Body Shop Beautifying Oil Review



I wanted to take the time to write and review this dry oil from the Body Shop, I bought this in the scent "Morninga" as it's one of my favourites from the Body Shop. It smells just like the other products from the range, which is a beautiful, flowery, fresh and sweet scent. Very feminine and just down-right gorgeous. 

I've been using this oil in my hair, I run it through the ends of my hair before I sleep and leave it in overnight. After washing my hair the next morning I can really feel the difference, it really leaves my hair feeling smooth and super shiny! I try to only do this once a week so my hair doesn't get addicted!

I've also been using this on my legs and arms as in London the water is "hard water" and is drying out my skin, using this is a great way to give my skin the intense moisture it need. Again I only use it before bed because it being an oil it does take a long time to sink in and I just can't be dealing with that in the mornings! On the plus side my bedding smells great too!

Another way I use this is adding it to my evening skincare routine when I feel my face needs that bit of extra moisture. I will first dot my evening moisturiser (a little less generously than usual) on to my face and then get a few drops of the oil in my hands and massage both products into my face. By using both the oil and the moisturiser I feel it's more effective for my skin, doesn't overdo it by just using the oil and I feel it also helps the oil to sink in. I love doing this at the moment, feels like a real treat and my skin in the morning is so soft.

Overall I think this product is great, really moisturising, smells amazing and very multi-purpose! Thumbs up from me!

Get that fresh face feeling!

We all have those times when our face feels groggy, cloggy and just not clean! These three products are the perfect solution.


First up is the Neutrogena visibly clear exfoliating wash. This has tiny blue particles that exfoliate the skin gently and leave the skin feeling smooth and clean, it is my current daily face wash as the exfoliating particles are so gentle.
Next is the No. 7 beautiful skin hot cloth cleanser. I got this as I wanted to find an alternative to the Liz Earl cleanser, it came with a muslin cloth however now I use face cloths from Primark which work just as well! Now this product is truly lovely, it is so smooth when you rub it onto your face and when you rest a warm cloth over your face it feels so relaxing, I thoroughly enjoy using this product in the morning and evening when I want a really clean and fresh face. P.s my skin doesn't feel tight after use yet slightly moisturised - win!
Lastly is my Super Facialist by Una Brennan brighten and refine facial scrub from the rose hydrate range, these exfoliating particles are a lot rougher but perform their job perfectly, the smell of this is unreal (in a good way) and I use it when I feel my skin really needs a good scrub!

Sometimes I use all three together when I'm going for it but any product on their own still makes my skin feel great!

Hope you enjoyed the post and let me know how you get your fresh faced feeling.
