cosmetics from the body shop.

What a lovely sight, a bunch of new Body Shop goodies. oh I could just stare at it all day, but i'm not, instead i'm going to show you what i got...

all-in-one cheek colour. 'macaroon' shade 01. £8.

i've been looking for a peachy-pink subtle blush for a while now and i'm pretty pleased with this find. i think i'll get a lot of wear out of this. it's a matt shade which i like as i prefer wearing separate high-light products rather that being a big glitter-face.

pressed face powder. shade 02. £12.50.

i'm going to use this product for days when i'm a little bit more oily and need that extra bit of coverage over my base ie foundation or bb cream. first look, i'm impressed it looks very fine which i like, matt, and not a bad match to my skin.

all-in-one bb cream. shade 01. £12.

i have been SO excited about trying this! since purchasing my first bb cream (garnier) i've barely worn foundation and haven't looked back since. i love the idea of bb creams; looking after your skin whilst wearing make-up and concealing inperfections. this one for body shop is a colour adapting cream. so, it comes out white but in fact, it's filled with colour capsules which burst when you start rubbing and adapts to the colour of your skin. so far i really like this product. will keep you updated as i have a feeling i'll be wearing this lots! Also keep an eye out for a comparison post too on 4 different bb creams.

top-bottom: tea-tree concealer. shade 01. £6. all-in-one concealer. shade 00. £8.50. lightening touch concealer. shade 01. £14.

yes, i've gone a bit concealer made but as mentioned in my last post my skin has gone crazy recently. I've not been very well so i've been really pale with mega dark circles and i need some extra help concealing these bloody spots. the tea-tree will be for spots/blemishes. lightening touch for under eyes/round nose and all-in-one for any other areas.

carbon eye definer. shade brown, £9.

another product that i've been using for a long time. i've also got the black shade and just love these eye liners. it comes with a smudger on the other end which is good for a classic smokey eye or just as a bit of a more subtle eye liner. i really enjoy using brown eye colours as i have blue eyes and it makes them pop.

super volume mascara. shade cobolt blue. £10.

just for a bit of a change i fancied buying an electric blue mascara, for days when i just can't be bothered, this will add a bit of colour to my eyes without much other effort.

love gloss. shade 13 pale pink. £10.

you've gotta have a pink gloss in your collection haven't you? this one tastes lovely, isn't too sticky lasts pretty well. i'm a bit disappointed at the shade; its a lot more iridescent on my lips as the swatch in the shop but i will still wear it.

once again, i cannot fault body shop products and glad to have these new additions to my make-up collection. as well as the brilliant quality, at body shop you can be assured that animals haven't been tested on. 

I forgot to mention in my last post that i specifically went to the body shop to purchase all these bits on sunday as there was a voucher code running up til sunday for a huge 30% all purchases in store. i saved so much money it was brilliant, didn't feel quite so guilty splurging!

all products can be purchased in store or online at http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/index.aspx and they always have great deals going on!
