This is the color I got to try out. A couple of weeks ago I got a email from one of the nice press people for The Body Shop. She asked if I would be interested in doing a review of their newest mineral makeup. I told her up front that I have my own line of mineral makeup but I am willing to have a open mind and test their out. And give my thoughts of the color, standing power and if it work best wet or dry.
I will be honest and tell you I LOVE The Body Shop bath and body products! Their body wash is one of the best, peach happens to be my favorite! I have done a review for The Body Shop before so I looked forward to doing another one for them.
I tested this color out three different ways on three different days. First off I found that it maybe thought of as a soft brown but with my blue eyes and pale skin with pink undertones, it shown more red that brown.
First day I wore it alone without my favorite eye makeup primer. I found for me personally it didn’t have the staying power I thought it would have. It didn’t last more than a few hours. I also felt that this color needs a black eye liner to really show it off.
Second day I wore it alone again only I used my favorite eye makeup primer FY… Eye by Benefit. That gave it more of a staying power, helping the mineral eye shadow color to last most of the day. Still felt it needed black eye liner.
Third day I tried with Overall Beauty Minerals in Camelot as the eye shadow base, with FY..Eye and I used it wet as eye liner. I decided this color is best wet as eye liner! It has more of a bronze look to it and it really made my blue eyes pop out. It lost its red undertones when wet. It makes a killer eye liner! I really like the packaging, the shifter is different being a net instead of the usual one with holes. That makes it easier to get eye shadow onto your makeup brush.
Overall I give it a 4 out of 5 because I feel being a The Body Shop product it would of had more staying power. I would take it over their other regular pressed eye shadows any day though, because of color and just being overall better product.
What are your thoughts of The Body Shop mineral makeup? Have you tried it yet?
