Sanctuary - Praying Mantis

The Sanctuary

Advantages: Works well!
Disadvantages: NONE

I had never used the Sanctuary range of products before but I recently received a big Sanctuary gift bag for my birthday with lots of different things in so decided to give it a try. The product I am reviewing is from their footcare range and is the skin softening soufflé. The Sanctuary began as a Spa in Covent Garden over 30 years ago. Their philosophy is all about providing the time, space and expertise for women to renew that glow. I've never been to the Spa but friends have been and they do say that it is a wonderful experience and definitely a very upmarket product. The Sanctuary beauty products were produced in 1998. Customers had been wanting to take the spa experience home with them without needing a therapist or special equipment so they came up with the idea of selling their products. Apparently they are only sold ...

Review of The Sanctuary

Seeking Sanctuary at The Sanctuary

Advantages: Relaxing, beautiful environment, fabulous treatments, helpful staff
Disadvantages: Expensive, can get busy, only available in London

The Sanctuary is, in a word, fabulous. It's a ladies only spa, based in London's Covent Garden.

It's easy enough to find, as there's a sticky-out sign stuck on the side of the building. There's a shop on the ground floor that sells Sanctuary branded products, and the entrance to the spa itself is at the back of the shop. If the shop isn't open when you arrive, it's not a problem as there's a bloke paid to stand in there and open the door for you to get in! So, climbing the stairs to the main entrance and "check in" for the spa, the first thing that hits you is how warm the place is - understandable, given that you'll be spending the day wandering round in an (optional) swimming costume or bikini. Then, it ...

Review of The Sanctuary

THe Sanctuary Body Butter

Advantages: Rich and creamy, quality product
Disadvantages: Smell not for everyone

The Sanctuary Body Butter. The Sanctuary began as a Spa in Covent Garden over 30 years ago. Their philosophy is all about providing the time, space and expertise for women to renew that glow. I've never been to the Spa but friends have been and they do say that it is a wonderful experience and definitely a very upmarket product. The Sanctuary beauty products were produced in 1998. Customers had been wanting to take the spa experience home with them without needing a therapist or special equipment so they came up with the idea of selling their products. Apparently they are only sold exclusively at Boots and of course you can buy them in the spa's themselves. I've always liked the look of the products as I think they have quite an expensive, quality look about them. I have used the foaming bath soak for quite a while but this is ...
