The Body Shop Lip Liner Mauve Berry

The Body Shop Lip Liner Mauve Berry

Hello Beautiful Girls, I have been a huge fan of lip liners ever since I had known them. A good lip liner enhances the staying power of a lipstick and prevents it from bleeding while giving an even outline to the lips, therefore, it is very important for me to have color co-ordinated lip liners with my lipsticks. I have been buying lip pencils from Revlon and Maybelline and was quite happy with their performance; however, this time, I thought of trying TBS and here is what I came home with.

The Body Shop Lip Liner Mauve Berry

My Take on The Body Shop Lip Liner Mauve Berry:

I had initially intended of buying a brown lip liner, but then, brown and I somehow don’t gel well, so instead, I bought this lip pencil in the shade Mauve Berry. It is a matte berry colored lip liner with warm undertones in a sharpen-able regular pencil form with a steel cap. The outer color of the pencil is the shade of the liner which makes it easy to locate in a stash of make-up.

I personally like the shade and sometimes like to fill my entire lip with this color. It is a very common color and nothing great in natural light, but it looked so different in the store light and that is why I bought it in the first place. I might wear it during summers as the color is very light. I had a hard time getting the shade on to my lips since the pencil is quite hard and is not smooth. It gives a patchy application, grr, it is easily smudge-able, and is not at all long staying. It fades after a while and before you know it, it’s gone for good with leaving a light tint behind.

This was my first lip product buy from TBS and I think this going to be the last one too because I tried the lipsticks too and found them to be too sheer for my liking.

Now, let me quickly summarize the pros and cons for this product:

What’s Good about The Body Shop Lip Liner

  • Nice shade and suits me well.
  • Economical.
  • Natural ingredients.
  • Not tested on animals.
  • Sharpen-able.
  • Nice packaging, pencil itself looks good with the matte outer covering being the same color as the shade itself, easy to find in your make-up stash.
  • Good quantity for that price.

What is Not-So-Good about The Body Shop Lip Liner

  • Bad quality, really hard and stiff for an even application.
  • Gives a patchy application on lips.
  • Does not stay for long.
  • A little drying too.
  • A very common color I believe.
  • Limited shades to choose from.
  • Available only at TBS outlets.

This is how it looked on my lips:

Will I Repurchase?

In all, I don’t like this pencil and would definitely not repurchase once I finish this one.
