Body Shop SS16 Review

So about a month ago, I was given a box full of goodies from The Body Shop with items that hadn't even reached the shelves yet. So I tried and tested as you do, and I must admit I really enjoyed using their products. I even received a special edition cuddly toy with a little ribbon labelled The Body Shop.


This product is literally sunshine in a bottle. NEW Honey Bronze Drops Of Sun - Launched 17th May. This is the ultimate natural holiday glow creator. The tan is instant and lasts a number of days. Simply apply 1-2 drops to your moisturiser or foundation. I found that once applied with your moisturiser, I added a few extra drops without cream as I love to be Bronzed.

NEW Vitamin E Moisture-Protect Emulsion SPF30 PA+++

I don't usually experiment with face creams, as I have only ever used Nivea or Clinique on my face, but since reading up about this product I was really tempted to try it. This cream feels really lightweight on your skin leaving you feeling nourished and protected. The UVA and UVB protection is boosted with biofermented hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture for over 48 hours.


Non-sticky 93% Agree
No White finish 95% Agree
Moisturised 91% Agree

Based on The Body Shop Self Assessments.



This product launched on the 25th April and retails at £14 for 50ml.





Here is my cute cuddly toy, and cute pineapple coaster that also came included in the set.

NEW Polynesian Island Tiare Eau de Toilette 50ml

Another sunshine in a bottle. Surround yourself with the Polynesian Tropics and the luminous blossoms of Tiare. At the top, a sparkling dash of juicy orange enhances the solar accents of a bouquet of sun-loving flowers - frangipani blossom and ylang-ylang, warmed with a blend of creamy coconut and vanilla for a luscious island scent. This particular perfume retails at £18. However the scent itself is available to buy as a shower gel, body lotion and body cream. This item launched 17th May.


The Summer of Love - The Pinita Colada Collection

NEW Pinita Colada Body Sorbet 250ml

Give your skin a sip of this lightweight hydrating sorbet for a cooling burst of fresh moisture. This product retails at £8. I've never used any form of cream calling itself a sorbet and I was pleasantly surprised. At first I thought it looked quite similar to wallpaper paste - due to its translucent whipped form, but I can assure you it is nothing like wallpaper paste. The smell is divine and definitely a summer treat!




NEW Pinita Colada Exfoliating Cream Body Scrub 250ml

This Body scrub contains real shredded coconut! This is what really enticed me to this product. You can't see the coconut pieces but you sure can smell it. This refreshing lightweight exfoliator leaves your skin feeling softer, smoother and ready for a summer of love. This product retails at £15.

NEW Pinita Colada Body Butter

This little divine tub is a little tub of wonder. It contains organic soya oil from Capanema, Brazil. It is silky smooth and not too heavy and thick. You can really smell the coconut in this. I'm not too fond of creams that feel like they've added an extra layer of skin on you. This product is available in 50ml £6 and 200ml £14.



One last note - I really adore how The Body Shop  have incorporated their new campaign of helping to regenerate and protect the rainforest. They are also donating money for every purchase made to the World Land Trust. So... don't you think it's worth treating yourself If you know it's going to a good cause.
