I've heard of the brand "The Body Shop," and I've seen it in Ulta before, but I've never bought anything from there...until now.
While on a trip to the mall to test drive a MacBook Pro, I just had to stop in at every beauty store on the way...lush, mac, you name it!
Lately, I've been quite good at not spending my money on frivolous items; however, that was before I smelled The Body Shop's Clementine Bath Products.
In one word, YUM!
I love these products. I purchased the body polish, body butter, and a lip gloss.
I really regret not purchasing the shower gel!
The clementine products smell citrusy and bright (it's a happy scent, and as Audrey Hepburn says--the prettiest girl is a happy girl). There is also a sweet, fruity element to this scent, it isn't all citrusy...
My favorite product out of these three, is the body polish.
It is definitely exfoliating, but it is not as harsh as a regular sugar (or salt) scrub (I use one from Victoria's Secret). I only use shower scrubs about twice a week maxmium...but this body polish, you could use it everyday if you like! (And I have been!)
Downside: this was $20! A bit expensive I think. Also, it doesnt lather well on a loufa, which maybe body polishes in general do not lather well, but this forces me to use my hands and I feel like that makes me use so much more product than is necessary...and for that price I want to enjoy every little bit of this product for as long as possible!
I think next time, I would rather purchase the body wash, instead of the body polish again.
My second favorite product is the body butter. I'm a sucker for body butters!
This body butter is great! (Much better than Bath and Body Works lotions...not that they're bad...this just works much better). This also leaves the smell of clementines on your skin for hours after application! So yummy! I apply this after showering, and it leaves my skin hydrated and not greasy!
Downside: it smells a little different in the lotion form I think, but maybe that's just me. After I apply it, it smells wonderful. Just to me, it smells a little different in the pot. Also, this was $10, and this is the small size!
Despite the size, and price, if I ever run out of this baby, I would probably repurchase it!
Lastly, the lip gloss.
This is a sheer gloss that has sparkles in it, but I cannot detect them on the lips.
If you're looking for an opaque coral gloss, this is NOT for you!
I was looking for a lip butter, and this certainly is not a thick lip butter, but it is hydrating, and I can barely detect the shimmers on my lips, which I like.
This has the amazing scent of the clementines as well, which is the whole reason I did not return this product.
While I love this product and the way it smells, I cannot stand flavoring in lip products, and this product has a weird taste. I'm not a fan...
As long as the product stays on my lips and does not travel into my mouth, I love it, but I would probably not repurchase this item.
Despite the fact that I would not repurchase 2/3 items, these really are great! I love the scent, and will definitely use these a lot!
