Recently I had a bit of a shopping trip to the mall to two of my all-time favorite stores. It was my birthday a few weeks ago and my very wonderful brother got me two gift cards to these stores… so I had to go and do some damage.
The first store I went to was The Body Shop. I have been doing some research on a few products I have been really interested in. The one that has rally been at the top of my list was the Camomile Cleansing Butter. I always feel that my cleanser never really does the job of getting all my makeup, dirt, and oil off my face from a full day. The only way I know everything is off is when I wash my face with a cleanser and exfoliate which isn't always the best idea for my skin. So I had been looking for something more gentle that will get everything off my face at the end of the day. The Camomile Cleaning Butter does just that! And it smells AMAZING. It has such a nice calming smell that I can't get enough off. The way it works is you just cover your finger tips with the butter and then rub it over your face for about 30 seconds. Then you take a wet, warm cloth, and remove the butter, and POOF makeup is totally gone! You are left with a lovely smelling face that is not dried out from harsh chemicals, but still feels like skin should.
Another product I picked up was Coconut Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer. I have to be honest I am never one to really wash my hands excessively or use any antibacterial hand sanitizer. I have always thought those product were not a good idea because it only makes germs stronger. However... I think now that I am in contact with many more people due to my job and will be traveling more soon it can be important in certain situations to have a little extra clean. That being said... there was also a sale that had these antibacterial hand sanitizer at $2.00. I decided on the coconut option because the sweetness balances out the harsh smell of the germ killing chemicals. I am really happy with this product. The size is perfect but at the same time a I can tell the bottle will last me a good amount of time.
The next product I picked up and had been looking for the perfect one, is a travel size hand lotion. It is that time of year that it is getting colder and my hands tend to become very dry and I truly HATE that feeling. Dry hands just distracts me until I settle it. So when I found this little travel sized hand lotion on sale I knew I had to grab it. I picked the pink grapefruit sent and I love it! And so does my man ;) But the lotion itself is extremely hydrating and just what I need for the winter. A little goes a long way. It does not leave your hands sticky or oily but just nicely moist.
Another product I have looking to get is a moisturizer that is rich with vitiams, again just a little extra boost for these cooler months that dry me out. I can tend to have sentive skin so it is important that my skin products won't cause any problems. With that being said I love to get a test of a product before I buy a big full tub of it. So again with the sale... it was just perfect timing, because one of the sale products was a little tub of the Vitamin E Moisture Cream. It is a fairly light cream that does add an little extra something to my daily moisturizer. I use the product where I have my most dry skin, under my eyes and forehead. I really like it under my eyes where it really adds moisture and takes away any dullness.
Ok there seems to be a massive trend in what I picked up from The Body Shop... this next product is another one that adds moisture to dry areas due to the change into colder months... this time it's my lips. I picked up the tub on lip balm in honey. I don't really lip to have things are my lips that are too flavored because it seems like I am always about to eat something. The honey smell is so nice, very light but sugary, and the balm itself is hydrating.
Stay tuned for what I picked up from the next store :)
