The Body Shop Colourglide Shine Lip Colour in Pink Flash

Hello beautiful people!!

Do you like pink lipsticks?

The Heart Inside

MARULA OIL

Our Community Fair Trade marula oil comes from the Eudafano Women’s Co-operative in Namibia. Marula fruits are hand-selected, the nuts are extracted and dried in the sun. The kernels are cold-pressed to release the oil. By setting up their own factory, the 5,000 women members have gained entrepreneurial skills and, they tell us, a newfound self-esteem. To find out more, visit our Community Fair Trade section.

This lipstick is indeed moisturizing! The colour can be a little hard to wear. I had to wear foundation for me to pull this off because without a nice foundie, it somehows highlight the dullness of my bare face. Lasting power is just okay. I have to reapply after eating, drinking and the like. 

It's a light pink shade, sort of metallic. I rather wear something matte or a bold pink color though but I still wear this once in a while. It looks good with dark eyeshadows!

Have you tried any of The Body Shop's Colourglide Shine Lip Colours?

  2. I do agree that this shade is quite difficult to pull. I have to do a certain makeup look so that this will look decent on me. :P
