The Body Shop favourites: Part 2 (makeup)

Hello,

Rounding of my 2nd edition these are my favourite Body Shop makeup products. The products I have selected are:

1.Camomile Gentle Eye Makeup Remover 
2. Skin primer Matte It
3.Born Lippy Strawberry Lip Balm
4. Shimmer Cubes Palette 06
5.RoseFlower Blush 02

1.Camomile Gentle Eye Makeup Remover :

Camomile Gentle Eye makeup remover

According to TBS, float away the day with refreshing rosewater to gently cleanse and dissolve eye makeup. Also conditions lashes so they feel soft and silky.

This is one of the best eye makeup removers I have bought and repurchased. Just need to take 1-2 drops max on a piece of cotton and glide gently on your eye in one direction. No need to rub and move to and fro to get the product off. My lashes do not come off like before when removing mascara just dab the cotton onto the lashes and the remover will soak the product.

2. Skin primer Matte It:

Skin Primer Matte It

TBS claims it includes soothing chamomile and aloe vera extracts. For all skin types.

First of all not much description on the website. Basically it's a gel like formula and a matte primer. You just need a small amount (a little more than a pea size) to apply all over face and neck. Instantly your skin will feel velvety and smooth. I prefer letting it set for 2-5 min and then applying foundation. The staying power is great the eye  shadows won't crease or budge from place (the premier function of the primer is served). Definitely keeps shine away very good for people living in hot humid weather where the dilemma of melting makeup haunts us all.

3. Born Lippy Strawberry Lip Balm

Strawberry Lip Balm-Born Lippy Collection

This is a limited edition balm I got however other options are equally great. The moisture is amazing and as it does not have a shade so I find its best to layer on matte shades that can turn dry at times. It has a great fruity strawberry scent which just makes me layering on. 

4. Shimmer Cubes Palette 06:

Shimmer Cubes-06-swatches in flash and without flash

TBS description: Get big, eye-opening results rich mix-and-match palettes of blendable eye shadows that can be used wet or dry. For all skin tones.

Chocolate brown shades Iridescent finish Crease-resistant Dermatologically tested Ophthalmologically tested

This palette is in the warm tones including shades: honeycomb, dark chocolate, marshmallow, choco chip. 

As I have a warmer skin tone the only color that does not do much for my skin is Choc chip. It's a taupe shimmer brown and for my lids its just to much shimmer and you really have to rub your finger/brush in the product to get some color, however all other shades are highly pigmented. The amount of product is a lot, I got mine a while back and they are nowhere hitting pan any time soon.

Quick Tip; damp you sponge tip or brush and then use the shades definitely adds more bling as well as pop to the shimmer cubes. 

5. RoseFlower Blush 02

Marshmallow-04

RoseFlower-02

I got this bright pink blush (rose flower-02) a long time ago and its not really available in the same packaging though the same color is available in "All-in-one" blush 04 Marshmallow. It is the perfect pink for the radiant flush look and works for any skin tone from the lightest to the darkest. The staying power is great and the color is good all year round. 

Best use with the bright lip trend as you don't want a lot of colors on face. It will just had a glow to your face!
