The Body Shop Sale Haul

So I was walking past The Body Shop the other day and I noticed they had a sale on, so of course I had to go and have a look even though I didn't intend to buy anything. First of all I should explain how much I love their products especially as they are cruelty free and they have strong values to defend human rights and the planet. Therefore I do not mind paying that little bit extra for beauty products over your cult drug store/high street alternatives as the lines can get blurred over animal testing and company ethics. And of course most of the products that I have tried are amazingly high quality and effective.

Save the world rant/introduction over, here's what I got:



The first product that I picked up was the Hemp Moisture High Balm for very dry skin. For only £1 I think that it was an absolute steal as you only need to apply the tiniest amount for your skin to bounce back from dry flakiness. My elbows have already been rescued so hopefully my investment will last me a while




The second product that I picked up was the Passion Fruit Body Scrub for £5, which they must have discontinued as I cannot find the link on the website. However it smells divine and hopefully the seeds will give me the exfoliation that I like, especially as I love the Coconut Body Scrub, but I am trying other body scrubs as the £12.50 price tag is a bit hefty.



The final product that I bought was Bronzing Powder in the shade 04. I already had one of these in the shade 01 which I got at least two years ago and I have only just hit pan, possibly due to the fact that I am so ridiculously pale and even using the lightest hand with this can make me look orange. I love the sun pattern, it makes me feel like I'm making myself tanned without the damage the sun wreaks on my skin as I burn really easily.

For some reason Shade 04 (left)  seems to be lighter and less orange than Shade 01 (right)


As my birthday was this month I got to choose a free gift up to £5 in value. Yay for the Love Your Body Card. I got the Almond Body Butter and paid £1 as it was £6, reduced from £12.50. I am a fan of the almond hand care products so hopefully this body butter will give my skin the same level of love and moisture.


In total this haul was £10.30 and I saved £6.30. Man do I love The Body Shop.

What are your favourite Body Shop products?
