They come in a standard Shimmer Cubes packaging of four cubes snuggly fit into one quad..

All are metallic/shimmer finish..these are pigmented enough..especially the darker shades..and glide on well..blend effortlessly..I use only my fingers at times..and can be used both dry and wet..the colors are more intense when used wet.

T-B: Think Pink, Live Lilac, Go Violet, Tint it Pink

Think Pink is a soft romantic pink
Live Lilac is a frosty pastel lilac
Go Violet is a deep violet/plum
Tint it Pink is a pale frosty pink..a good highlighter..

A perfect pink and purple combo of shades..

I did this look only using fingers and it worked great 🙂 Let me know if you would like a tutorial..

Pros:

1. Quite pigmented..esp the Think Pink and Go Violet.
2. Stay on 5-6 hours even without a primer.
3. Since these are all metallic/shimmer finish..they glide on smooth and can be blended easily..
4. Can be used with fingers too.
5. Nice and unique packaging.
6. Pinks and Purples work for most warm skin tones.
7. Can be used both wet and dry..and colors are more intense when used wet.
8. Qty would last quite long.
9. Cruelty Free.

Cons:

1. Expensive.
2. If you prefer only matte shades, this is not for you.

I cannot think of any other cons for this..I love pinks and purples..love how pigmented they are..and stay well..and are so easy to use..that I just use my fingers when in a hurry..Surely recommend this..especially if you love pinks and purples..

The Body Shop Lily Cole Puff On Radiance Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: These magical little beads deliver shimmering colour to face and decolletage. The supersoft integrated puff is made from manmade fibres. It’s limited edition so don’t miss out. Catch it while you can.
Pink tones
Dermatologically tested
Integrated cruelty-free puff
Limited edition


How to use: Using the puff, sweep powder over face, cheeks and decolletage.

MRP: Rs. 1395/-

It comes in a super cute round packaging with a super cute puff which has bow knot on top..how cuter can it get..


There is a plastic separator between the beads and puff..the beads are in shades of gold, silver and pink..


This is quite easy to use..I have tried both the puff and brush..the puff is wider to highlight small areas like cheekbones..would work for the collar bones and decolletage..this is a little too shimmery as a highlighter for my taste..as I prefer subtle highlighters..but if you are a shimmer fan, you would love it..

When used all over the face lightly with a kabuki brush, it gives a nice pearlescent glow..which looks nice for night time parties, etc..

T-B: Pink, Golden, Silver, Combined

Pros:

1. Cute packaging.
2. Easy to use.
3. Stays well.
4. Has gold, silver, pink..so can be used individually or all together..
5. Would work great for collar bones and decolletage.
6. The qty would last ages or for generations 😀
7. Gives a pearlescent glow when used all over..

Cons:

1. Expensive.
2. Has parabens.
3. I am not a fan of too much shimmer for face

Overall if you love shimmery highlighters, you would love this..if you love cute packaging, then you would love this..but if you a fan of subtle highlighters, then you may give it a skip..

The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Dome 20 Pinch Me Pink Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Cream-to-powder colour for lips and cheeks that’s easy to wear and easy to blend.Wear it just as it is or under lip gloss.They’re limited edition so don’t miss out. Catch them while you can.
For lips and cheeks
Natural-looking colour
Dermatologically tested

Available in 2 shades: Pinch me Pink & Crazy for Coral

How to use: Dab onto lips or cheeks straight from the dome. Blend using clean fingertips. Layer to build up colour.


MRP: Rs.895/- for 10ml


The Lip and Cheek Dome is a part of the Lily Cole Cruelty Free Makeup Collection


To start with, its a super cute dome ! Does’nt looking at this makes you feel like you want it..man such a cute concept and thing..and the shape :p

It is creamy and glossy in texture..spreads gel like..and gives a sheen..I use my fingers to use it on the cheeks..as I don’t want the whole thing to touch my face..use it on lips directly..

For the cheeks I had to go about 4-5 times with it..and when I blended..it seemed to vanish..but after 15-20 minutes..it gave the most beautiful pink flush ever…those just pinched cheeks..or just out of a gym kinda flush ! I got the logic that it settles soon to a powdery finish and the color shows up later..so you need to give it some time..on my lips too..it gave a soft pink glossy lip and then settled to a matte finish in 20 mins..the soft pink stain stayed..

Pinch Me Pink is a nice soft pink..with no brown or plum or any undertone..just a true pretty pink ! The other shade Crazy for Coral, is I feel too light for our skin tones and does not show up much..

Pros:

1. A multi purpose cheek and lip product.
2. Gives the most awesome pink flush on the cheeks and a soft pink stain.
3. Travel friendly.
4. Super duper cute packaging.
5. This is going to last forever !

Cons:

1. Expensive.
2. Need to go about 4-5 times on the cheek.
3. Stays for 3-4 hours after which it fades off.

Overall I do love this..in fact I love all multi purpose products ! And the soft pink shade is to die for too..if you dont mind the price tag, I did surely recommend this..the coral shade would not show up much though.

Would I buy it again: Its a huge product to finish off..and its an LE, otherwise I would love getting this pink..

Body Shop Lily Cole Collection Eyeliner, Hi Shine Lip Treatment Review, Swatches

I had shared about the Body Shop Lily Cole Collection HERE..reviewing the liquid eyeliner and Hi Shine Lip Treatment today..and the two way mirror..

Lily Cole – Hi Shine Lip Treatment

What the Company claims: You can never have too much lip gloss, especially when it’s as super-glossy and super-delicious as this. Our wet-look gloss gives maximum shine and has a sweet flavour too. They’re limited edition so don’t miss out. Catch them while you can.

High gloss
Moisturising
Dermatologically tested
Sweet flavour
Limited edition

MRP: Rs. 400/- for 6ml

Shades Available are Go Pink, Go Naked, Go Wild and Go Play

I am reviewing Go Play which is a peachy nude shade..these are transparent glosses with shimmer..with just a hint of color..these would not cover pigmented lips..

Has a sweet fruity smell which I like..and is little sticky in texture..which actually makes it long staying..these are quite moisturising as claimed and high on shine too ! More so for topping up lipsticks if you like glossy, shiny pout..

It has a built in slanted applicator which makes it easy to apply..and is quite travel friendly too..the only issue would be removing the product at the end..

Lily Cole Collection Liquid Eyeliner 20 Ink Up Violet

What the Company claims: Our liquid eyeliner goes violet. Easy to control, the felt-tipped applicator puts colour exactly where you want it.It’s limited edition so don’t miss out. Catch it while you can.

Easy to apply
Smudge-resistant
Suitable for contact-lens wearers
Ophthalmologically tested
Dermatologically tested
Limited edition

MRP: Rs.795/- for 3ml

Its a felt tip liquid eyeliner..the felt tip makes it easy to control and use..dries to a semi matte finish..it sure is smudge proof and stays put the whole day..

Ink Up Violet is a true bluish violet shade..though I like the shade, it sure is pretty expensive for a liquid eyeliner..of 3ml qty !

Here are the swatches..

The two way pink mirror is quite cute. Great for grooming on the go. Two mirrors – one magnifies. A perfect handy mirror for your bag. Surely recommend it..

MRP: Rs. 595/-
