Soap & Glory or The Body Shop

So, with my recent self-imposed ban (effective after I got the Bad to the Bronze eyeshadow, which I like so thanks for the rec =) ) on buying more makeup items unless it’s to replace something I’ve used up or had gone bad, I’m turning towards bath and body products, because I want to pamper myself.

All this time, I only use discounted body washes and shampoos, and the most expensive product I’ve bought probably cost $7 a liter. I mostly use the likes of Palmolive and Bathox, which aren’t bad, really, but you know =P

So, I’ve set my sights on either The Body Shop, a brand that I’m quite familiar with since I used to religiously use their Seaweed toner (that is, until I met and had an affair with Garnier micellar water), and a brand that I’ve only recently heard about because I am too unaware of things sometimes; Soap & Glory.

Why these two? Because the rest, like L’Occitane, Crabtree & Evelyn, and MOR are sadly way outside my price range =/ I think Soap & Glory is slightly more expensive than Body Shop, but only about $1 – $3 extra.

Since Soap & Glory can be found at Mecca, any purchases will contribute to my Beauty Loop membership. I’m wondering if Body Shop has a similar rewards system or any kind of membership system? I know that in my home country they do, but I don’t know if they do in Australia.

And what are your thoughts about these two brands? Which one do you think is better? Is Soap & Glory worth the extra few dollars? Lol. And what are your favourites products from both brands?

    I can’t say I’ve tried Soap and Glory but I adore the Body Shop’s body splashes and lotions!

    Thanks for that, i didn’t realise i can get it in Australia as i don’t shop at Mecca.

    The Body Shop products are AMAZING! but they rarely go on sale :/ Though there packs are much cheaper and you get to try about 3 products. They dont have a reward system yet, but make sure you ask for your samples 🙂
    My favourite from The Body Shop is their body butters and the Japanese Cherry Blossom body mist <3

    Eleana, The Body Shop never have sales at their stores even during special seasons such as the half/yearly sales Do you know why ?

    right now i’m obsessed with the mango and the coconut ranges from the body shop as they smell so good!

    i have heard from body shop staff that they are going to introduce some sort of membership around the end of this year, but i don’t know if that’s happened yet.

    can’t say much for mecca as i’ve never been to that store…and it’s harder to locate….

    I’m currently obsessing over bath and body products too!
    My current love is camirelli crates (it’s a sub box that comes with bath and body products, candles, melts and soaps) and Butterfly party Soap have some pretty amazing stuff too (also offers a sub box too).
    I’m pretty certain that body shop at home doesn’t offer a rewards system. My cousin is a consultant and she hasn’t mentioned anything to me about it (I Love rewards systems lol).
    Personally I’m all for trying new things. I would splurge and spend the extra $ and try soap & glory and grab the rewards for doing so. At worst you don’t like them and you can gift to friends or family (anything I don’t like gets passed onto my mum) while still getting the rewards for doing so.

    to be honest, I have not tried much from soap and glory, but the body shop do some amazing skincare products. I’m not sure whether they have a rewards system though. Have you checked on the website?
