Guess who got advantage of the 20% sales at the Body Shop?
This is the last Shimmer Cubes I had to get from TBS permanent makeup collection: I'm now a proud owner of all! Can't wait to find new colour combinations and make my own mix&match palettes, weee!!!
***Before I go on with the swatches, I feel the need to make a little protest:
see the white eyeshadow at the bottom left? 3 out of the 5 permanent Shimmer Cubes have the same shade of sparkly white, albeit with a different name. It's exactly the same eyeshadow running through every palette, not like three shades looking similar to each other. And, considering I own one more discontinued Shimmer Cubes containing that colour, that makes 4 little cubes= 1 whole palette of sparkly white eyeshadow that I don't even use much! Ugh... ***
But enough with the nagging; take a look at the Purple Shimmer Cubes!
This palette consists of two flattering purples, along with a wearable pink and your ever-present shimmery white eyeshadow for the inner corner of the eyes. Normally I'm not that fond of purple/plum eyeshadows, but this ensemble looks too good to pass up!
Orchid purple: such a stunning shade, this should make a beautiful smokey eye!
Candy pink: a wearable shimmery pink. Doesn't make the eyes look sore...
Pearly white: already talked about it a lot, 'nough said!
Velvet plum: a gorgeous plummy shade with amazing pigmentation! I can imagine this to look perfect in the crease. This eyeshadow got me the most excited!
Phew! So that's my last post on the new Shimmer Cubes that the Body Shop brought out this year. If you'd like to see the previous posts I've done with the rest of the palettes, click to see the Blue, Pink, and Green Shimmer Cubes.
Are you tempted by the Body Shop Shimmer Cubes?

Αν και πλέον δεν αγοράζω σκιές γιατί έχω όσα χρώματα χρειάζομαι, θα ήτανε ψέμα να πω πως όποτε συναντώ κάποιο shimmer cube δεν το γλυκοκοιτάω. Χαχα αυτό με την ανοιχτή ασημί σκιά!!! Δίκιο. Πάντως έχω εντοπίσει κι άλλα χρώματα που μοιάζουν στις διάφορες παλέτες. Φιλάκια.
ReplyDeleteΑ ναι, ειδικά με τα LE Shimmer Cubes, όλο και κάποιο χρωματάκι μοιάζει με κάποιο από τις μόνιμες παλέτες! Αυτή η καινούρια με τη Lily Cole έχει 2 σκιές που κάτι μου θυμίζουν ;)

δνε θα ηταν ωραιο να μπορει ο καθενας μας να φτιαχνει το δικο του shimmer cube?
ReplyDeleteΝαιιι, το έχω σκεφτεί κι εγώ αυτό! Να σου δίνουν μια άδεια παλέτα και να επιλέγεις να βάλεις τις αποχρώσεις που σου αρέσουν, τι τέλειο! Αλλά δεν το βλέπω να γίνεται, σνιφ :(

I go through phases.. sometimes i use my gold colored ones EVERY SINGLE DAY for like a month. Then I dont touch them, throw them away.. then rediscover them. Its a weird cycle!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors but I feel like the texture is not 100% for me so I think that's why I keep being unfaithful!
Oh I know what you mean, they have that weird texture and they tend to harden over time, I use my fingers to apply them as no brush seems to load enough product! The warm Shimmer Cubes are so gorgeous, though ;)
