After my previous post looking at some of The Body Shop's Frosted Plum products, I'm back with the rest of the products! The Frosted Plum range is limited edition for Christmas, and in addition to the usual products - Body Butter, Body Lotion and so on - they also come in some very attractive looking gift sets.

So I've been on the hunt for anything and everything that claims to give my dry, peeling lips some respite, and I just had to review these!
