Review: The Body Shop Mango Lip Butter


Cost: $8.00 USD
Size: 10 ml


Product Description:
With shea butter from Ghana and Community Trade beeswax from Zambia to keep lips lush.... 


Packaging:
The lid screws on, so there’s no worrying about it popping off! Ive ruined a lot of handbags that way :( The label on top of the lid features pictures of a sliced mango as the background, and printed on top is the company logo and product name in both English and French. The bottom label peels back to reveal a list of ingredients. You may have to squint a bit but I will list them at the end of the review. hehe


Scent:
MANGO! The mango is subtle and it's mainly a citrus scent, it smells wonderful. I love it. I'm a big fan of fruit like smells.


Texture & Application:
The texture is like a whipped butter. I dont find it to be oily or sticky. It applies nice upon the lips and after time the product sinks into the skin.The lip butter is indeed very soft, creamy, and smooth and the perfect balance between light and heavy. I find it nice to exfoliate the lips, when my lips are a bit dry I pat this on and the flakes disappear in the silkiness of the butter!


Ingredients:
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Ricinus Communis (Castor Seed) Oil, Beeswax, Brassica Campestris/Aleurites Fordi Oil Copolymer, Lanolin, Mangifera Indica (Mango Seed) Butter, PEG-8 Beeswax, Flavor, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Silica, Limonene, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ammonium Glycyrrhizate, Tocopherol, Geraniol, Linalool, Citral, Titanium Dioxide, Yellow 5 Lake, Red 7 Lake.

Key Ingredients:
  • She Butter - Shea butter is one of nature's great moisturizers. 
  • Mango Seed Oil - Moisturizes the skin.
  • Organic beeswax - Moisturizes and helps to condition dry skin. Acts as a barrier that helps to seal in moisture. Helps to keep product texture consistent when used over time.

How To: Sweet Potato & Mango Mask


Quick Facts:
This mask is good to help treat mild acne as well as anti aging. I use it for the aging bit and I have found it very useful as well in the way if making my face feel rejuvenated and moisture packed. I also love the sweet smell it leaves on my face when the product is washed away.


Ingredient's:

  • 1 sweet potato (cooked)
  • 1 mango
  • 5 tablespoons of Honey

Mixture & Application:
Scoop out the potato and mango from within and mash together with the honey. Apply for 15 - 20 minutes, rinse with warm water and you're done. I top it off with a nice cream... nothing to heavy is needed.

Dinner: Kiwi, Mango, Strawberries

...on a daily


I am a fruit junkie!(Vegan) When it comes to the way I eat I pick carefully. I enjoy all fruits and Veggies and find them simply delicious! Today on my plate I have Mango, strawberries, & Kiwi! Not only are they good in taste they help your body in more ways then you know. Fruit is known to help you in a number of ways depending on what types you eat. Right now lets just say I'm not only fighting cravings and hunger :)Fruit is beneficial to your skin and appearance! I mean after all this is a beauty blog and I feel the need to re inform you of these miracle workers !!

If you really want a long list just google the benefits, you would be amazed!
Anyways I've been doing a bit of thinking today, would you guys be interested in videos and blogs about "in the day of..." or would that be rather boring? I mean my life is not super exciting but I enjoy topics of such and find the ramblings nice. What do you think!?

Before you reach for a bottle why not grab a plate?!"-I love fruits.. I grab a Naked Juice or Odwalla because well I don't always have time to sit down and eat a meal. Of coarse you should never gulp down the entire bottle. I always buy the BIG jugs and pour half a glass. Ive actually tweeted about it before. The half of glass fills me up and gives me what I need. Love them! :) Nothing beats fresh fruit though :D"

-Cheers
