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

My Sleeping Products

Stress at work and other forms of stress really does make me have problem sleeping. That is why I fancy sleeping range products (regardless of whether it works or not). I don’t think there is a lot of sleeping range products available here in Malaysia though. I have previously reviewed the Faceshop Rasberry Sleeping Mask (it does not help you sleep, but it is an overnight mask that you can wear to bed). Today I am going to review 2 products that are said to help you sleep better.

This Bath & Body Works Lavender Chamomile hand cream was a gift from a friend. Bath & Body Works is a US brand & sadly, this brand is not available in Malaysia :( I wish it will come to our shore some day. This cream contains Lavender and Chamomile essential oils that soothes calms and enhance your sleep. I really like the smell and also the texture. It has a pleasantly relaxing scent. I tried going to their website and purchase the rest of the product from this range BUT it is so sad because they do not deliver outside the US. Haihhhh….that is also why I am using this product sloooowwwly.

Another sleeping product that I have tried is Quiet Night Dreamy Pillow and Body Mist. This mist contains Jujube date extracts and Chamomile. I do not fancy the scent too much but it is kind of relaxing. I normally spritz on my pillow, blanket, and bolster. You may ask why I spritz at so many places? This is because the scent does not last; it vaporizes after about 5 minutes. On the instruction it says “night time movement releases the natural fragrance” but I seriously do not smell anything after 5 minutes.

Verdict: To be honest, these sleeping range does not help you sleep, but it helps you to relax. So do not think that these will let you sleep like a baby, it does NOT. They just release a relaxing scent. As for The Body Shop’s body mist, I do not think it is worth investing because I do not like the scent and it is not long lasting.
