So what are The Body Shop Shimmer Cubes like?
With Christmas literally around the corner it’s time to think up the perfect makeup routine for the annual Christmas party. The Body Shop Shimmer Cubes in 23 has a lovely combination of purples and pearly white to create the perfect smokey eye.
The shades from bottom to top (left to right) are 1. Velvet Plum, 2. Candy Pink, 3. Pearly White and 4. Orchid Purple.
You can take the cubes out and use individually or altogether as a whole. Each individual eyeshadow comes with its own separate lid so they don’t get damaged if you choose to use them separately.
I love the sparkle in each shade and how they look when swatched. I applied the shades dry and did feel that a few of the shades, for example Candy Pink, were very light and hard to see which is quite disappointing. The shades go really well together and have a lovely shimmer.
The Shimmer Cubes are also available in Warm, Blue/Grey, Pink and Green.
At £16.00 the Body Shop Shimmer cubes are quite pricey but you can use them individually or together so considering the prices of individual Body Shop eyeshadows they’re actually a bargain!
I give it 3/5
