It's easy to apply and isn't all sticky, my lips also feel very hydrated whilst wearing this and this feeling lasts all day.
I must say it has definitely improved the condition of my lips.

You just use them as you normally would with any lip balm and apply as required.

I highly recommend these and I will definitely be stocking up on them :) 


The Body Shop also uses Community Fair Trade Beeswax:

  • Beeswax

    Our Community Fair Trade beeswax is supplied by Guide D’Espoir in Cameroon. It comes from the remote Adamaoua region, where farmers harvest it from hives handcrafted from bamboo. This traditional method of beekeeping helps promote strong, healthy bees and deters logging. To find out more, visit our Community Fair Trade section.

    These beauties are only £3 which is a right good bargain for such a great product, and you can buy them by clicking here or from your local Body Shop





    Have you tried any of the Born Lippy Lip Balms? If so which is your favourite one?

Colourglide Lip Colour - The Body Shop

Hello my lovely readers :)

Following on from yesterdays blog post, i want to share with you another favourite lipstick of mine that i wear on a daily basis.
(You can never have too many lipsticks!)

This one is from The Body Shop.



Colourglide Lip Colour - The Body Shop


PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Our classic lipstick gives intense, moisturising colour that lasts.

This is a lovely lipstick and my lips feel moisturised when wearing it.

Although it isn't a bright colour it looks very nice and natural on the lips.  

I also love the simple silver packaging it comes in.


I got the shade 'Plum' number 85481.

They have so many other lovely shades too :)



The lipstick applies easy to the lips and isn't messy.


This lipstick cost £10.00 from The Body Shop which is a little pricey for what i would usually pay for a lipstick, but this lasts a long time on your lips so you don't need to keep reapplying it.

Beauty: The Body Shop - Warming Mineral Mask

Warming Mineral Mask


I love love love this product! I really do!

I have been using this for a while now and i just have to share it with you :)



Product Description


"This cleansing mask for all skin types warms on contact with wet skin. It leaves skin clean and revitalised."
Cleansing
Oil-absorbing
Weekly treatment

Full Ingredients

PEG-8 (Humectant), Zeolite (Warming Agent), Glycerin (Humectant), Kaolin (Absorbent), Methyl Gluceth-20 (Viscosity Modifier), Zinc Oxide (Sunscreen), PEG-220 (Binder/Humectant/Solvent), Algae (Seaweed Extract) (Natural Additive), Methylparaben (Preservative), Propylparaben (Preservative), Tocopheryl Acetate (Antioxidant), Curcuma zedoaria (Zedoary Oil) (Skin Conditioning Agent), Zingiber officinale (Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Oil) (Natural Additive), Cinnamal (Fragrance Ingredient), Cinnamomum zeylanicum (Cinnamon Oil) (Fragrance), Linalool (Fragrance Ingredient), Eugenol (Fragrance Ingredient), Limonene (Fragrance Ingredient), Benzyl Benzoate (Solvent), Citral (Fragrance Ingredient), Coumarin (Fragrance Ingredient), Cinnamyl Alcohol (Fragrance Ingredient).



How I use the Mineral Warming Mask

To use this product, i wet my skin and then apply a generous amount. 
I can instantly feel the warming sensation of this mask. It does actually feel really nice :)
I use this twice a week before i go to bed. I usually take off my eye make up first and then cleanse my skin and rinse and then apply the Mineral Warming Mask. You leave the mask on for 5 minutes then rinse off. After this i tone my skin and apply a serum and then moisturiser.

You do however have to put pressure on the tube to get the product to come out after you have been using it a while as i sometimes have trouble getting it out. But a little does go a long way and has lasted me a very long time.



(A photo of me with the Face Mask on!!)

My Verdict

I always find it hard to find a good face mask as a lot of ones that i have bought in the past say that they do this and that and never work!
This one really does work and since using it, my skin has become a lot softer and hydrated and also a lot more spot-free!
I feel this product is great at helping to get rid of breakouts. When i start to have a breakout i use this on my skin and i can already see an improvement the following morning.

I highly recommend this product and at £10.00 for 100ml it is a great buy, especially because it works.

This definitely has to be one of best purchases and i will definitely continue to buy this.
I also highly recommend checking out the rest of The Body Shop products as i love their cleansers, toners, serums and moisturisers. I love just about everything from The Body Shop :)

I also love their products because they are against animal testing, which i feel strongly about. Their products are also 100% Vegetarian. 

You can buy this product from HERE.





Thank you for reading and please let me know in the comment section below what your favourite Body Shop products are :)

Beauty: The Body Shop - Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover - Review


 I bought the Body shop's Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover about a couple of months.

This product costs £8 in store and online.


Packaging:

This product comes  as you see it in the picture above. It is quite attractive and has a very good explanation on the front and back of the product in the bottle of what it does and the ingredients.




Full Ingredients

Aqua (Solvent/Diluent), Glycerin (Humectant), Polysorbate 20 (Emulsifier), Coco-Glucoside (Surfactant), Sodium Cocoamphoacetate (Surfactant), Benzyl Alcohol (Preservative), Phenoxyethanol (Preservative), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (Surfactant), Sodium Chloride (Viscosity Modifier), Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract (Skin-Conditioning Agent), Citric Acid (pH Adjuster), Methylparaben (Preservative), Disodium EDTA (Chelating Agent), Butylparaben (Preservative), Ethylparaben (Preservative), Propylparaben (Preservative), Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Rosa Damascena Flower Extract (Fragrance Ingredient), Sodium Butylparaben, Sodium Ethylparaben (Preservative), Sodium Methylparaben (Preservative), Sodium Propylparaben (Preservative).








When i applied 'Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover':

I use cotton wool pads to apply this product to my eyes. 
When i first applied this, i noticed how cool and soothing it was on my eyes, and how quickly it takes off the eye make-up. I put the cotton wool pad over my eye and held it there for a few seconds before pulling away, as this gives the product a chance to 'absorb' the eye make-up, I then wiped the left over eye make-up off.

This product also lasts for a very long time, as a little goes a long way. You only need to put a little bit of the product on to a cotton wool pad.

My eyes felt really clean after i first used this product, and i have loved using it ever since. Its great at taking of you eye make-up. The product is also very light on the skin and is very gentle too.


Overall Verdict:

I highly recommend this product as i absolutely love it as a eye make-up remover, I've found it very hard to find a gentle eye make-up remover as good as this one. Ones that i have used in the past have made my eyes very sore and feel dried out, and others don't get rid of all the eye make-up. 

I love that this product is fragrance and colour-free, I also love how they use Community Fair Trade camomile oil which comes from Norfolk Essential Oils, a family-run co-operative in England. It is made with freshly cut flowers, steam-pressed and cooled to produce essential oil. This provides the farmers with a reliable income, and has helped to revitalise the local economy. 

Pro's:
Cool and Soothing on the eyes,
Very gentle whilst using on the eyes,
Great at removing eye make-up,
Fragrance and colour-free,
Community Fair Trade camomile oil,
Very good value for money, as you only need to use a little bit at a time.

Con's:
None.

I heard some great reviews on this product and now i know why.

I give this product a high 5/5.
 I give it this score because i really do love this product, and will continue to buy it. 
I highly recommend it.
