Review on The Body Shop All-in-One Base Foundation

Review

This foundation was my life saver through school and college. There was just nothing I didn't like about it, it gave me perfect coverage, felt so little on my skin and where I am lily white it gave me a bit of colour without making me look orange!! (Big PLUS for me :D) I first tried this after going to the body shop when I was 14 for one of their free makeover, which took about 30 minutes and when she had finished. The woman gave me a small form telling me all the products she used for my make-up and the make-up brushes she used which are all available to buy. The whole experience of getting my make-up done was lovely, the staff are always so nice and cheerful and she made me feel so comfortable.

Over the last few months The Body Shop has changed the numbering of their All in One Base Foundations, as before I was a 03 which for me is now 035. But also my colour seems to have changed a bit as well as when I have applied this I can see a hint of pink tones. This prices at £14 but if like me you have a Body Shop card you get 10% off plus they are always great deals and offers. 

Although this foundation is more expensive than drugstore foundation personally I think it's a great investment as you only need this for a great base instead of buying a foundation then a setting power. Also i love the fact The Body Shop is against animal testing which is another great plus if you have people in your family who are vegetarians or vegans, as you know it's okay for them to use as its not against their believes or values if you decide to get this for friends or family.

Have you tried this?? Tell me what you think?

Review on Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask from The Body Shop

Review

For Christmas 2011 I recieved a collection of the Seaweed facial products from my Grandad. You can get these facial products from The Body Shop the Seaweed facial products is for Combination Skin, in the set he created for me was a Cleasner, Toner, Moisturiser, Mask, Facial Wash, Cotten Pads, Sponges.

In this review I will be talking about the Facial Mask which was called Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask.

With a facial mask I like it to feel soothing and relaxing like any other girl but sadly this mask after applying it it felt like it was burning my skin and it just got worse the longer I left it on for but I thought i would persist with it and see how my skin felt and looked like when I washed it off. The pot tell you to leave the mask on for 10/15 minutes which I did and my face was bright red like sun burn, was so sore to touch and really tight. The next day the redness had gone down thankfully but my skin was really shiny which made my skin look more greasy than before.

A few months later I decided to give the mask another try when looking through all the products I have and sadly the same thing happened again. But this time the pain was unbarable so I washed it off after 5 minutes. I was really disappointed as everything else in the set made my skin feel so much better. When I ran out of the other products I went to The Body Shop, and couldn't believe the facial mask was £12 which is for 100ml. I felt so upset by the fact it was so expensive and it caused a terrible reaction on my face. So for this I would not recommend this to any of my friends or family.

But please do let me know what you think of this mask if you have ever tried it.
Also here are picture to show I have tried this product I am giving you my opnion on.



Many Thanks
