Hello my lovelies and a Happy Tuesday to you all. Where has February gone? Having said that I am so happy that it is now March which brings lovely Spring as I am definitely fed up with Winter now. As soon as Christmas has passed for another year I am all set for Spring/Summer with warmer and sunnier days and new life. February has been a funny month for me. I feel I am a little guilty of minimal blogging as I have been ill with flu for half of the past month and I'm still not 100% yet. I won't complain when I next have a cold that's for sure. It just means that I have been trying out new products that much this past month. Wearing make-up was restricted back to the start of the month I therefore found it quite challenging to think of new products that I have loved using or trying this month as the majority of the time I have been ill in bed looking revolting. This wasn't intentional but this post seems to feature favourite products that are dominated by one shop. This isn't a sponsored post by The Body Shop and it is pure chance but what can I say, I have always loved The Body Shop and I know that I will continue to for many years to follow.
Oat and Honey Face Mask By The Body Shop
I think it's really important that we all take time to pamper our skin and look after ourselves. Something I'm sure we are all guilty of is not allowing or making enough time to do this. This is something that I am definitely guilty of. Once a week I try to have one pamper evening where I will indulge in a face pack, face mask, exfoliate and treat myself to a lovely bath using lovely special treat products. Call it an unofficial New Year's resolution if you like. Not something you would do on a daily basis in your quick morning bath that is a bit of a rush just for a quick wash to start the day off with. I have been testing a face pack from The Body Shop which is called an Oat and Honey mask. The smell of this mask is gorgeous. It's really refreshing and light and it just screams summer to me. The mask is also really soft on your skin so if you have sensitive skin I'm sure that you would be fine with using this one. The mask is a 2 in 1 face mask and exfoliate. This is perfect then for those of you who say that they don't have the time to pamper your self. Two jobs at the same time, no excuses my lovelies. It feels really soft and creamy on your skin as it also contains an inbuilt moisturiser. It's really easy to apply then you simply leave the mask on your cleansed skin for 5 to 10 minutes before washing the mask off with a warm flannel, toning and moisturising. I also think that this mask would be suited for those of you who suffer from dry skin as it is incredibly moisturising. I have been using this once a week every Saturday and it has earned a well deserved place in my weekly skin care routine. After using this mask my skin feel glowy and moisturised. I'm sure there are lot's of benefits for using one of these masks. If you think about it, you're born with one face to last you your whole life so why wouldn't you want to take care of it.
Satsuma Body Sorbet By The Body Shop
You all know that I love The Body Shop sorbets. Fact. The only difference here is that I have been enjoying using a scent that I haven't used in sorbet form before. I remember purchasing this back at the start of December thinking that Satsuma sounded perfect for Christmas. Although I have only just got round to using it now satsuma is a really refreshing scent. I apply this in the mornings and evenings. It just feels really refreshing on the skin. The little pockets of air pop onto your skin allowing the moisture to be absorbed. For another year I will continue to use these all year round only alternating on the different scents.
Eyeshadow Quad By The Body Shop
This isn't a new addition to my collection, in fact it's slightly embarrassing as to how old this could be. I have just found myself turning to these beautiful eyeshadows quite frequently and I remember doing the same back in January and December as well. It is a beautiful neutral quad with a whole lot of shimmer to it. I always finding myself turning to this for special occasions such as birthdays, nights out or meals out. Seeing as Christmas and my Birthday have just passed this quad has been of great use recently. It comes with a beautiful warm toned golden highlighter and three beautiful nude brown shades which are perfect for contouring with and using for definition such as under the eye. I remember receiving this as a Christmas gift many years back and it has been continued to be loved ever since. It is definitely one of my favourite eyeshadow palettes. An oldy but a classic and staple. The eyeshadow quad is called 01 Smoky Copper although unfortunately it has been discontinued so I'm dreading finishing this little beauty and I probably won't allow myself to ever fully finish it.
Glazed Apple Body Butter By The Body Shop
This has been mentioned in multiple favourites posts at multiple times of the year. It still remains a firm favourite and staple of mine. The Glazed Apple scent is hands down my favourite ever scent from The Body Shop. Unfortunately for me it is limited edition. Typical. Therefore I always make sure I stock up on it when I can and it is always top of the list of my Christmas list. I promise you it genuinely was the first thing on my list. I can't bare not to use any throughout the year which was a big mistake I made when the Mother of all crimes was made and the gingerbread scent was discontinued. I mean really. I will continue to use this scent throughout the entire year and I will never get bored of it or lose my love for it. Moisturising is always essential although I have found that I seem to have got through a lot of body butter over February. I think that's down to a combination of the cold weather and being ill it has been essential to moisturise any dry skin. It has a beautiful sweet and fruity scent combining fresh apples with sherbet. The perfect scent for me personally.
Thank you for reading this post my lovelies and I'm sorry that it is so short and sweet. I'm hoping I might get my mojo back now this month. I would love to know in the comments what products you have all enjoyed using over February and maybe let me know if there are any products that you want to try. I have seen that there have been a lot of lovely make-up realises for Spring so I won't lie but I feel a haul post coming on. I'm feeling a spontaneous shopping trip where I spend hours and hours staring at make-up stands and swatting. Heaven, very therapeutic and relaxing.
