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?

The Tale of how Shea Butter Ultra Rich Body Cream helped Lizard-Gal become Human again

March 2, 2015 Paris B 28 Comments

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a girl who, through neglect and the evil spell of “laziness”, found herself slowly morphing into a lizard.

It started at the furthest of her extremities, with the skin on her toes first drying out and flaking. But did she pay attention? Oh no! (If she had right then, there wouldn’t be a story to tell would there?)

The evil spell and gentle morph from human to scaly reptile slowly crept up the feet and legs, turning once smooth, soft skin into dry, hard, scales. Skin was stretched and shiny and lined through neglect. Things came to a head one day, when lizard-gal discovered a very dry and itchy patch of skin on her shin.

Thinking it was mere skin irritation or a bug bite, she gave it no mind, but scratch she did. Until one day, she looked down (finally!) and noticed the scales and the red, angry, bumpy, itchy, irritated patch of skin on her legs.

Panicking, she turned to Dr. Google, which told her it could be anything from psoriasis to cancer (Isn’t Dr. Google a consolation?) But more digging prompted a different diagnosis. It might just be skin that was too dry, which had cracked and allowed itself to be infected.

So Lizard-gal started oiling herself up like a salad daily, yet it didn’t stop the slow encroachment of scaly skin. Until one evening, her eye fell on an old gift which had been sitting on her bedside table for the longest time.

Now, the problem with Lizard-gal is that she hated using body lotions and body creams. Living in the tropics as she did, body creams and lotions tended to be sticky and to leave a greasy, oily film on the skin that could be very uncomfortable, especially on warm nights.

It didn’t help that the salve was called the L’Occitane Ultra Rich Body Cream Rich in Shea Butter, which conjured up images of butter on toast, and a sticky date pudding.

But desperate times called for desperate measures, if Lizard-gal was to stop the onslaught of the scales.

New! L’Occitane Almond Body Collection gets an upgraded formula and new slimming care

May 16, 2014 Paris B 30 Comments

I’m not crazy about almonds if I’m to be perfectly honest. I don’t like that Asian favourite of Almond Jelly desserts (I’m not alone am I? 😛 ) and I don’t like the scent of almonds. But there’s one almond product I like and that’s the L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil. Mmm… Pity I’ve run out for now 🙁

As it turns out, L’Occitane is huge on almonds as their almond body collection shows. They’ve always been popular for their almond body creams and lotions which boast skin softening, moisturising, firming and toning effects. I’m told by friends that they swear by the Almond Supple Skin Oil and Almond Milk Concentrate when pregnant to prevent stretch marks.

Personally, I haven’t tried most of the Almond Collection from L’Occitane so it was interesting to get to know what’s new and upcoming from the collection in the coming months.

If you are a user of the Almond Collection products, you may be interested to know of what’s new and what’s upcoming and you could also tell me what you like from the range 😀

Your Say: What beauty products don’t you care for?

February 25, 2014 Paris B 78 Comments

Hello beauty buffs!

Well, you must be a beauty buff, since you’re reading this blog that’s mostly about beauty, right? 😀 I am a self-confessed beauty buff and I love all these little pampering things we have and use for our skins – makeup, skincare, shower gels…

Yet, there are some products I don’t really care for.

hair nail hand lotions

As I’m sure you do too!

For me, some of these are just products I don’t use, or aspects of personal beauty that do not attract me at all. For others, I’m just not fussed about them.

What are yours? 🙂
