I love the Body Shops body butters and went through several different varieties a few years ago. In recent times I'd avoided it due to the price- at almost 20 quid they are on the more expensive end of the body moisturiser spectrum but recently there was a sale so I got it for half price.
These body butters are thick but easy to rub in and absorb quickly, they smell amazing and the scent lasts for hours afterwards. I put it to the test recently when I started using it on these really dry patches on my upper arms- after a couple of weeks of use, those patches are pretty much completely cleared up. Huzzah!
The Almond Nail and Cuticle Oil comes in a pen format with a brush tip. You twist the end of the pen and the oil comes out through the brush (like touche eclat), although I wouldn't describe the formula as "oil" as such, more like an oily gel, which makes it quite easy to work with. This also has that same amazing almond-y smell and feels lovely and comforting on the nail. The lid of the pen has a little rubber attachment in the shape of a cuticle stick, so you can apply the oil/gel to the cuticle, leave it for a minute and then push back the cuticle with the rubber lid. As I recall this costs about eleven euro but I can't remember exactly because I used my Body Shop loyalty card to get my "It's your birthday, have a free gift worth a tenner" present, which was a really nice treat. Thanks The Body Shop!
The Almond Nail and Cuticle Oil pen sounds so handy!

DeleteI adore Body Shop body butters, but I only get them when they are on offer. The cuticle pen sounds really good, also get for travel as it's so small!
