The Body Shop Love Etc package.
The Body Shop made my day last Monday by announcing me one of the winners of their ‘Love Etc…’ prize packs! I had entered the draw by tweeting why I love the body shop products (and promptly forgot about it, as you do).
The package arrived last week, containing the Love Etc… Body Butter, Love Etc… Eau De Parfum, and a small pack of candy love hearts.
Let me tell you, I adore the scent of the ‘Love Etc…’ range. It is delicate and sweet, without being overpowering. Jasmine and vanilla are the main ingredients, blended with sandalwood and musk.
The Body Shop Love Etc Perfume
I am not a perfume genius, but this one smells delicious. I am told it blends the key notes of jasmine and vanilla, mixed with the complementaries of pear, sandalwood, neroli, bergamot, and undertones of musk.
When I can really smell is the vanilla, but a sweeter, flowery and fruity vanilla without being sickening. The Body Shop describes it as ‘irresistible & uplifting,’ and I agree. It is very sweet and sensual, perfect for every day or special occasion use.
I think the bottle is pretty cute too:
This will look very cute on my vanity.
The Body Shop Love Etc Body Butter.
I am a shameless Body Shop body butter fan and I have been using their cocoa body butter for years. The ‘Love Etc’ body butter is almost a new favorite, just as good but I have a preference for smelling like cocoa. The ‘Love Etc…’ body butter is a sweet baby pink color, with a delicious fragrance of vanilla, jasmine and sandalwood. It is a lot lighter to use than some other body butters, and blends into the skin so easily leaving it feeling soft and sensuous.
There is something about this scene that is undeniably ‘love is in the air~.’ The ‘Love Etc’ range is available at the Body Shop, almost globally I believe, and is definitely worth a look.
PS: In case you were wondering, I tweeted:
@TheBodyShopNZ Nothing smells quite as delicious as the Body Shop products!
Are you a Body Shop fan? Have you tried any of the products from the ‘Love Etc’ range?

I’m not sure if The Body Shop is Stateside – we have Bath & Body Works. I love, love, love the way the Love Etc. set is packaged – what a fun prize. Congratulations for winning!!

I haven’t shopped at the Body Shop for ages. I used to use their Body Oils and some of their Body Butters, but I don’t think I’ve seen any of their stores since I moved here. I’ll have to visit their UK stores and get a whiff of this scent though… you make it sound truly enticing!

Oh lucky! I first got into the BodyShop as an alternative to Bath & Bodyworks in Hong Kong actually. And I have to say I love how natural their products smell (as in close to the real thing, if you get what I mean?) and also no animal testing!
