Beauty hors d’oeuvres: The Body Shop Vanilla Pumpkin Body Butter is a decadent dessert without the calories!

October 31, 2018 Paris B Leave a Comment

Hello peeps! I usually fall off the face of the earth for a little longer than this but a lot’s been happening out there, so I figured it was time I made my reappearance like that proverbial bad penny! LOL! And just in time for Autumn, Halloween and all the pumpkin spice flavours that abound is The Body Shop Vanilla Pumpkin Body Butter.

The Vanilla Pumpkin scent isn’t new, it was introduced last year, 2017, I believe. But it makes its appearance at this time of year in a brand new limited edition packaging, that is at once not only autumnal, but Halloween appropriate 😀

Does pumpkin mania grab you each year come Fall/Autumn?

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: The Body Shop Body Yogurt is a moisturising treat for any time of the day

April 26, 2018 Paris B 4 Comments

Back with a new installment of the MWS Beauty hors d’oeuvres! These will be short and snappy updates (I try!) of new and upcoming releases, when they’re available, how much they’ll cost or interesting events. It won’t be very detailed, as my usual reviews are, but it will, I hope, serve its function as a quick update of interesting beauty bits for those of you who might be interested in new things.

I’ll update them as and when I can, and you can find them in the side-bar of the blog. I won’t be putting them in the main body, so it’s not too cluttered. I hope you find them enjoyable or helpful!

A few days ago, The Body Shop launched the brand new Body Yogurt. I was very intrigued. The Body Shop was, I believe, the first, or one of the first few companies to release a product called “body butter”. Today, that is synonymous with a thick body cream for dry skin.

Now, there is Body Yogurt!

Tip: Enjoy a luxury perfume for less by using the body wash and bring a little luxury into your everyday

This is a little tip I stumbled upon rather by accident quite a few years ago. It was helpful for me, and I reckoned some of you might benefit from it too because it’s a bit of a money saver as well!

It goes like this.

You know how expensive perfumes can be? Yeah, I saw you wince. Many of us would like to own that Jo Malone, or Diptyque, or Dior, or Chanel fragrance, but find it hard to part with so much money up front. Or perhaps you aren’t sure if it’s a scent you’d love after you spring so much money on it.

Here’s my tip for you.

Buy the shower gel or body wash. “But isn’t that terribly decadent?” I hear you say. Yes, it is. But there’s a method to my madness 😛 Hear me out!

8 Things I’m really enjoying using that I think you will love too – Just in time for ‘ang pow’ spending!

I am going to be trite and say this “I cannot believe that we are halfway through February 2018!” Is it me, or is 2018 flying by a little too quickly for comfort? Slow down! I want to cry. And I guess I will have some time to slow down soon, with the Lunar New Year festivities upon us.

This year, the barking Dog chases the Rooster out of our home, and I will be taking a few days off, as I do at this time of year, to celebrate the festivities and spend time at home with the family. Incidentally, if you want to stay in touch with blog posts, you can sign up here for a weekly email that goes out with a compilation of that week’s blog posts, so you don’t have to miss out on any future posts!

But before I leave you for the festivities, I wanted to quickly share some things I’ve been loving, that I think you might love too! Or at least, some things you can save your ang pow money for 😀 I’ve made sure that they’re (mostly) permanent products because I despise the limited edition push to buy NOW, as much as anyone else.

There are a couple of items that I may elaborate on in future review (holler, if there is one you want to see in greater depth!) but I wanted to make sure I told you about these things, some of which I’ve been using for months now, and thoroughly loving to bits! 😀
