The Body Shop Shimmer Wave

Pros: Five neutral shades of shimmery color, subtle, makes your face glow
Cons: Doesn't last as long as some powder blushes, may be too subtle for some

Customer Appreciation Days for The Body Shop just passed and I sure took advantage of the 25% discount (plus another 15% I got from using a coupon). Normally, I stick to the bath and body aspect of the Body Shop and don’t get too into their cosmetics ...

Pros: Gorgeous colors
Cons: They do not transfer well to the face

This one looks soooo bloody cool in the case. It seemed like an answer to my prayers of trimming down the number of containers in my travel case. Unfortunately, I dropped it. On carpet, mind you. The bloody contents fell apart completely into chunks.

Now, I did not consider this a complete loss. The wonderful bronzy colors should still be usable, right? Wrong. I tried 3 different kids of brushes to get the color onto my cheeks or eyes. Nothing worked. Oh, there is color all over the damn inside of my makeup case now, but for some reason it is just crap as a blush or eyeshadow in this state.

Why? I mean there are relatively large pieces-parts still in with the powdered bits. If it won't work like this, I have little hope of it working nicely in its usual pristine state either. I will not be rebuying this one, as lovely as it looked in the case.

Into the trash it goes...
