Christmas Spoils

My family knows that I love The Body Shop which is always a good thing! I was so excited to be given a few Body Shop products as gifts for Christmas!

I unwrapped a very pretty tube of selection shower gels from my mom. I think these mini 60ml bottles are the perfect way to get a little bit of all the best scented gels. It's also a really good idea if you don't know which scent you would like. I have only ever tried the Strawberry scent of this collection so it will be a nice change to get to try different gels.

The second gift, I actually picked myself. My boyfriend is not one to mess around with guessing what I need or like so when doing Christmas shopping for the family, he pulled me into the Body Shop and said "choose!". I needed a new day moisturiser and was tired of the heavy pore blocking lotions I'm used to so I settled for the Aloe Soothing Day Cream which has worked amazingly on my skin so far. I hope to do a full review for you soon.

Thanks to my awesome family for knowing me so well!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all my amazing visitors!!

Here are some of my favourite pictures from all the Christmas giveaway entries.

I hope you have a fantastic day with family and friends and you get to eat great food :)

Nail Polish Advent Calendar? Yes Please!!

Oh.em.gee! Where was I when this nail polish advent calendar first went viral online!?

It seems that Ciate, a nail polish brand from the UK, is the #1 trend setting brand in the nail polish industry right now. If you remember from some of my previous posts, Ciate is the brand that originally came up with the caviar manicure as well as the velvet 'flocking powder' manicure.

This Christmas, Ciate has designed this exciting nail polish advent calendar for ladies who have need for a new polish every day, leading up to Christmas, which is majority of ladies out there. If you're not such a nail fanatic then this could just be an excuse to expand your nail polish collection and widen your colour selection as there are some great colours in the calendar. I would definitely wake up in a good mood every day if I knew I would be gaining a new nail polish companion.

Unfortunately all the polishes in the calendar are mini versions of the full sized bottles but they contain more than enough for quite a few manicures. I also haven't gotten to try the brand yet so I can't really comment on quality, wear-ability and colour payoff. I have done a search online and the advent calendar goes for about R550, excluding shipping fees, but you are welcome to contact the South African supplier of Ciate here, they may have a few of the calendars here in SA. *Holding tumbs*

It would be a tad late to purchase the calendar now but I will definitely consider splurging next year as a Christmas gift to myself! Would this advent calendar bring the kid out in you?

Smells like Christmas

I am beyond excited to see that The Body Shop has 3 special ranges in the spirit of Christmas. They are Merry Cranberry, Vanilla Bliss-mas and Ginger Bells!

Here is a pic of the flyer I received with all the info on the Christmas-ey products:

I have my eyes and nose tuned in to the Ginger Bells, which sounds utterly delish and 100% Christmas-ey (I love eating ginger treats at Christmas time)! There is also a reason for me sharing this information; The Body Shop has a 3 for 2 special on at the moment so you could save a lot of money if you start your Christmas shopping early.

Follow The Body Shop on Twitter and like their Facebook Page.

I think these products are really special and I wouldn't mind getting them for Christmas ;)
