UK bloggers may have seen that the September issue of InStyle magazine came with a free gift of the Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain in two different shades. As I'm a bit (okay, a lot) of a sucker for freebies and fashion magazines I snapped this up immediately in the shade Rose Pink.
It's a lovely light wash of pink that looks very natural and healthy, in my opinion. Here I'm wearing it over my Collection 2000 foundation, but yesterday I tested it out on bare skin and it works just as well, if not better! It also lasts for AGES, so I'm very impressed! I'm wearing it on my lips in this photo as well and it gives them a barely noticeable pinky tinge and doesn't dry them out.
I also have a couple of FOTD posts to show you:
As you can see in the tube it looks more of a pinky red, but when swatched it's definitely pink. I couldn't get a clear photograph of the swatch but here's a token awkward smiling pose showing you what it's like on the cheeks:

I feel you can see the cheek stain more clearly in this one, I don't know! I'm also wearing my Urban Decay liner with a slight sweep of gold eyeshadow, and my usual foundation, as well as the Chanel mascara I reviewed in the post below. You can see the effect of the mascara in the photo below:
Hi Dani, we've never met but I went to Canterbury with Jon :) Stumbled across your blogs the other week and have been really enjoying both - I am pretty useless with make-up but you are def inspiring me! I am pretty much obsessed with salivating over Urban Decay Half Baked in Boots, for example...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm not a member of any of the 'follow' thingies but I wanted you to know you had another, lurking, reader out there! Keep going :)

Hi Martha! It's nice to "meet" you, Jon's told me lots about you :) I'm really glad you enjoy my blog, I'm not exactly an expert with make-up though, it must be said! I just enjoy buying it and playing around with it :) and yes, Half Baked is gorgeous, I think Urban Decay are evil for creating such lovely colours and pricing them so highly *sigh* thank you so much for reading my ramblings! xxx
