My favourite (and many others') scent from the Body Shop! Closely followed by their annual holiday cranberry scent. While it's a little pricey (I bought my gigantic tub for $20, but recently in Canada the prices have been lowered to $16! hallelujah!), there certainly is quite a lot of product in one 200mL tub.
Firstly, the scent - it's very strong. And smell like strawberries. Duh. But if I decide to slather this on after my morning shower I don't wear perfume because it'll clash like crazy. Even in the middle of the day I can still smell this on my skin. So if you're not into strongly-scented body moisturizers I don't recommend this.
Secondly the texture is, quite obviously, like soft butter without being greasy. It's great at moisturizing and feels extremely nice. The residue left on my hands absorbs pretty quickly so I don't get the stuff everywhere either.
Overall highly recommended - smells delicious and moisturizes effectively! What more could you want :)

Probably one of my most favourite scents. Obviously, the smell is very reminiscent of apples. I can tell that there's some cucumber in there as well. It's very fruity, sweet, and light, and is a fragrance I generally like to wear in the summer. It's a casual fragrance and very appropriate for daily wear - not something I'd wear to a party or special event. Like all perfumes, it has the potential to be overpowering due to its sweetness, so I find one spritz is enough, with a touch-up later in the day.
One great thing about this is its price - it's been out for a while now, so it's quite easy to find it on sale. I recently found a 125mL bottle of this for $34.99 at a Winner's, so I snapped it up.
I definitely recommend this if you're into fruity, light, & fun scents! And apples, of course.

The Body Shop Deodry Deodorant

This is an amazing deodorant! I've always been skeptical of the aluminum salts, and as soon as The Body Shop came out with this I purchased it immediately. I got the stick in the zesty scent, which is the green one. Not really a fan of roll-ons. First of all it smells fantastic without being overpowering! The green one is definitely my favourite scent but the pink and blue one are really nice too. It has never left a stain on my white/lighter-coloured shirts like other deodorants have (Dove Go Fresh -_-), plus it does work as an anti-perspirant! Very impressed. A little more pricey than the deodorants you get from Wal-Mart or something, but I think it's worth it. -

I bought a tin of this in Sephora because I really love the packaging and also it was the biggest tin of lip balm I'd ever seen, despite its expensive cost. Firstly, I don't really smell roses when I open it. It smells more like baby powder. Haha. I don't mind it though. The lip balm is also a pretty colour and works quite well to moisturize your lips. I know some people use it religiously on EVERYTHING (cuticles, rough elbows, etc.) but I just use it as a lip balm and it works fine for that. It's pretty much just glorified petroleum jelly (Vaseline), so it feels greasy but it works well. I recommend it for the sheer amount of product in this tin! I've had it for such a long time now and I still haven't hit pan on it. -

I absolutely love these!
I've always been a faithful Always user but I just absolutely hated how their pads felt and sounded like a diaper when you walk. It was extremely uncomfortable, they did not absorb as quickly, and were quite thick. I hated standing up after sitting for a while because it just felt so nasty. Maybe some of you know what I mean. Haha. But every other pad out there was also like this so I just used Always anyway.
When they came out with these, I got a sample and was amazed. It was SO thin and soft, but absorbs amazingly! The top layer seems to have these holes and the flow kind of goes under the top layer to the bottom layer. So after using a pad and you turn it over, you'll notice more flow down there than you actually see on the top. That actually keeps the pad really comfortable, since it absorbs so fast and feels dry all the time.
The only downside is maybe the price. But I think they are miles better than the old pads so in my opinion, they are worth it! I only buy these now. Also I don't recommend this if your flow is super heavy & you experience leaks even with the super-thick Always pads. Mine is moderate-light so these work perfectly.
