Another Unexpected Purchase: The Face Shop

I went shoe-shopping today, and accidentally bought some more beauty products. Oops!

At the suggestion of some friends, we decided to change things up a bit, and we went to a different shopping centre to the ones we normally frequent. Yes, my life is that exciting! It's quite a bit further away than our normal haunts, so I wasn't really familiar with it. Having wandered around for a little bit and seen variations on all the same old shops, my heart started racing when we came upon a The Face Shop! I knew there were some The Face Shop stores scattered throughout Melbourne, and I'd been meaning to check one out for a while. So what was a girl to do, but go in and make a purchase! Here's what I got:



♥ Real Nature Mask with Kelp pack of 5 with free Pomegranate Mask
- I made a beeline for the cloth masks first, as I have a new-found love for them. There were many products scattered throughout the shop that were bundled up in little value packs. They were packaged up in clear plastic bags with little touches to many of them - this one had a little pink bow. Cute!

♥ Rich Hand & Cuticle Duo with Vitamin E
- Unlike many brand stores with intimidatingly young and snobby assistants, this one was staffed by an adorable middle-aged lady who came around and explained the products to me. Usually I find this kind of over-helping annoying, but she was just so sweet and lovely that I didn't mind at all. She showed me this hand cream which had a little pot of cuticle balm in the lid and I just couldn't resist.

♥ Lovely Me:eX Eyes Eyeshadow in WH006 Glitter
- By this stage I was wandering around the shop in a daze, wanting to buy one of everything and not being able to decide what to pick, with Husband restricting my spending helpfully considering my options with me. I finally decided to get some eyeshadow so I could try out a different aspect of their products than the skin care. I chose this sparkly light gold single, as I thought it might match well with my neutral work palette and give it a bit of extra interest.

The lovely lady also gave me four free sample sachets when I went to pay. She gave me a White Tree Snow Vita Lightening Serum, a Raspberry Roots Sleeping Mask, a Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam, and a Face It Power Perfection SPF 37 BB Cream.

I have to say, my experience with shopping at this particular The Face Shop was 100% A-1 fantastic! I just wish it was nearer to my house so I could visit more often. If you're ever at Eastland in Ringwood, do check it out!
