           Can you ever get too much of a great thing? No siree! This evening I spent my time at a VIP event for The Body Shop, which meant skincare consultations, makeup demos and a goody bag full of some treats. More on that later… Did you know that The Body Shop have a brand new product launching soon? Here’s a sneak peek!

But to be able to sit back and relax, whilst someone pampered me for a full hour felt like heaven. I was well and truly spoilt.  I have a warm skin tone, so I asked for a warm, matte look. The consultant, Umaimah (above), took her time; she didn't rush and explained all the steps to me properly. First, I was treated to a skincare routine, and then the fun began! Benefit cosmetics s
