Welcome 2018 with Bright Colors




Since I was a little girl, celebrating New Year means wearing something RED.
As I grow older, I understand the real meaning of New Year and wearing bright colors doesn't cover what's in your heart.  I strongly believe in having a BRIGHT Outlook in life to attract good vibes!

But of course, wearing bright colors doesn't hurt!  Since I felt the need to outgrow the usual Bright Reds on New Years Day, I've decided to mix a bit of Pantone 2018 Color of the Year which is Ultra Violet with RED which is a true Magenta shade.


I was able to browse through my big pile of lipstick for this perfect shade to jumpstart my 2018!

According to The Body Shop website:

As always, our make-up mantra is to 'play it cleansafe, wear it bold', so you can count on vegetarian make-up that's kind to skin.

Housed in a simple matte black packaging with the shade of the lipstick printed on the exterior, there are a total of 7 shades under this line.  This is described to be a matte lipstick with high pigments thus creating intense color in one swipe.  I love the fact that this product is Animal-Cruelty-Free PLUS 100% Vegetarian.  

I personally fell in love with The Body Shop's Matte Lip Liquid but it doesn't hurt to go for a lipstick once in awhile.  I"m not sure about you but year 2017 was the year for Liquid Matte Lipsticks and I wanted a bit of change for the New Year.

Swatch: 425 Lima Magenta
Lima Magenta is a purplish pinkish red lip color that would work for women with fair to dark complexion!  Fair complexion girls can apply this light hand or create gradient lips while medium to darker complexion girls can apply several layers for that strong, intense color.

I love the pigmentation (as compared to other The Body Shop lipsticks in the past), this is definitely high shine yet it goes off pretty matte several minutes after application.  Lima Magenta goes true from tube to lips and it is non-drying, non-flaking, long-wearing and stays with minimal touch-up.

Of course, the Liquid Lip are longer-wearing but I find these more forgiving for users with dehydrated lips.

This year, I am more adventurous with the lip colors I wear!  And I'm definitely including this Mangenta shade from The Body Shop!
