The Body Shop shade 05 delipscious SHEER elderberry – Review and Swatches !!

Friend post by Tejinder kaur 

Hi everyone hope u all r fine..nice to cum back again in this blogging world .,.i had a good trip to India for two months..and fully enjoyed with my family..
had an awesome trip n samar my son enjoyed a lot n learned Punjabi as well....

Now cum back to my review..



Today I come up with short review of body shop elderberry lipstick. Elderberry is a lovely plum lipstick from TBS new delipscious line, which claims to have all-natural, food-grade ingredients. 

What Product Claim:






Sheer moisturising lip Colour with a fruity flavour. Made with food-grade ingredients including natural blueberry and pomegranate seed oils. It looks like a dark purple in the tube, but it's actually a very pretty reddish purple - a plum...

Packaging: 



A sleek metal tube with apples on the bottom half, and the product name on the top half. It is attractive, Simple and stylish.



Pigmentation:

Pigmentation is not good. Need to swipe 2-5times to build up the colour.Lasts only 2-3 hours without eating or drinking, but if you eat or drink need to reapply.The product is very tasteless as thought that product would taste like elderberries as name represent; unfortunately it didn't taste like anything. It does have a berry-like smell but that also doesn't last on my lips. The moisture level is pretty good. This lipstick gives lips a hint of sheer colour with a beautiful, high-quality sheen.



Colour Description: 

It is dark purple colour in the tube but on the lips it doesn't show its effect. I prefer to use as a gloss over lipstick as one swipe gives good glossy effect. It is lovely and wearable colour.

Texture: 

It is very soft, thin and smooth but not creamy. It is suitable for all skin types.

Quantity: 2 g

On my lips



Price: £5 from The Body Shop  ( I bought in sale )

  2. Nice review Tej. Even with low pigmentation, it is looking lovely on your pink lips and at least it is good on the moisturisation part. Otherwise, too costly for the lip balm effect.
