My Body Shop Collection

I really am dedicated to this brand. A lot of it has to do with where I live. It's a really small town and there are no department stores and beauty counters and fabulous makeovers. There is literally a Boots, a Superdrug and The Body Shop. Boots has a Clinique/Lancome/No7/Elizabeth Arden section but I used to work there and I know for a fact that are mostly all manned by nasty b*tches (I hate saying that but it's true) and to be honest I don't really want them earning commission from it and I feel like they wouldn't respect me as a customer anyway. I've had a few occasions when I've returned something and the staff have expected me to go and pick up the replacement myself, despite the fact that they are supposed to do it, just because I used to work there. I wouldn't do it where I work to old colleagues so why should they?

Oh my gosh this is turning into such a rant. Basically I like to come into a store for skincare and cosmetics and actually have them talk to me about the products and help me choose shades/types etc. That is what a beauty shopping experience should be like. I am actually quite good friends with the manager in my local Body Shop now and it has made the world of difference to my shopping experiences. I look forward to going in there. 

So... needless to say I have picked up a few items. I felt that it would be fun to kind of lay them all out and see how much I've got. So here is the photo evidence... oh dear...

Yes there is a lot. To be fair, the Tea Tree skincare collection is my boyfriends. And the apple body wash has almost ran out.  Hmm.  Let's take a closer look.

So we have:

3x Body Washes

3x Body Butters

2x Facial Washes

1x Exfoliating Wash

1x Exfoliating Pads

1x Eye Shadow

3x Shimmer Cubes

1x Toner

1x Night Cream

2x Day Moisturiser

1x Blemish Balm

1x Lip Balm

1x Lip Butter

1x Blush

1x Powder Base

1x Foundation

1x Face and Body Brush

2x Eyeshadow Brushes

1x Highlighting Concealer

1x Lipgloss

1x Vanilla Bliss Gift Set

1x Body Mist

1x Body Polish

1x Mineral Mask

1x Eyeliner

2x Mascara (the other is stored away and unopened!)

1x Bath Lily

Total: 38 (47 if you count the shimmer cubes as individual shadows)

Terrible. But to be fair this is the only thing I really splurge on. Oh well. If they make me happy then who cares?

Have you got a single brand collection to rival this?! Send me links to posts!
