I was highly impressed by some of my past makeup purchases from Body Shop. They were definite winners. I bought this product at a discount off one of the Indian shopping sites. I was quite keen to try it out. This one however fell short of my expectations :(.

     The color is pretty but the texture is really weird. Dont get me wrong it is not dry or anything but you really need to go over and over with the product a couple of times to get a filled in line. It looked streaky most of the time and was a pain to build up. Oh and it didn’t come on for me on my waterline. Definitely a hassle for an eye product. The color is a metallic looking green with a green and gold sheen to it. The shade looks different under various angles of light. Sometimes it looks a light green and at times it looks like blackish green. Beautiful shade. I dont remember how much I paid for it but its price is listed as Rs. 415/- at the company website.

     I must point out that as they have been a lot of cases where people have ended up buying expired products online and I feel that it could be a case with this one. I checked the batch code on http://cosmeticswizard.net/ and found that my product was manufactured in 2009 :(. You know this is the last time I’m buying these products from an Indian online site at a discounted rate. I’m going to either buy it from the store or from International sites. Ah yes that reminds me – dont purchase the International brand cosmetics from Fashion and you or 99 Labels. They are selling expired products. I bought a lot of stuff from 99 Labels recently and spent a bundle. When I checked the dates almost all were expired.

     So if you like the color do try to swatch it for yourself in the shop and then see how you like it. I don’t want to write it off especially since I liked my other makeup purchases from this brand so much and am feeling very disappointed that I got cheated out of what could be a great product.
