Matte Lip Liquid in 022 Paris Peony – New in to The Body Shop

Hey Sweeties,

Following last week’s review of the new Colour Crush Matte Lipstick in shade 429, Osaka Plum, I am excited to talk to you today about the second new lipstick range soon to be hitting The Body Shop -the Matte Lip Liquid.

While I adore The Body Shop for their cruelty free skincare and shower gels, scrubs etc. I haven’t tried much of their makeup so I was excited to give two new products from each range a go; today I am reviewing the shade 022 Paris Peony*.

Shower Gels ft. The Body Shop, Lush & Original Source – My Six Favourite

Hey Sweeties,

In this post I thought it would be fun to talk through my favourite shower gels with you. For me, I like something that smells good, and a formula that allows the product to froth up on contact with water so you get a really soapy experience in the shower.

I have tried un-scented shower gels before and I just cannot get on with them although I totally appreciate that some people both don’t like scented products, and also whose skin is too sensitive for them.

Pinita Colada Shower Gel & Body Scrub from The Body Shop

Hey Sweeties,

Oh my goodness guys, I hate jumping on bandwagons and following the crowd, but you need to believe the hype about The Body Shop’s Pinita Colada range; it’s B-E-A-utiful!

As you guys know, I am a big, big fan of The Body Shop and I am currently still absolutely loving the Polynesian Island Tiaré range (shower gel, body butter and eau de toilette). I am also still using the Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet as my daily moisturiser.

Honestly, if I could only forever more shop at one place for all my beauty and skincare, The Body Shop would probably be it. Anyway, I am digressing slightly.

In the event that you haven’t already sauntered into your local store to peruse the range for yourself (what are you waiting for?), I can tell you that within the collection you have; a shower gel, body sorbet, body scrub, and a body butter.

Because I have to listen to myself and only buy the things I will actually use and not just get carried away with the excitement of the moment (so easily done), I just purchased the shower gel and body scrub.

Polynesian Island Tiare Range from The Body Shop || Review

I have another exciting new range from The Body Shop to bring to your attention today: Polynesian Island Tiaré*.

As you guys well know by now, I am a big fan of The Body Shop and most recently I have been loving their Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet and the Drops of Light range, both of which I have incorporated into my everyday morning routine.

What is Tiaré?

Firstly, a note on the title, ‘Polynesian’ which is an adjective of Polynesia, a sub-region of Oceania, a collection of a thousand islands scattered over the central and southern Pacific Ocean. Tiaré is the name of a flower found on the island of Tahiti and is celebrated as the flower of affection.

During special ceremonies and holidays, the Tiaré flower is worn by both men and women, as well as given to guests in Tahiti as a sign of welcome.

As a scent

As a scent, tiaré is quite hard to describe so I asked Google what it thought and a description came up with, ‘heady and hypnotic’ as well as a dominant floral ingredient that awakens and excite the senses.’ And I completely agree.

While it is a sweet floral scent, it’s quite a deep level of sweetness so it’s not like your traditional floral fragrance that’s light and airy. This is definitely exotic and if you’ve holidayed where the tiaré flower can be found, this will be your ultimate vacation scent to take you back to that place.

The Products

If you like your deep heady floral scents you are going to love this range and all three of the products I have been given to try -the shower gel, body cream and eau de toilette- do not disappoint and for me are instant hits.

Of the three, the most subtle is the shower gel as while it is still deliciously fragrant, it’s not as dominating as the Body Cream which is thick, rich and creamy. As a combination, these two work really well together if you wanted your skin to have a pleasant exotic floral aroma about it that will take you through most of the day.

The Eau de Toilette on its own is also beautiful and as mentioned above, it will be a gorgeous summer fragrance for many, so definitely one to check out if you’re on the hunt for something new this year.

Summary

It’s got to be said (if it wasn’t already bleedin’ obvious) that I am completely in love with this range and I’ll be using the products across the summer months without fail.

Will you guys be checking out this Polynesian Island Tiaré range when it hits stores soon?

Until next time x
