Vichy Idéalia Product Review

Vichy Idéalia

During the last few years I’ve noticed a gradual change in my skin. As someone who has combination skin, keeping oiliness at bay and adding minimal moisturization was my skincare ritual for years. However, over the last few years one of the biggest changes I’ve experienced is just how dry my skin has become outside of my T-zone.

The Body Shop Italian Summer Fig Review

With the transition to Spring come softer colour palettes, greener landscapes, pretty flowers and of course fresh and fruity scents for the warm season ahead. Synonymous with Spring come trips to The Body Shop to re-stock different flavours of body butter (papaya and mango being my faves) for skin baring season. Although I hadn’t stepped out of the products that I know and love so well (fragrant oils and body butters), I’ve always had my eye on what I would call their ‘adult fragrance line’. And so I was stoked when I received some pieces from their spring/summer collection to try out.

The Italian Summer Fig. It really is quite a delightful scent. Not overpowering, it delivers a fresh yet subtle fruity fragrance. The perfect summer counterpart Continue reading “The Body Shop Italian Summer Fig Review”
