Where have you been all my life Body Shop?

Have you ever had one of those beauty moments where you're like, OMG, where has this product been all my life?! 

I have recently had this revelation the moment when the Body Shop entered my life this week. Of course, I have passed by the Body Shop numerous times in many different malls, and I've always been intrigued by those delicious body butters, although with body lotions, I'm usually just expecting them in stockings or as gifts and such, so I don't really go out of my way to purchase them. Is that strange?

But anyways, on this particular day, I was on a mission for a mask. After slinking away from Lush disappointed that they were out of all of their masks (I know, crazy), curiosity got the best of me and I waltzed into the Body Shop. 

"Do you guys carry masks?" After taking a quick survey of the store, I realized that was as silly as asking a Sephora consultant if they carry makeup. But hey, I was a Body Shop virgin, so to speak.

After the nice lady gave me some very helpful suggestions, I purchased the Mineral Warming Mask (good for all skin types) so I could share it with my husband. The associate gave it a very high rating for giving a nice "deep clean." She was right! Not only that, but applying it feels like you're getting a professional spa treatment. I was shocked just how hot the mask gets when you rub it on your skin ... not too hot, but quite warm indeed! I have oily and acne-prone skin and my husband has flawless skin but can be more on the dry side. Works great for both.

The associate also gave me a little sample pot of the tea tree mask, and oh my word, this mask tingles and cools like no other and leaves skin feeling smooth after. Great on oily and/or break-out prone skin! Next time I'm at the mall, I will undoubtedly purchase this mask, too.

All in all, I can't say enough good things about these two masks. I couldn't believe I haven't been shopping at the Body Shop my entire life, but I'm so very glad I have started, because there are some very appealing products that are calling my name ... Hello peppermint foot treatments!
