The Body Shop always carries me inside there Grafton Street store in Dublin, and recently after watching Essie Buttons review on the honey bronzer, I had to pop in to check it out. This bronzer comes in 4 matte shades, two with pink undertones, and two on the yellow side and seems perfect for the pale skin. It was 19 euro in store and I couldn't pull out that kind of money without purchases the other items I eyed up, so I decided to do an online shop since they had 40% off sitewide - amazing!!
I used parcel motel, which is a shipping service that you can get your items delivered to their UK address, and they drive them down to your closest parcel motel station. You enter the text code, and boom the locker opens and you have your package. Only 3.50 per stay and its easy to use.
It all arrived in this little box and the entire order was only £20 (sterling)! Defiantly made a lot of savings compared to buying in the Dublin store I usually browse.
I ordered a new eye cream, as I just finished my Benefit 'Its Potent', which did not impress me at all, as I didn't see any difference in the appearance of my circles or tired eyes. This is very light and has a unique fragrance to it, that i'm not sure i'm a fan of, but excited to try it! Contains 15ml.
Rainforest Volume shampoo, which I was drawn towards because it contains no sulfates, which I recently learnt are bad for your hair, espcially if its coloured, which I got mine done last week. I didn't realise that I ordered such a small size (oops, always happens online), but at least I can try it twice from this little 60ml bottle.
Since i'm a major germaphobe I wanted to try out a hand gel that didn't smell like I had just drank a bottle of vodka. This smells extremely strong of mango, wow! It's very over powering, but better than that alcohol smell anyway.
This soaps were only £1.20 each, which seems like a bargain and had looooads of great reviews. I purchased the Satsuma, Strawberry, and Chocomania soap smells. I cannot wait to try these (especially the chocolate one :p)
Saving the best for last, the Honey Bronzer. This product is what made me do an online order as I have heard too many great things about it and that it suits pale skin really well. This is very matte and velvety to touch. I got shade 03, as I found when swatching them in the shops, that there was not much colour pay off for shade 01 as it was very pale, and shade 02 had a slight pink undertone. I will review this if I love it, and coming into spring summer I think that it will be perfect.
