A few pieces from The Body Shop's limited-edition bath and body care collection for the holidays! The range includes body butters, body scrubs, shimmery lip balms, bath salts and hand care in seasonal fragrances such as Cranberry Joy, Ginger Sparkle and Vanilla Bliss. If you love sweet scents, you sure will love Cranberry Joy. Ginger Sparkle on the other hand smells very spicy and fresh and Vanilla Bliss is pure vanilla goodness that is rich, warm and comforting.
Ginger Sparkle Body Butter ($19) - A rich body butter with the spicy scent of fresh ginger in a special edition packaging. The body butter has a little zing to it when applied and leaves you smelling great. You have got to like spicy notes to love this scent. I detect only a teeny tiny hint of sweetness here with more of the zingy ginger scent that you either love or hate. I love the way it feels, smells and how well it moisturizes, just like other body butters from TBS. A great body butter for the colder months ahead. The scent is rather strong, so be sure to take a whiff before you buy.
Vanilla Bliss Bath Crystals ($20) - A rich smelling bath soak with the warm, comforting aroma of vanilla. It does smell extremely sweet, unlike other spiced vanillas TBS usually puts out each year. The crystals dissolve easily and makes for an amazingly sweet smelling pedicure soak too, especially when used with warm water.
Vanilla Bliss Hand Lotion ($6) -A light hand (and body) lotion with a super strong vanilla scent that comes packaged in a convenient pump bottle. The packaging has a lock mechanism so you don't have to worry about icky, dried lotion that accumulates around the pump. The lotion feels thick, so you only need a pump or less for both hands, but goes on to absorb really quick and moisturizes well without the tackiness. Since it is quite light, it is perfect as a day lotion or something to keep by your sink to moisturize every time you wash your hands. The scent is extremely strong, but in a warm and comforting way.
Ginger Sparkle Lip Balm ($6) - A shimmery, zesty smelling lip balm with a ginger flavor The shimmer is rather scattered and very fine so it isn't sparkly. The Ginger Sparkle Lip Balm is a good, basic lip balm with a super nice flavor that works during the day. It is moisturizing but you'd have to re-apply after about 3 hours. If you have extremely dry lips, you would still need a heavier balm to moisturize. For a light dose of hydration and a lovely, spicy flavor, this one is just perfect. There isn't any color added to the balm but it looks quite glossy on its own. I really like the convenient packaging too!
Cranberry Joy Body Polish ($19) - A foaming, sweet smelling body polish that exfoliates while cleansing. It smells like fruit spread and foams up pretty well. It isn't sulfate-free and can be slightly drying, so be sure to slather some moisturizer afterwards. TBS' Body polishes are a great multi tasking product that slough off dry skin and cleanse thoroughly The tiny exfoliating beads dissolve quickly and polish skin really well. I like to use it about once or twice a week, just like I would with a body scrub!
