Body Shop VS Bath & Body Works

Image
So, I am a fan of both Body shop and Bath & Body Works . Today, i would like to do a comparison between these two brands. Mainly, their body lotion/body butter. I love British Rose range and i bought their lotion (the whole range infact). British Rose, lotion was perfect. Smells good and makes you feel so calm and fresh. However, i notice something post one year of getting the body lotion. The smell actually fades off. I mean you spend a bomb and get the huge body lotion and you try to use a very little of it so that it last long and Puff! after a year you notice the rose smell fades away. Well, very disappointing. And i don't remember The Body Shop's sales girl telling me that the duration of the lotion. (I am pretty sure she did not) Totally opposite is Bath & Body Works lotion. Post more than a year and the lotions smells as strong as new. I bought a few body lotions from them almost 2 years ago and i am shocked that it smells as new as i bought the...

Feed your skin: Cucumber and Lemon infused water

Image
It is very important to feed your skin the nutrition it need! Lemon and Cucumber infused water does wonder to your skin. It makes your complexion glow day by day. But you will have to take the infused water on a regular basis. I take it 5 day a week, On working days only as during weekend as usual we are always not at home. and I can't be going to the loo every 10 minutes when i shop. LOL  However, this only can't be the only food your feed your skin. This is just one of them. I have started taking this infused water 3 years ago and until date, i still am. But of course i do feel lazy in between and i skip. Apart from cucumber and Lemon, i also infused a few strands of saffron in them Saffron benefits also when you consume them.  Lemon,Cucumber and Saffrons

Make up #19 [Eyes]: Lakme Eyeconic Kajal In Turquoise

Image
I have previously gotten the lakme range of blue and turquoise but i did not so like it as the colour was not striking out. But this glitter/shimmering range does wonder. So lovely it looks on my skin. It is obviously slightly expensive than the deep black. I bough mine in Lulu Mall, Cochin and i should have gotten the Royal Blue as well. I was so skeptical when i bought it so just went ahead and bought only one colour. I actually wore a turquoise dress to a party recently just to try this eyeliner. LOL. Image not mine I only use the turquoise on my upper lid and black for my lower lid. It actually looks good. I did not look like a clown. LOL. Next round i should try turquoise on my lower lid. The eyeliner did not face or smudge throughout the night. So in love with is turquoise eyeline. A yes for a repurchase!

British Rose #THEBODYSHOP

Image
I have been using British Rose range from Body Shop approximately about 6 months now. I started off with their fresh plumping mask. Initially i was using it everyday once. I normally leave it to set for around 10 minutes and then i wash if off. After minutes of applying, you'll start to feel it penetrating into your skin.  I do feel a difference on my skin. It is fresher and glowing. Now i used it once a week or twice a week. It is very good after a long day at work with all the make up on your skin. It's just the pampering you want after a long day at work and the rosy smell will calm you down. I also have their body butter and hand cream.Honestly these two seems the same for me. The hand cream is in a smaller container hence i got it so it is easy for me to carry it with me all the time. I love the smell of the lotion. Its to rosy and so british-sy. Anyway it is yes for a repurchase for me! Love how it makes me feel! Product: British Rose Fresh Plumping Ma...

Hi Ladies, got this Lakme Lipstick in India. Well, you people should know that I am a Lakme Fanatic by now :-P . Got this from Saravana Store in T Nagar. The sales girl suggested me this with another couple of colours. But this particular one caught my eye. and am in love with this! Can't really recall how much i bought it from India [ I BOUGHT TONS OF MAKE UP STUFF] hence that is why i cannot remember. But the good thing is this is available in Malaysia as well. *dances around* . Only Lakme fanatics will understand the joy. This colour fits perfectly for me and it it long lasting too. After a meal i don't have to touch up. yay! I will definitely repurchase this. Worth the buy :)

Garnier Pure Active Fruit Energy

Bought this new Garnier Face wash with extracts of grapefruit, pomegranate and vitamin c. I normally use my olay facial wash as i use theie face cream as well. But you know sometimes you want to try something different. My olay facial wash was the traditional and old school one. So i saw this new face wash in stores and wanted to try it. To my surprise, i loved it. The smell is so refreshing. and it makes my skin feel so fresh and smooth. It comes in two sizes. But you might self get the bigger one as it is cheaper. You get can them at any guardian or watsons store. It is a yes for a repurchase from my side.

Odeon: Almond and Apricot Body Scrub

Image
Ok, I have seen this brand of body scrubs and shampoos in most of the Indian stores that i walked in to. They were having sales during the Mid Valley Indian Global Fair. So, I grabbed a body scrub and a shampoo. Just to give it a try. The sales girl that attended to me was super friendly and helpful. Forgot her name. Sorry girl. She suggested me this almond and apricot scrub since i have an oily skin. This scrub does wonders to my skin. My skin feels so soft after using this scrub. There's no need to apply lotion after using this scrub. But yeah, you only scrub yourself once a week. Rest of the days, you'll have to apply lotion. LOL. There's so many flavours to suit your skin. This Almond and Apricot does wonder to me. Definitely a yes for a repurchase! However, got a shampoo from this brand as well, Unfortunately, the shampoo did not suit me. It made my hair rough. Probably Should try some shampoo from the same brand.
