The Sanctuary Body Butter

- General - The very name and the association with Covent Garden, made me think that these products would be excessively expensive and a bit of a luxury that I would never treat myself to. How then do I have this product? I received this as part of a 'Bath by Candlelight' boxed gift set. - Other products - There is an abundance of products from the Spa Essentials range but I have listed just a few below: * Soothing bath milk * Foaming bath soak * Body milk spray * Body moisture spray * Body spritz * Sugar bath cubes * Bath relaxer The Sanctuary also have a range of body ...  Read the complete review

The Sanctuary Body Butter. The Sanctuary began as a Spa in Covent Garden over 30 years ago. Their philosophy is all about providing the time, space and expertise for women to renew that glow. I've never been to the Spa but friends have been and they do say that it is a wonderful experience and definitely a very upmarket product. The Sanctuary beauty products were produced in 1998. Customers had been wanting to take the spa experience home with them without needing a therapist or special equipment so they came up with the idea of selling their products. Apparently they are only sold exclusively at Boots and of course you can buy them in the spa's ...  Read the complete review

After recently decorating my bathroom and choosing my new colour scheme (White and brown) I decided a little splash of colour was needed, orange was the perfect colour and after remembering that I had been given a Sanctuary set as a christmas present but had left it sat in a draw, what better than to sit ionmy new glass shelf....what I didn't realise was the little hidden gem hidden inside the Sanctuary box, the body butter. I thought i had emptyed the box but was shocked to find it inside, so I gave it a go..... The Sancturys body butter comes in a round tub, white base and orange lid. The tub I have is 300ml in size but you can get smaller travel sized ones. ...  Read the complete review

If you've read any of my other skincare reviews you might have picked up on the fact that I'm exceptionally lazy in this regard. I'm blessed with pretty well-behaved skin most of the time, and so I do admit I tend to ignore all but the skin on my face when it comes to moisturising. But with summer here at last and lots of holidays coming up (lucky me!), the epilator has been fired up* and I'm starting to think about moisturising those lovely smooth pins of mine. (Okay, they might not be that lovely, but smooth they are!) Fortunately for me, it was my birthday last week and a very nice friend gave me a bag of Sanctuary products. The body butter I'm ...  Read the complete review

A while back I got a set of four little body butters from the Sanctuary free with a purchase, one of which was the Sanctuary Spa body butter. I have used quite a few products from the Sanctuary's Spa range (or 'orange' range as I refer to it), and I've had really good experiences with the majority of them, so I instinctively picked this one to try first before the others. The body butter comes in a round white pot with an orange screw top lid. Personally I prefer body lotions that come in tubes, as unfortunately when you have to scoop the cream out of the pot, it tends to get underneath the nails, which is a bit of a pain! The first thing you notice ...  Read the complete review
