The Body Shop Vanilla Chai Range Review

Hi guys,

The Body Shop had come up with three limited edition ranges this Christmas, one was Spiced Apple, Frosted Berries and this Vanilla Chai one. I had these three products from the Vanilla Chai range and here are my thoughts..

The Body Shop Vanilla Chai Body Butter

Claims: Our Limited Edition Vanilla Chai Body Butter is a rich and delicious-smelling festive treat for softly-sweet skin. The Vanilla Chai scent is warm and inviting, filled with creamy milk and addictive vanilla

– Leaves skin feeling softer and smoother
– Buttery texture
– Seasonally Sweet Vanilla Chai Scent
– Limited Edition

MRP: Rs.1495

Ingredients:

The Body Shop Vanilla Chai Shower Gel

Claims: Bring a squeeze of seasonal sweetness to your shower with our Limited Edition Vanilla Chai Shower Gel; a deliciously-scented shower gel bursting with vanilla chai fragrance. This warm and inviting scent infused with creamy milk and addictive vanilla, envelops the senses for a relaxing experience.

– Lather- rich
– Soap-free
– Seasonally Sweet Vanilla Chai Scent
– Limited Edition

MRP: Rs.595

Ingredients:

The Body Shop Vanilla Chai Foam Bath

Claims: Add a hint of holiday magic to bath time with our Limited Edition Vanilla Chai Bath Foam. The warm and inviting scent, infused with creamy milk and hand-picked vanilla from Madagascar, creates an indulgent spa experience.

– Foaming bubble bath
– Leaves skin smelling beautiful and feeling refreshed
– Seasonally Sweet Vanilla Chai Scent
– Limited Edition

MRP: Rs.1495

Ingredients:

This range comes in a pretty light yellow packaging with the Christmasy print on it. The smell is warm and woody, more of chai than of vanilla. It’s not the light vanilla scent, the strong chai scent is overpowering the vanilla.

But I still love the warm and spicy scent and it’s perfect for the winter season.

I have the Body Butter, Shower Gel and Foam bath. Now I don’t have a bath tub, hence cannot use the Foam Bath in that way, but I add it in a bucket and use it that way. Also it is great for manicures and pedicures at home, those pampering days.

I love the Shower Gel and Body Butter combo, the smells lasts longer when both are used simultaneously. The body butter is slightly thick and rich for my taste and hence it is perfect for current winters. I don’t like using heavy body butters in summers or monsoons in Mumbai.

The shower gel foams and cleanses really well, and skin does not feel overly dry or stretchy. I would recommend trying out this range right now as it is perfect for the season. I am not sure if it is still available, but if it is, do grab the Vanilla Chai range!

About Hebe Bath Gel : Hebe – Youth

Hebe, daughter of Zeus and Hera, is the Greek Goddess of Youth.
Eternal is Hebe, the goddess of youth.
Pouring nectar from the ageless flower,
Gifting everlasting youth with every shower
A special blend of oils has been infused in this bath gel to fulfill the desire of eternal youth. The natural property of rose is combined with other essential oils to smoothen the skin and give it a natural, youthful, glow.

Ingredients:

It comes in a small pump dispensor packaging. It dispenses the right amount of product and foams well. I am in absolute love with the smell!! It smells amazing! My whole bathroom smells amazing whenever I use Hebe Bath Gel. I love essential oils, so any product with essential oils naturally attract me, especially lavender oil. Skin feels soft,supple and hydrating. No sliminess as with some body washes. I loved this and absolutely recommend it.

 

Though the only con would be its available only online on lookbeyond right now. Buy HERE

Rating: 4/5

150 ml / 5 fl.oz MRP. Rs. 395

About Sirona: Sirona – Dark Circles (Night)


Sirona is the Celtic Goddess of Healing.
Lightly apply this serum on a clean face, prior to applying any other cream, to start the process of lightening dark circles over time. This serum is meant for use during the night.

10 ml / 1 fl.oz MRP. Rs. 445

Ingredients:

Its a small blue genie bottle shaped packaging. At first, you would think it would have a dropper pipette which oils and serums usually have. But no! Its a roll on. Yes, the first oil serum I have seen in a roll on form. And what an idea! I love it. It perfectly fits into the contours of the under eyes where we apply the creams,etc for dark circles.

I think the packaging is genius. And this makes it travel friendly too. I don’t have too many dark circles to begin with. So I did not see a dramatic result as such, but definitely some improvement. And also the skin stays supple and no dryness around the eyes. Oils are always welcome in winters for me. And this too smells awesome!

Rating: 3.5/5
