Two weeks ago I was invited along to the opening of the newly refurbished The Body Shop Cork store on Oliver Plunkett Street. The stores new look is lovely and fresh with clean white brick on the walls and a new layout which makes it easier to find everything you're looking for. The products which I was most looking forward to seeing were from the XM14 collection, especially the newest addition of products - the Glazed Apple Collection. Glazed Apple is replacing the Sparkling Gingerbread range which was part of the Christmas collection last year and I have to say that I much prefer the scent of the Glazed Apple Collection. I loved the products so much that my lovely fiance, who very kindly came along with me (I'm so socially awkward!) picked me up some of my favourite products from the range.
The first product I fell in love with from the range is the Glazed Apple Body Butter which is €18.95 for a large tub. The minute I opened this I immediately fell in love with the scent. It's smells like delicious sweet apple and is a scent which lingers on the skin - something I love when it comes to body butters. The Body Shop body butters have always been a firm favourite of mine with their thick, smooth texture and this one is no different. As you can see I've been using it since I got it and my skin is so smooth, highly moisturised and smelling great from this - I love it!
The Glazed Apple Sparkler immediately caught my eye when I went into the store as I have two of these already from the Cranberry and Gingerbread sparkle ranges. I love the old fashioned look of this product with the soft pump and the addition of the little red bow just makes it the perfect festive product to have sitting on my dressing table. This is filled with apple scented, glittery loveliness which I spray in my hair and onto my collar bone and tops during the festive season. This is €22.50 a bottle.
I'm trying to be better with my skincare routine and I have no excuse really now that I have my new body butter and this gorgeous Glazed Apple Shimmer Lotion. This is €13.50 a bottle and is worth every penny. This is a lightweight moisturiser which is infused with sparkle and you can really see it once it goes onto the skin. It absorbs into the skin really quickly leaving it shining with sparkle and smelling of sweet apple, it's such a gorgeous product.
Finally I got the Glazed Apple Body Polish which I use in the shower. This is an exfoliating body polish which smells gorgeously of apple and it has little scrubby bits in it to buff away dead skin cells leaving skin feeling really soft and smooth. This has an almost milky like texture when used in the shower and it really is lovely on the skin. This is €14.50 a tube.
I'm loving my new products and least to say my skin is both highly moisturised and smelling sweetly of apple since I began using these products two weeks ago. It's great to find products which are great for your skin but which you genuinely enjoy using too. I'm super impressed with this new addition to The Body Shop Christmas range. These will be products I'll be stocking up on again once they're finished, if I can get my hands on them, if not I'll just have to wait until next year.
You can find all the products in the Glazed Apple range here.
Have you tried any of the products from this new range yet?
I love pretty much everything at The Body Shop. I have not tried this collection, though. I bet it smells AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteThey have the most gorgeous products don't they? This collection really does smell amazing.
DeleteI haven't tried this one. I haven't bought anything apple scented since my teens I am going to have to check this collection out! I have a feeling my niece would love it!

Loving all those Body Shop creams. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteI always love the sound of the Body Shop products. I have not tried these ones yet, but will definitely check out the Body Butter.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely do, I highly recommend it!
DeleteI love The Body Shop! Their body butters are a staple in my beauty regime. I haven't tried the holiday selections, but the glazed apple does sound great. Next time I'm by there which will be soon as The Body Shop is great for holiday gifts…I will check it out.
ReplyDeleteI love The Body Shop scents, I haven't tried this glazed apple one yet but I'm definitely going too. This would be the perfect gift idea for a few girls I know, I have been wondering what I could get them and this little collection seems perfect. I had seen some body scents collections at Walmart and Target but you just never know if they're any good or not, I know The Body Shop will not disappoint though. I really love the bright green color, very festive.
ReplyDeleteGotta love the body shop-- everything there smells so good!
ReplyDeleteI love the body shop!!!!!! One of my favorite stores!!!! This apple sounds pretty fabulous

ReplyDeleteI would love this apple scented lotion. yumm The body shop always has amazing scents.
ReplyDeleteI used to buy the Fressia scented stuff from BBW, but I am so hard to buy scents for. I get stuck on one scent and that is all I want!
ReplyDeleteI think this is going to be amazing. First your pictures are selling me so detailed. I love the sound of Glazed Apples sounds like it will smell so yummy I am very interested. I definitely will have to visit The Body Shop in the near future to check out the smell and products for myself!

ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great collection. I bet it all smells really good. I may pick up a couple for gifts.
ReplyDeleteI'm big on apple scented things so I'm sure I would LOVE this! I'd love to try them all, the whole collection sounds great! I'll have to start hinting to my hubby!
ReplyDeleteSince my skin ranges from normal to dry, I often use body butter because it makes your skin feel velvety smooth and soft. I may have to try the glazed apple scent. It sounds so delightful.
ReplyDeleteOh yes I would love to try this, I bet it smells so yummy! I love The Body Shop :)
ReplyDeleteThose products look really nice! I loved the shimmer and I bet is smelled amazing.
ReplyDeleteIf that isn't the coolest packaging design, I don't know what is. As I'm looking at it, I can just imagine how satisfying the scent must be. I also have this urge to eat one of the green apples in my fridge. I would love to receive this collection as a gift.
ReplyDeleteThose products look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI haven't noticed that in Body Shop. I wonder if they are already available in the body shop in my area. I'd love to try those as a set too because I don't like using different scents which make me dizzy and confused on the mix mash of scents lol. I can't imagine what glazed apple scent smells like. Does it make you want to eat it?
ReplyDeleteI love this line! It is so pretty and I love the scent too!
ReplyDeleteI have a weak spot for the Body Shop. I love the way all of their products smell. Thanks for this great recommendation!
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome post indeed. I love the scent of apples and these products would make a great gift for sure. They all sound amazing and I will have to try them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI've tried product from the Body Shop before and they are great indeed. Never tried this exact range, though. Thanks for the brief review - I think I'll check out the body butter next time, it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to try the body polish. The whole line sounds nice though.
ReplyDeleteI love the apple smell! I have used Body Shop products before as well and I always loved the variety of scents that they have available. Thanks for sharing!
