The Body Shop Vitamin E Queen of Moisture Collection | Mother's Day 2015




If you're struggling for ideas for Mother's day this year, I have just the thing for you today! The Body Shop vitamin E range has been best-selling for over 3 decades, and this Mother's day they have released a brand new Limited Edition The Queen of Moisture range. I have 3 out of the 4 products to share with you today, the only one I don't have is the Vitamin E Aqua boost Sorbet which is a moisturiser that gives 24 hour hydration and refreshes the skin. 

The first product is the Vitamin E Moisture Cream* in this special Limited Edition packaging. This is 100ml (limited edition size) and is a beautiful moisturiser. If you have dry or dehydrated skin this would be perfect as it gives so much moisture and hydration from the first use. This moisturiser can be used as a day cream, but I've also used it at night which leaves my skin feeling super soft and hydrated when I wake up in the morning. Older skin also needs much more moisture so this is perfect for mums and grandmas! My mum has tried this too, and she also loves it. The moisturiser has a very slight scent which smells clean and fresh. I personally have sensitive skin, and I haven't experienced any irritations from this moisturiser. It's no wonder it's one of the Body shop's best sellers! (They sell one every 14 seconds!)

I've also tried the new Vitamin E eyes cube*, which is a moisturising stick which you use in the morning to revive and refresh the under eye area. This also helps to combat dark circles, depuff and get rid that awful tired look! The packaging is really good, as because it's in stick form, it's easier to use than a pot, and is also super-quick (perfect for morning!). I get really dry skin around my eyes and a lot of the caffeine roll-ons are too harsh for me, but this one is really gentle and soothing. I've also found that it creates a great base for concealer and keeps my under eye area hydrated all day. This is £8 which is really affordable for an eye cream too! 

Last but not least is the Vitamin E overnight serum-in-oil*. This works perfectly with the other products in the range, and is such a luxury step in an evening skincare routine! This is very similar to the Estee Lauder advanced night repair, but at £13 is just a fraction of the price. You can use this alone, or pair it with the moisturiser for extra hydration. The serum helps to indulge, replenish and recharge the skin whilst you sleep. The consistency of this serum is quite light and it sinks into the skin quickly, so you don't get that sticky feeling. I used to be afraid to use oils on my combination skin, but they do really work wonders, especially at night. When I've applied this, I rub any excess into the ends of my hair and my hands, which although isn't the intended use it works really well, and of course is better than wasting it! 

You can click on any of the links above to purchase any of these products, and of course they're available in-store too! If your mum is more of a hand-cream or bath kind of person, the Body shop do a wonderful selection of those too, as well as amazing gift ideas and gift sets

I hope you and your Mum have a lovely Mothers Day! x

  1. I love what they've done with the packaging. I love the range but I have quite oily skin so I have to be careful with it. I'd like to try the eye cream though as it sounds amazing

    1. Me too, it's a bit different, and I do love limited edition packaging! The eye cream is definitely my favourite! x
