Once again, I've been lucky enough to receive The Body Shop Advent Calendar, and it's the only time my eldest actually shows interest in my reviews. In fact, she badgers me consistently as if I've been lucky enough to receive one, I always gift her as part of her main Christmas present. However, this year I can firmly hands down say we are sharing this!
There are 3 different calendars to choose from, ranging from £55, £95 to £145 and in the past, I have reviewed all the price brackets. All have astonishing savings and all of them have the delectable 'pop up' design that makes them so unique. The one I've reviewed today costs £55 and is worth £95.50, and I have to say, that I find it just as good as the one from last year (the £145), as it contains most of their best-selling items but in travel sizes (which I personally prefer, as I'm often too impatient to use a full size one)!
The box contains 2 neatly filled rows of smaller boxes, each tightly packed into the create a jigsaw of surprises. Every box has an inspiring message, which makes the advent even more special. I also love the idea that you can gift the individual boxes, if you prefer to give away a product (although I would find these hard to part with).
I don't wish to ruin the element of surprise, however, have opened a couple of the boxes so you can have a sneak peek at what's inside.
No 8 'Your nourishing Mango Body Butter is made with 96% ingredients of natural origin: sustainably sourced Community Fair Trade mango seed oil from India; handcrafted Community Fair Trade shea butter from Ghana; and Community Fair Trade Brazil nut oil from Peru. Rub in and enjoy its rich and creamy texture this Christmas'. For those who have never tried the Body Butters, they are simply the best in leaving skin feeling, soft, supple and nourished. The 50ml size has enough to last at least a week as you only need a small amount. Use all over the body or as I do, and massage into your feet in the evening, pop cotton socks on and you'll have the softest feet in the morning. Delicately scented, these leave the skin smelling lightly of sweet mango.
No 1 'We are counting down to Christmas by sharing our wishes for a fairer, more wonderful world. For the next 23 days, let's meet some of our Community Fair Trade partners and discover how this programme helps us to be a force for good. This box contains the fruity, fizzy and most scrumptious Strawberry Shower Gel that makes showering a lot of fun. The smell fills the bathroom with a sweet, berry fragrance and leaves skin feeling good enough to eat! Kids love this, adults love this - it really is a shower gel that brings a smile to your face.
Of course, on the back of the box is a full list of products so scroll on down if you don't wish to see!
The Body Shop pride themselves on leading the way in sustainability and sourcing ethically, as well as using recyclable materials. In this box you will find products made with mango seed oil, collected by the women mango collectors in Chhattisgarh, India. By purchasing this item, you help support them with their income. The products are of course cruelty free and many of them are vegan too. Check out the rest of the calendars here but be quick as they are selling very fast! www.thebodyshop.com
