Advantages: Looks great on lips

Disadvantages: Not so great on cheeks

Price: £9.25
From: The Body Shop
For: Natural colour for cheeks and lips

The packaging as usual with the Body Shop is very appealing. It looks stylish and classy. It's a usual lip gloss type wand with a transparent tube so you can see the colour of the stain through it. The lid is silver and has the wand attached to the inside.

The wand has a sponge tip which makes it easy to apply to the lips. It feels nice to use but as it's a stain and not a gloss or balm it doesn't have any moisturising effect on the lips or anything like that, it just absorbs into the skin and disappears, leaving just the colour behind.

It comes in 2 colours, rose pink and bronze glimmer, so whether you like deep rosy coloured lips or a more natural look, there's a stain to suit. The colours both look great, and you can make them deeper by applying more until you get the colour you want.

I'm not really a fan of this as a cheek colour as I find it quite fiddly to apply and blend and it doesn't seem to give a particularly natural look on my pale skin, so I stick to just using it as a lip stain. It doesn't dry lips out and you can apply any other lipstick or gloss over the top.

All in all this is a good lip stain, but not so great for cheeks.
Thumbs up from me.
