Body Shop Evening and the new Piñita Colada range

This weekend I attended an evening at the newly re-fitted Body Shop in Huddersfield to trial some of their new products including the Piñita Colada range. I've used Body Shop products for many years, although my current skincare regime is rather lacking so I was looking forward to trying some of the products I was unfamilar with like the Oils for Life and the Vitamin C range.




After being split into small groups we were given skincare consultations and introduced to the new products in their make-up range. They seem to be really expanding the range, in particular with the bronzing and illuminating products. The most I do colour wise to my face is a bit of blusher, I just can't get the hang of bronzing and always convinced it looks silly on me! But if you use these it's worth having a peek at the new offerings.

I really enjoyed trialing the skincare chosen for me, my face looked so radiant and smooth. After cleansing and toning the lady used the new Vitamin E Aqua Boost Essence Lotion to prep the skin followed by the Vitamin C moisturiser. I've had my eye on that for a while and i'm going to purchase once I run out of my current one. I did buy the essence lotion however as the packaging really sold it to me, I think it looks a little retro! What do you think?

After that we had the products from the new Piñita Colada range trialed on us. Piñita Colada means virgin pina colada. Consisting of a scrub, sorbet, shower gel and body butter the sorbet felt ideal as an after sun on your hot summer holiday. With a coconut and pineapple tropical scent I did find it a little subtle for my tastes but that just means it's wearable in any situation. It's really refreshing and the scrub even has shredded coconut in it!

An unexpected discovery that evening was the Spa of the World range. I hadn't heard of this one before but the different scents of these products were unbelievable and very luxurious. I found some of them similar smelling to the Neom bath oils.

I purchased the Vitamin E lotion and a couple of the Hemp products for my very dry lips and hands but i'll be back soon for some of the others I tried. Thank you to the Body Shop and the wonderful staff, you all certainly know your stuff!
