The Body Shop Colour Crush Eyeshadows in Fig Leaf, Blackcurrant Affair, and Steel My Heart

Hey gorgeous!

I'm always happy when I receive eyeshadows since they are my favorite makeup. Some of you may already know that The Body Shop has sent me a couple of palettes before but I think these single eyeshadows, which just came out this year, are my favorite among the ones I've tried from the brand. 

These are The Body Shop's Colour Crush Eyeshadows!

I currently have 3 of the 30 colors available. 2 of which I received from The Body Shop as gifts while one of them I received as a prize from their Facebook Contest I won some months ago. Anyway, the eyeshadows are...

Blackcurrant Affair, Fig Leaf, and

Steel My Heart

Each eyeshadow is Php 595.00.

Here's a product description from the press release I received a couple of months back:

An intensely pigmented, pearlescent or matte eyeshadow (dependent on color) with a silky-soft texture.

It’s easy to blend and great for building layers of color.

·    Intense color

·    Pearlescent or matte finish dependent on color

·    Silky-soft texture

·    Use wet or dry

All three shades I got are of pearlescent finish. I do agree with the descriptions. All these are very pigmented, which is why these are my favorite eyeshadows I've tried from The Body Shop. Just check out the swatches below:

They look great, don't they?

They aren't chalky and they feel silky when applied which makes the pigments glide easily to the skin. And they are very long lasting too! With a nice eye primer, they can last the whole day on my oily lids! 

I am eyeing other shades from the line—Berry Cheeky and Grape Expectations to be exact. I'm saving up since these can be a bit pricey. Good thing The Body Shop often offers discounts! :P

What are your thoughts on the eyeshadows? Have you tried them? Which shades do you like?

Cheers,

DAWN

FOTD : Steel Raspberry

Hello loves!

Here's my FOTD last Saturday when I went out to buy some stuff for my upcoming birthday celebration... I'm trying to make it extra special because it will be my first time spending my own hard-earned money for my birthday.

More on that later... I still have more than two weeks left to prepare. Getting so excited here!

Anyway, this is what I looked like:

I used two of my newest makeup which were gifts from The Body Shop.

I got the name of this FOTD from the two products' names. 

These are the eyeshadows I used:

The Body Shop Colour Crush in Steel My Heart

Sephora Eyeshadow in Starry Sky

Here's how I blended them together.

And below's the finished look with the eyeliners and mascara:

Used Majolca Majorca Lash King, Coffret D'Or Gel Liner and Wet 'N Wild ColorIcon Eyeliner in White. For my brows, I used KATE Brow Mascara. :)

And the other new product is the lipstick which I blogged about yesterday...

The Body Shop Colour Crush Lipstick in Red Hot Raspberry

And if you've noticed, my skin is quite "poreless," don't you agree?

I used one of my favorite primers, Coffret D'or Magicalflat Concealer. I'll do a review on that soon.

Used a MAC Studio Fix Liquid Foundation in NC25 and L.A. Colors Loose Powder in Light on my skin. My blush is T'estimo Blush in PK-18 but it's quite faint. And I also used Guerlain Terracotta Moisturizing Bronzing Powder in no. 10 for contouring.

So more selfie pictures below:

Most of the products used in this look have been reviewed in previous posts. Feel free browse around the blog for them. :)

So, how do you like the look?

Cheers,
DAWN
