The Body Shop Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover

The Body Shop Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover
Price: P605 (250ml)
Avaiable: The Body Shop Stores

Another make up remover to review today, yay!

The first ever make up remover I used is the Maybelline eye &lip make up remover. 

While it does the work, it's just fun to go make up and skin care shopping, 

so here I got one from my favorite brand, 

The Body Shop camomile gentle eye make up remover.

As I wrote from my previous The Body Shop posts, 

I like the idea that The Body Shop products contained 

Community Fair Trade Ingredients.

This make up remover works 

the same as other make up removers, put product on a cotton ball or pad, 

wipe those make up off.

However it says, gentle eye remover,it stings my eye area a little. 

I notice that it is a lotion feel remover and even with 2-3 cotton pad wipes, 

it still tend to leave mascara residue.

I guess this is why, having this for quite some time in my vanity table, 

I'm yet to use up half of it.

I wouldn't recommend this to those who use mascara, 

especially waterproof. 

This product won't do the work.

Instead of using this for the eye area, 

I use this to remove my face make up and it worked well.

So, would I repurchase this product?

No.

My hunt for the best make up remover is still on! :)

'Til then!

The Body Shop All-in-one Face Base

I've been using The Body Shop products for more than ten years and my personal favorite is it's All-in-one Face Base in 02. What I like about this face base is it's light to medium coverage, indeed, I feel like having my own face, only better. It is also a convenient on the go compact which includes sponge and mirror.

Once my sister saw me using this, she tried it, then asked me if she could have it na lang! 

She ended up with my trusted compact.

Week ago, I dropped by the only TBS store in Iloilo City, located at the 2nd floor Robinsons Place to get my face powder since mine is running out. I always buy 2 face base for back up :). When I come around the shop to buy I asked for 02 but the SA told me it's out of stock. I opted for 03 then she introduced the new all-in-one face base shade  the 035 which she said is a good match to my skin. (I think this is the new 02)

03 and 035 shades (with flash)

my about to run out 02, 03 and the new 035 shade

There's a little shade difference on the 02 and 03 but the new shade 035, 

one can notice it to be pinkish.

I've been using the new shade and it really is a much better match compared to the 02 shade I've been using. The problem with having 3 shades on hand is the mental fight on which one to use haha! I always ended up using the new shade.

All-in-one face base retail for php1425. A bit pricey that's why I get mine whenever it is on sale, mine was both at 50% off. At regular price, with LYB card, it can be availed at 10% discount. Which reminds me tomorrow is the last day of the pre-holiday sale buffet!

What I like about the All-in-one Face Base:

1.Blends seamlessly with my skin tone with a smooth, matte finish.

--as the product description say: have the skin that looks like yours, only better.

2. The whole look and convenience. A mirror separates the sponge from the product.

3. Dermatologically tested and with vitamin E.

4. Uses ingredients from Community Fair Trade.

What bothers me:

1. The powder easily cracks when  you drop it even slightly, and it gets messy.

Tip: When you buy, at the counter, ask the SA to open the face base 

that you purchased to ensure that it is intact.

2. A bit pricey when not on sale.

Don't miss the chance to get big savings, drop by the nearest The Body Shop tomorrow!

Ask for the shade that match your skintone.

The Body Shop Extra Virgin Minerals Liquid Foundation

Hey lovelies!

Got busy the past week, it's our little girl's exam this week. Since, I am her tutor, we devote the weekend for study.

I promised a review for my previous The Body Shop haul from here, and it's more than a week of product test drive. Here's my take on it.

TBS Extra Virgin Minerals Liquid Foundation

a little product goes a long way

liquid foundation in 105

a dewy glow after blending

I like how the bottle  pump works. You can actually control how much of the product you wanted out of the bottle. For me, a small amount is enough to cover up my whole face, giving me a glow which doesn't look fake. Also, it's to be noted that it has SPF 30.

The foundation is very creamy and it glides and blend well into my skin.

It is important to choose the shade that will match your color.

The SA chose the perfect shade of 105 for me.

I use just a small amount so as not to make the product feel heavy in my skin. Using 1/3 of a pump, it gives me a lightweight feel that I can actually use everyday, which I have been doing for the past week. I've used it everyday and I haven't have any break out like I always do when I put other products aside from moisturizer and face powder.

A 28ml bottle is priced at php1,645. It is a little steep but I got mine for 50% off. And even with everyday use, it would take me months to use up the whole bottle

With a week of using, I am loving this product!

With TBS all-in-one face base in 035

I am a devote user of the all-in-one face base in 02. But the SA asked me to try the new 035 shade. Read about it here.

Hope this will help you ladies on your search for that perfect face coverage.

Hauls: The Body Shop Big Sale!

I like it that The Body Shop have environmental sensitivity in creating the products that they sell.

I'm a fan for as long as I can remember and if my memory serve me right, when I started experimenting with make up, my first eye palettes, face powder, lippies were from TBS.

I got an invitation to join the exclusive LYB (Love Your Body) Give Joy Party in Megamall (Oct. 13), Trinoma (Oct. 19) or SM Mall of Asia (Oct. 20). It's a loyal members only party.

Regrettably, since I am a plane ride away from the venues, I stopped my self from leaping into the opportunity of meeting other LYB loyal members and getting huge discounts from would be purchases, I promise myself though to attend next time if the same invite will come  ;).

To console myself, here's our weekend haul, lovelies!

Shampoo and conditioner at the back, family essential;
the front row, mine. 

I can't fret since the nationwide sale is still on, TBS discount is very tempting, I dropped by Robinson's Place Iloilo earlier. Sale time is the perfect time to stock up on products that I/we use up fast.

shampoo php985 SALE! php492.50
conditioner php765 SALE! php382.50

Hubby and I love the rainforest shampoo and conditioner.
I was using the rainforest radiance when hubby tried and liked the shampoo's result on his hair.He ended up using up 'my' shampoo and I actually packed a bottle for him to bring to a 5-month work contract away from home.
We both like how our hair felt thicker yet soft at the same time. What really attracted me is that it has no harsh chemicals (I get that every 3 months from my salon visits, thank you very much). The bottle says no silicones, no sulphates, no colourants, no parabens.

As the bottle instruction say, you have to mix the product in the hand with water to create lather. It doesn't lather much, as I am guessing because of the few chemicals in the product. However, it really does leave my hair completely cleansed. It is also the mildest shampoo I ever tried. For best results, use it with the conditioner accompaniment.

Olive Oil Dry Oil Mist  php875
SALE! php525

My olive oil (courtesy of my niece) is still half full, but it is best to stock up on TBS product when it's on sale, read: big savings!

I remember this product used to be packed differently, it is in a long glass bottle which I find nice however this one is handy since I bring this mist everywhere! Ok, we are in a tropical country and sticky is what comes to mind when you hear oil, and it has 2 oils in its name...olive (1)oil dry (2)oil mist hehe (It's not for cooking too ladies), but it is so light to the skin

Used all over the body after shower, this is very moisturizing and it is absorbed by my skin swiftly. It has a very good smell too, none of the funky olive oil smell we use in the kitchen.

I think it is best used at night, I use this instead of lotion. But, I also carry the mist in my bag and when I feel my hand drying or cold, I rub this product on. I find the smell comforting.

That's all for now lovelies. I need to try out the Extra Virgin Minerals liquid foundation first before I tell you my take on it. Also, my favorite all in one face base has a new shade, watch out. 'Til next time!

P.S.

Eye Mask php350

Before I go, bought this gel eye mask last week in Trinoma. It is very soothing, put it in the fridge for a few minutes before using. Package says it can also be soaked in hot water for a relaxing eye pampering (maybe i'll try it later).
It's a good buy especially for tired mommy eyes. Be sure to read the instructions before using.

Don't forget to drop by the nearest TBS, big sale still on going!

Lovely day!
