Lip Sync



The Product: Body Shop's Lip Butter

The Claims: "Add wow to your pout. Condition as you smooth with this little pot that's big on Community Trade softeners. Just try not to keep kissing it off!"

Before I talk about this product,I must say that I am a petroleum jelly fan. I feel nothing works better on the lips than good old vaseline and have a tendency of comparing every lip balm with it

The Verdict: The claims,i feel are exaggerated. It pales in comparison to petroleum jelly. I admit it is a cute thing to be had in the purse but i will never buy it again after this is over. I will probably fill in some vaseline in this tub.

Fantabulous!!!!!



The Product: Body Shop's Brilliance Powder

The Claims: "A lightweight sparkle powder with shimmering pearls that provides a natural-looking sun-kissed finish for the face and body. Available in a shimmer or matte finish."

If there is anything that works wonders for this product,it is the packaging. There are many such products in the market that come either like beads or in a compact-like box or in the form of a loose powder. This is the first time that i have seen such an attractive packaging. As shown in the picture, it comes in a tube with a brush that dispenses the product.

The shimmer is too good be it the transparent or the bronze version.Its usability is as versatile as your imagination permits.

The Pros: the shimmer, the versatility and the fact that it can be kept in your bag always.

The Cons: I felt the brush could have been softer. I am not even sure if the brush can be washed

The Verdict: It is a must have. Just right for a glam evening do or for those days when u want to look made up without actually going overboard.
