry and cracked hands

Another vote for the Hemp hand cream. It is very good indeed.

I use their aloe vera sensitive cleanser and moisturizer. I've got rosacea and had been using Green People products but these are cheaper and my skin seems calmer.

Dewberry ! Oh man, what a blast from the past....

I like the olive shampoo, satsuma shower gel, all the glycerine soaps and their eye makeup remover is unbeatable. If they still do it, teatree and lemon grass shower gel is the nuts if you have an itchy flange.

TMI, bibbity, TMI.....

Hemp handcream smells minging; give me fruity beauty any day.

I love the smell of the Hemp hand cream. All that fruity gubbins makes me feel a bit poorly. :)

I love all the Vitamin E range, especially the tinted moisturiser. However I think it's a bit overpriced.

I drifted away from them over the last few years but have been drawn back by the Earth Lovers shower gels, divine fragrances and very gentle. I also love the Rainforest shampoo and conditioner, the rose hand cream and the whole almond hand range. Not keen on the hemp hand cream though, but I am clearly in a minority with that one.

The Neroli and Jasmine bubble bath, shower gel, moisturiser, and body spray. Rich, heady, and exotic, definitely not fruity! The Moroccan Rose range is nice too.

The lipstick scrub thing. Looks like a green lipstick but gets rid of all the dry skin on your lips.

Don't bother with the reed diffuser perfume thingies.

I bought one at Christmas, and had to virtually stick a reed up my nostril to get any kind of aroma out of it. Most disappointing.

(Needed a diffuser to get rid of the whiff of hemp hand cream )

Vitamin E intensive face cream is amazing. Use it day and night, still in disbelief that I ever paid three times as much for more expensive brands that weren't in any way better.

Their lip butter is fab, very rich & sinks into my chapped lips but is quite scented which doesn't appeal to everyone.

Love their fruity soaps as does dd .

Body brush is great.

Heard fab things about hemp hand cream, my friends rave about it.
