I purchased this as a morning cleanser after my @thebodyshop Himalayan charcoal face wash ran out.
My very first thought was that for the price(£12), the bottle is a little bit small (100ml) but I decided to buy it anyway🙈
The cleanser looks like an orangey gel and it smells and feels so luxurious😍. The instructions do say to apply it to a dry face but I didn’t feel that my face was being cleansed properly and I had to use a lot of cleanser per wash so I started applying it to a wet face instead which works a little bit better however I still feel like my face hasn’t been deeply cleanser like my Himalayan charcoal face wash used to make my face feel.
Repurchase?
Overall, i would not repurchase this cleanser purely because it makes my face feel softer after washing but definitely not cleaner.
Positives:
✅Smells amazing
✅Feels very luxurious on my skin, amazing texture
✅Hydrating
✅Softening
✅Vegan
Negatives:
❌Small tube
❌Not an effective face wash
❌Doesn’t help reduce oil/grease

Because a lot of my face is quite oily, I’ve been on the hunt for a non-greasy SPF. At first I saw lots of reviews for the body shop skin defence spf50 so I bought it and tried it out. Unfortunately, it was too oily and greasy for me so I opted for a lower spf to see if that affected the greasiness. I went with this @thebodyshop vitamin C glow protect lotion spf30 hoping that it would give me more of a glow rather than oily look. It has not disappointed!
I apply quite a thick layer to make sure I get full coverage from the sun and it feels a little oily when I’m applying it but when I rub it in properly, I’m left with a nice glow rather than a greasy face. The smell is divine (it smells like oranges) which is great because I hate putting products in my face that don’t smell nice😣.
The only downside is the price. It’s £15 for a 50ml tube! It’s not extremely expensive but I do feel like it could be cheaper.

The texture of this night mask is very thick so it soaks into your skin quickly. Straight after applying, there is no tightening/ firming feeling. It feels very comfortable to sleep with it on as it doesn’t make my face feel dry or tight.
The morning after using it, my face feels very moisturised and super glowy!! However I wouldn’t say that it is a good firming mask.
In the long term, it hasn’t made my face feel any firmer but I guess I’m not really the target audience. Perhaps it would work for people looking for anti- ageing products but I don’t fall under that category.
𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞?
Despite it not being a very firming mask, I would repurchase this just because of how glowy and hydrated it made my skin look. I would only repurchase if I saw it at Tkmaxx again or if it’s on offer because I don’t think it’s worth £14.

I loved this mask so much even though I’ve only used one! Firstly, I love the fact that you get to mix the mask together yourself because it just makes it so much more fun. I liked the rubber texture- it’s very different from other masks and it doesn’t make your face feel all stiff when it dries like clay masks do. It peeled off very easily and didn’t hurt at all. My face felt so soft and definitely firmer afterwards. I would 100% repurchase this mask!

At first, it didn’t do much except create a tingling sensation on my skin. Now, it has gotten rid of the small bumps on my forehead and has made my face super smooth! I haven’t noticed any long term brightening in my skin but straight after using it makes my skin brighter. It doesn’t leave any oil or residue on my skin which is great because parts of my face are very oily.
