Empties March - April #1 Body care

 This is my first post and I decided that it is gonna be about empties because they are my favourite posts on other people's blogs and it is also very satisfying to finish a product especially one in a big bottle.

Body care

The Bodyshop Chocomania Shower Cream. I like buying whole range if possible, so if I could at the time I would have probably also bought a handcream at the time (you know you can't resist January sales). It is quite rich collection and with this one, you can really see what shower cream means. Rich texture, chocolaty colour and really smelling of chocolate. I liked it but my older daughter loved it, she always wanted me to give her a shower with this one.

The Bodyshop Chocomania Body Lotion. I am a sucker for body care, especially for body lotions, since my teens. This one is a nice body lotion, again scent made for chocolate lovers.

The Bodyshop Chocomania Body Scrub. Now consistency of this is like sugar crystals soaked in a mixture of oils and chocolate butter which melt as you scrub your body. I think this one would be good for people with dry skin and I personally didn't use body lotion after using this scrub because there was still oil residue everywhere I scrubbed.

Not in the picture The Bodyshop Chocomania Eau de Toilette. It seemed as a nice idea at the time of purchase to smell as a chocolate all over but once I started using it, I didn't really like it. I liked the scent in my bodylotion, bodyscrub and shower cream, but when I put this one on, I just felt like sweaty socks soaked in chocolate butter... I let my children play with it as they liked the smell and once it finished I binned it.

The Bodyshop Coconut Body Butter. I liked this one. Simple. Since it was a compact size, I liked using it also as a hand cream.

The Bodyshop Honeymania Hand Cream. I love the smell honey body care generally so far and Bodyshop hand creams, so this was a no brainer for me. Lovely, lovely fragrance and quick to absorb. Definite repurchase at some point (probably January sales again, hehe).

Yves Rocher Comme Une Evidence Eau de Parfum. Yves Rocher has been a staple in my family for good 15 years, especially their shower gels since my sister was a distributor for a few years. When I came to England I found out that you get a free gift with every order and what else a girl can wish especially if you can get a bottle of a perfume as beautiful as this. I really loved the scent and got complimented when I put it on. It is a nice feminine fragrance, mix of rose and patchouli. Really recommend and if I didn't have lots of others I would probably purchase again. But now maybe as a gift.

Yves Rocher Comme Une Evidence Body Lotion. I liked the perfume but when I applied the body lotion I really felt beautiful and  in perfume heaven. Really, really loved the fragrance of this on my body.

Yves Rocher Lavender Nourishing Foot Cream. Nice compact size to have next to bed and apply to my feet before sleep. Lovely lavender fragrance and kept my feet soft.

Tresemme Keratin Smooth Conditioner. This is supposed to control frizz. I have lightly curly hair and I consider this as a normal conditioner (hair is smooth till I brush it). I bought it mostly because of my daughters. Their mixed raced hair literally soak all hair masks and conditioners so I need something in big bottle and cheap and cheerful.

Avon Naturals Hair Care Super Straight Serum with honey extract and jojoba oil. I bought it in Avon sale for £1. It really is serum. It was nice for my hair, adding a bit of moisture to my dry ends but didn't do much for my daughters' hair. Can't really say anything about the word straight with it because I din't use it for that.

Sample Garnier Ultimate Blends Body Restoring Lotion Honey Treasures. It is stating that it is for very dry skin, but my skin liked it too. It was rich but not greasy and again heavenly fragrance. Will definitely purchase full size at some point.
