Smell - No, Radhika Jha, I'm not trying to steal your thunder....

Maybe I never said this before but The Body Shop has to be one of my favorite places to be at (after Jarir Bookstore and Crossword)! And before you can think that it just came here two years back or something and I'm proudly confessing it now, let me tell you that I've been in Saudi Arabia before so I luckily had the benefit of the prolonged experience of The Body Shop for a very long time now. There has never been a better-smelling place in the world as far as fragrance and bath shops go (I'm still looking for the Bath & Body Works Store somewhere here in Bombay but no luck as of yet). I've just discovered newer products that I would want to invest in like Deep Sleep - a Dreamy Pillow and Body Mist (By far, the most coolest and innovative product I've come across...It's a Mist you can spray on your pillow or yor clothes and you fall into a deep sleep as the name suggests...Mmmm...feel nice already hearing about it?), Green Apple Blossom Shower Gel - Yummy, Rougeberry Eau de toilette - Hope it comes to the outlets here!, Aqua Lily, Japanese Cherry Blossom Perfume, Wild Cherry Shower Gel---How awesome must that be! etc etc... I can go on ad infinitum. All I know is that if I had a salary, it would be clinking in the cashier-drawers at the Body Shop! The smells are so fricking inviting, it's like you step into a Magical place where flowers and fragrances and mists swivel you up in swirl of color and draw you in! The notes they use in their fragrances are so different and cool and interesting. The packaging of the products are damn attractive, too...like the Peppermint Foot Cream in bright blue tubs.


The Lip Butters and Lip Balms are, from a personal experience, to die for. They smell incredible and suitably serve for attracting the boys...hehe...as far as my friends who have tried and tested them. My two very favorites are Cranberry Shimmer(Yes, it's got flecks of gold in them!) and Raspberry - the yummiest. However, I've come to the recipe for instantaneous supple and gorgeous lips is to apply a little of any of the lip butters with any of the balms and your lips look super-cool! The Body Butters are very cool, too...I had the benefit of receiving a Strawberry Scented one for my birthday last year and yeah, well my skin was super smooth while it lasted! :(
And I absolutely have got to get their environment-supporting cloth bag, I mean, I'm saving the environment right? Might as well fully commit to it in my cool indulgence.
