In collaboration with Caroline Hirons (all hail), The Body Shop ran an amazing competition via their Instagram to win a night time essentials package put together by the beauty expert/guru herself filled with the new Vitemin E line and some other goodies and drumrollllll.....I WON!!! I don't think I have ever won anything in my life so was very excited when I not only received the news but also got a cheeky Insta-comment from Caroline (cue shameless Chandler Bing dance around the studio and bewildered colleagues).
I have really enjoyed using all of the products I received and have been dying to write up a wee post since the win in February but of course, like the experimentalist I am, I wanted to give each product a fair and sufficient test before giving my verdict and I can say I am impressed!
Besides the odd tub of cocoa body butter every now and again, I haven't used any Body Shop products for quite some time but these guys have really stepped up their game and are giving some more high end brands a run for their money.
Along with some Vitamin E goodies, in the package came the Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter a lovely light and soft balm which just melts any makeup residue away and leaves your skin feeling so fresh. This has quickly become a morning fave of mine. I also have loved the Nutriganics Smoothing Eye Cream and can honestly say I haven't gone a morning or night without using this stuff, it has been great even with my sensitive skin.
The Vitamin E Cream Exfoliator is always a nice mid-week treat and occasionally a lil Sunday addition to the night time routine too, it is a really light, non-abrasive exfoliator which gently scrubs away the dead skin without being too fussy or messy and something I will definitely repurchase in the future. Unfortunately though, I don't think I have been quite won over yet by the Vitamin E Hydrating Toner but it smells lovely plus I am a bit of a toner sceptic so I'm not sure if it is just a "it's not you, it's me" kind of situation with this one. But what can I say about the Vitamin E Overnight Serum and Vitamin E Night Cream , a match made in heaven, not something I pair up every night but when I do, it is bliss and if you add the Facial Massager into the mix then my 'o' my are you in for a treat come morning, I may not have had a full nights sleep or looked like a sleeping beauty with my hair scraped back and my onesie on but my skin sure felt beautiful.
