This mascara is Really nice! Great size and value. I do not have any issues with clumping or smudging. The only thing is that it is Not water proof so I do have to keep eyes wide open until it sets but that does not take too long. Very volumizing. I am very picky about mascara and very satisfied with this one. Also not a hassle to remove at night which is another plus!

Mojito Scrub: Awesome scent! Very moisturizing (I have dry skin) It moisturizes my skin very nicely. The surprise was the microbeads. I thought they would dissolve in the water and not exfoliate well....but not the case! This scrub is a gel based product and is absolutely wonderful. Now keep in mind I use a scrub daily and some are 'scrubbier' than others....but this one does a very good job!
The body butter and shower gel are also absolutely wonderful....
I love how TBS has all sorts of consistencies and scents for their scrubs. This Mojito was a surprising Delight and I will buy again and recommend!

Shea Body Scrub: I LOVE TBS products and especially the body scrubs....(I have tried Mango, Mojito Lime, Coconut and now the Shea scrub). My first body scrub purchase was the Mango and because I have Dry Skin it was absolutely Fantastic! Based on the reviews and verbiage that Shea Scrub was for 'very' dry skin, I thought this would work super great on my skin.
I just bought a jar of this and tried it three times before reviewing. I LOVE the scent - but am disappointed in the moisturizing capabilities. In summer my skin is 'normal to dry' and in winter it is 'dry'. It is summertime as I type this review, and my skin is not nearly as dry as it gets in the winter. When I use the mango scrub I don't even need body butter after (although I use it any way to layer for scent! ) but with the Shea Scrub I absolutely have to put on body butter after as it does not moisturize enough. I am wondering if the product has gone through some changes??? As a matter of fact, the Mojito Lime scrub is way more moisturizing than the Shea, which is odd based on the verbiage for each product that TBS puts out. (Also, all of the Virgin Mojito line is amazing and you should try it!!)
Although I LOVE the mango scrub, I am needing to find a body scrub with a SCENT that is more appropriate for the colder season, but that still moisturizes my skin as much as the Mango.....Unfortunately it is not going to be the Shea Body Scrub.......Still looking.

Coconut Body Scrub: I started using TBS products a bit over a year ago and am LOVING the Body Scrubs (as well as the skin care lines)
I have dry skin and think it is absolutely critical to purchase a body butter or scrub or skin care line based on the type of skin you have. Having said that, I LOVE this scrub. It is not as moisturizing as the Mango (which is my absolute favorite) and feels more scrubby than the Mango. The scent is a bit more subtle than I had hoped, and not as sweet as I would like it to be. However, because it is not super sweet, I think it will be a very nice scent to carry me from Summer into Autumn and even Winter as it is for dry skin.
I am going to purchase the matching Body Butter now!
VERY IMPORTANT: TBS - thank you for NOT testing on animals. Very grateful that you don't!!

Vitamin E Face Mist: I have dry skin and have always struggled to 'set' my foundation because I do not like to use powders on my face. I like moisturizing foundations, but when I use a powder to set my makeup, it only works for an hour or so, and it also makes my face look very matte and dry and every pore and wrinkle is magnified.
Recently I purchased 'Skin Primer Moisturize It" from TBS and then put my makeup on and then set it with the Vitamin E Face Mist. My face looks soooo dewey and moist and soft and I don't have to do anything other than a minor touch up of my lipstick....
The Mist works beautifully and smells so soft and feminine!
I had never used a liquid mist to set my make-up before and didn't understand how it could work as I had always used a dry powder....but the mist is similar to hair spray for your hair - without the stickiness - but whatever is in this bottle, it works, it sets your makeup - it smells great and it makes your make up last a lot longer. Give it a try!

Where's the Mint???

I bought the Scrub, Body Wash and Body Butter. It smells great BUT......where's the Mint???
I love the lime scent - it is perfect for Summer and very fresh and feminine....If it did not have a picture of a mint leaf I would have been satisfied with the scent in its current form.....HOWEVER, I LOVE the smell of mint, and expected to have it in the mix with the lime....Nope....not there!
I love the performance of the shower gel, the scrub is very nice and the body butter is good. I have dry skin so it is not as moisturizing as Shea or Mango, but very nice nonetheless.
If this just had a picture of a lime I would have given it a 5....but the expectation of mint made me reduce to a four.
Having said that, I wish the Body Shop would make MORE herbal scented fresh type of products. There are many 'nutty' scents which are perfect for winter, and Lots of fruity scents.....but aside from Mojito and Figi Green Tea, there are not a lot of fresh herbal scents for us folks who adore herbal (not woodsy, just herbal)

Pomegranate Night Cream: I get a kick out of the reviewers under 25 that are reviewing this night cream and saying they are not seeing any results! This night cream is designed for those of us that have clear signs of aging.....if that fits you then you WILL definitely see a plumper, fresher, more moisturized face after using this for only a couple of days!
Also, this is THE MOST moisturizing cream I have ever found which is wonderful as I have dry skin. However, I do understand that those with oily, combo or even normal skin will find it uncomfortable.
It is an AMAZING product for dry skin and for skin with signs of aging. If that does not fit you, then you may not be impressed with this cream.
I also was told by my skin advisor at the TBS mall store that this Pomegranate line will be discontinued at the end of this year (2015) What a shame as I just now found it....I also hear that WiseWoman was a wonderful line and also discontinued. I ALSO hear that the NEW line for us more mature gals is going to contain lots of essential oils....I truly hope it contains "plumping" agents and that it is a superior product. TBS has a good line for every other type of skin - but if Pomegranate is being discontinued then TBS needs a good line for dry skin and mature skin.
NOTE TO TBS: PLEASE make the Shiso skin care line available at the mall stores. The reviews sound amazing and many of the reviewers are not Asian and so it seems this skincare line is wonderful for many nationalities and skin types.

Satsuma Body Butter: I made a large purchase at the Body Shop store in the mall so got to select a free body butter! I wanted something nice for summer and the Satsuma sounded Fresh and Citrus-like so I took a quick whiff at the store and bought it. When I took it home, I was excited to use it and opened the lid and took a longer whiff (I like to do that for relaxing, aroma-therapy). Maybe it was because I took a longer whiff than when I was at the store, but I detected something "chemical' in the smell. So, I put a very small amount on my hands, and wow - definitely smelled the chemicals mixed with the orange citrus......I took it back to the store and spoke to the skin adviser at the shop and he recommended Mango since it is also fresh and for summertime and made specifically for dry skin. I LOVE the Mango and also got the body scrub.
Thank you TBS for making it so uncomplicated to return a product for something that works better for your taste and skin type!

I heard so many wonderful things about the Papaya Body Butter so when it came on sale 50% off, I bought a tub. First, the scent is wonderful and very much like the Mango, except not as strong, and definitely not the staying power of the Mango. The Papaya scent does not last as long - maybe about an hour at the most, which is disappointing. Next, it did not moisturize as well as the Mango does for me. I have dry skin and require a really good moisturizing body butter and therefore love the Mango.
If you have normal, combo or oily skin, the Papaya may be a very good alternative to the Mango for you. I would recommend to folks who do not have dry skin.....but if you have dry skin, then the Mango is your best bet!

Lets start with the smell - it is awesome! I typically don't go for fruity scents....but this one is so fun and so flirty and so great for summer.
This is also a very wonderful body butter for those of us with dry skin. I suppose it would be wonderful during the winter months because it is specifically made for dry skin....but also if you swim a lot in the summer months, it is great after you swim and shower. The matching scrub is awesome and great to layer the two together!

Vitamin C Facial Radiance Capsules
Do the V C capsules help even out skin tone and hyper pigmentation?
I have dry skin so I cannot use the Tea Tree or Seaweed products and the Shiso line is only available online so am wondering if the Vitamin C caps or Boost will help???

Our Vitamin E Body Butter is an intensive, creamy all-over body moisturizer containing Vitamin E, Community Trade shea butter, and cocoa butter. It absorbs easily, helping to condition, soften and smooth the skin, leaving your skin moisturized for up to 24 hours.
I own the Limited Edition Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet, and I am in love with the scent. By any chance, does the Vitamin E Body Butter smell identical?
Thank you so much for your time!
I own a tub of the Vitamin E Body Butter, as well as the gentle face cream, toner, day cream, night cream, and the face mist (which absolutely rocks) plus some samples of the serum. They all smell very similar to each other BUT not exactly the same as each other. Somewhat of a light, soft, feminine scent, almost with a hint of rose, but not quite....anyway, I am not sure what the sorbet smells like as I do not use sorbet (my skin is dry) but all of this line that I have used thus far smells wonderful and I love the Vitamin E body butter.
I have many of the other body butter scents and use them during the day (switching out depending on the weather and my mood) but for night time before bed, the Vitamin E is very soft and relaxing and just puts me in the mood to fall asleep!
I definitely recommend it!! ;-)
Hope this helps!

An instant cooling sensation for all day hydration. This silky-soft moisturizer hydrates and refreshes skin with an ultra-light formula
Dry skin
Does anyone know if this will help dry skin.My facial skin gets dry and I am struggling to find something that works long term.My other vit e creams don't work as well as they used to so I am looking to try something new.
I also have dry facial skin and I love the Vitamin E skincare line from The Body Shop. However, because my skin is Dry, I gravitate towards creams rather than sorbets and definitely the original Vitamin E formula rather than the Aqua Boost, which I have sampled and is too light for my dry skin. Try the Original Night Cream - I even use that one during the day when I am feeling extra dry and it is wonderful. Hope this helps! ;-)
