THE BODY SHOP Smoky Eye Palette ~ Smoky Moonstone: Pictures & Swatches

I recently attended The Body Shop press day for the launch of their Christmas collection. Wow..the array of products that have been launched were impressive. This gorgeous palette is part of their new Winter 2012 range and is a limited edition (so you better get in quick!). The Smoky Eye Palette in Smoky Moonstone includes four eyeshadows in cool tones of moonstone and espresso. Aren't they just gorgeous? (Can you tell I love eyeshadows?!)

I really like this palette. The pigmentation is rich and you are able to blend it really easily. It also has a mineralised look. When it catches the light, it is simply gorgeous. The palette comes with a mirror, mini eyeshadow brush, mini eyeliner brush and step-by-step instructions on how to create the smoky eye in the picture (amazing!). This is great for those who aren't able to create a smoky eye and may need help. You can literally have this compact in your handbag and touch up wherever you are as you have all the tools you need.

Swatches below are in the order of the palette ~ Top L-R / Bottom L-R

Some of you may notice that the colours are really similar to some of the eyeshadows found in the Urban Decay Naked palette.

Instructions

You can pick this up in store or online. Click here. It retails at £14 which I think is great value for money considering the richness of the pigmentation and the brushes that are included. I will definitely get my hands on their other limited edition palette "Smoky Copper". If you haven't purchased makeup from The Body Shop before, it is definitely worth having a look at their products, you will be pleasantly surprised.

What do you think of the palette? What is your favourite Body Shop makeup item?

Thanks for reading!

This looks really pretty! I have not used much Body Shop makeup to be honest, but this does look nice. This palette reminds me of a Clarins one which is out at the moment :-) xx

This looks pretty! I never tried any makeup from the Body Shop. In my opinion the products of the Body Shop are overrated, but that excludes the makeup, since i never tried it. Maybe i should look into it..
