The Body Shop: Lip Glosses and Eau de Toilettes

New goodies are out at The Body Shop! 

They're colourful and smell so yummy!

I'm a huge fan of body butters so I'm extremely excited that I can now spritz on my fave scent.

Simply spritz on your pulse points for a targeted burst of light and wearable scent($14 each).

Eight fragrances:

• Strawberry
• Moringa
• Coconut
• Mango
• Shea
• Satsuma
• Pink Grapefruit
• Vanilla

Satsuma is my favourite scent right now! Smells like a zingy sweet orange.
Before I go to work I spray it on my shirt and I swear eight hours after I still smell it.

There are 11 super-glossy, mouth-watering shades to choose from, each with a succulent fruity flavour to lift your mood.

Your lips are left moisturized smooth and kissably soft thanks to our new formula enriched with vitamins E and B5 and Community Fair Trade organic virgin coconut oil. Perfect for a dewy spring look!  ($10 each)

I love having a gloss that smells true to it's scent. 

As you can see above some of the glosses have a slight shimmer and some are just a gloss.
