Hello all you Beautiful people of the Internet !
It’s lazy Tuesday evening . Yes, I know that expression.. You’re
probably wondering how I can something so audacious at the beginning of the
week ! Well, those are the perks of being in the Retail Industry. Tuesdays are
my Mecca.. My love/hate relationship.. My weekend ! It’s the off day in the
Market where I work. There are days when I am feeling extremely blue about that
situation.. specially on Saturdays and Sundays when all my corporate friends
are going out for brunches and partying in the evenings but then hey you don’t
get it all.. They don’t get to love Mondays like I do ! And that is not something
I can say for everybody ;) .. Sure. Its tough finding some good company on
Tuesday, who can go out with me and that sometimes makes me detest Tuesdays
being Offdays but but then, days like today more than make up for it.
I spent the better half of my morning lying in front of the
TV like a SLOB and watched 2 back to back movies on Romedy Now ( Well thank god
for that channel ! ) at the same time
stuffing myself with chips ! Ah well its my only lazy day.. gotta do justice by
them :D. Post that, I took a nice long shower and painted my nails a nice Corally
Orange. Have a look at the photo and tell me what you think ;).
In the
evening I went with my mom to mall where I couldn't help myself at The Body
Shop store. So for those of you, who do not know, I am an ardent TBS Fan.
Specially their Shower Gels, Lotions, Tea Tree Range and basically the entire
Skin Care and Grooming range. I haven’t experimented much with their Make Up
but their Skincare products are totally my weakness. So my visit to the store
brings me to this post today about My The Body Shop Haul !
First Off, I purchased ,The
Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion – Now, I have used the Tea Tree
Face Wash by Body Shop in Gel as well as in Foam Finish but this is my first
stint with the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion. My mom who has an extremely oily
skin usually swears by it. My skin is mostly combination with an oily T Zone
and some small dry patches on my cheeks occasionally, so it is important for me
to moisturize it but at the same time make sure the lotion does not leave my
skin too shiny. The product seemed light on my skin when I tried it.. almost
weightless. Lets see how it does after continued use.. I shall keep you guys
posted !
Price – INR 995 for 50 ML
Secondly, I purchased The
Body Shop Tea Tree Flawless BB Cream in shade 02 which is medium. I am
an NC 25 in MAC terminology however, the SA there was positive that 02 would be
better for my face as compared to 01 because BB Creams in general tend to
whiten out your complexion a little and besides when I did try on both on either
sides of my faces, 02 did look like it blended in better on me. Prior to this,
I was using the Maybelline BB Cream which I wasn’t sure was doing much for
oiliness after 1-2 hours and since summers are here, my skin, specially my T
Zone will be producing oil enough to fry pakoras in it !
Price – INR 1095 for 40 ML
Lastly, I purchased The Body Shop Moringa Sorbet, which was
an impulse buy for me ! Every time I visit the TBS store, I literally have to
be pulled away from the Bathing Range. Body
Butters, Bath Gets, Body Polishes, Shower Creams, Shower Gels, I have
practically tried them all from TBS and mostly have loved them all. My
Favourite fragrances are Satsuma and Moringa which is why I thought of picking
up this much talked about Body Sorbet in Moringa. The Sorbet is claimed to be
different from the regular Lotions in terms of its formulation and how it feels
on the skin. It moisturises the skin and at the same time leaves it feeling
fresh and light without any sticky residue. I look forward to using more of
this product this season and seeing how it fares for my normal body skin type.
Price – INR 795 for 200 ML
Well that, about sums up my Mini Haul from The Body Shop. If
you guys are interested in reading reviews about any of these products, do comment
below and I shall be happy to write a detailed review. On a totally different
note, thank god for Membership Cards, at least I get back a 10% discount on
every purchase I make for a year and since the day seems to be treating me
well.. I am not even going to begin calculating how much that amounts to ! :X
Now that I have done some shopping, stuffed myself, done my
nails and even said hello to you all, I think I am going to go back to the
world of Romantic Comedy at Romedy Now for a few hours, before I call it a day
! Sigh, It has been a productive Off day indeed !
Laters ! Much Love !
