The Body Shop Summer 09 

Hot Brights Collection!

Hot Brights Blush Pink OR Bronze
Hot Brights Eye Color: Pink/Purple OR Blue/Cream
Hot Brights Eyeliner: Purples OR Blues
Hot Brights Lip Shine/Cheek Stain: Pink OR Bronze

What do you think of the collection? I think it is going to be ok. I am liking the the Lip Shine/Cheek Stain in Bronze

The other colors are ok. It seems like it is going to be a release of the same ole' things. I liked the Moroccan Rose Collection but this I am not sure.

The Body Shop Eye Color EyeShadow 42 Velvet Green NEW Color

I love this new color! It is an intense deep green black. Its super soft and very sexy.  It glides on like a dream and is super blendable! A awesome color for a new twist to the smokey look!

It was only $12. I highly suggest looking at this new color. There are 3 new colors.  I think the quality of their makeup has gone up since L'oreal bought them.

They are  made with community trade marula oil to condition the eye.

The Body Shop Moroccan RoseFlower Pink Blush, Shimmer Cubes Palette 18 Spring 09

So I went to try out the Moroccan Rose Collection at the Body Shop. 

First thoughts pretty elegant simple packaging.  The plastic that the eyeshadows/blushes come in remind me of Shu Uemura's newer cases.

I love the shimmery dusty rose color of the lipstick cases.

So I tried the whole collection and it was ok 

The whole collection smells like rose! Like a real heavily scented Rose. 

The Roseflower eye colors were ok. The sunshine gold is very light! Not like the girl in the picture at all! The Mint Eyeshadow is very pretty! However I have tons like it!

The roseflower radiance stick was very pretty as well. The formula is super soft! It does have a slight tacky feeling so that is why I did not buy it. The color is an intense light light pink shimmer.

Both Roseflower Blushes have gold shimmer in them which are nice. The fusia color is very pretty but very much like many blushes out there.

I really like the Pink color blush. It is shown below.

It is a baby pink with gold shimmer. You have to have a heavy swipe to get a lot of color.
I also purchased the shimmer cubes palette number 18. This is definitely one of the prettiest!
The colors are very shimmery and pigmented! I love love love them! The gray is a very pretty. It is an intense steel gray! The mint color is my second favorite! The pink and white shimmer are very hard to distinguish on pale skin. Either way this palette works great even for a highlighter!

The Body Shop Sparkle Eye Palette 01 Tropical Colors!

Once again I love the recent collection by the Body Shop. I am not sure if L'oreal helped them with this or not but it is a huge improvement to their makeup line! Check out my earlier review on the 02 palette in this collection.

The colors are so rich! The packaging is so pretty and glamorous! Also the little drawer at the bottom is nice if you want to put a lipgloss in there!

So here are the colors swatched on my hand. My favorite color is the one in the middle. It is a copper orange shimmer color.
I used all the colors on my eye. The yellow on the upper lid by the eyebrow, the copper on the outer eye lid and the lighter green on the inner eyelid and the dark green on the base. Then I took the white-ish gold and put it all of the eye and then I blended everything! 

Amazing!

The Body Shop Sparkle Eye Palette

I just adore the new body shop Fall 08 collection! I bought the Sparkle eye palette number 02 on ebay. If L'oreal helped make this line, then its a great improvement! The most recent collections with the two blushes were horrible and they did not blend well at all.

I love the sparkly package and the cute gem stone that holds it shut. It has a little rope that goes around the stone.
It has a very nice big mirror and it has a drawer underneath that has a double ended brush. Whats also neat is that the drawer is actually bigger than the brush so you can stick another brush or an applicator in there as well.

As you can tell I have not even tried it yet! Well just for my readers, I am going to swatch it now!
Wow the colors are gorgeous! They are heavily pigmented! I might have swatched too much! The first three colors I adore. The last two colors are dark for me, but if I use them sparingly I am sure I can make a soft smokey eye!

The first color is a pinkish white shimmer, then a rosy pink shimmer, then an intense silver shimmer, then a deep intense gray/black shimmer and lastly a dark navy shimmer!

This palette goes for $25 and its not too high and not too low (but too low is never bad). I have seen them on ebay for half the price! I highly suggest picking up this lovely palette or wait until after christmas because the palette will likely be 50% off.

There is also a tropical version of this palette with green, gold, and yellow. I will soon be getting it!
