It was my birthday last month and I treated myself to a few bits from The Body Shop’s make up range. Thank you for the Love Your Body Club discount.
So what did I buy you ask?
Lip & Cheek Velvet Stick – this might look rather odd, it’s a sort of purple/black in the stick but it’s designed to adapt to the unique pH of your skin to develop into a poppy shade that suits your skin with a matte finish. It also smells good too with a floral scent.
At first I wasn’t sure about this but if you let it settle it really works – the soft reddish pink I got is really nice.
Lightening Touch Universal Radiance – an illuminating highlighter which is super easy to apply (it has a built in brush) and leaves skin dewy.
I really like this and can see it being used for brow bone and cheek highlighting.
Lipscuff – this green stick contains lovely mint to buff away dead skin on lips and moisturise at the same time.
My lips are super dry, especially in the winter so this is genius – a lip balm that’s also a scrub.
Drops of Glow Lustre Finish Creator – a multi use illuminator – mix it with your favourite foundation or moisturiser to add all over glow, layer onto eyelids for extra sparkle or use like a highlighter.
On days when I don’t wear make up this will be perfect mixed into my moisturiser to keep my skin looking healthy without needing foundation.
Shade Adjusting Drops (lightening) – this is a pretty famous product, mix it with that foundation that’s just a bit too dark to lighten it and make it more wearable.
Being quite pale I struggle to find foundations (and concealers) that are right so hopefully this will help level out the slightly too dark/orangey ones and make them more wearable.
L-R: lightening drops, drops of glow, velvet stick, lightening touch.
