Review: The Body Shop Strawberry Body Butter

Ah finally! today i'm writing a review post! \(^0^)/

straight to the point, i'm gonna talk about my long-lived body butter XD This is a strawberry body butter, i bought it from The Body Shop loooong time ago and there's still a half tub of it o.O i don't use it everyday, maybe just every two or three days or when i remember to put it on, so no wonder there's still lots of it ;)

What they say: body moisturiser for normal skin

Ingredients: Aqua, Butyrospermum arkii (Shea Butter), Cyclomethicone, Glycerin, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Butter, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Lanolin Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Xanthan Gum, Fragaria Chiloensis (Strawberry) seed oil, Fragaria Ananassa (strawberry) seed oil, Tocopherol, Benzyl Alcohol, Disodium EDTA, Limonene, Sodium Hydroxide, Cinnamal, Rosemary (Rosmarinus Officialis) Leaf Extract, Linalool, Citral, Caramel, Red 4.

look, it's still the old tub

still a half tub

It comes with a tub D: i wish they had more ideas to put it in anything except the tub. And i scoop it using my own hand after a bath hahahaha (ew)! The strawberry smell is really strong. It smells fake at first but grows better and sweeter after you finish putting it on.

when i put it on my hand

blend blend blend

it's transparent when i blend it, and a little bit of shiny/glowy effect. it's a bit slippery when i put it on, and when i wash my hands. and it's kinda sticky too. But it's ok it will be good when it's already absorbed in the skin. It  moisturises my skin, it makes my dry elbow feels smooth and supple. I have normal skin (body) so i don't know if it works for those with dry skin or not. But it works on me.

Conclusion:

 Pros:

-smells good

-it moisturises my skin

-200 ml lasts forever (at least for me)

Cons:

-it's in a tub

-kinda slippery and sticky

-parabens! D:

I love it, i really love it <3 but as we all know The Body Shop has huge collection of nice body butter and of course i need to try each of them! So i think i'll purchase different scent after i finish this one :)

Filling The Empty Space

Sorry it's not a review hehe :D
recently i was feeling that the wall above my bed was too empty, so i decided to put some stuffs on it.
i glued fabrics on top of styrofoams and it's done! :D

tadaaah!

the cutting is a bit uneven lol XD so now i'm planning to use them as notice boards, to remind me of tasks and other stuffs i might forget ;)

Orange Nails!

Well as you can see from the title, i was kinda having some free time last weekend so i did my nails a little. i'm too shy to wear it to campus >.<

Paty (?)

my right hand. it's a bit messy bcs i'm right handed

my left hand. looks better ;)

I have never had any matte nail polish, so i'm planning to try it later :D any suggestion?

Review: The Body Shop Aloe Soothing Night Cream

Oh hai again :D good news as usual, this is a review :D

i was hoping to do a review about various brands of products but i'm just too addicted to The Body Shop OTL

So today i'm gonna talk about a night cream from Aloe vera line from The Body Shop. I decided to buy it because it's for sensitive skin so it must be safe for other skin types too.

What they say: This rich, dermatologically tested night cream hydrates skin that needs more gentle care.

•     Moisturises
•     Fragrance, colour and alcohol-free
•     No added preservatives

Ingredients: Aloe Barbadensis, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Butylene Glycol, Elaeis guineensis, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Myristyl Myristate, Octyldodecanol, Sesamum indicum, Squalene, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Butyrospermum parkii, Aqua, Panthenol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Xanthan Gum, Bisabolol, Avena sativa

This cream comes in a tub with a lid on top of the product. I usually just dip my finger in it after washing my face at night haha. It's a cream with slightly thick consistency, almost like a butter. It's also fragrance free. It's good but it feels like i can smell my own scent all over my face after applying it :p it's just funny XD

on my hand

Its absorbs quite quickly and doesn't make my face oily if applied at proper amount. I sometimes put too much amount of it and my face looks slippery but it's just a matter of looks. It gives a slight cooling or calming feel on my face. I let it sit all night and the morning after it looks good. My face looks better than when i don't have it applied. It shines more and my face feels smoother and softer. It doesn't really brighten my face tho. It just shines. And it doesn't break me out, which is the number one problem of oily skin (y)

bonus my face after slapping the cream on it

It's good but i think it's too weak (?) for my thick and harsh skin haha XD i haven't notice any significant improvement after i use it every night. It improves my skin if i use it but my skin goes back to its tired self if i don't use it.

Conclusion:

Pros:

-kinda calm my raging face

-hydrates my face

-no fragrance. good for sensitive skin

-absorbs quite well

-doesn't break me out

-makes my skin better

-no parabens

Cons:

-comes in a tub

-too weak (haha XD)

I like this but i'm looking for stronger night cream :D I might finish this first tho before looking for other cream. any suggestion?

Review: The Body Shop Shea Lip Butter

So as usual it'a a review post (yay!)

straight to the topic, today i'm gonna review TBS shea lip butter

i forgot to check the ingredients before i gave it to my brother, so go find it yourself ;) *sorry*

on my lips

As you can see it's a butter in a tub (you don't say?) just like any other lip butter products from The Body Shop. It's shea lip butter so it smells like nut, but my nose notices a hint of coconut smell (?) is it because coconut is 'coco' 'nut'? *ignore this*

And yes, you need to dip your finger to get the product (ew) or at least use a cotton bud to pick it. Don't worry that the cotton bu will absorb most of the product, because this butter lasts forever. Like, forever. It lasts forever that i get too bored with it and want to try other scent so i gave it to my brother just a while ago.

It's a butter so it is expected to work better than balms or creams or gels. And it does. It's the longest staying lip care among the products i've tried, although the smell doesn't really stay long. It's also the most hydrating lip care among all the products i've tried. It's transparent but it gives a shine to my lips. And it gives slight whitish color if i accidentally put it too much.

I just hope it runs out quickly so i don't feel like it's a waste to buy this at that price with this huge amount of butter hehe ^^

Conclusion:

Pros:

-works better than other types of lip care

-stays longer than other types of lip care

-it's scented. at least my nose smells something pleasant

Cons:

-comes with a tub. ew.

-took forever to finish OTL

so i might repurchase this, but i would like to try other scents~

Review: The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream

Hi! *waves* it's a queue post actually ;) just in case i don't have time to write a review in this coming weeks ;) so fortunately this is a review post :D

We all know that the Vitamin E range is kinda famous at The Body Shop, so i'm gonna review this vitamin E moisture cream. Although my skin is oily combination, it still gets flaky during cold weather so i need ultra hydration for my skin plus luckily i got this cream for free ;)

What they claim: Our bestselling daily moisturiser hydrates skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.

• Hydrates and protects
• Light and easily absorbed
• Leaves skin soft and healthy-looking

Ingredients: Aqua, Isopropyl Palmitate, Sorbitol, Lanolin, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Esters, Steareth-2, PEG-100 Stearate, Ceresin, Triethanolamine, Tocopheryl Acetate, Steareth-20, Carbomer, Methylparaben, Parfum, Benzyl Benzoate, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Hydroxycitronellal, Isobutylparaben, Propylparaben, Limonene, Geraniol, Linalool, Citronellol, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, CI 14700.

It's a cream with medium consistency

on my hand

It comes with a tub, so i need to be careful with my fingers to keep it clean. It doesn't have SPF in it but who cares, i don't really work outside. I mostly study inside rooms with air conditioner so this is a must wear for me especially during cold weather.

It smells just like any other vitamin E range, and it moisturizes my oily skin enough for a day. I only need to apply a little for each application and the dry patches all disappear and i don't feel any oily feeling on my face :D
I got it in mini size (15 ml) but it looks like it might last forever :o

Conclusion:

Pros:

-it hydrates my skin

-a little goes a long way

-doesn't break me out
-absorbs quite well

Cons:
-comes in a tub
-parabens!~ >.<

I like it, i really like it, but the parabens in it just turn me off... i think i need to try other moisturizer after i finish this one.
