oh God, The Body Shop sucks up so much of my money...I have a love your body membership, which is like...a rewards program, and I go through about 2 cards a year, which means over $400. They have great products, and since I've got a bad facial complexion (acne), I like to take care of the rest of my skin.
Their body brushes are great as are their loofahs and exfoliating towels. I have the body butters in nearly all the scents with matching scrubs. The body butters are so rich, and they come in fantastically large tubs. They get to be a little pricey...$16, I think, but its worth it. You will feel soft and hydrated every day. Your skin just feels healtheir.
I highly recommend the Vitamin E and Vitamin C lines. I have tried the tea tree oil line, but it didn't do too much for my skin. I really need something a little stronger. Let's see...I tried their hair products, but I prefer my Dove, same with the soaps. However, the hair masks, the poppy seed revitalizing mask and the brazil nut moisture mask...those are worthy investments.
The Bajik Africa mud mask is great. I use it once every couple of weeks on my entire body, followed by a soak in a warm bath, followed by an olive oil skin treatment. It's nice and relaxing...a home spa experience.
The hemp line is fantastic in the winter time when my feet, hands, and lips get chapped. It doesn't smell the best, but nothing works better.
I like the makeup. They have good lip glosses, great blushes. I haven't tried the powders or foundations. I have three body shop makeup staples: the brightening eye concealer, the vitamin E lip gloss, and the lip and cheek stain. My god, I cannot tell you enough...on an olive complexion...nothing looks as natural and radiant as the body shop lip and cheek stain. I have tried so many kinds. It makes me look like I'm glowing from the inside out. If you do not buy anything else from the Body Shop, buy the stain!
They have good blotting paper. I even bought a case to hold them in (the body shop sells their own...it comes in a compact with a mirror), but it's not really worth the price. You can get blotting paper for cheaper.
There is much, much more...but I think I'm writing too much. Maybe I'll come back
