I like their shampoos and conditioners and the morings bubble bath. Makeup brushes are good too especially the mini set which fits in your makeup bag

Lardylassnomore · 12/04/2015 13:49

Moringa

I've just bought the Fuji green tea bath tea and the diffuser for the bath it's lively as is the exfoliating soap and eau de cologne of the same range.

I also love their beautifying body oil, shampoo and conditioners and some of their new scents of the world range are lovely, Japanese cherry blossom is lovely

I like the Divide & Multiply mascara and the Vitamin E skincare stuff, especially the intense moisturiser.

KatieScarlettreregged · 12/04/2015 13:56

I like the coconut range. Esp the shower gel and body spray. The coconut oil hair shine is good too.

VeganCow · 12/04/2015 13:58

The banana shampoo and conditioner, the mocrodermabrasion scrub and the clay mask in a tub... the £30 should about cover it :)

Vitamin e skincare range
Hemp foot cream and hand cream
Vitamin e serum in oil

There are frequent offers and discount codes knocking about, so if possible, I'd wait until you find as it will make your money go really far.

Moringa Body Butter. So good you don't even need perfume.

Last year I bought the Vit E Aqua Sorbet, it's very light, smells gorgeous but if you over-apply it can feel a bit textured, like fine semolina or starch grains.

I like the Honey&Oat scrub, it's softer than it used to be (I remember The Body Shop in the 80s - old gimmer) Grin

The brushes are really good, I have some that are 20+ years old.

I need a look in there, I'm after the "Drops of Youth" and the Black Lipstick but I want to see them IRL.

And I love the fact the mascaras are sealed, nothing worse than buying a mascara and finding someone has tested it.

daimbardiva · 12/04/2015 18:56

Vitamin e skincare and vitamin c skin care, hemp foot protector

CeeceeBloomingdale · 12/04/2015 19:47

Rainforest shampoo, bluecorn face mask, shower gels

Fifis25StottieCakes · 12/04/2015 19:51

white musk perfume, oil if they still do it, i got the kids a gift set at xmas and everything in it smelt lush, body butter and shower gel etc

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 12/04/2015 19:53

Lipscuff lip conditioner
Tea tree oil gel dabber for spots
The coconut spray fragrance (alongside the body butters)
Some of the make-up is nice

i wasted my money of the big tub of Drops of Youth, not only is it a horrible tacky texture, it makes my skin all itchy. And it keeps popping up as an advert on the side of mn.

confusedandemployed · 12/04/2015 19:55

Thirding Moringa. Had some from Mil for Christmas and it smells just bloody gorgeous.

DrankSangriaInThePark · 12/04/2015 20:09

I am 49 and love the Vit E intense range.
Caroline Hirons raves about the chamomile cleansing butter and I'm going to try that soon.
And the cocoa body butter is the best body butter ever.

TheReluctantCountess · 12/04/2015 20:10

Their shower gel is nice and lasts for ages.

Nabootique · 13/04/2015 08:36

I like the satsuma body butter and coconut or shea butter shower creams for the body and a few bits for the face. The camomile cleansing butter, vitamin e serum in oil and aqua sorbet (agree with PP about graininess though. Full of silicone so for gawd's sake don't put anything on top of it, BUT it does make a lovely base for makeup and is very hydrating), vitamin C radiance capsules and seaweed cleanser.

dontknowwhat2callmyself · 13/04/2015 09:27

The face mask that turns warm when you put it on. Can't remember the exact name it costs about £10.00 and skin feels lovely afterwards!

Elledouble · 13/04/2015 09:31

I like the cocoa butter stuff - moisturising oil and stuff. My mother really likes the moringa products and the make-up - they'll recommend you stuff and apply them if you want them to (mum does this every so often) if you were interested in make up.
