I’ve been trying to post this for over a month now. Better late than never, right?!

The Body Shop is one of my favourites – I’m usually a sucker for their “£10 off when you spend £25″ which results in me buying a ton of shower gel that I didn’t necessarily need (but thoroughly enjoy) just to get my discount.

I was so happy when I was invited to this event – even more so when I realised it was for the launch of the new limited edition Virgin Mojito range – which smells AMAZING. Think sweet, minty, fresh goodness in a bottle.

I’ve also got to say a massive thank you to the gorgeous ladies at the Body Shop Middlesbrough for letting my sister come along (she was staying with me, and I didn’t want to leave her behind while I went off to get pampered!). They even gave her a mini goodie bag, which is just so sweet of them.

When we got there, we were greeted with nibbles and virgin mojito cocktails, which were amazing (I’ve got to learn how to make those for myself), and slushies!

We had a look round (and by “look round” I mean “we smelled everything we possibly could”), and learned loads about some of the new products. I’ve now got my eye on the Bouncy Sleep Mask – if you’re near a Body Shop, go in and have a cheeky little feel of the tester, it’s fun!

I even got my makeup done, which is something I’ve always been scared to do for some reason. I mean, there are cheerful little notices all over the shop offering free makeover services and colour-matching etc, but I’ve always been too nervous to ask. Typical Sally.

I went for warm colours – a coral/peach shade for my eyeshadow and pink/gold blusher, which isn’t something I’d usually wear. I thought I’d take loads of pretty pictures when I got home to show off the look…and it rained on me all the way home. Sorry about that.

Another massive thank you to the Body Shop, I had a lovely time!
