Product packaging:
Packaging of this product is simple and straight forward with their pastel pink glass bottle and a glass dropper lid that always make me feel like a scientist when I use this.  You can easily drip just the right amount of product every time with no fuss.  Only complaint would be that there is no stopper in the actual bottle.  So if you were to accidentally tip over the bottle, it would be game over.

How to use:
 Please keep in mind facial oils are not a replacement for a moisturizer.  Think of facial oils as a seal for your moisturizer like plastic wrap to keep all the moisture in. After you have cleansed your face, used toner to wipe away left over dirty and prepping your skin to drink some moisture, applied essence/serum/ampoule, moisturized with your favourite moisturized, pat this serum-in-oil onto your face.  Drip about 3-4 drops onto the palms of your hand, rub your hands together and pat onto your face.

Texture/ Finish:
Texture of this serum in oil is, well oily.  After 20 minutes, the oil settles into your skin and doesn’t appear so greasy.  I would definitely suggest you to use this at night if you don’t want to look too greasy.  If you were to use this in the day time, use only one to two drops, rub it on the palm of your hands and gently press into the skin.  At night, I use three to four drops.  Once I wake up, I definitely feel a huge difference with this facial oil.  My skin is more hydrated, slightly more plump and softer.

Fragrance:
This facial oil has a slight powdery scent, kind of smells like a grandma’s perfume but is so faint that it doesn’t really bother me.  Scent does not linger after application.  Smell-o-scale= 3/10.

After 30 mins, the oil fully absorbs into the skin and leaves my skin super soft. 

I look like dewy awesomenesss~  This picture is actually from my post on Secret Key lemon D Toc peeling gel, so if you want to check that post out.  Also if you guys want to see a skincare routine post, comment down below.  I’m always trying new products out and still trying to find my holy grail products but I am open to show you what are my favourites (ᅌᴗᅌ* ).

-easily accessible at any The Body Shop stores
-packaging is straight forward and easy to use
-leaves my face moisturized and soft in the morning

Con:
-no stopper of any sort inside–> tip the bottle over=game over

Repurchase?:
Yes and already have!

Overal:
I have to say that Body shop does not really have many good products in my opinion other then their body butters, so I’m really surprised I actually fell in love with one of their skin care products.  Two years ago, I don’t know what came over me, I had a huge craving to try all of the Body shop products and still to this day have a stash that I have not touched.  If you actually look at the bottom of your receipt, there is a coupon for $15 off $45 which definitely helps knock down the price.  That and their membership card that gives you an extra 10% off, yea I can’t really pass on deals.  I don’t think I can live without this product and is close to a holy grail, close but I won’t stamp this as holy grail until I try more facial oils.  Two thumbs up and would definitely recommend you guys try it :).

PS. One bottle lasted me almost a year, so you really don’t need that much for it to last.  And for $23, it is pretty affordable compared to anything you can get in Sephora.

Have you tried this product?  What do you think about this product?  Any other facial oils that you guys enjoy and would recommend to me?  Let me know in the comments down below~ WEEEEEEEE
