How I love a Smellin' Good- Feelin' Fine sale!

A.K.A. The Victoria's Secret/The Body Shop Semi-Annual Sales

It's easy to get carried away. As soon as the sales reps give you that oversized black mesh tote... it's hard not stuff it until body sprays, dainty panties and sexywear (a.k.a lingerie) are spilling over. I'll admit it, wearing hot undergarments makes me feel... HOT! But... it's a secret saved for me and my special somebody!

Here's a peak at what I can show you:

This bag was filled w/ stuff from the beauty section. The other larger bag contained 2 PINK bags (one found here) and items found here and here. :) Happy shoppin!

With Love,

The Body Shop

I have always loved The Body Shop. I love entering their store, smelling the fresh, clean scents of all their products and never regretting a thing I buy (with the exception of a toner I once bought that broke me out! But I returned it with no problems and it has since been discontinued. & I learned that my face doesn't like grapeseed.)

I wanted to try some things from their Seaweed skincare line. It's for combination/oily skin which is totally me. I have an oily T-Zone with the occasional stress zit/break-out. Unfortunately most oil-control products contain high levels of salicylic acid. I don't mind salicylic acid- my night repair lotion & toner have very small amounts, but I don't want to add more because it can dry me out, leaves discoloration patches & sometimes makes me break out more.



Here's what I ended up getting:
Seaweed Try-Me Kit

A full size of the Mattifying Cream (they were all out of the SPF lotion, but I can use this as a primer w/my current SPF moisturizer or I can layer it on top of my summer moisturizer which tends to make me more oily than my normal because it has a higher level of SPF)


Cucumber Cleansing Milk

Cucumber Freshening Water

Elderflower Cooling Eye Gel

Tea Tree Oil (maybe this will replace my trusty ZapZyt gel)

Renewed my Love Your Body membership


With Love,
