During my latest trip to the UK, I visited the Body Shop, and although we have the Body Shop in Ireland, it is nothing like the quality of the stores in the UK. In Ireland, I don't often visit the Body Shop as I find it over priced and can never find anything I like, yet in the UK I fell in love with everything in the shop. They have a much more extensive range and much better prices, I'm not sure why, maybe I'm just confused with different currencies.
The first product I've been trialing for the past week is the Pink Grapefruit hand cream. Now I'm not a hand cream person as my hands don't get very dry, except occasionally in winter, but the scent of this hand cream changed my mind completely. Obviously, it smells like pink grapefruit, I guess I didn't realise how much I appreciated the scent, so sweet and vibrant. As a cream itself, it's super quick to absorb and isn't sticky, the only downside is the fact it doesn't keep its scent as long as I'd like it to.
The other product I've been loving is the matte lip liquid in the shade Taipei Orchid. I've heard a lot of great things about this product before purchasing an I've been wanting to try it for a while. The shades I wanted weren't in stock, which were less pink toned than this shade, but I decided to try this one anyway. It's a really soft, baby pink and I don't think it complements my pale skin tone too much, but I still quite like it. Texture wise, it applies smoothly and dries quick enough, and lasts a considerable amount of time, my favourite part is that it doesn't dry out my lips at all, and I can't wait to try more shades.

My favourite thing about the Body Shop is that they are 100% vegetarian and are cruelty free, and they're definitely a brand I need to shop in more often.
Has anyone else got any Body Shop products that they love?
