A sneak peek: The Body Shop Extra Virgin Minerals foundations

 Here’s what’s going to be available at The Body Shop this coming August 29.

BE RADIANT Extra Virgin Minerals™ Loose Powder Foundation SPF 25

BE FRESH New Extra Virgin Minerals™ Liquid Foundation SPF 30

BE MATTE New Extra Virgin Minerals™ Cream Compact Foundation SPF 15

 So, The Body Shop has finally decided to join the minerals bandwagon. This is what they have to say about the much anticipated products.

This is the first mineral make-up collection from the Body Shop to feature an exclusive combination of award-winning 100%Community Fair Trade pure cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil and ultra-fine mineral pigments, for foundation that’s in total affinity with the skin. As a result of being so finely milled, the 100% mineral pigments make the foundations incredibly easy to blend, so you enjoy natural-looking flawless results. Wonderfully weightless for a ‘barely-there’ sensation, this mineral make-up is actually good for your complexion as it contains SPF, to help protect the natural beauty of your skin. Each non-irritating formula is fragrance and paraben-free and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and blemished skin – each foundation is non-comedogenic, meaning that it won’t block pores and lets skin breathe. The three formats are also available in suit-all shades, to help you achieve the perfect look.

I just love mineral make-up. Don’t we all? No matter what others say about mineral make-up, I believe they are much more gentle on our skin.

Therefore, I personally cannot wait to give these products a try.

The Body Shop Moisture White review and Earth Lovers Shower Gels GIVEAWAY!

Last Wednesday (Mar 16) morning, I woke up to goodies from The Body Shop. One was a basket full of shower gels and the other facial products.

I was of course excited to have received all the items which came in a cute picnic basket (sorry no picture). But what made my day was the Moisture White Shiso BB Cream (happy dance!).


As you all know, I’m an advocate (a very BIG fan) of BB creams. Thus, I couldn’t wait to try it out.

The Body Shop recently introduced their first BB cream as part of their Moisture White line.  At S$32.90, the Shiso BB Cream comes with SPF25 PA+++ and is suitable for all skin types with beneficial ingredients like Shiso, Vitamin C, Liquorice and Community Fair Trade Aloe Vera.
