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,
DAWN

The Body Shop Shimmer Cubes Palette 30

Hello loves!

The Body Shop released their Spring Trend Collection where they introduced their Limited Edition Hair Chalk. Other products included in the collection are shimmer cubes and lip glosses. The Body Shop sent us one of each a month ago and this is one of the loots we received:

The Body Shop Shimmer Cubes Palette 30

This is Php 1,295.00 and the collection offers two shades.


At the bottom of the palette are names of each shade...

And here's a closeup of the shades. I've arranged them according to how it is listed at the label.

The shades included in the palette aren't that unique. I have palettes from other brands that have almost the same shades.

But even though I don't find it unique, I still love how pigmented they are!

Check out the swatches below:

Aren't they vibrant? Even if they are very neutral shades, they still look fun and very alive because of its boldness and shimmer.

Below's how I usually apply the palette:




I added a blue eyeliner to add that extra "UMPH" to the look.

With a really good eye primer, the eyeshadows last the whole day on my lids.

I wish I could try the pink version. It looks so cute and feminine. If only it were a little more affordable, I would get one too! :P

Do you like The Body Shop's Shimmer cubes? What do you think of this particular one? 


Cheers,
DAWN

Canmake Spring/Summer Collection Launch

Hey everyone!

Liz and I were invited to Canmake PH's Spring/Summer Collection Launch last Thursday at Shangri La Hotel, Makati. Besides the launch, they will also celebrate the opening of their third branch located at Glorietta 2!


We came in early. We were one of the first few to arrive so I took the privilege to take photos of the place...
Canmake products and posters were decorated around the stage...

A makeup station and a makeup chair were prepared on the stage which made us assume that there'll be a makeup tutorial on the event.

Cute paperbags with cute products inside were also prepared and displayed near the entrance.

And once we were seated, we were given press materials. With this, we had an idea on what we will be talking about during the event.

But before the main event started, we get to enjoy these!

Delicious food from meat pies and quiche to sweet cream puffs and cookies.


We first had an introduction of what Canmake is about along with the new products in their Spring/Summer collection for this year. I'm so thankful that Ms. Sachi Ogawa brought Canmake to the Philippines. We can finally enjoy these cutesy, budget-friendly products!

We also got to see the products in action! Ms. Bea Almeda, their chief makeup artist, gave us tutorials on how to create two kawaii looks using the Canmake goodies!

First was the Kawaii Day Makeup. The look was very natural and it looked like the model's skin was glowing when the makeup was done.

The second look was the Kawaii Night Makeup. The look had bold eyeliners which I believe is the star of the look.

After the tutorials, we got to know the skincare products that Canmake offers.


We learned that Canmake actually made their products according to the Philippines' climate. They altered the products so that it blends better with our skin in this very humid climate in our country.


The products are also very mild and effective. Who would know that the girls on the picture above are 37 and 40 years old? Amazing, right?

Afterwards, we got to try the products for ourselves.

Look at our fellow bloggers and guests having fun playing with the cutesy Canmake products! Items that stood out for us were the Eyeshadow Base, Face Powders, Eyebrow Gel, and the skincare range catered for oily and combination skin (mine and Liz's skin types respectively).

And oh! Before we left, we had polaroid pictures taken! :P

After the event, we went to Glorietta to check out their newest branch. It's located at thSomera boutique (Glorietta 2 beside Sunnies by Charlie). 



Half of the store is occupied by Canmake and you'll see the pretty products displayed on the well-designed, princessy themed shelves. There were so many people inside that taking pictures became a bit hard. I wasn't able to take much photos, not even the outside area of the store. It just shows how excited people were that Canmake is now available in Glorietta.

And so that's what happened last Thursday. Pretty exciting, huh? But of course, we have to share with you what we learned during the launch. Here are the products included in the collection with their corresponding descriptions from the press release:
