Hi girls!
The Body Shop are running a the summer sale along a 35% off discount on everything, including sale ( use code 14669 in store or online). There have been codes for 30% or 40% off earlier in June and July, and each time I've been going to the shop to pick up some thing, so I have bought a few things which I think make for a good bargain, and I'll share with you what I recommend you buy in the sale. I think this time the discount code also marks the end of the summer sales, so hurry up and grab a bargain! For some reason, some things are better in store, eg : the Sweet Lemon range is discounted in my local store, but not online. Also some of the sales items I cannot find online, but have seen in store, so definitely worth a look before ordering, even though minimum spend for free delivery is only £5 so that's a great offer!
One of the things I was most excited about is this hair care kit - Rainforest Moisture Haircare Kit. I've been reading on the supposed benefits of using silicone free shampoo and conditioners, so I thought that buying travel size of a complete hair care routine would be a great way to try this out. The kit costs just £4 and with the discount codes it comes pretty cheap, I got mine for only £2.40. It has a 60ml Rainforest Moisture Shampoo & a 60 ml Conditioner, one pot of the Rainforest Moisture Hair Butter 50ml and a plastic detangling comb, which I use in the shower after applying conditioner or masks, to detangle. Having used this for a while, I quite like it, especially the hair mask and I would buy this again.The conditioner though is very thick and hard to get out of the bottle, thus the very damaged bottle even though it's not even half empty.
Personally I have always associated The Body Shop with their body butters, but at £13 each it can be quite steep. The current sale has selected body butters for £5, in store you will find ones like Papaya, Raspberry, Passion Fruit, Sweet Pea Duo, Sweet Lemon while online you can get some of the rare ones, such as Calm Body Butter, Maroccan Rose, Japanese Cherry Blossom or Midnight Bakula. In the picture just above I picked up a ready-wrapped Raspberry set from the store, as a gift for a friend, along a Sweet Lemon soap reduced to £1 and a Sweet Lemon Lip Butter reduced to £2, and I got the 40% off on top of all that.
For myself, I picked up a Passion Fruit Body Butter, which I think smells amazing! Later on I went and bought a Coconut Shower Cream and a Passion Fruit shower gel, which I hope is better than it looks, this dark blueish colour isn't too appealing, is it? As I have about five shower gels currently in my bathroom, and I am using another body butter ( the Candied Ginger, very yum! ) this lot is going to the back of my cupboard until later on, trying to be reasonable hehe.
I have bought this Cucumber Cleansing Milk in the January sales, but have seen it in the shops this time round as well, for only £2. I love mine a lot, I still have about one fifth left and I would have bought another bottle if I wouldn't have my Sanctuary Hot Cloth Cleanser waiting for me in the cupboard.
This is very effective for removing makeup on both face and eyes and it's gentle enough for my sensitive skin - I use acne cream treatments all the time so my skin is always sensitive.
