The first product is the Vineyard Peach Body Butter from The Body Shop. This smells incredible and lasts on the skin for about 4-5 hours after application. I have been a huge fan on the Body Butters for a couple of years now as they aren't greasy or sticky, they are smooth and leave my skin moisturised and soft. I have also been pairing this product with the matching shower gel for a layering effect, which worked well. I would defiantely repurchase this product, probably over the warmer months as it is more of a summery scent and would highly recommend the Body Butters for anyone who's skin needs that injection of moisture. These retail for £13, but you can usually get them on an offer, such as 40% off.
The other product I used up from The Body Shop, was the Tea Tree Face Mask. I decided to try this as I have acne prone and blemished skin, but I can't say I saw any improvements in my skin. I used this once or twice a week and it did leave my skin feeling soft, but I couldn't say it 'lifted away impurities' as it claims. The forumlation is quite thick, but you only really need a grape sized amount, so this pot has lasted me around 6 months. If you read my Body Shop Haul post, you will have seen that I haven't repurchased this product, instead I have gone for the clay mask, which I have tried before. For £10 a tub, I really thought this mask would do more for my skin than it did, I wouldn't buy it again or recommend it.
Perfume is not something I finish very often, so to finish two bottles in the same week is quite something! The first is Reb'l Fleur by Rihanna. This was her first fragrance launch back in 2011, which I picked up in New York when it launched over there. This fragrance has top notes of red berries, purple plum and peach. It has heart notes including Hawaiian hibiscus flower and violet, as well as base notes of vanilla, patchouli, amber and musk. This scent is rich and fruity, with a very feminine feel to it. I had the EDP and so it lasted really well on the skin, which is one of the reasons I purchased it. The bottle is very bulky and not really very attractive, but the fragrance really makes up for this, so I would definately repurchase it. I had the 100ml size which retails for £36.50 at The Perfume Shop.
The other perfume empty, which was featured in my perfume collection post, is Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift. I won't describe it in too much detail as that post contains all the notes and a more in-depth description, but it is a truly lovely scent. I have worn this as a day perfume and have recieved some lovely compliments. It is definately a scent I will repurchase once I have ran out of some of my other fragrances. I had the 30ml EDP which retails for £19.50 at The Perfume Shop.
The final and probably least exciting empty, is my current favourite toothpaste, Oral-B's 3D White Brilliance. As many toothpastes claim, this one also does to whiten teeth. Now, I have naturally quite yellow teeth, and so I wanted to look for a product that wouldn't bleach my teeth, but would help restore the natural whiteness. I really like this toothpaste, it has a nice taste which isn't too overpowering and has improved the colour of my teeth. No toothpaste is going to whiten your teeth properly, as only bleaching products can really do that, but I have noticed a difference. A good tip is to wear bright lipstick as that can really make your teeth appear white! Anyway, back to the review. Overall, this is a really nice toothpaste and the only one that has made a visable difference to my teeth. I have already repurchased this product as they were on 2 for £5 at Boots, instead of £3.49 each.
