The Body Shop - Pink Grapefruit

Who doesn't love The Body Shop? I love going in and smelling all of the products. The staff are friendly and helpful and even their range of make - up is super pigmented and their brushes are sooo soft.

Probably one of my favourite scents is pink grapefruit. I find it refreshing and not too sweet as some scents give me a headache. As I have quite a few products, I thought I would write a little review to tell you what I thought.

 Clockwise from back left: Body Sorbet (moisturiser), Shower Gel, Body Mist, Eau de Toilette, Body Scrub - Gelee,

First of all, all of the products smell great and as with all Body Shop products, the scent is strong but not overpowering.

Body Sorbet - I know the picture isn't the most attractive but I thought I would show the consistency. I have never tried the sorbets before - I have plenty of the butters which are amazing but take a while to soak in. The sorbets are a lighter version I suppose. They soak in almost immediately leaving your skin feeling soft and smelling great. This will definitely get me to moisturise more! Also, I love that it is in a tube as scooping the butters can be a little messy and it also means this is more portable. 
Pink Grapefruit Body Sorbet 200ml - £8.00

Shower Gel - I love Body Shop shower gel. They smell brilliant and when I was using this in the shower the other day, from outside the bathroom, my mum could smell this. It leaves you feeling clean and smelling great and as the scent is so refreshing, it wakes you up in a morning. Lathers up really nicely and even more so using a shower puff. 
Pink Grapefruit Shower Gel 250ml - £4.00
***
Body Mist - Squirt it all over and smell great. Gives a really nice, subtle scent. My second bottle - I also recommend the Vanilla mist too. It is in a glass bottle which looks really nice but I prefer to travel with plastic bottles just in case. 
Pink Grapefruit Body Mist 100ml - £7.50

***
Eau de Toilette - slightly stronger than the mist as you just apply where you would put perfume but basically gives the same overall scent but as it is smaller, it is more portable and good to slip in to a handbag. It is also more expensive than the mist for 70ml less so I think I might just stick with the mist. 
Pink Grapefruit Eau de Toilette 30ml - £8.50



Body Scrub - Gelee - this scrub is brilliant, it is really good at exfoliating and gets rid of dry skin really well. The texture is strange (is is true to the Gelee part of it's name) but quite cool. The downside is that I find tubs a  bit of a nightmare in the shower as getting product out and not filling the tub with water have to be taken in to consideration. However, the scent is lovely and it works! 
Pink Grapefruit Body Scrub - Gelee 200ml  - £13.00

There are also many more products in the pink grapefruit range and these products are available in most of the Body Shop's fragrances.

Let me know what your opinions are!

What I've Been Up To

If I'm being entirely honest, not that much has happened so far this year. I haven't been to many places in 2018, instead spending my weekends at work waitressing and revising. However, as we're now 7 months (?!?!) in to 2018 and I haven't posted on here for a while, I thought I would write a post with a few of things that have been happening - or what I can think of off the top of my head.  NOTE: You might want to skim read this, I've rambled quite a bit   January  The year kicked off with trial exams as soon as we returned to school so I ended up spending all but one day of the Christmas holidays revising. I am glad that I did the revision that I did as not only did it help me enormously in the trial exams, but by the time I came to revise for my final exams, I didn't have to start from scratch with revision resources as I had re-read some of my Literature books, made revision cards and refreshed the content from the previous year. I do still think i...

Challenging a Holy Grail

It's probably a bit strange that my first blog post in a while is a foundation/makeup thing. It really has been a while since I've done anything like this because, let's be honest, anybody reading this is likely 100x more experienced and knowledgable about makeup than I am after spending the year rarely wearing it. However, when I look online, I struggle to find foundation recommendations for people with similar skin to mine so I thought this might be of some use. I have very fair skin so struggle to find anything from high street makeup brands (and high end most of the time) that's the right shade as my skin, despite being pale, doesn't particularly have pink undertones, which most foundations at the lighter end of the shade range tend to have. The only foundation that I tend to buy other than the MAC Studio Fix fluid in NW10 (a tad too dark but good for going out) is the Revlon Colorstay Normal/Dry in 110 Ivory. When I first started to use this foundation, I...

My Views on Oxford

There have been very few posts on this blog over the past year. Probably the biggest reason for that is being incredibly busy after starting university. Now two terms in to my time studying Law at Oxford, I feel as though I can reflect on the ups and downs since I arrived and give my thoughts on the university as a Northern, state school student. Quick note: these are my experiences only and may not reflect those of all students  The work  I feel as though this is the most frequent question: is it hard? Quite frankly, Oxford wouldn't be able to maintain its prestige if it wasn't hard. But realistically, university in general is hard. Living away from home, making new friends, finding your way around a city whilst juggling work and extra-curricular activities is always going to be difficult. However, Oxford does take this up a notch. Oxford students generally are not allowed to take on paid employment during term time, with exceptions of working occasionally for th...
