Skin-tone: Fair to medium
Hello beauties,
The Body Shop is one such brand we always rely on when it comes to skin-care. I am a big fan of body butter and shower gel from TBS but I have never been into much of their makeup. Before jumping on to proper makeup, I thought of trying this cute little lip gloss from them just to see how their makeup works. Scroll to know more about this cutie!
Price: Rs 695/-
Product Description by The Body Shop: High-impact, glossy colour with a sweet strawberry flavour. This luscious lip gloss delivers super-shiny, sheer colour.
• Super shiny
• Sheer colour
• Natural flavour
Directions: Apply to lips straight from the tube.
My Experience with The Body Shop Strawberry Lip Gloss:
Packaging: The Body Shop Strawberry Lip Gloss comes in a super cute inverted tube. The tube is a see-through one, so I can clearly see the red jelly-gloss filled in it. The tube has a slant tip which ensures easy application. The gloss looks very cute and can be a hand-bag essential. The tube has a small nozzle which lets out the needed quantity, but we have to be sure that we don’t squeeze it with pressure. The price is very expensive for a sheer lip gloss because adding a few bucks I could get their amazing body mists.
Shade, smell and feel on the lips: The strawberry lip gloss is sheer as it claims but has a very nice healthy red tint to it which looks very natural on my lips. The tint adds a lot of freshness to my lips making them transform from dull to healthy looking ones. The smell is undoubtedly the best part about The Body Shop products. It smells heavenly; full of juicy strawberries with a super sweet touch. It smells similar to the entire strawberry range. It glides very smoothly on my lips. It may feel a bit heavy and thick to some people but the glosses are like that so it is okay. It is a bit runny so the application has to be done carefully.
Results: The lip gloss gives an amazing glossy shine to my lips which looks very rich. The shine is really good as compared to the other “tube” lip glosses. It makes my lips look 10 times healthier instantly. Not only healthier but it makes my lips look fuller and defined as well. It is a bit thick so it provides my lips the needed hydration. My lips stay extremely soft and smooth throughout the day. It does heal dry and chapped lips instantly as well when used for a couple of days at a stretch. Overall a nice one for pretty pout but expensive for sure!

IMBB Rating: 4/5
Will I Repurchase/Recommend The Body Shop Strawberry Lip Gloss?
I love using this one but spending 695 bucks for a sheer lip gloss doesn’t sound worthy! There are cheaper alternatives available too.
Conclusion: They have a lot of makeup products to try from, so my eyes will be on them.
