At first, there were no 24 shades at the store..only 12 🙁 And out of the 12, I liked only a few..some were those deep brown and maroon :/ I have the swatches of those few I liked for you all..

And secondly no names are mentioned on the lipstick tube anywhere :/



230 Rush of Pink– A frost pale pink
310 Crush on Caramel– A nude brown (310 and 230 interchanged :p Sorry)
115 Enraptured Red– Pinkish red
130– Frost Peach
330 Spice Things up– Frost lighter peach




335 Hot Date– A light mauve plum
101 Red Siren– A true red


Most of the pretty shades like 205,etc were not there..are they all launched in India ? Or only half of them..and if half, then why 🙁 As only 12 show up on the site..And there were many frost finish..I am not a fan of frost finish..and I guess most of you are not..

Anyways, I picked 2 of these..can you guess which ? 😉

And which is your favorite ?

The Body Shop Color Crush Eyeshadows Brownie & Clyde, Moonlight Kiss Review, Swatches

I had mentioned about my The Body Shop Haul HERE..I am reviewing those two color crush eye shadows today.What the Company claims: An intensely pigmented, eye-shadow with a silky-soft texture. It’s easy to blend and great for building layers of colour. Dermatalogically and Ophthalmologically tested. Suitable for contact lens wearers.

Intense colour
Matte finish
Silky-soft texture
Available in 11 shades.
Use wet or dry

Shades Available: Berry Cheeky, Berry Cute, Blackcurrent Affair, Blue Over You, Moonlight Kiss, Brownie & Clyde, Sugar Glaze, Sand by Me, Chat-Up-Lime, Caramel Flirt, Boyfriend Jeans

MRP: Rs.695/- for 1.5g

This comes in a small single pan plastic packaging..but its quite sturdy and clicks shut…the eyeshadow pan can always be depotted if you wish to..

225 Brownie & Clyde is a pearl finish taupe brown..a perfect everyday neutral shade..you can wear to work..and add some smokiness or smudge a kohl beneath for turning it to a night look..

015 Moonlight Kiss is a perfect matte black..super duper pigmented..and stays for hours..no fall outs, no creasing..

Why a perfect matte black eye shadow is an absolute necessity in your makeup kit ?

  • For black smokey eyes ofcourse
  • For any smokey eyes..to intensify the smokiness in the outer corners.
  • To be used as a liner…with a slanted angular brush
  • To set your kohl and make it stay all day..just use a cotton bud and dip into your matte black eyeshadow and layer the kohl with it..this would absorb the moisture and kohl stays longer.
  • For easy soft smokey eyes, just smudge some kohl and a matte black eyeshadow lightly.

These are silky smooth in texture and super duper pigmented..especially the Moonlight Kiss..do not crease and stay put whole day !

Here are the swatches..

Pros:

1. Super smooth texture.

2. Amazing pigmentation.
3. Does not crease or fade.
4. Stays put whole day.
5. Available in 11 shades.
6. Can be used both wet and dry..and more rich when used wet.

Cons:

1. A little expensive but if I compare them to MAC..these are quite affordable.

Overall I love these..both these shades are my absolute favorites..Sugar Glaze and Caramel Flirt are pretty too..I love taupes so chose Brownie & Clyde..a good everyday neutral and a rich matte black eyeshadow every girl should have and I found my black ! Highly recommend these..Moonlight Kiss is much better in terms of texture and pigmentation compared to MAC Carbon eyeshadow..and both are 1.5g.

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..

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.

Rating:

Quality: 3.75/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 4/5

Overall Rating: 3.75/5

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/-
