The Body Shop Flavoured Lip Gloss in Lychee

Hey dears!

Last March I received a package from The Body Shop containing quite a number of loots. One of them is this...

The Body Shop Flavoured Lip Gloss in Lychee

It smells super good and it tastes so sweet! An even more sweetened lychee. I doubt that I can give an estimate of the product's lasting power since I can't stop licking it off my lips. LOL But it is just an ordinary lipgloss so I guess it stays for only a couple of hours. :P

It's packaged in a transparent tube. I do prefer my glosses with applicators than like this where you have to squeeze it out and you have to directly place the tube on your mouth. I just find this kind of packaging so messy and controlling the amount of product you squeeze out can be tedious compared to the glosses with applicators already. So I just carry around a lip brush with me at all times. :P

This is what's on the back of the packaging...

And here are more info about the lip gloss from the website:

High-impact, glossy colour with a juicy lychee flavour. This luscious lip gloss delivers super-shiny, sheer colour.

- Sheer colour

The heart inside:

MARULA OIL

Our Community Fair Trade marula oil comes from the Eudafano Women’s Co-operative in northern Namibia. The women hand-select the marula fruits, then the nuts are extracted and dried in the sun. The kernels are cold-pressed to release the oil. The 1,750 women involved in the project report that the benefits to them go beyond money. It also helps to give them a sense of independence, business management and confidence. To find out more, visit our Community Fair Trade section.

Apply to lips straight from the tube.

Swatch on my hand

It's like a translucent nudish pink. Almost the same color as my lips!

On my lips

It makes my lips look healthier and fuller. I like the finish but I wish it gives a little more coverage. :)

I guess that's all I have to say about the product. :)

The Body Shop Flavoured Lip Gloss in Vanilla

Hello dears!

Here's a swatch post of a very fragrant lipgloss I got from The Body Shop.

It's the...

 The Body Shop Flavoured Lip Gloss in Vanilla

This 12ml tube is Php 595.00 and it is included in their current Spring Trend Collection.

They also have a pink rose gloss shade included in the Spring Collection.

I LOVE Vanilla so when I got this, I was so happy. But then I thought, wait... this is a lipgloss... will the color of my lips be the same as the shade I see on the clear tube? Well, you'll see on the swatch photos at the later part of this post.

Labels on the tube

I'm honestly not a fan of lipgloss in tubes just because I hate squeezing it to get the product out. I tend to squeeze out too much.

So here are the swatches:

on my hand

Beautiful shimmer! If this were an eyeshadow, I would totally get one...

on my lips

My lips just got the very sparkly and fine glitters from the gloss. The color is pretty much the same except that it looks like Tinkerbell passed by and threw fairy dust on my lips. I wish it had some tint that is not... gold and shimmery so my lips would look alive. I can only use this when I have a lipstick underneath because alone, it looks... dull even with the glitters.

Good part about this is it smells so good! The vanilla scent is there but it's not too overpowering. It only smells like vanilla but doesn't taste like one. It's tasteless. If it were, I might just eat the gloss. Lol

So, any thoughts on The Body Shop Flavoured Lip Gloss in Vanilla?

Cheers,
