The Body Shop Colour Crush Eye Shadows

Hi loves…

It’s a very hot day here in Cebu, no winds and no indication of rain at all – sun’s rays are quite biting your skin when you go outside!

Enough of the musings, I’ll start na with my reviews on this over cute eye shadow singles! The Body Shop Colour Crush Eye Shadows in the shade 105 – Oh, Honey and 240 – Gorgeous Gold. Both are of silky textures and weigh 1.5g. Got them during one of The Body Shop’s sale, originally priced at Php 595.00 but got them on a 40% sale price of Php 357.00 each. 

Product description:

These Shadows are intensely pigmented, vibrant eye shadows with a silky-soft texture. They're easy to blend and great for building layers of color. They are all dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested and suitable for contact lenses wearers.

Enriched with Marula Oil from Namibia. Marula oil comes from the ripened fruit of the marula tree which is native to many parts of Central and Southern Africa. The women of the co-operative extract the kernels from ripe marula fruits by hand, and then cold-press the kernels at their factory to extract the marula oil inside which smoothens and moisturizes the skin.

Got the following shades:
Oh Honey (left) - a sheer beige with gold micro shimmers
Gorgeous Gold (right) - a sheer gold with gold micro shimmers

What I like about TBS Color Crush Eye Shadows?

A  mineral makeup
With a silky-soft texture

Applies smoothly and very easy to blend texture

Dermatalogically and Ophthalmologically tested

Suitable for contact lens wearers

Can be use wet or dry

Fragrance free

Available in more than 20 shades, also in matte texture

What I don’t like about TBS Color Crush Eye Shadows?

Not intensely pigmented (contradicting to what it claims to be intensely pigmented)

Needs an Eye Primer for the color to show or you need to apply several times!

Shadows are very sheer and fades easily

Shadows tend to fall onto my face

Pricey for a 1.5g product

Will I repurchase?

No… perhaps I’ll try the matte shades!
