The Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-Oil review

I have been wanting to try a serum for a while now, but I didn't want to go for one that was too pricey incase I didn't like the feel of them etc. I got the oppertunity to buy this Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-Oil on offer a few months ago (read the haul in this post). 

To be honest I wasn't expecting that much from this product, but I was pleasantly surprised. You squeeze a couple of drops onto your palms and rub them together a couple of times to warm the serum up. You then just rub it into your face before applying your moisturiser. I found that this left my skin feeling really nourished, and even though my skin is oily I still tend to get try patches and this product seemed to cure them overnight. I really feel like its sinking into my skin after I apply it, and I am one of those people that likes to apply a rich moisturiser before bed so that I wake up with lovely soft skin, and this product really helps me achieve that.

If your skin is feeling a little dry or unloved I would definitely recommend this product. For me it feels like I've added a little touch of luxury to my skincare routine. It has really made me want to try other serums too. 

You can buy this product from The Body Shop here. It is extremely well priced when comparing to other serums on the market and is great if like me you want to try something a little cheaper that still does a great job.  

Have you tried The Body Shop Vitamin E Serum? I would love to know what you thought!

NB: This post was scheduled before I went to America. I will currently be sunning it up and won't be back until mid September, so I apologise for any late replies to comments etc! I will get back to you when I can! x

Body Shop Haul

*Yep that's my Finding Nemo poster in the corner of the pic there, sorry I couldn't bare to take it down!

Hello Lovelies! I hope you all had a lovely Valentine's weekend, whether you're all loved up or enjoying life as a singleton. So it may have been over a week since I last posted.. Oops! That's not by choice, but time seems to be flying by recently! I have my dissertation due in March and I've just been working on that every spare minute! I finally finished sorting through all my data today, so I thought I would treat myself to a little blogging time! :) 

Haul posts are very rare from me at the moment, as I'm trying to save every penny for America which means not spending lots on hauls!! However I feel I can be excused with this one as it was an absolute bargain!

I was drawn into The Body Shop because they had a 20% off offer for anyone who owned a loyalty card and I'd been eyeing up there Vitamin E Face Mist for a while so I thought I'd take advantage! However, as you can see, I ended up getting a lot more. Alas, I soon fell for their multiple offers and good customer service and ended up buying so much more. 

It was my birthday in December but I never had chance to use my £5 off (courtesy of the loyalty card) but the lovely lady said I could use it then anyway. However, she also informed me that if I spent £18 I would get a free gift set worth £22.50, which contained the Big and Curvy Mascara, eyeliner in black, Vitamin E Cream Cleanser and Vitamin E Sink-in Moisture Mask. Of course I had to spend a little more to get this offer, so I picked up the Warming Mineral Face Mask and the Moisture Surging kit, which was on offer for £16 (worth £23) and includes the Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-oil and the Vitamin E Intense Moisture Cream.

A lot right?! You're probably thinking I've spent a fortune.. However it only came to £22.50 with all the offers! I am a very happy bunny it's safe to say! Plus it seems that I get to try out most of their Vitamin E range! My skin has been breaking out quite a lot lately, which I think is a combination of stress and harsh weather conditions! I haven't had chance to fully test all the products yet, but I can already recommend the Warming Mineral Face Mask after using it just twice, as my skin has been quite dry around my forehead and this really felt like it cleaned out my skin but gave it a good moisture boost too! I am loving the Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-oil (what a mouthful?!) too! I have wanted to try a serum for a while now, and I have to say it just feels luxurious applying it at night, I applied the Vitamin E Intense Moisture Cream over the top (I feel they are meant to be used together) and I had a feeling that as my skin is quite oily already I would wake up feeling very greasy, but not at all! In fact better than usual. My skin felt so much better too just after one use. I am so fussy when it comes to moisturisers too so I am already expecting great things from this one! 

I'm yet to try the mascara and eyeliner as I already have some on the go, and have only used the cleanser and face mist once, but I will let you know how I find them.

Have you tried any of The Body Shop's Vitamin E range lately? How did you find it?
