The Body Shop's 'Top 10' Gift Bag (scroll down for the giveaway) Photos by me

Last Friday, rlr mini and I woke up bright and (somewhat) early to head to the Toronto Eaton Centre.  The motivation?  The unveiling of The Body Shop's brand new (and much-buzzed-about) Pulse Boutique.  We strolled through the newly-renovated store to test out new products (everything from radiant BB Cream to shimmery Beautifying Oil) and reminisce about our old favourites (Johanna was obsessed with White Musk in highschool while I was a strawberry and kiwi lip gloss addict.  Remember those??).  Like us, The Body Shop has grown up, with its sophisticated new space, impressive makeup wall, and luxe-looking packaging. And of course, The Body Shop, as always, is way more than just a pretty face; its Beauty with Heart initiative aims to meld ethical practices (think zero animal testing) and Community Fair Trade ingredients with beautiful products (check out the video below to see the program in action and don't forget to follow The Body Shop on Facebook & Twitter to stay perpetually in-the-know about all of their new products and amazing initiatives)

We walked away with impressive swag bags filled with The Body Shop's 'Top 10' products including my can't-live-without Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover.  The best part?  The Body Shop gave us 2 extra gift bags to give away to you!  Yay!

Simply tell us your absolute fave product (past or present) from The Body Shop to win 1 of 2 'Top 10' Gift Bags (over $150 retail value each).  Contest closes at midnight this Wednesday!  Bonne chance, mes belles!  For all of the event pics, click on the thumbnails below x

When I was in Junior High, it was all about strawberry scented products from Body Shop. Especially the lip balm!

I love the Midnight Bakula perfume! I wear it almost every day, but they just discontinued it :( Good thing I bought 5 bottles while it was on sale!

I have no idea how I missed the Satsuma memo. I have the body butter now and am in love! So fresh and fruity, but not overpoweringly so.

[Marisa]

Hard to choose just one! I had a Satsuma phase, loved Vanilla perfume oil once upon a time & (of course) swore by Dewberry. These days I reach for classic Cocoa Butter!

Thanks for all the great entries, ladies! We'll announce the winners this Friday xo

I felt like you were talking about Sara and I when you told us your favorite past Body Shop favs....Sara was OBSSESSED with white musk and I use to pound on the kiwi lip gloss....but I also was a big fan of their gift baskets, so convenient for gift giving!! :)

I like the one made out of rare African monkeys.

Is that inappropriate?

Sorry.

So excited to announce our winners. Without further ado (drumroll please...)
Congrats to MARISA & KERRI!
Thanks so much to everyone who entered - like a trip down memory lane - and check back all season long for loads more great giveaways xoxo
