Limited Edition Christmas products from The Body Shop

The Body Shop have a gorgeous range of limited edition scents this Christmas: Cranberry Joy, Vanilla Bliss and Ginger Sparkle.


Vanilla Bliss



I have reviewed Vanilla Bliss in a huge amount of detail, here. I just have to say, again, how friggin' amazing it is. It is the most delicious, gorgeous, drool worthy vanilla fragrance that I have ever tried. I am not a huge vanilla fan yet I am beyond obsessed with this. It is such a shame that this is a limited edition fragrance as it is is WAY better than The Body Shop's regular vanilla fragrance. I tried it in their famous body butter ($27.95) and that was a perfect combination. However, the Vanilla Bliss fragrance is also available in:

Shower gel - $20.95
Shimering Body Lotion - $22.95
Body Polish - $20.95
Hand Cream - $9.95
Home Fragrance Oil - $10.95
Heart Soap - $7.95


Cranberry Joy



Next up is Cranberry Joy. This scent is so deliciously fruity. It really is mouth watering. It is very juicy - smells just like real cranberry juice. I tried it in the body polish. You can see above that the polish is packed with tiny particles and a few large kiwi seeds. This provides a gentle, yet effective scrub. It is gentle enough to use every day. The Cranberry Joy scent is available in the following products:

Shower gel - $20.95
Shimmering Body Lotion - $22.95
Body Polish - $20.95
Hand Cream - $9.95
Home Fragrance Oil - $10.95
Heart Soap - $7.95
Room and Linen Spray - $23.95


Ginger Sparkle





The final limited edition scent in The Body Shop's Christmas range is Ginger Sparkle. This is a very true ginger scent - not sweet but instead warm and spicy. The range has pictures of ginger bread men on it. I didn't find that it smelt like ginger bread - definitely more like real ginger. However, if you layer it with the Vanilla Bliss that brings out a ginger bread like fragrance. I tried it in the Body Polish and, like the Cranberry Joy Body Polish, it was a gentle yet effective body scrub.

Of the three scents, Ginger Sparkle is the one that would be most unisex. I found Vanilla Bliss and Cranberry Joy to be more feminine, due to their sweetness but Ginger Sparkle is more dry and spicy so would work well for both males and females. Ginger Sparkle is available in:

 Shower gel - $20.95
Shimmering Body Lotion - $22.95
Body Polish - $20.95
Hand Cream - $9.95
Home Fragrance Oil - $10.95
Heart Soap - $7.95


The limited edition Christmas products are on sale online or at The Body Shop from 7th November until sold out.


Do you go a bit crazy for limited edition Christmas products or do you just stick to ones available year round?
