Hi lovelies, Alessia from Velvet Lashes here with a beauty review. The Body Shop has always been a brand I have liked but never highly rated when it came to the skincare they offered, from Vitamin E to Tea Tree, they offered a good variety but nothing that stood out to me or proved to me it was worth the wow factor, but all that changed over the last year or so when my eyes caught sight of positive reviews with the latest launches, so here is my take on the "Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser".
I heard good things about this product and water to try it out for myself especially when it claims to boost "dull, tired, frumpy skin" this is something my skin needs urgent help with lately after the arrival of my second child.

The packaging is simple, clean and appears high end. It has a matte black lid which I like as I feel matte black looks more expensive than the shiny glossy packaging. The packaging reflects the product's "glow boosting" title with a bright orange colour and the cream is packed with vitamin c, and to me vitamin c means oranges! Is it just me that thinks that?
The scent is not overpowering at all, instead it has a refreshing orange scent with a hint of a sweet flower hiding amongst the orange; a scent I love to smell in the mornings, it reminds me of being on my Nonnas balcony amongst her orange trees.
I have used this cream non-stop since purchasing it. This has been the product that made me fall in love with the brand again, so much so I became a body shop consultant! The cream is a light orange colour which feels refreshing and light to touch. I use this cream every morning to wake me up which it sure does; I feel refreshed and ready to face the world. The product claims to "refine texture for smoother, softer-feeling skin". What a claim to make! After a week of using this cream, I would say my skin is brighter, happier and appears to be smoother with a glow that makes my makeup love my skin.
