The Originals Collectionis a fruity line-up of cleansers and moisturizers for face and body, and hair products. Beauty bloggers were invited to an 80’s inpired event last Friday to check out their new line. They even had oh-so-yummy White Hat yogurt!
I have to admit that I rarely use skin products. I’m a soap+water girl! I only use skin products (i.e. shower gels, lotions) when: 1. we run out of our usual soap, 2. I feel like using them (because we’re about to throw them out). I once tried a Body Shop’s Olive Shower Gel (got it as a gift from my former student) and it works really well. If only I got a habit of using it every day. I still have a lot left!
Now back to the launch. We were asked to test their products and choose a favorite. I was torn between Green Apple Bath and Shower Gel and Cucumber Freshening Water - I love the mild scent! I also love the scent of Ice Blue Shampoo and Dewberry Body Lotion. I ended up voting for Green Apple. In the end, Banna Banape was chosen as the crowd favorite.
Green Apple Bath and Shower Gel
I tried this product over the weekend and I love it! My skin felt extra smooth and silky. I also love the mild scent of green apples on my skin. I don’t think I’ll go back to my usual soap for a while.
The Body Shop also relaunched their body butters. We took a quick whiff of the product and I love the fruity ones (Satsuma really smells like oranges). They’re on sale from January 8 to January 28, 2010, from P695 to P495!
Shea Body Butter (for Ver Dry Skin)
I haven’t tried this one yet. I’ve never used body butter before and I’m not really fond of the smell. It should do wonders on my dry skin though I’m really happy with the Green Apple gel alone. I might as well give it a try, or ask my Mom to try this product. She loves lotions, so I guess she’ll like this one.
