Body Shop

I want to love this place because their «sales» are great, and their products look nice. The store is always clean and the staff is friendly and most of the time helpful, but their products are just «alright.» Average.

They were helpful here and had a good variety. Not my store cuz i don’t buy hand cream but hey…

Products are great, but the sales tactic is bordering on the grey area. Currently, they have a offer 50% discount to selected items that will fit in the basket. They conveniently removed the price tags on items covered in the promo, believing that people will not ask for the price. The sales lady later admitted this when asked.
Will it make them generate more sales? Most probably. Shady? For sure. Beware buyer.

Exactly what I expect from the pricey aromatherapy stores… but good clearance, and specials…
And when you walk into chicago place mall and smell this oil, you can ask them exactly what they’re burning and you can make it at home!
Yummy.
I think it was a fad for me for 3 years, maybe because it was convenient — i worked down the street… now i find myself wanting to put it in my to-​do list but its so unimportant… i could live with out it.

I agree that they are a little overpriced, but the body butters are divine! I also love the aromatherapy oils-​so many to choose from-​and they smell great and can be mixed to create your own blend! I also like that some proceeds go to help those less fortunate (at least I hope that’s where the money goes!).Love the Cranberry sparkle lotion that is available during the holidays-​smells good enough to eat!

I agree with the positive comments about the body butter, it really is fantastic. The coconut version is the best smelling coconut product I’ve ever found (if anyone knows of a better one though let me know!)
Their product lines really are overpriced and nothing special, but for the body butter alone they will get 4 stars from me. There are a handful of other things that are nice, like the massage oils you can get scented with whatever fragrance you want.
They do have cute gift baskets if you need a quick idea for a birthday or something. I also have to admit I like walking around the store because although the smell is overpowering, something still draws me in. Probably the product junkie thing.

reasonable price id say… i have a lotion collection. i have to lotion myself after every shower… and i love the body butter. i use the cocoa butter body
smells goood and leaves my skin healthy and glowy with no cellulite either. everything is supple. also…i love my room smellin good so i get the oil scent stuff. and i love the exotica and the orange citrus scent. and my room smells great! i really dont need expensive lotions to lotion my skin coz the body butter does it. its for $ 16 dollars. but i found someone sellin 4 tubs for $ 7 on ebay. if u read my reviews… yes i guess im an ebay addict. but im a poor student ykno. i hafto bargain shop.

Hmm… I don’t know if I can give a fair review. It’s just that the Body Shop offers mediocre products compare to many other brands. However, one great thing about the Body Shop is certainly their body butter. I bought to mango one and absolutely love the feel!
Other than that, their products run on the average side. Their makeup is not worth coughing money over. Really, head over to Sephora or something! And their body wash, lotion, and soap products are hits and misses… usually misses. Now, what I mean is that the scent tends to be too strong and the products themselves are overpriced.
I don’t know. I would recommend that you try Sephora or Lush. Granted, those stores are def more expensive… but hey! What’s a few more dollars if you’re going to splurge on bath and beauty products? I believe bath and body works is cheaper as well.

I absolutely love their body butter. The coconut is the best scent ever. Definately overpirced. They have really crappy makeup. The smell of the store is amazing.

The McDonald’s of grooming products. Yawn.

oh the body butter is awesome. It drives men crazy. It’s a clean well lit store with reasonable prices.

I love this store because it smells fresh, not sugary sweet which just kills anything and makes me run not go in. At any rate, they have some great products here. My favorites are the Body Butter and their lip gloss… even the name is cool…“Born Lippy.” Perfection.

I think this is the best Body Shop around and you can definately smell it from the street. It’s got a great selection of their products and once your inside you are most likely going to find something to buy!

Well… the scent got ME. It was a combo of the mandarin and exotica fragrance oils. My dear friend bought me both bottles… I returned later to get the aromatherapy burner too. I’ve always loved this company and their products. Real ingredients… socially responsible… not frou-frou…and everything smells good and is good for you too.

even though i’ve never stepped foot in here, the scent always gets me as i walk by
