The body shop black friday haul

 I know this is super duper over due, but I get excited with unboxing memeboxes that I always put everything else on the back burner.  I should have uploaded this when it was still available but I just couldn't with work being so busy :S.  So sorry in advance for that but I am going to share with you this awesome deal right here ;).

I believe this deal only happens twice a year, but they always have good deals like 40% off, buy 3 get 3 free.  I also suggest getting the body shop membership since it is worth it as well.  The card itself is $10, but you do get $10 credit back on your birthday month to spend it on anything you would like.  Every $25 you spend before tax, you get one point.  If you get up to 4 points, you get $15 store credit and if you get u to 8 points, you get back $25 store credit and a free renewal for next year's membership.

On top of that, you get 10% off regularly when you buy anything from the store and you get exclusive deals as well.  I think it is a pretty sweet deal.  You can always work up a good deal since I'm going to teach you all the tips and tricks!  Let's get started shall we?

Body shop deals guide

Ever since I bought a few body butters from the body shop, I have been obsessed! Their scents are really nice, their prices are fair and they give back to the communities where they get their resources from which makes my heart feel warm and fluttery. 

I would never get anything full price if I don't have to and the best thing about the body shop is? There is always always always a deal and a coupon to use.  If you get their membership card, which i do recommend, you can get it for $10 which you get back on your birthday ($10 towards any purchase on your birthday month), and you collect points for every $25 you spend. 

Membership benefits:
-$10 for the card itself
-$10 reward on your birthday month
-10% off all purchases online and in stores
-exclusive discounts and sneak peeks
-points for every $25 spent (remember max 2 points per transaction...even if you spent $100, you still only get 2 points)
-every 4 points = $15 reward towards your next purchase
-8 points, card renews itself for the next year
There is an awesome deal right now where you get double points.  This means you can spend half the amount to get those rewards and even renew your card! Whooo hoo~

*BTW the picture isn't for this event, the event is only in physical stores and only until Jan. 18, 2014*

Collective Body shop haul

All of a sudden, it hit me.  I fell in love again. And I fell in love with the one I didn't like at first.  Who is it you ask? The body shop.  Ever since I was a kid, I always thought the body shop had very unnatural scents which intoxicated the store.  I mean if you can smell it meters away from the store, it can't be natural right?  Sadly I have been blinded by love because I love the body shop now!
 The body shop is like drugs!  I used to really like Lush but I always found their prices were very expensive.  I was brainwashed to thing that I was paying for the quality and the fact it is all handmade.  The downside to that is there is a fast expiration date which I didn't like that much.  I still love Honey I washed the kids, but I don't think I would be paying $15 for a block of soap no more.  Hopefully in the future, they will come out with a perfume of that scent.  I would be all over that :).

I never really paid any attention to my body but since I am slowly shifting away from cosmetic products for my face, I am beginning to find that I love body products.  And where can I shop that is decently afforable and fun? THE BODY SHOP :D.  I have been eyeing the peach body butter for the longest time.  I'd say about a year and a half? It was limited edition but they came back as a permanent product which I am so happy they did.

The body shop black Friday amazing deal!

I don't usually shop at the body shop but when I do, I only shop there when they have their 3 for $30 or even once it was 4 for $30 for just body butters and shower gels.  This time around for Black Friday, Body shop is having this offer where you can get a bundle of 9 full size (except for the moisturizer) products for $25 after you buy $30 worth of products.  And yes, you can use this deal with the 3 for $30!
 I have been eyeing their vineyard peach collection ever since it came out and I didn't know it was limited edition, so by the time I was ready to buy it....of course it was gone.  I'm happy that it is in the permanent collection now! I guess it is finally time to get it.  I also now and eyeing the honeymania collection, the body butter of course.  I smelled it in the store and I like it, it was a quite refreshing light honey scent which in the long run will not make me gag.
The $25 tote bag comes with:
-Chamomile make up eye remover 250 mL $16.00 CAD
-Cranberry shower gel 250 mL $8.00 CAD
-satsuma body polish 200 mL $20.00 CAD
-satsuma body butter 200 mL $20.00 CAD
-Vitamin E moisture cream 15 mL (sample size) $18.50 CAD 50 mL; full size $5.55 sample
-absinthe hand butter 100 mL $20.00 CAD
-coconut body oil 100 mL $14.00 CAD
-coconut soap $4.00 CAD
-bath lily  ??
-I love body shop tote ??
-------------------------------------------------------------
Total retail price: $107.55
       You pay: $25
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
           You save: $82.55

You really can't beat the tote.  I mean it is all full size products :).  I don't mind having bath products sitting in my drawers since it will be used up.  You can also give the tote bag products away as gifts.  Its the best of both worlds!  I believe this deal will end December 2.

The 3 for $30 will end December 1, 2013 so if you have been eyeing a lot of things like me, you better get it now!

And if you thought the deals ended there, you are wrong.  If you use ebates.com, which is a website online which you sign up for free and they give you a percentage back to you if you use their links and buy things.  This is not a scam, and yes I know it sounds too good to be true but trust me, free money speaks loud to me LOL. During black Friday, they always offer double cash back so for those of you that live in USA, you get 10% back into your account and for those of you in Canada like me, you get 6% cash back.

So if you stack up all the deals:

Body shop love your body membership $10 fee 10% off anything
Ebates cash back 6% for Canadians
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16% (for Canadians) or 20% (for Americans) off on top of the deals 

Who wants to pay full price eh? ;)

The body shop haul

I must admit that I do like the body shop as much as I don't want to.  I don't know why but in the back of my mind, I don't like the body shop LOL.  I think it is because I feel that there are too much artifical smells.  But I couldn't pass up on their sale (which they have one almost everyday but the best one for sure is 3 for $30 which you can pick whatever you want) 4 for $30 mix and match of their selected body butters and body showers.  I saw the size of the shower gels and was impressed!  Everytime I pass by the store, i go and check if they have their peach scent back and also smell the other scents (which i do like some of them) but a few of their "try me" smells disguisting.  It smells just like stinky plastic in body butter.  Ewwww.....

First Lush Haul

Okay I have been seeing a lot of videos from gurus on Youtube such as whatstyleisnickel or makeupbytiffanyd and such, and they always rave about products from Lush. I must say that I remember when I was a kid and I passed Lush store, I had to cover my nose because it smelled really bad to me. But when you get pass the really weird smelling store, their products are really nice!I really wanted to go to a Lush store, but I really didn't have time to go all the way to downtown so I just bought some online and have em sent to my house. Yes I know, judge me and say I'm sooooo lazy. The dumb thing was the night I went on Lush was the last night where they were having the buy one get one sale and I missed it the day after because i was "thinking" about it. Ugh so mad. Anyways I bought stuff from Lush this time because my skin was acting up and I needed something super moisturized and Lush Baby face came to mind.

When I was going through Youtube videos about Lush, i came across Lush's channel which I was quite surprised they even had one and when i watched one of the videos showing us how to make their Sexy Peel soap, they actually go to the market and buy fresh ingredients for their products. Little did I know that they are based exactly where I live here in Vancouver and the market they buy stuff from is in Granville Island. So i am pleased to say I will support Lush more now because I respect their company philosophy and their way to contribute to the world and local town by using local fresh ingredients.

Comes super packed with their lush times newspapers and it comes with the newspaper itself right on top of everything for more coverage.
Lush times is so fun to read. They show basically all their products that they sell and it only comes out 4 times a year for every season.Look it all that Lush!! Ohhh la la, eye candy :). My products!! It came to a total of $56 CAD + $6 CAD shipping= $70
I bought Honey I washed the kid soap ($7.95 CAD/ 100 g), Comforter Bubble bar ($8.95 CAD/ 200 g), Each Peach (and two's a pair) ($9.95 CAD/ 65 g), Dark angel cleanser ($10.95/ 100 g) and Bon Bon Lip scrub Christmas Limited Edition ($8.95 CAD/ 25 g).Lush smells so good my dog here, Bobo, couldn't resist! She kept smelling and smelling and smelling.........Still smelling! The comforter bubble bar, people RAVE about this and its the top selling bubble bar from Lush. So I took a shot and bought this to try out but when I took a sniff, I didn't really like the smell. It had this really kind of washroom cleaning product stink with other stuff mixed into it but I haven't really used this so i can't review it. I'm sure it might smell differently when I actually use it in the bath.But hey, its HUGE!! It's almost as big as my whole face! I also bought Dark Angel facial cleanser because people on YouTube was seriously in love with this product. I'm going to have to try it out for a longer period of time for me to actually review this. It has a really kind of minty smell which is quite strong, so if you don't like herbally smells then you won't like this. Others get the Dark Angel in those nice black jugs but I don't know why I got it in a plastic container =(. Kinda bummed about that but its not that big of a deal. The baby face cleanser is used just straight on you face even if you have make up on. So what you do is you melt this on your face, spread it and then take a cotton whatever to wipe off the make up. No whatever is required. People that review this product don't like it, but I'm pretty sure that they aren't using it right. Its best if people use this at night because its so oily. It makes my skin really soft and moisturized when I wake up in the morning and it totally saved my skin from the harsh winter weather we're getting here.
OK so I have quite full lips but the problem with them is that it is always chapped with dry bits and I don't like the look when I put on lipstick, so this product is perfect for that job! It smells just like lemon sorbet just like how they describe with a hint of cranberry. When I used this, I'm so tempted to eat it because it just smells so good and its nice and sweet. I hope this is safe to eat because I have ate a little bit by mistake.I do really like the fact that the staff that makes these products have their own stickers which is very "Lush" and makes me feel very personalized. Yey for Lush!This is what it looks like up close. As you can see it has a creamy, yellow color to it and it smells very strongly of light lemons. Lush used icing sugar and sugar as the natural exfoliator and that makes it soo yummy and sweet, I can't help myself! The lip scrub itself is decent, but it is a tad but too dry and it just falls off my lips before I can even use it. It does the job quite well but I wish it was a little but more moist.
And DRUMMM ROOOLL PLZ....DAN DAN!! Honey I washed the kids! I mean come on, its Lush most famous soap, how can I not try it and see what the hype is all about right? So people say that this smells just like toffee and honey, but to me and my nose I smell orange, milk, hint of honey and maybe just a little bit of toffee. At first when I smelled it straight from the bar, I was like UGH what is this smell? It smells so....yucky. Lush products to me really needs time to sink me for me to love it but when I took a shower with this baby, it smelled better!! I think the hot seam helped XD and the fact that I was really creamy to rub on my body and it was kind of bubbly. It made my skin squeaky clean, and i do mean squeaky clean like you can DJ with your body squeaky. It was aweeeesome.
Last but not least, "each peach & two is a pair" massage bar. This is meant for being like rubbing Shea butter on your body and making all moisturized. I think of it as body cream xD times two because it is sooooo moisturizing. The scent of this bar is verrryyy orangey and everything citrus! I could not stop smelling myself when I want to bed because I smelled soo nice and my skin feels soo nice. Definitely 4 star product.
So this is my first full experience with Lush. Their shipping was good, good and affordable shipping price of a flat $6 for 2-14 days or $8 for 2-8 days. Its best to put the six bucks one because its no difference, my package came within approximately 4-5 days. Overall the quality of Lush is very good and it feels so luxurious to me to pamper myself with nice bath products. Its pure happiness.

The body shop summer 2010 Baked Bronzer

Just a few weeks ago, or I think it was last month? There was a sale (i think it's still going on right now) in Canada, the body shop yet again had the "Buy any 3 items for only $30" but not including gift sets or any set for that matter. So i decided to take that offer since I was wanting to get this highligher/bronzer for a long time, but $21 is a little too expensive for The body shop. Anyways, here's some pictures...

The packaging is just like the blush/bronzer from last year, but this time it is clear. The clear makes the whole product look very nice and sleek. The lid is a deep doom shape, same with the product itself.

As you can see, it has a marblized finish containing gold, brown, little bits of redish brown and a light pink. It looks really muddy and washed up since I have been using it and swirling it around with my brush.

Swatch in day light/ more yellowish light.


Here's a swatch in flash light/ white light.

(Oh la la, made in Italy!)

It reminds me a lot of Mac's MSF's. It is kinda similar, but i like these a whole lot better because MSF have more chucky gimmer while this once gives more of a sheen. MSF are 10g and these are 9g!! WOW The price differs by $12...

Summary: -cost: 7/10 (for regular price; I got mine for only $10)

-Pigmentation: 9/10

-Packaging: 8/10

Overall: B+
