TheBodyShop AW picks!

I was recently given the opportunity to try some new products from The Body Shop, this was exciting as I am already such a fan! The Body Shop are running a new campaign at the moment titled ‘Get the look’ in which they have inspirational looks using their own products. I was given some great shades suitable for this season!
All in one BB Cream - 03 £12.00*
I was most excited to try this as I much prefer tinted moisturisers or BB creams rather than foundation for everyday wear. The BB cream is advertised as colour adapting; I was given shade 03 which is too dark for my skin tone as you can see in the pictures so I don’t really know if it adapts or not. The cream comes out white but as you smooth it into the skin the tint appears. The application is smooth and non cakey and for a BB Cream the coverage is very high. I might look into buying a shade lighter as it comes in another three shades but it is a little too scented for me.

Smudger Brush £9.00*
This brush is a lot bigger than the typical eyeshadow sponge applicators so I use it for applying highlighter on top of the cheekbones instead.

Colour Crush eyeshadow- 320 Grape Expectation £7.00*
Plum is one of my favourite colours and I was happy to receive this eyeshadow. The application is smooth and the colour is quite opaque and very shimmery! I would most likely apply this underneath the waterline as a pop of colour rather than on the eyelid. They have another 29 colours to chose from and these eyeshadows can be made to look more intense if applied with a damp brush.

Colour Crush lipstick- 325 Darling Blush £10.00*
When I saw this lipstick on the site I was quite apprehensive as the swatch online is nothing like the actual product! I really love this lipstick and it is so the shade I would go for, it is a pink tone with gold shimmer in it making it almost peach. The lipstick is creamy and moisturising too. I will be definitely be getting a lot of use out of this one!

Shimmer Waves- 01 Bronze £16.00*
We all know about the infamous Bobbi Brown Shimmer brick, this is that but at a fraction of the price! It is so pigmented and I would even use the palette for eyeshadow, blusher and a highlighter. They can be used individually on the cheeks or all at once by swirling the brush!

I hope you enjoyed this post. Please let me know if you have tried any products from The Body Shop? x
