The Body Shop Mini Haul


While I was in Toronto, my cousins and myself went out a little outside the city to where my Aunt lives, which is Mississauga. As they are musicians, they had rehearsals for a gig they were doing that evening, so they stuck in me in one of the biggest malls called Square One for 3 hours. I knew being in a mall that long I could do some serious damage....and I did. I did throughout the whole trip but this was the first. 


I guess that's what vacations are for: to eat and shop. 


One of the shops I stopped into was The Body Shop (all I wanted to do was look around, not really buy anything).  We have The Body Shop in London but I have never been interested in buying because the products are somewhat expensive for the quanity of their products. 


However, there was a really great deal going on (I think it is still going on), it was buy 2, get 1 free or buy 3, get 2 free. I totally took advantage of it. I got 2 of the same eyeliners, 2 body butters and a body lotion. The body lotion I have actually lost. That seems to be a theme in my life lately. 


One of the body butters I got was actually in the miniature collection, which was in the deal of 3 for $10. The first one is called Satsuma Body Butter (pictured below). I don't know what Satsuma is but it smells orange to me and there's an orange on the cover. It smells completely amazing and it makes my skin so soft. Also, my skin sort of shines in the sun when I go out. 




Another body butter I got was Pink Grapefruit Body Butter (pictured below). I also got the lotion in this flavor, I believe. I am so impressed with the body butters. I really want to get some more. My friend was telling me how she has so many body butters and that they are really delicious. I am now on the same page as her. 




The last product I got was 13 Eye Definer Eyeliner: Brushed Amber. It retails for $11 and I have to say it was worth every penny. I got one for myself and one for my friend, I really wanted to try their makeup for awhile. At first I was very skeptically about trying it because $11 for an eyeliner is a bit pricey.



As you from the picture above it is a goldish/brown color. The pencil is soft but firm enough that it doesn't break while I sharpen it like my 17 Photo Flawless Eyeliner


From the swatch above you can see how pigmented the color actually is. I mostly use it on the bottom lash line to bring out the color in my eyes. Sometimes I will use it on both lashes and I am very impressed. It lasts a really long time, I could way it all day and it wouldn't fade. 


Two thumbs way up for The Body Shop products!!!

  1. I usually walk past The Body Shop as well, i always think it's some overpriced but I forget that some of their products are worth it. The body butters are def. one them, don't think you can get anything like it anywhere else! The smell lasts forever as well. I haven't tried any of their makeup but by the looks of that liner, I think I should! :)
