To be honest I have never bought anything there I cared for. But this could just be me. I know Rinda is a fan so I well let her tell you what she uses.

I shop there very occasionally, the last thing I bought would have been the perfume oil in 'Dewberry' which is gorgeous and the Nut Body Butter, beautifully scented and very thick.

Some of it can be expensive but it is usually good stuff! Their lip balms and lip sticks are great aswell as their skin care!
I've had a few lip glosses from there one...was far too watery and the other was blotchy?

Yea, the body shop is very good!

That is the uk sight, i know you are american but you cannot actually vie the products on the american sight, but you will find the uk products are pretty much the same as the american one. I personally love there body butters, great way to have lovely smelling and looking skin. As rinda said, there lip balms are so yummy and good for your lips. There scents and hand massagers are pretty swell too

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

Any more information on the brightening eye concealer?

yes! It's fantastic. Not only does it brighten and conceal, but it works to diminish dark circles too (although, nothing is better at that than Benefit's Eyecon)...I use it as a treatment all around my eye...bringing it up onto my eyelid too. Not only does it prep the skin for eyeshadow...it helps the makeup stay on longer, but you get smoother, brighter eyes all around, which makes them look fresh and awake. When I started using that, I stopped using mascara and eyeliner during the daytime, which I always thought helped me look more awake (because I'm asian and have small lashes and eyes that aren't very defined)
