My Top 5 Body Shop Products | B E A U T Y

                                   

If you follow me on social media you will know that I have been a Body Shop at Home Consultant since the end of April this year. This means that I earn money from promoting and selling products from the Body Shop all from the comfort of my own home! 

I will be doing a post all about my job with the Body Shop and how you can also get involved, however today I am talking about my Top 5 Products out of the many that I have tried from The Body Shop (trust when I say I have tried ALOT).

                                 

First on my list is the Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask. This mask aims to draw out impurities and excess oils from the skin as well as exfoliating the skin to leave a clean and fresh glow. This mask also contains tea tree oil which is perfect if you suffer from breakouts and the charcoal helps to clear clogged pores.

I got this mask in my starter kit when I started at the Body Shop at Home and I have been through 3 of them. I use this mask twice a week and I can't be without it. It reduces the appearance of pores and keeps my skin clear whilst also giving it a lovely glow. It has been so handy with combatting maskne in recent months and my makeup applies so smoothly over the top.

If you have oily skin and suffer from impurities then this is the mask for you, it has absolutely saved my skin over the past few months. This mask is £18 RRP but if purchased through me is just £16.00!

                                    

Next up are the Liquid Peels which are essentially exfoliants but they are much more gentle than your traditional scrub exfoliant. These are much better if you have sensitive skin and I find that they are much more effective than a scrub. The Gel to peel formula when massaged into dry skin lifts away dead skin cells, dirt and impurities and bunches them up into little balls you can just wipe straight off. They make your skin feel so soft and supple and leave an amazing smooth glow.

They come in 3 of our ranges so you can always fine one to suit your skin:

- Drops of Youth - infused with 3 plant stem cells to help combat and prevent signs of ageing. Amazing for tired and dry skin.

- Vitamin C - to help provide dull skin with a healthy radiant glow.

- Drops of Light - helps to brighten and reduce discolouration.

These come in 2 sizes, 145 ml which is RRP £18.50 but is £16.65 with me and the 100 ml which is RRP £16.00 and is £14.40 with me.

This is a must have product for everyone and if you don't already have one then you absolutely need one!

                                       

Moving onto makeup, I have been pleasantly surprised by the eyeshadow palettes that the Body Shop has to offer! I got these for free as a perk of being a consultant and if you have read my blog for a while you will know I love my high end eyeshadow palettes and I am very picky with formulas.

These shadows are absolutely amazing and I haven't touched another palette since I got them. They're easy to build and blend and the pigmentation is insane. I have some pictures of the swatches and also some looks I have done on my Instagram and I have also done lots of videos using them in my Facebook Group.

There are 3 palettes available:

- 'Own your Naturals' - 12 neutral shades

- 'Paint in Colour' - 12 shades with a mix of neutrals and brights

- 'Bold as Nature' - 12 seasonal limited edition shades

These palettes retail for £15.00 each but they are just £13.50 with me. A steal, right?


                                  

                                  

This product is THE best product from the Body Shop hands down! The Camomile Cleansing Butter is an absolute makeup destroyer and is perfect for all skin types, even sensitive. Ditch the makeup wipes and get yourself one of these because I promise you will become obsessed. This melts away even the toughest of makeup and impurities and leaves your skin squeaky clean. It also works for contact lens wearers!

Just massage a 50p piece sized blob into dry skin and massage in and your makeup will wipe straight off! I will forever swear by this stuff and I go through them one after the other!

These come in 2 sizes, a 90ml which retails for £11.00 and a 20ml travel size which retails for £5.00. Both of them are 10% off when ordered through me.

                                     

Last but not least we have the Camomile Gentle Eye Makeup Remover. I got this in my starter kit when I started and I didn't really think I would enjoy it. As someone who wears very stubborn waterproof mascara, the word 'gentle' in the title does not seem like it is going to shift anything!

I was so pleasantly surprised by this, in one sweep it gets rid of every last trace of eye makeup. I have eyelash extensions 90% of the time too so this is perfect at getting around them without ruining my lashes which I can't do with the cleansing butter.

This retails for £7.50 but is of course discounted through me for just £6.75.

That concludes my top 5 and if you would like to purchase any of the products mentioned or you would like a catalogue, please let me know! You can join my facebook group here and follow my body shop instagram page here.

FEMME LUXE LOUNGEWEAR* | F A S H I O N

So it's been a little while since I posted anything on here (December 2018 to be exact) but what else is there to do when in quarantine?! I've resurrected the blog for a little while to keep myself busy during evenings and weekends when I'm not working in my day job or my other new exciting adventure.

I'm bringing it back with something that everyone is going mad over at the moment for obvious reasons - loungewear. Femme Luxe were kind enough to gift me some pieces from their loungewear collection to try and I can confirm I have literally lived in these since they were delivered a few weeks ago.

This one above is the Harlee Tulle Mesh Cream Loungewear Set. This one is so boujie I love it, it's loungewear but it looks so dressed up as well. This one is made from a very thin knit and I definitely think you could wear the top with some leather leggings to dress it up because it looks so smart. The only thing I would say with this set is that the leggings are a little see-through so I probably wouldn't wear them out of the house but this one is perfect for lazing around in and also perfect for the gram. You can also get this set in black if that's more your style.

This set is Asia Ribbed Belted Loungewear Set in the colour 'Sage'. I already had this set but in black and I can confirm I have lived and died in it so when I saw that they had it in loads of other colours I knew I needed. I chose this colour as I have a bag very similar to it from Primark and I have been trying to get an outfit to match for ages. This will forever be one of my favourite sets from Femme Luxe, it's so comfy and so flattering and there is a colour to suit everyones taste! I get so many compliments on this set (even though Lewis says I look like Yoda). If you are going to get one set from this post, then this is the one you need. I put a pic on my insta story a few weeks back and 4 people messaged me asking for the link!

Finally we have the Ella Dusky Pink High Neck Set which is quite thick and knitted and perfect for the winter time. I absolutely love anything pink and a pink set was the one thing that was lacking from my loungewear collection. I have to say that this one is great if you have a very cold house because I know that when I am working from home I am literally freezing all day long regardless of the outside temperature. This set with my fluffy slippers is the absolute dream. This one fits really nicely and is also nice and stretchy if you're a bit chunkier (like me). There is plenty of room in this for some excessive quarantine snacking.

I have literally worn these constantly on rotation for the past few weeks and I will happily be purchasing some more (especially Asia in every single colour) over the course of the lockdown.

If you have any other loungewear recommendations then please let me know because I always need more especially with everything going on at the moment.
