Body Shop full treatment set with Karite Butter

The holidays season is always a reason to celebrate and to receive and give beautiful presents. It is an occasion to show yourself and the others how much you cherish and appreciate their presence into your life. Sometimes it is hard to find the right present, or it is just not enough, therefore, the Body Shop present gifts are always a good solution, because, especially for people so careful with their body and skin care, you can have a full range of products that make your pampering almost complete.

Someone who knows me and loves me brought me a very inspired package: the full range of Karite Butter products: from soap to body scrubbing, shower gel and cream, plus a jolly yellowish sponge. The box looks elegant, in colours matching the products and that you can later use for organising either your cosmetics or your love letters - or whatever letters you want to organise.

The products themselves are very efficient and after intensively using them for a couple of days, I may say I am very happy with them. The skin is not only smooth and getting a mild discrete natural scent, but it is more hydrated, a treatment so much needed regardless the season, but particularly in the winter when the skin is over covered by clothes and cannot breath properly. This happens because Karite Butter is a superior moisturizer, that also is attributed various healing properties. One more reason to use intensively those products this season and to make myself feel better and better in my skin every day!

What about you, what are your favourite Body Shop products of the season?

Beauty purchases from the Body Shop

There are a couple of skin care and beauty products I always purchase from Body Shop, mostly green-tea based but also some Vitamin D face spray - to be reviewed in a later post. However, I haven't tried too often their make up products. Celebrating the summer, I made myself a little different present: the smoky blue eye definer and the eye palette groowing gold.

I always loved the eye definer, but I mostly used the black one. This blue is decent, from the dark ultramarine family. It is very light - 1 gram only - and is provided also at the other end with a correction pencil. In the last month, I used it frequently, with good and stable results. After half of a busy day, the eye liner did not smashed and looks as fresh as it was in the morning. It also has the advantage that can be easily adapted to various circumstances, from casual to dating and evening glamour. 

Very often, I am using the pencil together with the eye palette colour choices. A good match and, for my makeup needs, a very fine combination. The colours are on the list of favourite in clothes too, but go well also with yellow or just black outfits. As in the case of the pencil, it is pretty adaptable and it lasts long. It brings a touch of discretion and elegance to the outfit and allowed me more than once to focus the weight of my look on the eyes. The box is provided with an eye colour brush which works very efficiently. Another advantage is that on the back of the box it offers a sample of makeup. To be honest, I've found the idea of applying the gold-yellow one at the corner of the eye as a very inspired one, as it gives width to the eye, especially if you have the almond shaped type as I do. 

In conclusion, both products were a good and long-time investment.
