The Body Shop ~ Color Glide Lip Shine Lipstick

I've been reviewing lip products mostly, must seem like I'm really into lip products. Well, to be honest I can't really decide which makeup product is my favorite. I'm actually obsessed with all makeup products, lipsticks, eye shadows, blushes, highlighters, bronzers, anything! And today I'm reviewing The Body Shop's lipstick, in the color glide lipstick line, the color I have is Rare Coral (11), available at The Body Shop.

It comes in a beautiful metal packaging, and seems quite solid in the hand. Also, the size is very compact.

The color I'd say isn't coral, even though the name suggests. It's more like a warm peach-ish nude with very beautiful fine shimmer, which doesn't really show up but just gives a glow. 

The finish is shiny, as the name suggest. The lipstick has a very faint sweet smell. I'm not sure how to describe it, it's like that smell which comes from high-end lipsticks. In the picture above the color looks more like a pinkish-coral, but the color is very slightly coral I'd say. Or isn't coral at all. The color is very sheer, it can be build up, but I think since the lipstick is shiny, it feels heavy on the lips if build up. It feels like having a lot of lip gloss on the lips. The finish is creamy satin like. It's a very nice every day sort of color, and quite suitable for the summers.

The lasting power of the lipstick is not very impressive. I guess that's because of it being similar in application to a lip gloss.

Here is the swatch: 

This above picture does justice to actual color I think, since it's more like a light pinkish peach shade. Though in the picture the fine shimmer isn't visible. It's more like golden fine shimmer. I bought this lipstick for Rs. 1400 at The Body Shop. Prices vary in different countries according to the exchange rate. The Body Shop products though are very widely available in several countries.

Final verdict, I'm not very pleased with the lipstick, I guess cause I don't like too shiny lipsticks, they kind of feel heavy on the lips. Otherwise the color is nice. It's a type of color that can be pulled off with a dramatic eye. But I don't really find myself reaching for this lipstick much.

The Body Shop Color Crush Lipstick ~ Review + Swatch!

Today I'll be reviewing The Body Shop's Color Crush lipstick in Coral Blush (110), available at The Body Shop. It's a beautiful bright summer color. And it's one of my favorite lipsticks, though I'm not sure which lipsticks are exactly the one's I love the most. I always wear lipstick depending on my mood, the weather, how I feel and etc. The lipstick's name is quite on spot, cause the color isn't exactly coral. It's like this extremely beautiful mix of pink and coral, hence the name; coral blush. It really brightens your face if you look tired and at the same time isn't too bold. The packaging in nice and decent, like a standard lipstick. But it has a colored cap. Which I like and makes this lipstick easy to identify among my other lipstick. This is how it looks:

The lipstick has a sweet fruity fragrance, not too overpowering and doesn't bother me at all. I actually like it. The color is I think a type which can suit a lot of skin tones. Since when I was at The Body Shop the assistant there said to me that this color was one of the shade that got sold the most. This is how the lipstick looks:

The lipstick is long lasting, at least for me. I wore it to University at around 8 am and by 4 pm, my lipstick still looked fine. Just a little faded at the inner sides of the lip, cause of eating and drinking. The finish is really beautiful, it's not completely matte but its not shiny at all. It's like perfect, not too creamy either, and it feels light on the lips.

I bought this from The Body Shop on a sale, for I think about Rs. 1000. I lost the receipt so I'm not exactly sure about the price. But it was something around that. Cause it retails for Rs. 1400 normally but it was on 30% discount.

Here is the swatch:

Overall, I really like this lipstick. It's a color that I can pop on whenever I feel I need to brighten up my face. And it lasts very long.
