The Body Shop Vanilla Body Lotion

Zee here...

Every time I wake up it has become part of my morning routine to moisturise my face before applying make up. I seem to struggle with dry skin so I've tried a few different creams but the ones I always seem to love are The Body Shop's Body Lotion's. 

I'm currently using the Vanilla scent but I have previously had the Peach one too. These smell delicious - my boyfriend always jokes that I leave the rooms smelling of chocolate and sweets which can't be a bad thing! I also received a compliment when I was in the kitchen at work the other day when one of the girls asked if I was wearing Shea Butter because I smelt good! 


The lotion is soft and easy to apply, leaving your skin feeling amazing! One thing I'm impressed with is how much it soaks into your skin, you aren't left with the greasiness that some moisturisers cause. Therefore you don't have to wait long to get dressed as there isn't a risk of it marking your clothes. 

I've always been a big fan of The Body Shop due the fact the don't test on animals and that their products are so natural and pure. This lotion has now become my regular moisturiser but I can't wait to try some different scents as so far the Vanilla and Peach have been a success!

Urban Veda

Zee here...

At first when I opened my secret Santa present this Christmas my heart initially sunk, a load of bath and body gifts. I'm ashamed to admit my first thought was what an easy cop out. However this set of Urban Veda products turned out to be the uncovering of a gold mine!



My absolute favourite item is the Radiance Body Wash. The scent is incredible and the softness of the lotion is perfect for any type of skin. I love it! I wish everything I had was in the Radiance range just because of it's scent. 

The product that comes in second place would be the Soothing Hydrating Toner with it's warm and comforting sandlewood scent. This reminded me a lot of The Sanctuary range you can purchase in boots but it's even better! It's leaves your skin with a clean and healthy glow.

As you can see from the image I was lucky to receive a further 3 products, all from the Purifying range. These make your skin feel alive and fresh! Perfect for waking you up in the morning or on a hot summers day.

After my first time using the Urban Veda products I knew I wouldn't be able to switch back to normal high street shower and body products so I checked out their website. At first glance the Urban Veda range may seem a little highly priced (£8.99 for shower gel) but it is so unbelievably worth it! The products are natural, environmentally friendly and healthy for your skin. And the best part - they don't test on animals!
