The Body Shop always come out with lustworthy Christmas items, this year, out of all their offerings, christmas scented body butters, shimmer atomisers and powder pearls, what caught my eye was the Smoky Eye Palette in Smoky Copper. A warm eyeshadow quad, perfect for a smokey eye lover like myself.
The eyeshadows themselves are rich and creamy, a really lovely buttery formula and the beautiful colour transfers onto the eyes and looks beautiful. They aren't the most blendable formula around but that's nothing that a Mac 217 brush doesn't sort out - a little blend at the edges works perfectly. The lasting power is what you would expect from high end eyeshadows and despite the gorgeous satin finish I'm pleased to report they didn't crease after a long day!
It's lovely seeing decent eyeshadow brushes in a eyeshadow palette, the liner brush is particular is fantastic which makes a massive difference compared to the usual doefoot applicator provided in most eyeshadow sets.
I've been pairing it with a Metallic Eye Definer Pencil in Copper Brown, a warm bronze colour, which is really creamy and doesn't tug against the eyes despite it not having particularly good lasting power on the waterline.
The Smoky Eye Palette Palette will set you back £14, which I can't fault at all - four lovely shades that are buttery soft included with two more than decent brushes! The Body Shop Christmas is available here and the Smoky Eye Palette is available here. Will you be visiting The Body Shop this Christmas?
