It’s Yummy! The Body Shop #Giveaway

By

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only. 

Ever since these products arrived on my doorstep, I’ve been like a kid in a candy shop. Or a woman in a makeup store. And that store would be The Body Shop, of course. Pretty, shiny things? Oooh… yes please.

Line them up. Arrange them like so. Marvel at their dewiness. Inhale their sweet scent. They’re just like little toys! And repeat…. Line them up. Arrange them like so….

Have you ever played with your makeup? The Body Shop’s new Yummy range of lip glosses is irresistible for collectors – especially those who like to covet beauty products. Style-queens will love the clean lines and simple design of the chic new packs. Each transparent lip gloss tube features a bold image of its fruity flavour and shows-off the gorgeous gloss colour within. You’ll want to own them all… just to say you own them all!

There are 11 super-glossy, mouth-watering shades to choose from, each with a succulent fruity flavour to lift your mood. Love seasonal fruits? Then slick on the Plum, Peach or Strawberry. Fancy something more exotic? Try the Mango, Lychee or Coconut. Looking for a refreshing hue? Have a sip of the Mint or Watermelon. Want to go wild? Mix them as you like! And if you hate sticky but love sweet, each super-shiny shade delivers a glaze of sheer colour that’s non-sticky and lightweight to wear. The new formula is enriched with vitamins E and B5 and Community Fair Trade organic virgin coconut oil. Perfect for a dewy spring look! Priced at $10, these juicy lip glosses are a treat for you and your friends.

I must admit that I’ve never been a fan of watermelon lip gloss – there’s just something about the synthetic fragrance that doesn’t do it for me. However, I am crushing on the new Yummy Watermelon! It’s so fresh and fragrant, it makes me think of summer barbecues. Ah, dreaming of warmer weather!

If you can’t get enough of your favourite yummy lip gloss, The Body Shop has captured the scents of your best-loved ingredients in a new collection of Eau de Toilettes – all at a great value ($14). Available in-store and online in March 2013, choose from eight addictive fragrances (left to right): Pink Grapefruit, Coconut, Vanilla, Satsuma, Shea, Moringa, Mango and Strawberry, each featuring extracts from nature. Simply spritz onto your pulse points for a targeted burst of light and wearable scent. Be proud to wear your fave – day and night!

I liberally sprayed Strawberry and Satsuma – it was a throwback to the days when I worked at The Body Shop!

(Back in the mid 90’s, Satsuma had just been introduced. Let me tell you, it was the SHIZZLE. We would receive stock – then sell out – and receive more stock – and sell out again. It’s official: in 1996, Canadian women smelled like Japanese oranges.)

The Eau de Toilettes will especially resonate with the younger crowd (teens and tweens) – or single women who are looking to drive men wild <<- read postgradlife’s Vanilla Perfume Challenge. My two little guys particularly love when I spritz on Shea and Coconut – “You smell like a yummy mummy!” … Hey, I’m not arguing.

Love these as gifting ideas for:

– a tropical or destination-themed bridal shower
– a get-well present; simply include a few lip glosses with a basket of fresh fruit
– a thoughtful “Beat the Winter Blahs” kit
– a thank you gift; include a handmade card that says “You’re the Sweetest Friend Ever!”
– for a new Yummy Mummy, of course!

The Body Shop Lip Gloss collection ($10 each) is available in-store and online now, and the Eau de Toilette range ($14 each) is available in-store and online as of March 2013.

WIN IT!!

One lucky reader will win the ENTIRE Lip Gloss collection (value $110) and another lucky reader will win the ENTIRE Eau de Toilette range (value $112)! To enter, simply fill the form below with your qualifying entries. Good luck – and be Yummy!

  6. Karen C Hill

    I’d love to win the gloss line, but out of the scents, satsuma would have to be the winner in my books. Can’t get enough of that scent!

  25. Tanya D

    I would like to win the lip gloss. They sound yummy. The eau de toilettes sound really nice too but have friends and family with scent issues so I don’t really wear any fragrances. Thanks

    “They’re just like little toys! Line them up. Arrange them like so….” – So like lego for grown ladies? lol!

    I love anything body shop and It doesn’t surprise me that you once worked there…you are a body shop girl too…so beautiful too! I love Satsuma anything. I also love the Grapefruit Scent and the pink colour because…hey, I’m a girly girl. I like the lip gloss set and the scent set.

Thank you so much, Lena for this chance to win! A very ‘feel good’ kind of contest :) I love reading your blog even without the contests because you have such a lovely way of writing and you make me laugh…out loud & you brighen up my day :)

  75. Teresa M.

  79. Olivia L

    My first choice would be the eau de toilette collection, but I would be ecstatic to win the lip gloss too! I like citrus scents, so the pink grapefruit and the satsuma are my faves.

  82. Julia

    I would love to win the Fragrances collection! I mean, they both look great, but you can’t beat fragrances! My favourite? For sure the Coconut Fragrance! My mother’s side of my family comes from Cuba, so I love all things that smell like coconut, as it reminds me of Cuba.

  84. Amy Brown

    I’d love to win the Eau de Toilette range, and I’ve always liked Body Shop Vanilla. thanks for the chance

    Wow it all looks sooooo good and I bet it all smells really good too!!! Lip gloss would go over really well at my house with two daughters!!!! Or me I would like to try the coconut lip gloss….

  95. Tania B

    I am terribly torn as to which I would want more – the lip glosses or the fragrance. But for now I will say the lip gloss collection.

  98. Sahar

    I’d like to win the lip glosses since I haven’t tried them out yet. i like the mango and strawberry fragrances

  103. Karla Sceviour

    I would like to win the lip gloss collection..and I think the strawberry would be my favorite..yum!

  108. Danielle

    I started off with their Vanilla oil perfume, and now use the EDT of it since they’ve discontinued the oil in the Vanilla scent, which makes no sense to me but that’s what the store manager told me here in November & showed me the EDTs.
    I would have to agree about the Satsuma though, omg I loved it the first time I tried it & still buy the cream since the perfume oil is also no longer available…argh!
    Thank goodness the EDTs smell just as potent!

  127. Audrey

    I’d love to win the EDT collection! It’s hard to pick a favourite, but I’d have to go with mango!

  129. Lark Shaw

    I would love to win either, but if I had to choose I guess it would be the fragrance line, I especially love the pink grapefruit scent.

  132. Lanie

    I would love to win the The Eau de Toilettes! I would love to try the Satsuma! It sounds like it smells heavenly!

  133. Londia

    I would like to win the Eau de Toilette products but i would be happy with either one for sure.
