The Body Shop Piñita Colada Shower Gel Review

Hey guys!

  

So I know it's no longer summer, and The Body Shop Piñita Colada Range came out months ago, but I thought I'd review it anyway.

 

Piña Colada is one of my favourite cocktails - so you can imagine my delight when I heard that The Body Shop was going to release a Piñita Colada range. The combination of pineapple and coconut is simply irresistible, and I'm always impressed with The Body Shop's products, so I knew this range was going to be good.

 

The collection includes a shower gel, body sorbet, body scrub, and body butter, which cost between £5 and £15 each. While some bath and shower products cost as little as £1, I'd have to say that this collection is very reasonably priced. When I visited The Body Shop, I managed to purchase two bottles of the Piñita Colada Shower Gel for just under £5 - even better!

 

I love the packaging of the shower gel. It comes in a 250ml bottle which is really pretty and summery, as well as colourful. The shower gel itself smells fruity and refreshing, and I definitely get hints of pineapple and coconut. As it is a gel, this product does have a fairly thick consistency, and it is a bit difficult to squeeze it out of the bottle. However, this is a good thing, since it means that I won't use it up so quickly! The shower gel is also hydrating and soothing - perfect for after swimming in the sea!

 

According to The Body Shop's American website, the Piñita Colada range will enable you to "transport yourself to the tropics" - there is no denying that the shower gel achieves this. I immediately feel like I'm in Spain whenever I use it.

 

If you love pineapple and coconut, and are missing the sun, I'd recommend you pop to your local branch of The Body Shop and stock up on the Piñita Colada range. As it is limited edition, this range won't be available much longer - you don't want to miss out!

Have you tried the Piñita Colada range? Let me know your thoughts!


Hasta luego!

Beauty Haul #2

Hey guys!

 

It seems like forever since I last did a beauty haul (almost a year ago, in fact). As I recently brought some products I've been lusting over, I thought it was time for another beauty haul. So here is my second beauty haul! Enjoy! :)

 

 

1. Carex Love Hearts

The first product in my haul is the new Carex Love Hearts soap. I saw this all over my Twitter and Instagram feeds and knew I had to purchase it! I absolutely loved the Strawberry Laces soap from Carex so I've been looking forward to trying some of their different editions. Don't you just love the bottle?

 

 

2. The Body Shop Pinita Colada Shower Gel

 

As I absolutely love Pina Colada, I thought I'd try The Body Shop's new Pinita Colada range. Luckily, there was an offer when I went to the shop, so I was able to buy two bottles!

 

 

3. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

 

 

This one is a repurchase. I've bought the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water a few times now and since I'd run out earlier this week, I added a bottle to my shopping basket when I popped into Superdrug. It's become one of my favourite products. I'll be doing a review shortly :)

 

 

Have you bought any of these products? Let me know what you thought of them!

 

 

Hasta luego!

Beauty Haul

 

 

 

Hey guys!

 

 Today I am going to share with you the beauty products I've purchased this month. I haven't actually done a beauty haul on this blog before, but I thought I'd start doing more beauty-based posts.

  

 

The first product I bought was the Virgin Mojito Body Sorbet from The Body Shop. I'd heard great things about this range so when my friend said she wanted to buy one of the products too, I couldn't resist. I do love mojitos and this moisturiser smells amazing - it's the perfect blend of lime and mint. I can't wait to use it! At £8.00 it's a little more pricey than other shower products I buy on a regular basis, but a girl can treat herself occasionally!

 

I love L'Oreal hair products, so when I saw this shampoo reduced in Superdrug I knew I had to buy it - I had run out of shampoo anyway!

 

Since I'd also used up all my shower gel, and Boots was doing a reduction on Radox shower gels, I decided to pick up the key lime & peppermint one. It goes well with the Virgin Mojito Body Sorbet.

 

I've never actually tried micellar water before, but there seems to be a lot of buzz about it at the moment. I found a mini bottle of the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water for only £1 at my local Boots so I picked it up. If I like it, I'll purchase one of the bigger bottles.

 

I already have two bottles of the Simple Kind to Skin Moisturising Facial Wash at home, but they've been open for a while (don't ask how long!) - time to buy some more I think!

 

The last product is a bar of Strawberry Soap from The Body Shop. I do love the smell of strawberries - so sweet!

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed my first beauty haul post! Let me know if you've tried any of these products! :)

 

 

Hasta luego!
