Body Shop Moroccan Rose Flower Lipsticks

The Body Shop launched their limited edition Moroccan Rose range for Spring 2009 that includes makeup, bath and body products! Somewhere around Valentine's Day, I believe! The makeup includes eye colors, 2 powder blushes, 3 lipsticks and a radiance stick! Delicate, pastel, Rose-inspired and infused with a mild rose fragrance! Bath and body collection includes Moroccan Rose body milk, shower gel, body butter, Eau de Toilette, Reed diffuser, body mist and bath & massage oil!

I am a firm believer of "flowers look pretty in the garden"! I find flowers associated with strong fragrance like rose and jasmine very nauseating! I cant stand the fragrance for more than half an hour! For South-Indians, flowers are ineveitable! However, I always make sure I dont go near roses and jasmines except weddings! Why did I tell you all this crap? I never knew I would like makeup associated with floral fragrance! Especially, ROSES!

On that note, I proudly present to you the Moroccan Rose lipsticks in #1 Soft Pink, #2 True Pink and #3 Deep Pink! I dont say "I am head over heels", but I like the Moroccan Rose range! Mildly infused with rose scent, just like rose water!

Let's tweet about the packaging for a while! If not for the transparent lid, this is how they look like! Metallic pink embosed with white roses! Uber flirty! The shades as discussed earlier, #1 Soft Pink, #2 True Pink, #3 Deep Pink! They are like great, greater, greatest! I dont know how to describe these shades exactly, but lets have a look!


The lipsticks have the softest formulation I ever came across! Just like melting butter! They glide easily on the lips without any efforts! I prefer #1 Soft Pink and #2 True Pink for any given time of the day and #3 for night times, though the chances of me using #3 are very rare!

Best - If you want a wash of pink with a long-lasting and conditioning lip color!

Suitable - All skin tones, which I doubt!

They are damn emollient, soothing and moisturizing when applied! Bees wax, well-known for its moisturizing properties, is a natural emulsifier and thickener and has been used in cosmetics for the past 2000 years! It is used in Body Shop products to help form a protective layer on the skin, which reduces moisture loss! The organic bees wax and marula oil helps repair the skin's moisture barrier!


I find myself reaching more for #2 True Pink, a go-to lipstick! The colors are pretty sheer! Staying power is above average! The shimmer felt chunky once, but it was not the same the next time! Strange!


#1 Soft Pink, #2 True Pink, #3 Deep Pink

Stats - 3.5 g - 0.1 oz originally retails for 8 pounds, though not sure of the exact price! I got these for a pound each, which is unbelievable! I have a backup of #2 True Pink!

Try # 1 Soft Pink with a "barely there" cheek and cool pastel-toned smudged eyes! #2 True Pink is ideal for all occasions either alone or over a lip stain for a thoroughly modern lip look! # 3 Deep Pink is a rich and fruity sheer wash of color that adds instant glamour for women who dare!
