The Body Shop Brazil Nut: It’s Back
Finally! This was the one discontinuation a few years ago by The Body Shop that truly broke my heart, but it’s back… Back with a vengeance. The range is bigger than ever and there’s still more to come. It’s like sugar, vanilla, nuts, caramel and toffee rolled into one but it’s certainly not at all…
