The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain

It's been quite a while since I last posted, apologies. I just kind of got caught of in some things. I'll be posting every Sunday and Wednesday hopefully. Today's post is on The Body Shop's Lip & Cheek Stain in Rose Pink (01), available at The Body Shop.I got this about 2 years ago I think. This was my first stain and I haven't bought one since. Maybe cause I just loved this one so much. It comes in a tube plastic packaging with a brush applicator. It holds 0.2 Fl Oz/8 ml.

As you can tell by seeing, I've used up quite a lot of this baby. It has no a very weird fragrance, but it vanishes as soon as you apply it to your cheeks. I personally don't use it on my lips cause I don't think it looks very natural on the lips. I really like its brush applicator cause you can get just the right amount without having to dirty your hands. I spread it using my fingers, I don't like the feel of stippling brushes very much. With which most people apply cheek stains.

I think the stain has a beautiful color and gives a very natural flush of color. That blends very well. But you need to be kind of quick at blending after applying it to your cheeks. Cause otherwise it leaves a stronger stain of where it was applied. I think it has great lasting power, around 8-10 hours without primer! Even though most of my other makeup has come off, the stain stays. I guess that's one great benefit of stains. They actually stain you. :P

I got this for Rs. 1400. And it retails for $14 at The Body Shop Outlets. Overall I really like this product. It has a a long staying power. It looks very natural and is great for everyday wear, because it gives a very lightweight feel.
Hope the review helped! Please comment for any queries of suggestions! :)
