The Body Shop Cheek and Face Powder – Berry
There are 4 shades –
- Bronze (big leaves) – it has a metallic pink sheen to it
- Deep Plum with goldeny sheen – smallest leaves
- Pale peach with pink tones – medium leaves
- Bright pink- base
“Gorgeous ”
- Pigment- Strong
- Shiny- not glittery. These have high shine to them.
- Soft to touch
- Easily blendable
- Texture- smooth
- Price- damn! worth it.
The only thing that you would have to careful with these is that these might break easily. These are super soft to touch. Also, I don’t know why do they call it a face powder. These are so pigmented that they are best when applied as blush. Chestnut might be applied all over the face if you apply it with a very light hand but not Berry.
You can even use the individual shades especially for eyes, imo.
I have not seen something as gorgeous as these. The Body Shop – :yes:
😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 they are sooooo pretty..me liked the berry one more..am I strange?? That tester looks like its already broken a bit naaa…is so soft is it?
Boatload of emotions. 😀 😀
The pink tester was a little weird. But yeah these are soft and precious.
Note * Handle them with care. 😛
No berry would rock on your (in between Miss Hayek and Padmalakshmi) skintone . 😛
I am going to go out and soak some sun and get more like Padma Lakshmi…hehehehee
Are you supposed to pick patches of colour or just swirl all over and then pick up colour..or do either way as it suits??? Ohhhh ohhhh..me dying to get these…dying dying..hate you…
You can do either 😀

Hi Madhura,
Welcome to IMBB. 🙂
Yeah she uses a lot of bronzers no so may be that’s why. 🙂
Thanks a lot! 🙂
yay!!! finally a reply!!!
i think i was posting comments on the wrong articles i.e ones which r closed!!! :silly:
n i waited n waited n waited for ans to my query!!!
:waiting:
where did you post? errrr…
You close comments on older articles, Rati…how horrible….heyyy we protest…we need freedom to comment on all articles…protest protest…err….tea overload.. 😀 😀
I don’t..grrrrrrrrrrrr…… :teeth:
I am staring at these from past half an hour. Damn!!
Hehehehee…I will tell you what, Rati. You are a friend, and I neeeed to help friends..so just for that..I shall accept your dumb-looking Nars blush..and you go buy this one. Okayyy..that makes you feel much better? Sighh..I am such an angel O:-) O:-)
Yeah we can do an exchange thingy- you give me your chanel blush and take nars..And since you are such an angel, you would silently include a rouge coco also. Hai na hai na… :blush:
:bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb:
Me no liking my Chanel blush..:-( 🙁 errr..no fault of the blush I think…I just havent learned how to use a blush properly I think.
Oh I am totally liking it. So bloody pigmented. Just one swipe of colour is good for both the cheeks. And you know the brush that you were complaining about the earlier blushes, I think they are improved now. Not the softest ones around but not scratchy either.
Why you not liking?
My friend keeps telling me she sees no colour :-(( :-(( The guy at Lancome told me though that’s how it should be…people shouldn’t be able to “see” colour :-(( :-((
I mean it should be blended well. Which shade do you have?
Rose Petale..maybe the wrong shade na. I got it cos the Chanel MUA recommended it..:-( 🙁
I didnt buy the new ones though..ya I saw the brushes were better…i will give you my broom brush and you give me the new ones..hehehehee. I didnt get the new ones cos wowwww…could i see see see the colour or what..hehehehe..didnt like them when I tried them.
That’s a very very soft colour. You’d have to layer it to make it show. But it’s a pretty colour indeed.
If you have a cream blush may be you could blend that first on your cheeks and then apply this blush.
Yup true…is a soft colour.
oh Rati exchange offer gng on here!!! Wooow I have only colorbar blush to exchange…i dont mind taking either Nars of this one or chanel in exchange of that 😀
rati
i posted in your about section…
pls ans my query… :-))
i want the chestnut one…….want…want…want… 😀 😀 😀
.-= gunmeen´s last blog ..APRIL FOOL BANAYA!!!!! =-.

.-= sree´s last blog ..crushed flowers =-.
:giggle: :giggle:
welll… the chestnut one is toooooooooo gud to resist…..
i already hav 2 bronzers..tht too,dont use them tooo often..still i want tht chestnut.. 😕 :dazed: :hypnotized:
Oh these would be precious addition to your collection. 😛
Have you checked the Chanel brushes…not the ones that come with the blush/powder dabbas..their brush brushes??
I have seen those brushes but never bothered to check those out…like inspect kinds. 🙁
You picking any?
Can’t decide…they aren’t super soft you know..and they are superexpensive! Had asked my non-fav SA how much they cost and she very disinterestedly informed around 3000..I was like for which one..she was like they all cost around that much. I got so irritated..never bothered looking at them…she was acting so high and mighty – or maybe she was just new and unsure 😀 But anywayss..I read somewhere that their blush one at least..is non not super-soft cos thats the correct texture (?) to pick up their not super-soft blushes 😛 Never know..some Chanel-crazy person might have come up with that excuse though!!!
he he …guess you must pick up brushes from MAC atleast. They are pretty good and cost you way less. 🙂
I know sometimes these luxury brand SAs behave as if they own the brand. Wonder what makes them think that.
No idea..my usual SA is so sweet. Actually na..last time when I was trying the blushes, she used that brush only..and I was thinking wowww…that surely does grab the colour big time! I wanted to check out the EL brushes too..are they good..more importantly are they available in India?
ummmm….didn’t like the estee lauder brushes too much. or may be because I have seen only the tester brushes.
the body shop also has some good brushes. they are synthetic brushes so they are super duper soft. 🙂
I have their mini-brush set…is very okkkkkkkkkayyyy.
Ohh…the natural brushes are rougher is it..I really don’t know anything :-(( Yup the TBS ones are super soft.
Synthetic brushes are softer than the natural bristles ones. But most mac brushes are of natural hair and they are super soft. They take care of the quality…
If you are checking estee lauder, check the new brushes. Sometimes the tester brushes don’t give you a real picture.
Ya I will check…but I am definitely definitely thinking MAC is the best…those brushes in that video…they looked so good..err…hehehee..that could be because she knows how to use them too.
:X-P: :X-P:
HD, we are also smart. hmmmm :vampire:
Oh OC ur are 😉 but maybe ur surrounded by sooo many high-end brands that u might be missing ur old friend colorbar na 🙂
I have that also…You want a buddy for your peachy rose? I’ll send mine. 😀 😀
I want a buddy yes…but not twin 😛
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Both of them are soooooo gorgeous yaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT BOTH
I know so difficult to decide. Sigh!!!
Gorgeous… I can’t stop staring at it.. But I don’t know how to apply it :silly: :silly: Prob shall chk out the store
Priya , these are like MAC skin finish naturals. They give a highlighted kind of a look to cheeks.
And the berry one reminds me so much of the petticoat from In the groove collection.
Ahemm…Now I dont have words to describe.
Confusion in the readers mind
Was it Rati’s intention??
What intention….who intention…I have no intentions… O:-)
Look absolutely yummy both of them.
Am slightly confused bout how to use them though …
the small leaves, if I want them on my cheeks then how do I get it on my brush ? the thing is so tiny and the cheek brushes are kinda big ??
oh n i have a dusky complexion…waddya think nething from the berry would go on me ?
