The Body Shop always has the best looking (and smelling) holidays collections, I loved last years Frozen Plum body butter. This years autumn collection Vanilla Pumpkin is probably my favourite that I have tried so far, I just adore the scent. At the start of November, I was at a blogger event where I could try and smell all three of the Christmas collections, the Peppermint Candy Cane, Vanilla Marshmallow and Berry Bon Bon. Peppermint Candy Cane was very nice but too minty for my taste. The Berry Bon Bon I remember that it smelled very sweet and fruity. But I chose to test the Vanilla Marshmallow because I thought it's the safest choice and I was sure that I would enjoy using the products.
Besides the products that I got, in the collection, there are also a soap, a body lotion, a body peeling, a shimmer mist, a bath foam and you can also get some gift sets. The Vanilla Marshmallow scent is like a burned vanilla marshmallow, not my favorite, I thought I would like it more, I love the Vanilla Pumpkin way more.

Shower Gel
I love this shower gel. Perfect texture, creamy and thick. It foams well. I also have a feeling the TBS shower gels last me longer, probably because they are so thick in consistency. The scent does stay on the skin for a while but not as long as by the Vanilla Pumpkin. I didn't notice it would nourish my skin but on the other side, it didn't dry it out either. You get 250ml for 6,50€.
Softening Body Butter
The body butter and shower gels are something you can't go wrong with at The Body Shop. The butter has a creamy consistency that sinks in quickly, but still leaves a thin, but not oily film, so it nourishes the skin for a few hours and leaves it nice and soft. I got a small size with 50ml of product and it costs 6,50€.
Bath Bomb
I don't have a bathtub, so I will probably give this to somebody for Christmas. It's a shame because it is such a cute design of an owl. It's supposed to be a fizzing bath bomb and is supposed to make your water yellow tinted.
Hand Cream
I'm not a fan of the hand cream. I would probably say that I like it, but I started testing it at the same time as the L'Occitane's shea butter one and I could see a difference. This one is lighter in texture, so it doesn't nourish my hands like I would want to. Lately, my hands and nails have really been dry, I think they have never been so dry before, and this cream is not what I reach for. I haven't tried any other hand creams from TBS but this one didn't impress me. In the packaging, there is 30ml of product and it costs 5,90€.
I am not a big fan of the scent, I just thought it would smell very sweet and sugary. My favourites are the body butter and the shower gel, the body butter is almost empty now. The hand cream I will probably give to a friend because I have some that I like more, as well as the bath bomb since I don't have a bath.
