Is Vitacreme B12 the most overhyped product in Japan? Damn Straight It Is!

A famous Japanese actress made Vitacreme B12 one of the most hyped up skincare products I’ve ever had the pleasure of using. The claims of renewed skin cells, diminishing age lines and existing wrinkles, and just generally making skin look amazing are just a few of the urban legends that surround this moisturizer or at least in my experience they are urban legends.

I’ve been using the cream on and off for a few years and recently had an e-mail from a reader asking me if I had ever tried it.

Damn straight I have and no it doesn’t jump rope and chew gum at the same time.

Here’s the deal according to the Muse!

The Body Shop at Sephora

 

 

Beauty News of the Day….

The Body Shop is now at Sephora!

Seriously, you can buy all your fav Body Shop products at www.Sephora.com as of today!

“We�re thrilled to offer our customers greater access to our products,”� said Phil Kowalczyk, President of the Americas for The Body Shop. “For some time now our customers have told us they want more ways to shop The Body Shop. We currently have just under 300 boutiques across the U.S. A good number, but the U.S is a big country and there are customers who love our products but just don�t have ease of access to them. We believe The Body Shop products are a natural fit for Sephora�s clientele: women who care about high quality, high performing beauty products. We�re confident this is a winning partnership that�s both, great news for our customers and great news for Sephora clients. “

Starting today The Body Shop will begin debuting a selection of its mini Body Butter Collection and an assortment of exclusive products and kits at Sephora.com and as of March 2nd you’ll find these products in over 170 Sephora store locations!

“The demand for natural and ethical beauty products by beauty consumers has been growing rapidly,”� said Margarita Arriagada, Sephora�s SVP of Merchandising. “We are excited to offer our clients exclusive products from The Body Shop, a brand that brings with it tremendous authority and credibility in this space.”�

The following items will be available at select Sephora stores and online at Sephora.com.

  • The Body Shop Body Butter
  • The Body Shop Shower Gel
  • The Body Shop Shower Cream
  • The Body Shop DeoDry Dry-Effect Deodorants
  • The Body Shop Peppermint Cooling Foot Set
  • The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector Duo Set
  • The Body Shop Vitamin E Daily Facial Regime Kit
  • The Body Shop Vitamin C Facial Radiance Kit
  • The Body Shop Tea Tree Daily Face Regime Kit
  • The Body Shop Aloe Daily Face Regime Kit

Isn’t it weird to think that your local Sephora will now have your favorite Body Shop products? I’m trying to wrap my head around the idea.

What do you think?

Love the idea of shopping the Body Shop at Sephora?

Korres Sunflower & Evening Primrose Eyeshadow $6

Korres Sunflower & Evening Primrose Eyeshadow is $6 on www.Sephora.com in six shades. I actually own a few of these and love ’em so definitely can recommend a purchase particularly at this price.

Shades available at this price are:

  • Ivory 14 (luminous ivory)
  • 22S Orange (soft orange shimmer)
  • 34S Golden Brown (deep bronze shimmer)
  • 42S Green White (light mint green shimmer)
  • Metallic Grey 55 (grey shimmer)
  • 64S Pink (light pink pearl shimmer)

I’m placing an order shortly at Sephora and think I’ll haul the Orange, I don’t own that shade and I’m kinda obsessing over oranges lately.
