Where: The Body Shop
The Body Shop is well known for their scrubs, shower gels and general bath products. I’ve been a long time fan of their shower gels, my favourite flavour has always been passionate fruit, which they unfortunately discounted a while back (I still have a bottle, as I stocked up before they ran out!)
Earth Lovers is a new series from The Body Shop that currently hosts a range of shower gels. It comes in an array of scents from Mint & Cucumber, Watermelon & Eucalyptus, Fig & Rosemary, Pear & Lemongrass, Apricot & Basil and Fragrance-Free. I couldn’t choose between Watermelon & Eucalyptus and Apricot & Basil, so I ended up purchasing both! (The SA told me they were the most popular too!) They don’t smell as sweet as the traditional shower gels, they smell more subtle with a bit of spice.
As a product, they wear similar to the Body Shop’s other shower gels, in that they create a generous amount of foam when used with a Bath Lily (which I love), leaves my skin feeling soft and clean~ The main difference however is that the remaining scent does not linger as long as the original shower gels, which is actually something I like! After about an hour or so the scent is completely gone 🙂
From an environmental stand point, these shower gels are environmentally friendly (100% biodegradable), contain no sulphates, no colourants and no parabens, so are suitable for sensitive skin. You should definitely visit the website to read up more on this if this is something you are passionate about (I know I have a friend at work who is very picky about what types of products.)
Overall, if you love the Body Shop’s traditional shower gels, you should definitely give these a go! They are pretty much exactly the same usage wise, except the scent isn’t as long lasting, which can be a pro or con (pro for me!).
Sounds really nice..might check it out
Sounds great, I hope you enjoy them 😀
Love TBS packaging 🙂
I like lingering, long lasting scents, though. :/ Which is a pity, because the options sound so pretty ^^
Thanks for the awesome review 🙂
Yes it is gorgeous!! Ah then you’ll probably enjoy their traditional shower gels, the smell lingers on me for aages~ You’re very welcome, I’m glad you found it useful 😀
What’s with The Body Shop discontinuing things? I liked their Passionfruit shower gel too! Don’t get me started on the Brazil Nut Scrub and Pink Pepper Perfume discontinuations…. ):
I know right!? Passionfruit was amazing!! I wish I knew why too 🙁
I have this!! 🙂 Well it’s my sister’s and i love it ^_^ I used to go to Body shop a lot but the one near me closed down so I haven’t been going for a while.
Yay! I’m glad you love it too 😀 Sorry about the store closing tho 🙁 At least you can online shop instead? 😀
ohh girl, I just read your “about” section. You did IT ? Did you learn about Java ? If so, what books did you use? My school provided us books but it is pretty outdated T_T
Yes! I work in IT 🙂 I did C++ and Java as my main languages in Uni, but that was many years ago so the books I used are very outdated! I would recommend using online resources instead, they are much more up to date, good luck!
Yum! By the by, your product photography is lovely 🙂
Aww thank you <3 <3 I try 😀
