Lip + Cheek Stain Review | The Body Shop

lnc

Here is my review of the Body Shops Lip and Cheek Stain! Necessary, because I haven’t had great experiences with lip and cheek stains in the past (I’ve ruined a few too many white shirts)… So when Emma Watson called out The Body Shop’s Red Pomegranate Lip & Cheek Stain*(affiliate link) as one of her favs in her interview with Into the Gloss, I knew I had to try it. During her press tour for Beauty and the Beast Emma Watson documented her favourite eco-friendly, cruelty free, and traceable beauty and fashion products through the instagram page @the_press_tour. Then, Emma Watson’s interview with Into the Gloss (Glossier’s blog) also highlighted all of her favourite beauty products.

I’ve been slowly going through the interview and trying out each product myself. Some are harder to find than this one – I had to hunt around on Amazon to get my hands on a tube of DHC’s Mascara. In the end I hope to have in depth reviews of these great products so that those of you looking to shop cruelty free and eco friendly in beauty know what you’re buying! Here goes The Body Shop’s Lip & Cheek Stain.

Emma Watson Loves This Product Because:

  • the Body Shop does a ton of work for the environment and fair trade
  • it’s long lasting and good for everyday use
  • it adds very natural looking colour to your face
  • you can kiss someone when your wearing it (or in my case, eat lots of greasy foods) and it’s not going to come off

Product Performance

On all fronts this product does exactly what Emma said it would. It lasts surprisingly well even after eating (or kissing I guess), and the colour looks natural on both your lips and your cheeks.

I was worried the red would be too dark, but it blends out perfectly and settles into a natural rosy blush. My skin tone is definitely a bit more orange toned than Emma’s but the colour still suits it wonderfully.

Edit: I’ve worn this every day for over three years now. I’ve gone through five bottles. At least. Though I never use it as a lip stain, there’s not a blush that can beat it! It adds such a healthy glow and makes me look way more alive than I feel. Plus, it lasts all day.

Swatches

On skin: When it’s first applied the colour is very pigmented but it’s easy to rub into the places you want a little extra colour, and once rubbed in, there are no hard lines and it’s very natural looking.

On lips: Much like the skin, when first applied the colour is super pigmented, but it settles in easily and ends up with a subtle hint of red that lasts forever and looks incredibly natural.

Cost + Purchasing?

It’s only $16CAD/£8 and you can buy it online from The Body Shop’s website, or in store.

The Verdict?

The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain: a must-have product for me! Sunkissed, undone beauty is my summer go-to. This product is perfect for that. I promise you, I use it every day, whether I’m wearing any other makeup or not. I love that it’s not too pricey, and that you know what you’re getting when you support The Body Shop. Seriously, I wear it every day. It’s one of two products I wear EVERY day without fail (the other being RMS beauty’s un-cover up).

      The color is really nice on you. I can’t help loving what I use though I love all there Long Lasting Lip Colors and the lip glosses and you can even use for a little blush. I too love creamy lip colors but love your blog very nice. Thank you for your comment on mine I so appreciate you liking the title Be You. I believe in just being you no pretenses.

      Yes!!! 9 times out of 10 I use my fingers to apply any makeup, this has a tip similar to a lip gloss that makes it easy to apply and rub in with your fingers🤗
