The Body Shop (TBS) Lip and Cheek Stain

I am a big fan of The Body Shop. My first personally owned cosmetics when I was 7 y.o. were TBS Clear Lipgloss, Born Lippy Lip Balm in strawberry flavor and Johnson's Baby Powder. I also have TBS Oceanus Body Mist in my kikay kit which were all sponsored by my mom, hihi!

Now that i'm 23, of course I am already in-charge of my cosmetic choices. Still, I can never leave the brand that I've grown-up with. During college, I use the TBS All-in-One Face Base and TBS Shimmer Cubes. Though there are a lot of options around every corner of every mall within the Metro, I still cannot leave a season without TBS in my routine. And since I've been busier these days, I am madly in-love with all these double duty products. Okay, I mentioned that a lot of time already like a pirated cd.

What I love about TBS Philippines is that it held a lot of sale promos almost every end of the month. Not to mention that I also have my "Love your body" card which entitles me to earn points for every purchase! And as if the previously mentioned qualifications were not enough, let me remind you that their products are ethically produced by purchasing their ingredients from independent farmers in rural areas and the company strictly implements its campaign against animal cruelty which assures it's customers that the products they are about to purchase does not involve abuse or murder to those cute little rabbits and guinea pigs.

I know everyone is already familiar with TBS Lip and Cheek Stain, but who cares? I wanted to add this post on it's stats! Haha!

The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain

The product comes in a doe-foot applicator for easy use.

What I hate about face tints is that it usually dries so fast or easily stains the skin which usually leaves an unpleasant heavy colored marks when not blended immediately. Since the TBS Lip and Cheek Stain is in gel like consistency, it makes it easy for me to spread it evenly on my cheeks without worrying that the color will settle immediately and leave a line mark upon application.

Swatches:

See it's gel-like consistency when applied.

Lips with TBS Lip and Cheek Stain

Claims: This dual purpose liquid stain gives lips and cheeks a hint of natural looking colour. Can be used under gloss for added intensity. Dermatologically tested.

Use: Simply apply the product using the doe-foot like applicator to your lips and cheeks. Make sure to blend the product gently into your cheeks to avoid ruining your fonda.

Price: Php795.00 for a regular priced 8ml tube. I got mine for only Php395.00 during their December sale last year. :)))

Hits:

• Oil-free.
• Super natural looking. Okay, i'm exaggerating. What i'm trying to say is that when applied, it leaves you that healthy, natural looking, after-glow like blush on your face. Very,very nice!
• Easy to apply and does not leave you that "you might have missed to spread your tint immediately" trace in your cheeks.
• It perfectly compliments pale, peach-like and bronzed skin complexions.
• The tube container and doe-foot like applicator makes the product sanitary to use and lessens the spread of germs. 

Miss:

• The product tends to leak when pressing the applicator back to the tube. 
• You have to wash your hands everytime you re-apply the product.
