Full Swatch & Review Colour Crush Lipstick by The Body Shop

Hello gorgeous! How're you doing? Well, first I wanna ask: how many lipsticks do you have at home? I'm sure it'll be more than one, five, or even you have more than ten lip products at home. Lipstick is an important product for us, right? It's a must-have product in my pouch; the key to look fresh and pretty everyday!

The Body Shop launched 20-shades of lipstick in this Colour Crush series; consist of 4 best selling colours from previous collection and 16 new shades. This first animal cruelty free and 100% vegetarian lipstick in Indonesia has been released since October 2018 in Indonesia. The event took place in Monopoly Hotel, Kemang, South Jakarta. It was super fun; having Cinta Laura as the brand ambassador and lots of influencers there.

Back to the topic, there are some option for lipstick finish. Matte finish, glossy finish, velvet finish, and satin finish. Matte finish usually stays longer but drying. Glossy finish usually moisturizing and healthy lips, but wiped easily. As for satin and finish, they're in the middle of these two extreme finish. This Colour Crush Lipstick has satin finish, which is in more onto glossy side but with high intensity of coverage.

Product claim:
- intense coverage
- moisturizing
- sweet cherry seed oil, community trade beeswax from Cameroon, and Community Trade Marula Oil from Namibia

Size: 3.3 gr
Price: IDR 199.000

Packaging

This lipstick packed in a black glossy tube, with transparent palette on the bottom. This is kinda innovative, since the palette on the bottom can be used as lip palette. The colour revealed in the transparent part is actually the same colour that the lipstick has. To use the lipstick, we need to open the tube and rotate it.
The good point of the packaging is the unique concept of small lip palette on the bottom, and also it has complete information on the tube. It has shade label, product name, price, expired date, manufacturing information, size, and BPOM number. I always love products with complete information like this.

Texture

The texture of Colour Crush Lipstick by The Body Shop is buttery and comfortable on my lips. It glides smoothly. As for the scent, this lipstick has soft rose scent which makes me even fall deeper for this one. As you know, I always love products with good scent #girlsproblem hihi.

Colours and Pigmentation

They have 20 beautiful colors, as you can see from swatches. Here's the full swatch of 20 colors. I also swatch on my hand and my friend's (Grace) with dark skin tone. This shows that the colors suits both light and dark skin tone. I'm partly agree with the claim of intense coverage. As I tried and swatch all the colors, the color intensity between shades are different. For bold colors has much higher intensity than the nude ones. Also, there's something about the black shade. I expected this one's gonna be super pigmented and has high coverage. But when I swatch it onto my lips and hands, this one's look not too pigmented. It even moves as I touched my lips. If they rebuilt the formula, I guess they can reach a good intensity for this baby.

Overall
Overall, I think the lipsticks has good values as cruelty free and vegan, which makes good impact on the environment. Anyway, I also love how innovative the packaging is, creating a lip palette on the bottom of the lipstick. We can use this palette as lip palette, blush on, contour, etc without changing the original shape of the lipstick. Zhen bang!
I also love how the product fades (on red colors especially), just like how lip tints leaving natural stain on lips. If you love moisturized lips then you might wanna get this product. If you're more onto matte shade, then you might find another products that suits you better. Well, it's your choice, babe.

Here's my two favorite shades to create ombre lips! Steal the look by trying these shades.
