5 Personal Favorites from The Body Shop

Swathy · May 18, 2018 · 6 Comments

the body shop

I remember the first time I came across The Body Shop products, I found the brand too expensive (that was in 2011). I did my first haul then and after that I did not revisit the brand till they launches Oils of Life. Since then, and more so because my father discovered the body shop body butters, I have become a pretty regular customer of the brand. Okay, yes, their body butters are definitely worth a try but I did like a few others as well. So, check out my favorites from the brand.

The Body Shop Wooden Detangling Comb (review)

This has been a favorite of mine since my first haul though I got another set of combs from a different brand which I am liking even more. If you have not been using a wooden comb, you have to give it a try and see the difference for yourself. The only problem is that you have to dry it off immediately after washing it or the water makes the wood bloated and brittle. Also, be careful not to drop it as it can break. In the last seven years (since 2011 February), I think I got three combs but if you are careful they are long lasting.

The Body Shop Cactus Brush (review)

Another favorite but I use this as a dry brush. I have had one since last seven years and I try to use it religiously. You have to make dry brushing your routine, if you have not yet tried it out. It helps your lose weight, makes your skin more softer and gets rid of the dry and itchy patches. There would be other brushes in the market which are a lot less expensive but I still like this one for its bristles. They are hard and give a good brushing to the body and wakes it up like nothing else. You can literally see your skin glow.

3 Personal Favorites from Kama Ayurveda

Swathy · May 11, 2018 · 4 Comments

kama ayurveda

Kama Ayurveda is one brand which appeals to me a lot personally though I have to say I have not used a lot of their products. I have their essential oils in my stash and I love them. I used their hair oil the first time and fell in love with it. Their body oils were amazing. And, their body butter is scrumptious. All the products I have used from the brand has proved to be a success. But, I do have the top 3 favorites from the brand.

Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Bath & Body Oil (review)

A lovely delightful body oil. Definitely one of their must-try products. And, I would say apply the body oil right after the shower when the body is slick wet. It is one of the simplest tricks to keep your body soft and moisturized for a longer time and with lesser effort to make the oil or body butter get absorbed. It is a good indulgence at Rs 850 currently mentioned on their website. Also, their list of body oils has changed dramatically over the past few years and they are looking really different now.

Forest Essentials Body Mist Rose and Cardamom

Swathy · May 4, 2018 · 3 Comments

Forest Essentials Body Mist Rose and Cardamom Product Review

The body mists and face mists have always baffled me! I never really understood what they were for and how to use them until I almost used up half of the bottle of forest essentials body mist. And, I am so glad I did not give up hope since using The Body Shop Aqua Mist once upon a time. In fact, they are now my go-to for smelling awesome though I must say Forest Essentials does not come cheap!

A bed of roses and the spiciness of cardamom comes through. I love the spiciness which keeps on developing on contact with your body heat. The notes are deep.

Forest Essentials Body Mist Rose and Cardamom Product Review

Price : Rs 1,250 for 100ml

It has been a few years since I got this one and if you have observed, I used an expired product! But, I have to say that there was no difference or any sort of product going bad even after almost a year of expiry. Though, this is strictly not suggested.
