Tea tree oil from The Body Shop

At the weekend I went into The Body Shop to buy a new lip balm but whilst in there I had a look at the skincare products. As I suffer from rosacea i'm always trying out new skincare products and routines which will help my skin. When I was at school I used to suffer from typical teenage spots and used to use a tea tree gel from Superdrug which really helped clear spots up, so I thought id give this a go:

The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Foaming Face Wash. It says "instantly lathers up, unclogging pores as it washes away make-up and oil. With added peppermint oil to refresh and cool skin. A cleansing gel that lathers to gently cleanse, lift impurities and make-up while helping to control shine and blemishes". It does come out as a foam and really leaves your skin feeling refreshed.

Im so impressed with this that i'v just placed an order for the normal tea tree oil face wash and skin toner.

I also bought one of there eyeshadows in the colour taupe. Theres currently an offer on Body Shop skin care and make up products (save £5 when you buy 3 items) so I thought i'd add a third item to my order (like it takes much persuading!!)

Enchanting eyes??

For a long time I have been abit concerned about lines and wrinkles. Im only 21 but there is definitely a few faint lines around my eye area so decided that tackling the problem now will hopefully minimise these and prevent anymore (well for a good few years!).

So I started looking.

I ended up buying Lush's Enchanted Eye Cream:

It was £9.30 for a 45g bottle.

There were loads of good reviews for this on the internet plus it says 'gentle, soothing cream to minimise fine lines around the eyes', exactly what I was after.

I got this just over a month ago and have used it everyday since, morning and night, and I can't see any difference at all! I even stopped using it for a few days to see if I noticed the lines (and sometimes eye bags!) any more than normal but I didn't.

It does leave your eye area very soft which could be a good base for concealer but it's not really what I bought it for. I had high hope's for this after reading the reviews and I was very disappointed :(
