I am finally ready to do a review on the Platinum Shimmer (Silver) Eye Color as I've been using this for several days.
I have chosen Platinum Shimmer because I can mix this with different e/s colors and Silver is the TREND nowadays!
Here's the product on my hand before I peeled off the safety sticker
And here's the color when swatched
Nature's Minerals Eye Color Says ---
Askmewhats Says ---
Pros
Cons
Overall
If you are into MMU and you are into wide variety of eye shadows, then Body Shop leaves you not much of a choice as they have total of 6 available eye colors. You can't blame them though as they have all the "basic" colors needed to create a natural look.
I personally like to swatch mineral products personally before buying as I can see the colors much better. I've also checked out the local Body Shop store and I've found not a lot of shades are available. I haven't checked other branches though.
If you are someone who's into sticking to natural looks and wants subtleness, definitely go with this as one as one tub lasts a long long time!
Tips
Will I repurchase?
Depends, if I find a nice shade that I like
How much?
At the local Body Shop, costs Php895 ($13 on website)
Watch out for more detail on this look!
On what products and brushes I've used!

Under the sea...under the sea....
I feel like I'm Ariel from the Little Mermaid

Best if you want to: Accentuate your eyes with crease-resistant, blendable color that’s made from the earth’s purest minerals.
Best for: suitable for sensitive skin
How it works:
- Mediterranean clay is an absorbent mineral that helps bind make-up to skin for long-lasting coverage.
- Mica adds luster and has light-diffusing particles to help disguise fine lines.
- Dermatologist-tested with no added fillers, preservatives or fragrances.

Pros
- the mesh cover works well for eye makeup as the sifter makes the e/s finer and makes it easier to apply and blend
- Color: what you see is what you get
- no eye allergies!
- foiling the eyeshadow doesn't change the color or shade but instead, makes the shadow more vibrant and stays longer
Cons
- very messy, be careful with fall outs
- if applied dry, I have to pack on the product for the color to show up on my skin tone
- have to use a primer/cream base for the product to stick on as the sample I have which is shimmery tends to fall out at the end of the day (read further below on tips on how to correct this)

Tips
- for any MMU, always have a big face brush ready to remove fall outs
- use a firm e/s brush to DAB (not swipe) the e/s onto your lid to prevent fall out
- in my opinion, most glittery/shimmery minerals tends to fall out at the end of the day faster than regular matte e/s. If you want this to stay longer and you don't have eye primer or base available, FOIL it, how? Read on ---
- use a taklon brush or a concealer brush (the stiffer the better)
- drop an eyedrop onto the brush and remove excess
- swirl the brush onto the minerals and pat it on your lid gently
** TESTED, the minerals stayed longer!
