Tuesday Tales - The Body Shop Haul

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 !
