Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: The Body Shop Refreshing Passionfruit bodycare range

We can’t quite credit it, but we do still encounter readers who think that The Body Shop has gone the way of the dodo. And it hasn’t. Some stores closed, in a rationalisation programme (use it or lose it, folks), but many remained – and the New Product Development department has been busy, busy, busy.

Price-points remain reasonable. Creativity abounds. And we recommend that you sign up to the mailing list or track down your nearest store, because there are some great-limited editions on the horizon. Like this tangy Passionfruit range, with its mouthwateringly juicy (and far from overwhelmingly sweet and fruity) scent infusing a grab-it-while-you-can range of layerable bath and body treats, including Refreshing Passionfruit Shower Gel, Refreshing Passionfruit Body Mist and Refreshing Passionfruit Body Yoghurt (we LOVE the texture of The Body Shop’s body yoghurts – luscious, non-sticky, precisely the skin drink we need at this end of summer, too. Shins, readers, SHINS!)

We also got to try a Refreshing Passionfruit Shower Gel, which seems to have sold out online – but like we say: find your nearest store (use the Store Locator here), and dip, dab and sniff to your heart’s content.
