The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Range

Hey loves!

Have you guys jumped into the Argan oil craze yet? If you already have or still planning to, you might be interested to check out the Wild Argan Oil range from The Body Shop.

I received these three products to try out and so far, I'm loving how these products keep my skin and hair feel softer and smoother!


So let's get to know what this range is all about from the press release.

PRECIOUS HANDPICKED ATLAS MOUNTAIN WILD ARGAN OIL

Deep in the foothills of the Atlas mountains in Morocco grows the wild Argan tree – the only area in the world where it thrives naturally.
Here, local Berber women hand-pick and meticulously hand-crack the best quality nuts, which are then slowly pressed to extract the purest, most radiant oil.
For centuries, the Berber women have used Argan oil, traditionally as part of their hammam beauty rituals, to protect and nourish their skin and hair from the harsh Saharan winds and fierce sun. It is rich in essential fatty acids - including linoleic acid (Omega 6) - and natural tocopherols, making it a superior skin-nourishing ingredient and earning it the title "Queen of Oils".
 

5% of the skin is on the face so it’s important not to forget the body
Skin on your body ages just as fast as your face, so don't neglect it.

Moroccan women indulge in weekly cleansing rituals at their local hammam, where the combination of regular
steaming, scrubs and massages leaves their skin radiant and soft. Now you can experience the reinvigorating
benefits of a hammam in your own home with The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Bath & Bodycare range.



And now, the products:

 Body Butter


This 200ml tub is worth Php 695.00.




Rough Scrub

 The 200ml tub is Php 995.00




 The Radiant Oil
This is worth Php 1,595.00


And there's also a shower gel that's Php 395.00 that holds 250ml.

All these products smell so good. It's like a sweet nutty flavor. I am really liking it. Although this is still not one of my favorites (I LOVE Moringa and Vanilla most, of course), this is still quite addicting!

I'm no stranger to the body butters and body scrubs from The Body Shop. They are all really good and these new additions are also as good as the other ones. It will really leave your skin softer and smoother and smelling oh so good! The Radiant Oil, on the other hand, is my favorite because it just does wonders to my hair! It keeps it moisturized and makes it look healthier. You should definitely check this out!

And that's the Wild Argan Oil range from The Body Shop. What do you think of it? Do you see any product there that intrigues you?

The Body Shop Special Edition Body Butter and Body Scrub in Blueberry

Good afternoon ladies,

Today we introduce the newest addition to the collection of body care from The Body Shop. Their special edition products in Blueberry.


The Body Shop's special edition includes: lip butter, shower gel, bath sponge, body lotion, body butter, and body scrub. The only ones that we could get our hands on are the body butter and body scrub.


The blueberry fragrance is a refreshing scent on the body. It's just light and fruity, I am happy that the scent is not strong since I get dizzy of heavy fruity scents. Anyway, as for the hydration, it's not any different as the other body butters from TBS. It's not a favorite of mine to use in this summer heat.


The body scrub however has more microbeads (if that is the term) compared to the others in the body scrub. So it's a really good scrub to use.


The scent lasts for at least two hours on the body but in this weather, it does not last as long. Anyway, it's still a good scrub to use.

Well, I hope you guys try them out. The bath sponge is really cute I think you guys would enjoy using it.

Cheers,
LIZ

Something New: The Body Shop's Honeymania Collection

Hey guys!

A few days ago, I received this set from The Body Shop.


These are skincare products from their newest collection—Honeymania! I've seen them before in TBS' International Facebook Page and was very curious to smell it because they kept saying that it smells really good. So when I got the package, I would have to agree.

It's not exactly all honey in terms of the scent. It has a bit of floral smell... like honey made fresh from the flower fields where the bees got it from. I'm not really good with words so just trust me when I say that you have to smell this collection for yourself.

New Product : The Body Shop Body Mist

 Hello, hello! :D

This month, The Body Shop has been introducing to us some of their newest products.
I've already posted about their beautifying oils which I totally love! ♥

And for today, the product that I'd like to share with you are their:

 THE BODY SHOP BODY MISTS

 These babies were just out a few days ago actually. June 14 if I remember correctly.
It's available in various scents:
 From left to right: Moringa, Strawberry, Pink Grapefruit, Shea, Coconut, Vanilla, Satsuma and Mango

Though these new items were only out 5 days ago, I was able to take one home weeks ago from The Body Shop event I attended. Yayy! I was one of the first few people in the country to try it out! I feel special. Shucks. ♥


 I got the vanilla one. My favorite! ♥

 So here are some information about the Body Mists in Vanilla which I got from the press kits provided during the event:


VANILLA BODY MIST
                                                           
Our Vanilla takes on a fresh new form. Spray this light scented body mist all over your body for a gentle burst of warm vanilla. It’s irresistible.

=Warm vanilla fragrance
=Light and fresh
=Use all over body
=Contains vanilla extract

How to use
Spritz it on after bathing or showering. Top up throughout the day.

STAR INGREDIENTS
Community Fair Trade ORGANIC alcohol
VANILLA EXTRACT

 Phew... quite long huh? But as you can see with the description, the body mists contain ingredients that they got from their community fair trade. Curious on what it is? Read my blog post about it here.

The best thing about using The Body Shop products is that you get to support their projects to help communities and our Mother Earth because they make their products from natural ingredients and are cruelty-free.

You look good, feel good and do good!


 These body mists sure do smell nice! I got to smell each of these bottles during the event too. My second favorite is Moringa and third is probably Shea.

I use these a lot! After I shower, whenever I go out (I even bring this along), and even before going to bed. I'm addicted to vanilla, you see! ♥
Although I love how it smells, staying power is not so... powerful. Haha!
Scent can probably last up to an hour or two. Then I'll just have to spray again. It isn't perfume so I guess it doesn't have to be strong but I just prefer those that I can smell for a long period of time. :P

Still a favorite fragrance from The Body Shop is their White Musk Libertine. ♥
Stays all day on me! Haha!

Oh and BTW,
I have mentioned about the new look of one of The Body Shop's best-sellers, their Body Butters!
Here's a poster where you can check the complete collection:


 Picture taken from TBS Glorietta Branch

Here's some info from the press kits:
Celebrate our Style
Introducing...
Our New Look Body Butter

IN 13  DIFFERENT FRAGRANCES, OUR BODY  BUTTERS  ARE AMONG OUR MOST FAMOUS PRODUCTS, WITH ONE TUB OF BODY BUTTER SELLING EVERY TWO SECONDS. AND NOW, THEY’RE GETTING A  BRAND NEW LOOK. WHAT ’S SO DIFFERENT ABOUT THE NEW DESIGN?

• Gorgeous photography focusing on a single natural ingredient
• Photography of the natural ingredients used a magnifying glass to highlight their beauty
• Logo surrounding the ingredient “protects” the natural ingredient within, symbolising our Protect the Planet ethos
• 100% recyclable packaging

 I do like the new packaging because it looks more youthful and simple. 
Can't remember what it used to look like?

 Here's 4 of the old design.

So which one do you like more?

Have you tried the any of The Body Shop Body Mists yet?
Which one is your favorite?

Event : The Body Shop Introduces Their New Beautifying Oils

 Hi beautiful readers!

Yesterday, The Body Shop Philippines held an event at their branch in Glorietta 3 store wherein they introduced their newest products!

 Loving their slogan, "Beauty with Heart."
That's what The Body Shop is all about! Cruelty-free products that make you beautiful inside and out! :)

 Upon reaching the event's place, I saw this...
 The store having a sale on selected items!
And some unfamiliar products too! This gave me an idea of what the event is about...

 And what's this? A different look on the packaging of the Body Butters?

Anyway, after I registered, they took me to this little booth wherein it says,
"Free Hand Massage."
 They will be using the newest product of TBS in the market,
The beautifying oils.

 Gem was the one who gave me a hand massage.
She's really nice and talked to me about the new beautifying oils.

Here are the stars of the event.
 These beautifying oils can be used on the body, hair and even on the face! They smell soooo good! I'll post more details and my thoughts regarding these babies in a separate post so please do wait for it! :)

Here are the scents available:
TBS Beautifying Oils in Shea, Strawberry, Moringa, Satsuma. Chocomania, and Olive
 
 These two, Olive and Moringa, are my favorite among the scents!

 Btw, there were also free makeovers! I wasn't able to get one since I was busy chitchatting with people and taking pictures. The ones who got their makeovers looked so fresh and stunning!

Displayed on the store with a "Coming Soon" signs were these Body Mist bottles!
 These will be released this June.
TBS was generous enough to let us be the first few to try them out! I got my favorite among the bunch, Vanilla! Yay! I'm gonna get Moringa next! ♥

 Another set of products coming soon are:
 The Lily Cole Makeup Line
Which will also be out this month!
These pretty little things are picked by TBS' New Global Ambassador, Lily Cole, herself!

The line includes:

 Lily Cole - Shimmer Cubes
  Lily Cole - Lip & Cheek Dome in Crazy for Coral

 Lily Cole - Pearl Radiance Primer
Lily Cole - Liquid Eyeliner

 Lily Cole - Puff On Radiance
 Lily Cole - Lip & Cheek Dome in Pinch me Pink

I wasn't able to test them but there will be a separate event for this one! Can't wait to try them out! Especially the shimmer and primer! :)

Also inside the store is this little area for snacks and refreshments!

Yummy cupcakes! We were told that these traveled from Bulacan!
All the trouble of driving to pick these up are so worth it! These cupcakes are just delish!

 And some cold drinks were served. I was able to drink 2 bottles! Was very thirsty because of the hot weather that day.

Of course I have to visit my favorite area of every The Body Shop store...
No, it's not the makeup area...

 It's their Fragrances! I'm just a fan! Their Libertine White Musk and Dreams Unlimited are ♥♥♥!

 And there are also these cute gift sets of TBS products you can buy for friends, family or your special someone!

 And look what I found:
 A set of body butters with the old design. Looking at these, I find the new ones looking more simple and youthful!

 Besides the free hand massage and makeovers, there was also a small power point presentation prepared.

Kat gave us a very entertaining introduction of the topic
 
 while Jo-I presented the slides.
I really liked the presentation and how The Body Shop makes us 
look good, feel good and do good!

 What I love most about the presentation was reading The Body Shop's Manifesto.

"We believe true beauty comes from the heart. 
For us, beauty is more than just a pretty face. 
It's about feeling good and doing good too.
We make our products with love and care.
We source some of our finest raw ingredients
from the four corners of the globe.
We harness the skills of artisan farmers and
add our expertise to create effective products
that are wonderful to use.
We trade fairly so communities benefit as well as you.
We never test on animals, and all our products
are 100% vegetarian, We campaign with passion on issues
close to our heart, because activism is in our blood.
We always keep the people, animals and the planet in mind.
So when you shop with us, you are choosing...
BEAUTY WITH HEART."

Isn't that just beautiful? That's everything The Body Shop stands for and which makes it such a special brand for me.

And of course, the event won't be complete without pictures with people!!

 with Helen and Shen
I was with Helen during most of the event! Nice to finally meet you!

 with Danica!
I've met her in previous TBS events. She gave us detailed information on the new products!

 Kat and Danica at the left pic and me with Angel at the right

 and a fab group pic with these pretty ladies
From left to right: Kat, Danica, me, Shen, Helen, and Jo-I

And before leaving, they handed us some goodie bags which consisted of their products.
 
 a bottle of their new Body Mist (I got vanilla! Yay!)
A big tub of the Chocomania Body Butter
and a Chocomania Beautifying Oil

 I bet my sister, Trace, would love Chocomania!

On the drive back home, I was so excited to try them out!
Alas, I slept smelling sweet and feeling good! ♥

The event was fun and made me excited for the other products from The Body Shop that are soon to come, especially the Lily Cole makeup line!

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this post.
Which of the products are you interested to try? Are you excited as well with the new items The Body Shop has in store for us?


Cheers!
