Blogger Event With The Body Shop, New Product Launches and an Exciting Giveaway

On Friday, I was lucky enough to be invited to a bloggers event by The Body Shop in Liverpool One, showcasing all of their newest product launches. We were able to try all of their latest skincare, cosmetic and body products that aren't yet available to purchase, whilst chatting to other bloggers, watching demonstrations and lots of other fun activities. I definitely wanted to share all of their new launches here on my blog, as there are some very exciting ones that I'm sure you'll like, but first, there's a giveaway for all of my readers containing some of the new launches, so keep reading to find out how you can enter.

Included in the giveaway are two new and exclusive products, being the Chinese Ginseng and Rice Clarifying Milky Toner and the Japanese Matcha Tea Pollution Clearing Mask.

The Body Shop Bloggers Event

Once all of the bloggers had arrived at the Liverpool One store, we decided to split into three groups so that we could all see and test out the new launches without it getting crowded. There were three stations: body care, makeup, and my personal favourite - skincare. Whilst sipping on matcha tea and munching on popcorn, we got to watch demonstrations with each new product, as well as getting to try them ourselves, before making a few purchases at the end. It was honestly hard to restrain myself from buying everything, as all of the new products look seriously amazing.

On the makeup front, the Body Shop is releasing the new Matte Clay Skin Clarifying Foundation, which is their fullest coverage one yet, but still has a skin-like appearance to it. This is definitely a great option for those of you with oilier skin, as the clay absorbs a lot of the excess oils in your skin, but the foundation is also enriched with tea-tree that has blemish-fighting properties. Coming in a wide range of shades and promising a matte yet lightweight formula, this is definitely a product to look out for.

The Spa of the World range also has some new additions, including the Thai Lemongrass Massage Oil that is an absolutely dreamy product. This was applied during my arm massage and felt gorgeous on the skin, and the scent was something I didn't think I'd like but I was pleasantly surprised. I'd definitely keep an eye on this range, as my skin felt incredibly moisturised after the massage.

As for skincare, there's a lot of exciting new launches that you'll want to get your hands on. There are two new toners available, being the Chinese Ginseng and Rice Milky Toner, and the British Rose Soothing Gel Toner. These are perfect for a range of skin types, and due to not containing alcohol like most toners do, they don't feel harsh or stripping to the skin. I loved trying both of these, and although the Chinese Ginseng and Rice was my favourite, they were both beautiful and smelt amazing.

The Body Shop are also releasing a new product in their Expect Face Mask range, which is the Japanese Matcha Tea Mask. This is definitely the product I was most excited to see, as I've heard nothing but positive reviews for their other masks, and I certainly wasn't let down. Not only is this a 100% vegan product, but it helps to remove pollution and impurities from the skin, which is something that not a lot of skincare ranges focus on. Although it had a strange texture at first, it felt very cooling and soothing to the skin, and I can definitely see this being an essential product for pamper evenings.

Overall, it was a very enlightening yet fun evening and I loved being invited back by The Body Shop since they always host wonderful events, and I genuinely love seeing what new products they have in store. I also loved chatting to all of the bloggers, a few of whom I'd met before, and I definitely made some great friends and had an overall enjoyable experience.

Thank you very much for reading this post and make sure that you've entered the giveaway! Make sure you leave me a comment below telling me which of the new launches you'd most like to try, and I'll see you again next Sunday!
