The Body Shop // The Butter Of All Butters*

When it comes to body butters no brand does it quite like The Body Shop. Whether your a fan of floral, fruity or creamy they've got it all. Since 1992 The Body Shop have revolutionised how we take care of our skin, growing their range from 3 to 17 different fragrances. You may well be, just like me, a massive fan of the Body Shop body butters (quite frankly, you would be silly not to be) but are you aware of how much your individual purchases are helping to change the lives of communities? Your love for beautiful skin has helped fund clean water pipes and wells in Ghana, provide better housing and education and even provided the women of Morocco with a fair and regular income. 

So from now on NEVER underestimate the power of your beauty cabinet - try to source your beauty products from brands that are not only good but that DO good, just like The Body Shop.

My aim for this weeks post is to spread the world about The Body Shop's new movement: #INOURHANDS and their goal to ENRICH NOT EXPLOIT... and to encourage their customers to play their part to help make the world a better place for all.

Making the smallest changes to our lives can have a massive impact on the world we live in. We, like them, can impact others lives for the better. Whether it be trying meat free Mondays or having 3 minute showers - it can all help! Share what you are changing with The Body Shop on Twitter @TheBodyShopUK using #INOURHANDS and you will be entered into a prize draw to win the trip of a lifetime to see first hand just how The Body Shop are enriching lives plus a donation will be made to the World Land Trust to protect 1x1m of endangered rain forest.

£20 Makeup Challenge! 💰

I spend a lot of money on makeup. Probably too much. My day to day face is worth £205.67 Working that out really shocked me, it's crazy how fast it all adds up and how many products I put on my face every morning. I've seen the £20 face challenge all over the beauty corner of the internet recently and I really wanted to give it a go. Armed with just £20 I searched Superdrug.com and attempted to pick out some items. My oh my, it was a challenge.
 Base:
Miss Sporty // Insta Glow Foundation // 3 for £5 (Superdrug)
Miss Sporty // Perfect Stay Concealer // 3 for £5 - love love love this (Superdrug)
Miss Sporty // Insta Glow Bronzer // Brunette // 3 for £5 (Superdrug)
MUA // Blusher // Bon Bon // £1 (Superdrug)
MUA // Undress Your Skin Highlight // £3 (Superdrug)
 
Eyes:
Calvin Klein // Eyeshadow // £1 Each (Poundland)
MUA // Eye Define // £1.50 (Superdrug)
Primark // Mascara // £1.99 (Superdrug)
 
Eyebrows:
Same as eyes: Calvin Klein // Eyeshadow // £1 (Poundland)
 
Lips:
Collection // Lasting Colour Lipstick // £2.99 (Superdrug)

Total: £17.48
Difference: £190.17

This challenge was way more difficult than I first thought! £20 really doesn't go that far (especially when the average drugstore foundation is £9.99!). That being said, I think I did pretty well here (with the help of superdrug's offers!). Maybe you can make a decent face of makeup with a LOT less money. I can't say that I will be suddenly changing how much money I spend on makeup but it's showed me that you don't necessarily need to splash the cash to get a pretty everyday look.



Have a go yourself!
