Body Shop Sale 18 May – 20 June 2012

Body shop is currently having up to 70% sale! I was there at Mid Valley yesterday and the crowd was massive! They have a lot of items on sale and I bought a few items. Cosmetics for 10-20%. Some skin care  are up to 30%

Here are a few i bought that were at 50% off.

I have used some of their body butter (olive, vitamin E, strawberry, blueberry) but I have not tried the peach and the Brazil Nut one, so I guess that is the excuse to buy since it is sale J. These 2 and one of their Christmas b0dy butter are 50% off. The rest like the olive and the strawberry ones are 30% off.

I also bought their Ice Blue shampoo which is a menthol shampoo.  I like to use menthol shampoo once a while because I like the cooling, fresh and clean feeling. It says behind the bottle that it will also leave your hair soft. Well, it is not very soft, but comparing to other menthol shampoos that I used before, it is comparatively softer. This shampoo is BLUE in color so please don't freak out.

The last thing I got was their small kabuki brush ( for the cheeks). According to the sales person, it is made out of goat’s hair. I was contemplating between this and their bigger one (for the face) which is only 10% off (retails at RM75). I decided to take the small one since it is on sale. It is a very dense brush, but I find it a little too stiff. I hope that it will get fluffier when I use it longer.

Verdict : GO TO THE SALE!!

Price : Quite Premium (when it is not on sale)

Body Butter – RM55 (200ml)

Ice Blue Shampoo – RM 38 (250ml)

Nature’s Mineral Blusher Kabuki Brush – RM 73

Where : The Body Shop

*Please note that prices are before 50% discount

LÓccitane Honey Miel & Lemon Citron Delightful Cream

I bought this quite sometime ago. This was from Singapore and LÓccitane does not carry this in Malaysia. For those who have read my post on the L'Occitane Honey Miel & Lemon Citron Hand Cream would know that i LOVE this range. You can read the review HERE. Unfortunately, when i purchased in Singapore, the sales person told me that they are also going to discontinue this.

The texture of this cream is very smooth and light and it glides very easily onto the skin. It also absorbs pretty quickly. It really keeps the skin moisturize and the best thing is i adore the scent so much! Because i only bought 1 jar, i am now using it for the top half of my body and bottom half, i am using another lotion. Sayang to use up so quickly because i know i cannot get this any more.

And this cream can also be use on your face. I tried using this cream to massage my face a couple of times but then i got lazy :p anyhow, i think it is a little too oily for the face.

Verdict : Nice texture, glides smoothly on skin without the oily feeling. Very nice strong scent (if you like lemon and honey). Too bad they will not have this anymore :(

Price - Premium - SGD 56 (250ml)

Where : Not available in Malaysia (have been discontinued in Singapore)

My first time at Origins

Currently I am on an organic & natural product hunt. I have never tried any natural or organic products I guess now is the time. While I was browsing through Origins FB, i came across their promotion and I posted up on my blog as an entry.

After work last Friday, I went to Gardens with my friend to check out Origins. And we ended up buying everything below.

Here is a short summary of the benefits.

1) Sensory Therapy - This is supposed to help you relax and melt all the tension away. Good for mid day stress and to pull you through the day

2) A perfect world starter kit - The key ingredient for this range is white tea which is considered to be one of the world's most potent antioxidants, anti-agers, anti-stress, anti-smoke, anti-pollution antidotes. By the way, this was purchased by my friend so let's see if we can get her to review.

3) Leg Lifts - This is said to be able to de-tense tired calves and thighs. It is also known as Origins seamless pair of stimulating stockings. (This is also purchased by my friend)

4) GinZing Eye Cream - This is a new product from Origins. It is suppose to help brighten and depuff eyes.

And because they are having a promotion, here are all the freebies we receive after we hit RM 350 :)

That is not the end of the freebies. We manage to Hit RM 480. And we get 2 more freebieS.

And more samples...
It was my first time at Origins and i blow quite an amount of cash there and i pulled my friend along to be a "victim" BUT i think we both left the outlet feeling rather happy. I will review all the items once i have used them.

L’Occitane Honey Miel & Lemon Citron Hand Cream

This is one of my favorite hand cream. The 1st Honey Miel & Lemon Citron hand cream I had was a present from a friend. She bought it from the US. I absolutely love the smell. It also really keeps my hand moisturize my hands and keeping it soft. This product contains fresh lemons and the natural sweetness of Provencal bees. It is also enriched in shea butter. No wonder it smells so nice la… I bought myself 2 more tubes from Narita airport last month while I was in Japan.

I went to L’Occitane Mid Valley last week and asked if they carry this range here and to my disappointment, they do not have the hand cream. They only have the shower gel, lip balm and the perfume. Haihhhh…. I hope my friends will be travelling before I run out of stock.

Verdict: Smells Super Duper Nice. A little pricey, but It is worth paying for the scent and also its natural ingredients.

Price: Premium - 1,800 yen approximately RM 72 ( 75ml).

Where: Not available in Malaysia. If you do travel, try looking out for L’Occitane outlets in the airport.
