I was bought the Shimmer Cube as a gift but have since bought it for myself in a different colour. I was originally bought the purple palette, but have since gone on to purchase the warm brown palette.

The name basically sums up this eye shadow perfectly; it is a clear plastic cube with four separate compartments filled with eye shadow. It has the Body Shop logo in the bottom corner on the front as well as the name in black. The purple collection has a dark purple, a plum shade, a light violet colour and a lighter cream highlighting shade. The brown are four different shades of brown from a dark brown, a grey/brown mix, a tan colour and a copper shade. Although these colours do have a shimmer to them, they are not too shimmery, these are very pigmented and once you actually manage to get some colour out, it is worth it. I had problems getting any colour to begin with and had to scrape at the top layer, I don't know if they cover the top with a layer of sealant but I had trouble to begin with. Once I got into it thought, they are not a problem at all. I have seen the blue version of these and the shades are beautiful, I haven't bought it as I don't wear blue eye shadow but they are very bright and eye catching. I think these are quite expensive as they cost £16 for the cube, obviously my gift was well received but I was shocked when I went into the shop to buy my second one and noticed the price. I did pay that and I probably would again as you get a lot of colour for your money and they do last a long time. They don't fade away or crease and there is very little fall out either.

Overall apart from the price these can't be beaten. There are enough colours to keep most women happy and who doesn't want happy women? Lower the price a little and voila, a perfect eye shadow.
