Advantages: It contains natural products.

Disadvantages: It didn't apply very well or last very long.

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 quite sturdy and you wouldn't be embarrassed to apply this product in public.

The Body Shop prides itself on the quality of ingredients. This lipstick contains: avocado oil - to moisturise the skin, also helping to prevent moisture loss; and vitamins A and E - antioxidants that help to soften, condition and protect the skin. Usually the product ingredients encourage me to buy from the Body Shop range, but in this case I think they may have hindered the product because it was too moist at first, then it started to crack; it didn't apply particularly well and it didn't last long at all.

In my opinion these lip colours are aimed at an older market and my mum or gran might very well enjoy using it, but it wasn't for me.

For £9 I want a lipstick that comes in a nice colour, lasts a while and looks good in my makeup bag. This lipstick didn't tick the boxes for me and I won't be buying it again.
 

Summary: Proceed with caution.
