I Use many Body Shop products I love the quality and what the company stands for. I particularly love the Tea Tree line. I started using this after deciding that I am an adult and needed a face wash that wasn't meant for people going through puberty but still wanted something that would keep my adult blemishes at bay. This product is very light and doesn't leave your face with that tight, over cleansed feeling. I do find I need to use a little more of the product than others to achieve a good lather on my face. I like that it is more of a liquid than a cream cleanser and it doesn't agitate my dry skin. it does a very good job at fighting blemishes and I've noticed an improvement to my pores. The price is a little bit higher than regular drug store face wash but the quality, and community fair-trade, make it worth it. -

I like Aveeno bath and body products, I've used the cream for years, and the bodywash is great if you have sensitive or dry skin. I received this as part of a Christmas gift and swapped it out for my usual unscented Aveeno body wash. It works just as well as the original formula but it smells AMAZING. My skin is soft, I smell good, winning all around. -

I have been using this for years. I have a bottle in multiple rooms in my house, at my desk and in my purse. It is a simple no fuss moisturizer that works great for dry sensitive skin. My hands suffer greatly in the winter and this cream saves them, I used this while I was pregnant to help prevent stretch marks, I use it on my son, and my tradesman husband. just a good overall staple. -

I'm not one for salon brand expensive shampoos and conditioners but I still want something that will keep my long, heat styled, hair looking nice. I honestly bought this shampoo/conditioner pair because it was 7$ each for the giant pump bottles, and it smells good. I wash my hair every 2-3 days and blow dry/straighten it. This product does a great job keeping my hair smooth, shiny and soft and free from visible damage. I find with the shampoo you have to make sure your rinse your hair really well as some residue can get left behind but otherwise no complaints for my discount shampoo/conditioner. -

I don't use foundation for day to day makeup, I honestly don't have time for it, and my skin is naturally pretty even. However, when I go out I LOVE to do full makeup and wanted a less expensive alternative to the specialty foundation I'd been using. On paper this foundation is good, matte, long lasting, lots of colour option, not animal tested, won't clog pores. for the first couple hours of wear these hold true but I find after about three hours it seeps into the lines in my face and highlights EVERYTHING I do not want highlighted. I do use a primer under my foundation. Also, the colour choices are not great. I am naturally very fair with slight pink undertones and the lighter shades are honestly white white or white/yellow. -

I started using this after a certain landmark birthday when I noticed a few new friends on mt face. I use mostly Body Shop products as I love the quality, as well as what the company stands for. I use this in combination with the tea tree oil face wash and toner as the last step in my nighttime skin routine. Initially the mask is a little odd it almost looks rubbery in the container and the consistency is a little odd. I found i really had to blend it into my skin to make sure it all absorbed. A little bit goes a very long way. Once it's on my skin it feels super light and takes away any tightness, it also smells good. I've been using it for a few months and have noticed a difference in the appearance of the lines on my face. While they are not gone completely they are much less noticeable. The price of the cream is a little steep, but it is comparable to drug store wrinkle creams i.e. Olay except this one is cruelty free! The container is quite large and as I mentioned a little goes a long way so it will last quite a while. -

After becoming a new Mom and hitting a certain landmark birthday, I noticed big changes to my face, new lines, dullness and deep dark under eye circles. I love The Body Shop both their products and what they stand for so I decided to add this to my morning routine and it's made a noticeable difference. The price is a little steep compared to some drug store products but a little goes a long way. It applies smoothly, doesn't irritate my eyes, and takes down some of the puffiness that comes with 2,4, and 6 am baby wake ups. It has also improved the darker raccoon rings around my eyes and I find it makes the area under my eye a little lighter. One thing I haven't noticed a big difference in is the little lines around my eyes. -

This product is amazing. I hate the cost of salon peels and facials but needed something to help wake up my dull, grumpy, sleep deprived skin. I bought this on a whim and it quickly became part of my regular routine. I typically use it once a week, as instructed in store, on Sunday nights so I’m ready for the work week and it makes such a difference in the quality of skin. It’s a little alarming at first as you rub it in and little lint ball looking bits of skin start coming off your face but after you rinse it off your skin is so soft. I typically follow it up with moisturizer for an added hit of TLC and I’ve noticed such a difference. My skin is definitely less dull and I’ve even found my occasional breakouts have subsided. This in combination with a few other body shop products have allowed me to ditch foundation for my day to day makeup wear which is HUGE for me. The upfront price is a little high but because you only use it once a week and bottle is a decent size it will last months. -

to describe how much I love my cricut. After wanting one of these for many years I was gifted one. At first it is a little daunting as there are so many different things to learn. With a little patience and alot of youtubing the possibilities with this craft machine are pretty endless. I love all the different cartridges and that you can upload and create your won designs. I use it create cards, vinyl decals, stencils for shit/bag/etc. printing. You can print your own designs onto trasferrable vinyl, the list is endless. It comes in a variety of colour options and I especially love the Air because you can use it wirelessly. Cricut also took into account loyal customers with older machines and it is compatible with older cartridges. The software itself isn't hard to figure out, just watch a couple tutorial videos. My only suggestion is make sure your computer doesn't run too slow as I find sometimes Design Space will bog down my computer. -

I usually love products from the Body Shop for both quality and the values promoted by the brand, but was thoroughly disappointed with their Banana Hair mask, I have used the banana shampoo and conditioner in the past and found that they left my hair feeling soft, and the entire line smells delicious. I bought this on a whim thinking that as a mask it would be an amplified version of the conditioner, claiming to restore moisture to dry hair. I was very disappointed when it turned out to be nothing more than a glorified (somewhat lackluster) version of the conditioner. I didn't notice any improvement to my hair after numerous uses, and unless i rinsed it out really well it left my hair oily feeling. While it still smells great I wont be purchasing this "mask" again. -
