The Body Shop cosmetics

Has anyone tried their new line? They look great, and you can't help notice that many of their items seem to be trying to compete with MAC items. I did try one of their eyeshadows a few weeks back, before they were released, and it had the same consistency/feel as woodwinked...total silk! The prices are basically the same as MAC too, so before I try anything, I want to know if any of you lovelies have yet or not?

Also, does anyone use their brushes? They're inexpensive, so might be good backups?

Their eyeshadow brush is perfect for MAC paints!

I work at The Body Shop!

I tend to be the one always doing makeovers, so here's the lowdown on the makeup:

Shadows: The colors are great, but you definitely wanna put a primer on 1st...they crease easily. Also, as a warning, I experience quite a bit of fallout when I use them. Definitely try the eye shimmers over black liquid liner!

Mascara: Its decent stuff, I love the new Super Volume Mascara.

Lipstick: Very foolproof colors, but they're on the sheer side. I love that they don't dry your lips out.

Liquid Lip Color: LOVE this stuff!! Slightly shiny, good pigmentation, and very moisturizing.

Eyeliners/Lipliners: Decent quality, nothing spectacular.

Brushes: The brushes are hit or miss. I <3 the face and body brush as well as the blending brush (the new one though, with longer hairs. I tried to get a picture, but unfortunately, its still the old picture on the website).

Blush: The powder blush is fabulous! So is the Lip and Cheek stain. Not a fan of the new cream blushes though.

Hope that helps! PLMK if you have more questions
