The Body Shop Beauty Loot

Hello there! 

It's been awhile since I've done a product review. 

I was quite a bit busy and was not able to catch up with the writing. 

Anyhow, here's a quick recap of the products that I discovered recently from The Body Shop. 

1) Seaweed Line 

I heart Seaweed!

I loved this facial scrub.

Actually, I was about to buy the one from a bit pricey brand since I have a love of breakouts and blemishes lately but it so happened that they don't have a stall in the mall that I had recently gone to.

The best option that I have is The Body Shop.

After using this scrub, you will really feel that your face is squeaky clean.

As for the clay mask, I can only say the same thing.

I use it every week and it did help me manage my breakouts.

The price is at QAR 90 to 130 as far as I can remember for each so I can say that it is of midrange price but they also last.

I have these for almost 3 months now so they deserved two thumbs up.

2) Fresh Sorbet Blush  

Blush. Blush. Blush. 

I grabbed these when my friend and I had gone for coffee. 

Priced at QAR 15, these are great finds. 

They are super pigmented and I think it should be used on a freshly moisturized, bare face and not on top of the foundation. 

3) Vitamin E Overnight Serum 

Vitamin E Serum 

This serum is actually a gift from a friend. 

I've tried some oils and serums but so far this one is the best. 

I normally put it before I go to bed and after the first use, I already observed that my skin is more supple and brightened a bit. 

Also, a few drops goes a long way so thumbs up for this one too. 

Do you have any recent beauty finds? 

BB Creams

 

 

Apparently, I am not one of those girls with perfect, luminous skin. 

 

I do have some dark spots, and oh, I've spotted some wrinkles in the making!    Thanks to the BB creams for covering them up.    BB creams gained their popularity in Asia.    Blemish balm/Blemish base are like tinted moisturizers.    I've been using Garnier and Body Shop's BB Creams ever since.    These do not make my skin dry or oily and has the matte finish effect.    I do put moisturizer first - yes,  I have to moisturize a lot as the weather here are extremes, then I put on a pea-size amount of the BB cream before I put on light powder.  This stays up the whole day, can you believe it!  Have you tried one yet?  Share me your story. 

Window Shopping Day

My one week vacation is almost over!

OMG...I think the clock is ticking so fast!
After a few days of resting, just sitting on the couch and relaxing, I had gone to the mall.

Oh, how I miss the malls in the Philippines.
When I was still there, I would stroll in the mall for hours, just walking around, window shopping, checking the shops and all.

Sometimes, I would go alone or with one of my best buds, Wendelle.
How I miss my good friend Jheng who would normally go with me...and we are always bringing her cute baby Julia...

Walking around the mall somehow gives me a relaxing feeling...it gives my mind a break and helps me to keep a clear head.
Yesterday, I booked in a salon to have my hair dyed but the bad thing is the color is not sticking too well on my hair.
Anyways, I got a little shade though.
I was able to get some stuffs and I was so delighted of the treats I got.
First Stop: The Body Shop

They have an offer right now: you can get a free one if you'll get three. Not bad...

And they use reclyclable paper bags!

Second Stop: MAC

I've never bought any make-up or brush from MAC but I've heard lots of good feedbacks.
When the Beauty Advisor there tried the blush on my cheeks, I really love it!

Not too pink or too pale, just the right blush.

I got a matte lipstick too!
She said it would last for hours...

We'll see about that.

Third Stop: Sanrio Boutique

I grabbed a gift for a friend's little girl who's celebrating her birthday today.

I hope she'll like it.
Fourth Stop: Splash

Summer is near and a yellow bag on Splash's window caught my attention.
They do have cheap accessories too and affordable tops in crazy colors.

I grabbed these and thanks to the Gift Cert I had received from Shukkran!

Hmmmm...

I think it's not just window shopping.
Anyways, it's just once in a blue moon.

Body Butter Overload

The Body Shop had a sale about two weeks ago.

Their body butters are on 50% off so I had taken the chance.

I bought some of which I think will last for months already.

What I love about Body Shop’s Body Butters are the scents that they have and the healthy feeling that they leave on the skin.

Since the weather here in Doha are extremes: extremely hot and cold, I have to rely on lotions and creams to keep my skin hydrated.

Have you ever feel the itchiness whenever your skin is soooo dry?

That’s what I am avoiding as when it happens, I have red patches all over my skin that’s why I use body butter (aside from lotions) nowadays.

Body butters are creams that are being applied to the skin to help lock in moisture.

They normally come with shea, mango, cocoa and even coconut.

I got papaya, cranberry and passion fruit from Body Shop.

Aside from keeping the skin moisturized, body butters contain vitamins, have high levels of antioxidants, effectively softens the skin and is way affordable compared to other creams available in the market.

So, let us butter up and kiss dry skin goodbye!
