No matter how many cosmetics we all have, we can’t resist a new buy every now and then! Apart from the seasonal products that are absolutely necessary, like a good sun protector cream for our face, now that the sun is shining brighter, we often treat ourselves with something new just to get inspired! Just to feel better! Well, that’s what I did yesterday. Work has been tough lately, and my work schedule hectic. My mood…let’s not talk about it. So, when I rushed into my nearest THE BODY SHOP store in order to buy my favorite facial wipes, I could not resist a Spring buy!
When I entered the store, I came across a smiling girl that was promoting a new line of products named British Rose. Well, I love, love roses and their smell! So, I fell in love with those products. I treated myself with a gift collection, a beautiful box containing a shower gel, a hand cream and a body butter, all with essence of hand-picked roses from Britain (dreamy indeed!). The collection also included a moisture cream from their vitamin E line.
I took a quick glance around, since I was in a hurry to return to work, and I spotted an amazing makeup pallet. Beautiful rose tones and smoky hues, a pallet with 6 shades of eye shadow and 2 shades of cheek blush. Yep, I could not resist that either! This amazing pallet belonged also to the new British Rose line (yet another excuse for me to buy it). I added also a lip & cheek stain – a great product enriched with community trade honey and community trade aloe vera – to my basket. I chose the dusty rose shade, ideal for a natural look makeup.
I completed my buys with one last product, a body wash containing tea tree oil.
My skin is very sensitive and extremely fair. Moreover, the skin on my back is oily. So, in order to prevent blemishes, I use this body wash, which is amazing and I get great results. As the weather gets warmer, we will start showing more skin, so we need to think about getting rid of all imperfections, right ladies?
Well, needless to say, I left the store with a big smile on my face. I returned to my work, but I couldn’t wait to get home to try all the new products! I felt like a child with a new toy! You know that feeling, don’t you? I felt so happy and so excited, that I wanted to share my feelings. So, here I am, I am sharing a little everyday beauty experience with you!
What did you buy lately? Any new products that I should know about? I can’t wait to read your comments!
I love the gift sets that Bodyshop sells. Every time I get into their shop I can’t resist buying a few.. My latest makeup purchases are by the companies Essence and Catrice. They are really affordable brands. Once again your post is great Rodanthi!!
Well, every time I visit a BODY SHOP store, I am always buying gift sets too! For presents and mostly for me! I love them! I don’t think I have tried the companies you are mentioning. I will definitely try them. Thanks for the suggestion! And thank you for your kind words! 🙂 <3
I love the Body Shop! They do great exfoliators in there, works wonders for my skin 🙂
I love Body Shop products too! There are so many products to choose from. And everything I have tried, is great. Thank you! 🙂
I have always been into body butters and things of the like but I recently decided that I want to start hydrating my face better, and protecting it since the sun is now brighter as you have said, so I am currently using Boots Botanics anti-ageing moisturiser sp15.
It’s a good thing you are using a moisturiser with a SPF, although I would suggest that you used a higher SPF during summertime to protect your skin better. SPF 15 is a little low and sun protection should be No 1 on your anti-ageing list! Thank you! 🙂
Spring time is shopping time, always has been, it’s nice to have some sort of rules to follow while doing spring shopping. Thank you for sharing.
I think we feel the need for something new in Spring. We want to feel regenerated, just like nature does. 🙂
Im gearing up to spending so much on shopping this spring, you just gave me more ideas to aid in my indulgence 🙂
I am always happy to inspire in every way I can! 🙂
Wow! Spring, shopping and roses! Three of my favorite words! I will follow your advice and buy some spring cosmetics!
You couldn’t have said it any better! Spring, shopping and roses. We all love those.
