In my last post I introduced you to a Belle & Makeup shadow, Romantic pink 91, that while gorgeous didn’t really have the quality I look for in make up.
So as I have been known to do before, I grabbed the pan and paid a visit to my two most visited make up stores.
For a few months now, I have been trying to purge and consolidate my stash in order to enjoy what I have and find new homes for those products that I do not use. As an added benefit, the fact that I am forcing myself to go through my products means that I find forgotten gems in it and that I am not as susceptible to the next shiny new product to pop up when I know that I already have similar products.
The products featured here are colour products that are leaving because I either do not reach for them or because their quality is not up to par. For these reasons, I am giving these products to friends and family who will enjoy them better.
I must confess that when it comes to a body scrub I am the least demanding person ever: I only want a scrub that is not too hard on my skin, that does not irritate my skin and that smells nicely.
I suffer from keratosis pilaris on the arms and for this reason I always have a scrub in my shower stall, which I use a couple times a week. As I use it quite frequently, I prefer it not to be too aggressive.
Right now I am finishing a coconut scented scrub (it is ok, will feature it in upcoming posts) so I found myself in the market for a new one. As I had previously tried The Body Shop’ Olive Body Scrub and enjoyed its effects, I gave another of the company’s products a go.
In this case it is the Cocoa Cream Butter Body scrub that came home with me. The pot contains 200 mL and retails for 14€.
As with my previous The Body Shop scrub, the product is gentle enough while being effective. After you use it, your skin will feel smooth and soft, and I would go so far as to say that even slightly hydrated.
While I did not like the scent of the Olive Body Scrub much, I must say that the scent of this cocoa scrub is an appreciated improvement.
If you are interested in a body scrub, you might want to check The Body Shop’s range, as not only do they offer scrubs with different scents at an affordable price, but they also offer more specific scrubs like the Peppermint Soothing Foot Scrub or more luxurious ones like the Moroccan Black Olive and Argan Oil Scrub.
Do you use body scrubs as part of your routine? What are your recommendations?
Welcome to my little corner of the net.
There are many out there that have preceded me, but nevertheless, I think it is never late to join the community and contribute to it.
I have been a long time reader of beauty blogs and in fact it is because of them that I rediscovered my love for make up. There is no time limit to start playing with different products until you find what works for you and you develop your preferences.
As most of the blogs that I thank for inspiring me are written in English, I too will join the English-speaking community despite it not being my native language.
So without further ado, this is the short introduction to my blog and my opinions on the different products that I use.
