I got a super cute invitation to join The Body Shop for a “bee-autiful” presentation, during a media breakfast at the Toronto Botanical Gardens last week. This was our chance to get the “buzz” on their new “Honeymania” collection, and other fabulous launches by The Body Shop, like the new Colour Crush make-up and Chamomile range. I’ve never been to the Toronto Botanical Gardens, so I was definitely excited for the experience, and I’m always down to hear about and/or experience anything by The Body Shop.

We began the morning with a delicious Honey inspired menu of breakfast treats, while learning all about the Honey Mania collection, and other future Body Shop collections, then it was time for some fun! We were lead into another room, where we got to try out the Honey Mania collection, as well as the new Colour Crush make-up line, which I have to mention, left me pleasantly surprised at how highly pigmented the eyeshadows and lipsticks were!

Yummy Honey Manicures!

“We use Sheka honey organically harvested from the Ethiopian rainforest. It has a distinctive floral taste and smell because of the wildflowers the bees visit to make the honey… Beza Mar are experts in Ethiopian Honey, are dedicated to improving the livelihoods of Ethiopian beekeepers and are extremely strict about the quality of their honey. They’re the first honey producers in Ethiopia to be delivering honey to foreign buyers – and our trade brings a precious source of income….”- The Body Shop
