First Impressions- The Body Shop Colour Crush Lipstick

It's not often that I treat myself to new make-up. Being on a budget I am the type of girl who likes to use a product until there is nothing left before going out and purchasing something new.

Recently nearly everything ran out at once, which gave me the chance to go out and try some new things. I picked up three products from The Body Shop, a brand that I have never tried before. Since we don't have one in my town I decided to order online and as a bonus was able to get 25% off my order using a coupon code!

The first product I want to share with you is the Colour Crush Lipstick. I chose the shade 120 Raspberry In Love. From the image online I could see it was a rich purply- red shade which I thought would be a perfect colour for Autumn/ Winter.

It's a creamy texture and feels like it's not going to dry your lips out if you are wearing it all day. I really like the colour pay off you get with this product. If you apply it with one swipe its slightly sheer and with a second,  you get a more opaque colour like shown in the swatch below. Another thing I am really liking is the slight shimmer in it which I think lifts the colour and stops it being quite as intense as a matte lipstick might be in this shade.

I have worn this lipstick on a couple of occasions now and you can see it on in my last post Everyday Autumn Make-Up as part of my new everyday make-up routine.

This lipstick wears surprisingly well throughout the day for a creamy lipstick. 2 hours and a cup of tea after applying, I found that some of the colour had transferred of but it was still looking great.  

When I first tried this product out, I wore it for about 6 hours, ate and drank numerous cups of tea and only had to touch up twice!

Overall I am really impressed with this product. I love the colour, formula and packaging. Theres a really good selection of colours to choose from and all retail at £10. Normally I wouldn't spend this much on a lipstick however if you can get yourself a discount then I would highly recommend trying this lipstick.

What's your favourite lipstick shade for Autumn?

I have two more products from The Body Shop that I will be sharing my thoughts on so stay tuned for those!
