Body Shop baked makeup and more!

I just about made it to the Body Shop event yesterday, *claps for leaving the decorating* the star of everything on display was clearly the baked make up. I always attend the Body Shop events as I have a soft spot for them as I grew up with most of their products and still shop from them regularly.


The immediate eye catchers are the face products resembling Macs mineralised skin finishes and blushes. They are slow baked for 24 hours in Italy on terracotta discs which can be used wet or dry. There are 2 shades of bronzer and blush available.

My shade in the bronzers is the Golden Bronze as I have a olive/tanned complexion, the Warm Glow is for fairer shades but I found that it makes a great highlight on my skin. These bronzers are glittery, but they are quite finely milled, I wouldn't recommend applying them all over the face as a standard matte bronzer as the shimmer can look a bit odd in direct sunlight. However, as just a cheek product they are beautiful. Chase Aston the make up artist applied some on me and my cheeks looked beautiful if I do say so myself! :)

Bronzer price: £14.00

Blush Price: £12.00

The blushers are very pretty, the Petal shade I found to be more pigmented than the Coral shade. They have 2 sides, a highlight and a blush side which can also be used mixed together. I personally prefer the coral shade mixed together as it looks quite subtle with a tint of colour.

There are 8 eyeshadow shades available, the only one that stood out to me was the 2nd one in the 1st row which is called Quartz. The pink is like a paler version of Mac's 'Stars n Rockets' e/s with the same duo chrome finish, the darker side is a Aubergine shade with hints of pink.

Eye colour price: £9.50

Would I recommend them? I would say check out the bronzers and see if you can stand the shimmer in them, the blushers are pretty depending on the shades you like, the eye shadows are quick and easy to apply with your fingers just like the shimmer cubes. I do think they are overpriced for what they are as they are not high end products but they are quality, I would suggest keeping an eye on discounted offers and promotions.

Available: July 2010

Being the skincare freak that I am, something else grabbed my attention, TBS are also revamping their vitamin C line. They are introducing a new product called 'facial radiance powder mix' which is a serum you mix and use morning & night for 10 days to see an improvement in skin tone. I have used it last night and this morning and will keep you up to date if any thing miraculous happens.

I also popped into Space NK and picked up a contoured blush brush for £8 on sale from £16.

And.... I also popped into H&M and picked up these jewellery pieces, I wore the yellow ones yesterday and they looked so hot! The angular earrings and cool ring is also pretty hot too. The necklace is for my hubby..

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! Will you be checking any of these items out? X
