The Body Shop 4 Color Eye Palette in 02 Smoky Moonstone Review and Swatches

(4x1,8g/0,06oz. - 28USD) I'm so lazy reviewing products, it's been a month since I got this palette, I know it's a bit late now but may be someone's still interested. So this the limited edition quad for 2013 new year collection from The Body Shop. Unlike last year, now it comes with two brushes, one is for shadowing and the other one is for more precision.

The finish of the first 3 shade is very similar, all very pearly and shimmery. The darkest shade has more sheen than shimmer.

The Body Shop 4-Step Smoky Eyes Palette 02 Golden Brown Review and Swatches

I got this beautiful eye shadow quad from The Body Shop recently, it's from their winter make-up collection. They have 2 different palettes, one of them is a cool toned greys and black palette and this one is a warmer palette with neutrals and browns. There is a dramatic eye shadow look that you can achieve with this palette. It shows you step by step how to do it.

Now look at this amazing packaging, it's their best one yet. I find it very Estee Lauder-esque. It comes with a mini borwn eyeliner pencil and a mini brush. I didn't expect much for the eyeliner and it didn't deliver too. The consistency is bad, not creamy not smooth whatsoever. But the brush comes very handy and it's also surprisingly smooth.

So the first shade is a pearly pearl shade lol. The second one is a mid tone brown with slightly copperish tinge to it. The only matt shade is the third one, it's a solid, flat woody brown. Fourth one is a cream, it's a clear based eye shadow with silver glitters. Glitters are not chunky, but they're quite big. I find it very similar to Mac's cream color bases, so it will crease, but it's good to have variations. All four have very good color pay off. It's a wonderful palette to travel with, I can spend days, even weeks with only these 4 colors.

The Body Shop Colourglide Lip Color in 55 Review and Swatches

(4g/0,14oz. - 14,50USD) 55 is a very pretty bubble gum pink, with sheer but buildable coverage. I hate this lipstick, it smells horrible like plastic, it's much worse than Maybelline Color Sensationals. And the consistency is so thick and hard, very difficult to apply, not a very smooth lipstick at all. I would expect much more from The Body Shop, since they have the exact price tag I strongly suggest you to go purchase a MAC lipstick instead of this one. This is even more drying than Mac lipsticks.

The Body Shop Lip Liner #13 Rosy Red Review and Swatches

(1,25g/0,04oz. - 10USD) The Body Shop lip liners are not the smoothest that I've tried, they are not bad though. They won't run quite easily. Rosy red is a red with some pinkyness to it, it's not truly opaque but almost there.
You have to watch out for it's ingredients, this small pencil contains 5 different parabens in it. Parabens make this pencil won't expire until 36 months, while they can make you cancer.

Blue Eyeliners Comparison, Review and Swatches

Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Liner in Binge: Very creamy and glides on very well, this shade is a very pretty midnight blue and it has a slight sheen to it. But one thing I noticed is that you can't get the full color with just one stroke unlike other UD 24/7 pencils. 17USD (0,04oz./1,2g)

Givenchy Magic Khol in Indigo Blue: Givenchy has very high quality products but unfortunately they are not widely available, but you can find most of their products at Sephora. So this eye liner is the most flattering on my eyes but it is the hardest to apply, it's very dry, doesn't glide smoothly. 21,5USD (0,03oz./0,9g) So you get less with more money but it's Givenchy.

Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Liner in Deviant: Again, very creamy glides on very well, softer then Binge, but has great pigmentation. This shade is lighter blue with tiny silver shimmers. 17USD (0,04./1,2g)

The Body Shop Metallic Eye Definer in Brilliant Blue: This product is a total waste of money it applies smoothly but goes everywhere throughout the day. The shade is very pretty though, shimmering blue. 11USD (0,04oz./1,25g)

MAC Pearlglide Eye Liner in Fly-By-Blu: First of, MAC is yet to make better eye liner than pearlglides. They have a buttery feeling, have great pigmentation and stays put. They should make them permanent and they should come in more variety of shades. This was a limited edition shade, mid tone blue with birght blue shimmers. 14,50USD (0,04oz./1,2g)

MAC Pearlglide Eye Liner in Petrol Blue: This is also a limited edition shade from MAC. It is again the perfect eye liner. This particular shade is dark blue with silver/blue shimmers. 14,50USD (0,04oz./1,2g)

MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Prussian: Dark metallic blue, has slightly purple undertones. The shade itself is gorgeous but powerpoints from MAC are very dry and very hard to put on. 14,50USD (0,04oz./1,2g)

Sephora Liner Electro in Electro Night: Midbight blue with blue shimmers, glides on smoothly but doesn't stay put, it goes all over the place. 8USD (0,0335oz./1g)

Prestige Cosmetics Liquid Eye Liner in Azure: This is a very inexpensive but fairly good quality liner. Doesn't burn my eyes like Too Faced or Sephora ones. It is, of course, not smudgable, stays put, but fades after around 8 hours. The color gets a bit lighter after it's dried. Has a hint of shimmer. Available at Ulta. (0,1floz/3ml)
