Beauty With Heart: The Body Shop Cruelty Free Makeup Collection Review And Swatches (No Pink Cows Involved!)

July 9, 2012 by Bun Bun 14 Comments

“WOAH, PINK COW!” was what immediately came to mind when I first saw the Limited Edition, Lily Cole makeup collection from The Body Shop.

I’m not that kind of beauty blogger who dives into the sciences of products; I don’t squint at ingredient lists, I don’t dig up researches and lab tests done on ingredients and tell you how good or bad it is for your skin, I don’t really bother what goes inside that bottle of goodness (or evil).

The kind of beauty blogger I am, is simply, the kind who tells you whether it works or doesn’t, it looks pretty or pretty much sucks, it stays or vanishes before you even have had time to take your first toilet break of the day. That kind, I am.

I am also a superficial sucker for packaging (you are too, don’t deny HAHAHA!), so when I saw the pink and black prints, and ribbons, and pink stuff and more pink stuff everywhere, my mood lifted!

Not that I was down, but pink is the symbol for universal love, beauty, kindness, compassion. Lovers of beauty favor pink. That’s why Bun Bun Makeup Tips banner is pink. Lol. (I hope it still has some pink in it if you’re reading this in year 2027.)

And that’s why I smiled when I saw the new cruelty-free makeup range from The Body Shop!

And coz pink cows are cute.

Now that they have caught your and my attention, let’s get down to beauty beyond box and stickers.

The Body Shop Puff On Radiance Highlighter

The first item that reached out and grabbed me by the neck and screamed ‘You will love me! Look at how pink and fluffy and girly I am!’ was the Puff On Radiance.

Glam Up Your Lips With The Yves Saint Laurent Touche Brilliance Sparkling Touch For Lips Glamorous Red #11

November 27, 2011 by Bun Bun 9 Comments

Do you ever keep something away, not because you dislike it, nor are you in love with it, but because you can’t decide what is it that you feel, that you don’t want to finish it up too soon? Lol.

The YSL Touche Brilliance in Glamorous Red has been lying in my makeup cabinet for far too long and I decided to do a review on it. Maybe I will find out how I feel after this post is complete. Maybe you can help me decide too.

Everyone knows about the legendary YSL Touche Éclat, the complexion highlighter that is said to be able to conceal dark eye circles, fine lines and brighten up the skin. I don’t own it by the way, but I’ve swatched it and……… maybe I will be more objective in a review when I do own it some day.

The Touche Brilliance was inspired by the Touch Eclat, the look and mechanism at least.

Gorgeous Lip Shade

Glamourous Red is a gorgeous cherry red with sparkling gold shimmer that looks sophisticated and atas (local slang for prestigious. haha!). I feel like a rich tai-tai when I put this on. Or maybe it’s because I know I’m putting some YSL baby on my lips.

The shimmer is aplenty, but does not rob the base color of its shine; it co-exists with the red very well.

Sometimes I apply Glamorous Red on top of a lipstick, but most of the time, I think it looks smashingly good on its own. In the above picture, YSL Touche Brilliance Glamorous Red was used on its own.

Lip Balm, Lipstick, or Lipgloss? Find All Of That In The Lancome L’Absolu Creme De Brilliance Lipgloss

October 29, 2011 by Bun Bun 13 Comments

Like many ladies out there, I am confident of answering, if a stranger walks up to me and asks “What lip product do you have in your bag?”.

I’d say the Estee Lauder Lip Conditioner SPF15 (I bring this everywhere I go), and then easily 1 or 2 lipglosses.

I am not a lipstick kind of girl; I’ve tried Sephora, NYX, Stage, Rimmel, L’Oreal, many more, but they just don’t become favorites as easily as lipglosses.

In fact, I’m not a lip product person at all. I’ll do the whole lip conditioner, sometimes lip pencil, then lipgloss routine when I’m done with my face and eye makeup, and that’ll be the only time I’ll be seen with anything on my lips for the rest of the day.

Asian-Specific Shades

I don’t know, but why can’t we just have all the shades, huh? I own 2 of the 6 Asian-specific shades – Rose Nu and Rose Grenat.

Rose Nu 06

Rose Grenat 395
