Hello! I am new around here, I've been posting mostly on TB in TTGP and a bit on TN in GP, but I love fashion and beauty and thought I'd try this out as well.
Does anyone shop at The Body Shop? Anything from there you'd recommend I try or avoid? I've tried their foundation (the pressed powder one) and I am loving it..I also tried the mascara, a lipstick, and a shampoo/conditioner and I am happy with those as well. Thus, I am looking for any other recommendations for things I should try or avoid!

I love The Body Shop. I prefer their shower gels (coconut for moisturizing, and if I can afford it, an amazing aromatherapy one that smells like ginger but is $$) and I like their hand soap, too.
Their hemp foot cream is one of the few I've tried that really softens/makes a difference on my heels. I really like their makeup, too. I have both honey glosses (current), a super-portable shimmer powder/tube that has its own brush at the end (discontinued) and I like their lip/cheek stains, too. I don't use their hair stuff or the body butters (too greasy), but the things I do buy are lovely. I just wish they hadn't closed my favorite location in Georgetown. Now I have to go all the way to Union Station if I want something (I live in D.C.). Still, they have such great sales and with "Love Your Body" discounts and the occasional Groupon deal, I can afford their products even when I'm unemployed, so I make the trek somewhat often.

I am a huge fan of their vitamin E skin care line. I especially love the night cream and the eye cream. Sadly, our store closed a couple of years ago, so I don't get to shop there often. I also like the body butters...it's nice to have so many scent choices!

I like the Hemp Hand Cream and Scrub, shower gels, African Salt Scrub, bamboo brushes, makeup brushes and bamboo combs. I've also found some of my best makeup bags there.
I just got my first order from them last week (we do not have any stores around here so I have to shop online). I bought 3 body butters, 3 lip butters and 4 bars of soap for just over $50. I really like the lip butters. They really moisturize without being sticky and the lemon one smells awesome. The body butters are nice and I haven't tried the soaps yet. I actually bought the soaps for my FI to use since he will only use bar soap in the shower.
