Years ago I was introduced to The Body Shop's Vitamin E range. I forget how, but I think someone bought me a gift set when I was in my late teens. I absolutely adored the products; they were effective, kind to my skin, soft smelling, left me feeling great and attractive, and my then-boyfriend couldn't understand how my hands were so soft all the time (Vitamin E hand cream, of course!). But as this must have been in my student years I couldn't afford a regular indulgence of the Vitamin E range so in time I moved on to other products and for some daft reason only sporadically indulged in these favourites - the odd lip balm here or there, mostly because I have ...  Read the complete review

The very first Body Shop opened in Brighton on 26 March 1976. They now have over 2,500 stores worldwide. It is billed as 'The original, natural and ethical beauty brand'. The five core Values of The Body Shop are as follows: Support Community Fair Trade, Defend Human Rights, Against Animal Testing, Activate Self-Esteem, and Protect Our Planet. You would be hard pressed not to fin a Body Shop store on your local high street! The range of products is huge, with different scented moisturisers, perfumes, body spray and hand creams made such as Aloe, Tea Tree, Coconut and Seaweed. I do love going into The Body Shop and trying out all their products. There are ...  Read the complete review

During my yearly splurge in The Body Shop (if I did it more than once a year I'd have no rent money and would have to drop out of uni), I stocked up on products for myself and my Mum. As I got to the till, the cashier informed me "Woaah you haven't spent enough, come on spent £1.25 more and we'll give you a FREE body butter, come on it's vitamin E and it's lovely!" - well, it would have been rude not to. Normally this product (200ml) would set you back £12.50, so it wasn't a bad deal at all. The Vitamin E range in The Body Shop comes in pale pink packaging so it's easy to spot. I am familiar with this range, as I bought some of the handcream last ...  Read the complete review

This is yet another of my Body Shop products collection! I have been using this particular body butter on and off for several years now, and I usually try to get tubs when there is an offer on. My latest tub was actually a "freebie" for spending over £25 in a single transaction at the Body Shop, but they usually retail for £12.50 for a 200ml size tub. Although this is definitely on the high end of what I tend to pay for such things, I do fins it worth it as it lasts a pretty long time even with all over daily usage (I would say a good 6 weeks if not more), and is a very good quality product. The packaging isn't particularly exciting, but it ...  Read the complete review

If you have read some of my previous reviews you will be aware that I own rather too many toiletries and have made a vow not to purchase anything new until they have all been used. Consequently, the last six months or so has seen me trying out many new brands, as I received a host of products for my birthday last year and again at Christmas. A range of products that I find very favourable are those belonging to The Body Shop and this review discusses my experience with using their Vitamin E Body Butter. APPEARANCE OF THE PRODUCT The butter is contained within a sturdy light pink coloured plastic tub with a screw top lid and it has been ...  Read the complete review
