Ok, I'm gonna be the odd one out here but I wasn't impressed at all...

I'm a die-hard Body Shop fan, I can't go in there without taking half the store with me but the products sounded good and I like to support my own so I eventually found the store but nothing grabbed my attention. Maybe I'll go back and buy a book or visit one of the other outlets in South London, I still think people should check it out though you never you may like it.

Hi BnB,

Body shop products are not good, have you read the ingredients. Its just hype and they do not have a social conscience as they would like us to believe.They are global and corporate like all the other big boys, so think twice before handing over you hard earned money to Anita...

Who's Anita?

I've read the ingredients and I know they aren't THAT natural but they are more natural/concentrated then the rest of the high street market.

Well I finally visited the store on saturday and I loved it! Was broke as a joke so couldn't invest in anything but pay day is this week (banana.gif) so will deffinatly be back there.

I fell in love with the Ivorian body butter (thanx niceness niceone.gif), shea butter lotion, the pure shea butterand the black seed soap but I'm a bit wary of the soap as they normally dry out my skin really badlyand i have to stick to shower gels which don't but if it doesnt work for me, I'll use it as one of the draw fragrance type thingies and let my clothes reap the benefits!

Has anyone used the soap before? If so how did you find it?

Also, I suffer from eczema breakouts, mainly on my arms so can anyone recomend something for it? I used to use pure coconut oil and it really does the trick but my skin has a tendancy to build up an immunity to things after a while lol so after a year or so, it stopped working.

That happens to me but on my legs and usuallyduring winter. I use AloeVera Gel to calm it down. But I actually found Pirotin allergy tablets to be REALLY good-they were recommened by a friend and they worked.

Youhave just reminded me, I need to make a stop to the shop on payday fora body wash and a body scrub. I've been using the Honey&BrownSugar in both but I want to try the Lavender&Wildflowers. I also want to try their 'Lick Me All Over'fragrance. If anyone has tried the fragrance let me know what u think.

Iwent back to the shop yesterday and tried the LickMe All Over Fragrance. I though it smelled great and really subtle which is what I like in a fragrance. I treated myself to the ivorian body butter and I swearmy skin has never felt better.I used it after my bath last night and usually my skin it quite dry in the morning but it felt just as soft and smooth as it did the night before. You can really see the difference in consistancy between their body butter and the body shop body butter. Its like a million times thicker which is exactlywhat my skin needs. Things that are too waterbased tend to dry out my skin and aggravate my eczema.

Well the last time I was there, like I said, I got the Black soap & the facial scrub (aloe & oats) ..... BIG MISTAKE FOR ME.....it burned my skin, peeled my face, my skin was so raw!!! I have now reverted to my Oil of Olay facial products and face is back to normal

Still loving the Ivorian body wash & body butter though.... It eases my chocolate cravings....Mmmmm....body butter with milk chocolate and hazelnutbanana.gif
