The Body Shop Sheer Lip Colour

I have two of these lipsticks and love them! In total there are five shades. 01 Pink. This is a Barbie pink shade. 02 Guava. This is a deep pink almost purple when you look at it in its packaging. 05 Ruby. Yes you guessed it this is red. 06 Blush. A deep pink, without the purple tendency. 07 Caramel. This is a taupe colour. Yes, I am sure you noticed and think that I cannot count but you are wrong, I can 03 and 04 are missing from the list, they must have been discontinued at some point. As all the shades are very sheer do not think of them as being solid but a wash of colour so even though Guava actually sounds like ...  Read the complete review

These lipsticks are available in several different shades, but this review is going to refer mainly to the 01 shade, which is a salmon pink colour. To open the lipstick, you simply pull the lid off. To apply the lipstick, you need to twist the bottom around. The colour is quite nice, but it can take a few minutes of application to get an even coverage.

This lip colour really isn't anything special. It is soft and feels nice on the lips, but the ruby colour that I bought didn't provide me with a fantastic colour when I first applied it and it wasn't particularly long lasting either. I also found that the colour bled into my face once I'd applied it so I'd recommend a good lip liner if you are planning on buying this item. You do get quite a lot of lipstick for your money and I did find teh packaging quite "user friendly". You can twist the lipstick down into the packaging once you've applied which seems to prevent it from snapping. It also has a designer look to it, it is a nice silver colour, it's ...  Read the complete review
