I love the Body Shop’s makeup line. Their colors are always fresh and shimmery, without being too young and sparkly. Their fall collection is all about the shimmer. From luminous eye and cheek trios, to metallic eyeliners to satiny lipsticks, The Body Shop’s Precious Pearlescents collection is a completely bright and fun line to color our Autumn.
The products in the collection are:
Colourglide Lip Color ($12.50) – This lipstick claims to offer vibrant lip color that moisturizes, glides on effortlessly and provides long-lasting color. I do think this lipstick lasts a while on the lips, but it is a bit dry for me. I love that it contains Community Trade marula oil from Namibia, natural sesame seed oil and organic Community Trade beeswax. It also has a nice Tahitian gardenia fragrance and vanilla flavor. The lipstick is available in a whopping 37 shades so you are sure to find the color for you!
Eye Trio ($16.00) — I love, love, love this shadow. This shimmery trio comes in two color combinations, Moonlight Trio (the one I have), which is silver, green and lavender, and Sundown glow, which is beige, copper and chocolate browns. The cool thing about it is that you can use the colors separately — the silver is gorgeous as a lid color — or sweep a shadow brush around all three colors and you get an iridescent mermaid eye. Very pretty!
Blush Trio ($23.00) — This is like the Eye Trio in that you can use separate shades or swirl them all together and use as one blush. This soft, shimmering blush comes in Cool Dusk, shades of pinks and berries and Warm Sunset, shades of peaches and bronzes. This is a very light and pretty look that would work well at all times of the year.
Metallic Eye Definer ($11.00) – This smooth and blendable eye liner is infused with Vitamin E which is a protective antioxidant. The colors are Brilliant Blue, Vibrant Emerald, Shimmering Steel, Burnished Amber and Glowing Amethyst. I really enjoy the soft shades of these liners as they are very versatile. I like using the Burnished Amber beneath my eyes for a subtle shimmer and the Glowing Amethyst on the top lashes for a smoky effect.
