Project Pan #5 - The Body Shop's Love Etc Perfume

So here we have another item that will be making its way onto my Project Pan list.  It is the Love Etc eau de parfum from The Body Shop.  This is available in various sizes but this was a 30ml which can be found here for £14.00.  

This reasonably price perfume is one of my all time favourites and I have got through a few bottles of it since first discovering how lovely it is.  I am absolutely rubbish at describing fragrances other than 'really nice' but fragrantica describes it as being made up of the following notes.

Top Notes: neroli, pear and bergamot

Heart Notes: jasmine, helitrope and lily of the valley

Base Notes: vanilla, sandalwood and creamy musk

The majority of perfumes in my collection feature vanilla and/or sandalwood as base notes so it was practically predestined that I would love this scent.

Would I repurchase?  Yes, I would, however I have a bit of a stash of this scent in various sized bottles so I will work through those before I pick up another one.  

Have you ever tried this perfume?

The Body Shop Cucumber Water - A Review

I bought this a few months ago when The Body Shop was having one of their many deals so I think I only paid a couple of pounds for it.  You can see it here, where it is currently on sale for £2 (plus if you have a body shop card you can get an extra 10% off).  

I'll be honest, this was a total impulse buy because I knew I needed toner.  I have never found a toner that I completely love so I don't tend to stick to one brand.  This lives on my bedside table and I have enjoyed using this before I go to sleep.  It smells divine, like cucumbers shockingly, and generally feel refreshing to use.  It isn't a luxury product and doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is but it does what it says on the tin.  It probably isn't the best toner for me as I sometimes suffer from dry skin and I do feel that this makes my skin feel a little tight straight after I use it.  I try to put moisturizer on before bed anyway so this isn't really a problem for me, if anything it helps me remember to put it on.

So would I buy it again? Yeah I think I would, I'm half way through my current bottle and if a different toner doesn't catch my eye in the meantime I would get another bottle.

Project Pan #1 - The Body Shop's Mango Body Butter

I have finally managed to use a few things up.  If I'm honest I used this up almost a week ago but I wanted to wait until the sun was out before taking photos (on the plus side it means there will be a flurry of posts in the next few days).  

So here we have it my first item that will be making its way onto my Project Pan list.  It is the mango body butter from The Body Shop.  This is only a mini that I got free a little while ago but the full sized version can be bought for £12.50.

As you can see I have used pretty much every last bit of this product up.  The Body Shop body butters are pretty well known - and for good reason.  They are absolutely lovely.  Due to the size this didn't last me ages but it did last a fair few months.  It smells delicious, just like mangoes, the texture is nice but it does leave skin a tiny bit oily until it has fully soaked in.  This doesn't make me love it any less though.

Would I repurchase?  Yes, I would, however I have a bit of a stash of other scents.  So whilst I work through them I hope to find out which are my absolute favourites.

What do you think of the body butters?  Have you got a favourite one?
