Review || The Body Shop Seaweed Pore Perfector

Hey Guys!

So on the hunt for a good face primer, I've come across this little product. It's the Body Shop Seaweed Pore Perfector.

So I went into the Body Shop and asked what primers they sold and they recommended a few. One had a tea tree scent which I personally cannot stand, and the other was one in their makeup range. However, I decided to go for this one because it claims to perfect pores, and also has much better qualities for the skin, and since I have have noticeable pores and sensitive skin, I just had to try it!

So I apply it in the morning before any makeup and moisturiser, and I do find that it makes my foundation lasts a bit longer. It makes your skin feel really smooth, but after a while I do find that it sinks into my pores slightly. So far I don't think it has broken me out in any spots which is great, and it also has a really nice fresh scent. 

It comes in a little tube with a pump on the top which I really like because I don't really like product when they are in tubes because inside the lid tends to get really messy. But this product stays nice and clean around the pump. You don't need a lot of product at all. I use barely one pump to cover all over my nose and T-zone. 

Overall, I really do like this product, and is nice for a break from thicker primers that may not be the best for your skin. 

Review || The Body Shop Colour Crush Lipstick

Hey Guys!

So as you may have guessed, I've been adoring deep red lip colours this winter, and I think I'm going to say it - this is my favourite lipstick! A big accolade to have, but this lipstick really deserves it, because it really is such a good product. I'm talking about the Body Shop Colour Crush Lipstick in the shade 125 Crazy Sexy Crimson.

Ahh, it's just so beautiful. So yeah, I've mentioned these Body Shop lipsticks in previous posts ( for example my berry-pink shade in my Favourite Winter Lip Colours Post http://hobbsessed.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/favourite-winter-lip-colours.html ) but I've recently purchased this shade, and I'm absolutely in love with it! 

First its the most perfect dark red shade, quite purpley, but not too brown, and I just really love this colour and I think it really suits people with dark hair. If you wear a little bit and sort of blend it out, you can have not such a bold colour, but I like to wear it nice and bold. 

The formula is so soft and it's quite balmy, and can be quite transparent, but when you build it up you get a lovely opaque colour. It also has moisturising qualities, so it doesn't dry up your lips throughout the day which is an added bonus! It doesn't necessarily last for ages, but seeing as it has no long lasting claims or anything, you don't really expect it to last for hours; but unless you are either drinking or eating something, it generally tends to stay on until you do. 

It has a faint rose scent, but I'm not the biggest fan of this, and sometimes doesn't taste very nice, but you don't really notice it for very long, so it's only a minor disadvantage. These lipsticks are also quite cheap, and I honestly just believe that it is one of my favourite ever lipsticks.  

There are loads of shades in this range of lipsticks; paler nudes to brighter pinks/oranges and a great range of reds, and I think there there will be a great colour for everyone! Teamed with the great moisturising benefits and colour payoff, I would suggest this lipstick to anyone, and just think it's a brilliant product with my perfect colour! WOO!
