This is a fab deal. The body butter will be on the front cover of the magazine. If you want to see what it looks like, have a look on the Body Shop site.

    Just a note to others though- I read on this forum that shea butter is a natural sun protection cream: (POST NO. 41)

    Unfortunately for me the Body Shop body butters contain lanolin which I'm allergic stuff. Just as well I like the cheaper stuff from elsewhere:D

    I got several BS coconut body butters last time MC did an offer like this...but there was a "Buy MC for £1" voucher doing the rounds then. Anyone know if there's any cheap deals for MC at the moment?

    Think my subscription to MC has ended now the 3 for £1 deal, I cancelled the subscription as dont normally have MC. Im glad I got the mag with the free Neals yard lotion as I cant/dont use Body shop as they are now Loreal. The Neals yard body lotion was really nice - lasted me a while:D

    I keep giving friends the free samples I cant use they are quite happy!

    Thanks OP. Shea butter is great to deep condition my hair with as you can see from my avatar.

    In your hair? isn't that a b**** to rinse out? good tip though- just not brave enough to try! ( put myself off home made beauty treatments when being a teenager and trying everything I could. Egg and hot water do not mix, especially not on hair!)

    No I mix it with avocado and olive oil, sometimes honey. Wrap cling film around my head, put a bag over it, then a shower cap then one of those special towels you can buy for when you wash your hair, leave it for a few hours, rinse it and viola, perfect shiny and soft hair.

    I guess it depends on your hair type, but I've grown my hair really long doing that.

    Egg and hot water lol that made me giggle.

    Thanks OP - my subscription copy has just dropped through the letterbox and it does indeed contain a 50ml pot of Shea Body Butter. Haven't opened it yet, but I usually love these body butters and have a few other varieties so am hoping this one will be just as nice :D

    Over the moon - especially as my subscription was only the 3 issues for £1 offer which was posted on here a while back :D Can't believe what a good deal that was!
