Orange I glad The Body Shop Carrot Cream is back on shelves?

Seeing The Body Shop Carrot Cream brought back a flood of memories. When I was studying in the UK, oh years and years ago, I picked up most of my very basic skincare at The Body Shop. It was fairly affordable, even for a student.

My mainstay back then was the Vitamin E cream. It was light and comfortable for my skin. But when winter came around and the heating came on, I remember my skin feeling tight and dry. I wandered in one day to the nearest Body Shop store (conveniently located just around the corner from my student residence), and exiting with a jar of orange Carrot Cream.

The Carrot Cream was recommended to me then, as a heavier alternative for a moisturizer, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

So, when I saw the new The Body Shop Carrot Cream, I came over all nostalgic

Sheet masks are still having their day in the sun and if anything, I see them becoming even more mainstream and popular. What’s there not to love? They’re convenient, and you notice immediate results. Everything anyone wants in a skincare product.

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: The Body Shop 100% Natural Shea Butter for all your moisture and DIY skincare needs

Those of you who have a more creative, experimental nature might be pleased to know that you can now get 100% Natural Shea Butter that comes from a fair-trade, reputable source. Just head on down to The Body Shop!

While The Body Shop has always had a shea butter range of products (I used to use their Shea Butter Body Butters for chronically dry skin – Dad swore by it for cracked heels!) I believe it’s the first time that we’re getting shea butter in its pure form.

So, what can you do with it?

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

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?
