New from The Body Shop's Smoky Poppy Spring 2015 Collection, the Pink Poppy Shimmer Cubes Palette ($22 CAD) features four gorgeous fresh spring eye shadows in a cute cube palette. This is my first time trying the beloved The Body Shop Shimmer Cubes. So how do these interesting cube-y shadows swatch? Read on to find out.......
Packaging:
Each individual Pink Poppy Shimmer Cubes come tiny plastic cubes. The shadows are 3.5g each and are compressed into adorable mini cubes. The individual plastic cube containers are then housed in a larger plastic container.
Formulation:
Smooth, soft and buttery, these shadows are a pleasure to work with! There is a sparkly silver, a shimmery peach, a shimmery pink, and a shimmery green. The formulation of these are very much comparable to higher end eyeshadow brands. With the exception of the shade "Fresh Green", all the shadows are nicely pigmented.
Overall:
I finally got a chance to see why the Shimmer Cubes get so much love! The formulation of these shadows is impressive as each shade is soft, pigmented and easy-to-blend. The color selection for this Pink Poppy set is super pretty too, perfect for spring and summer!
The Body Shop is available online and in stores.
