BUDGET BEAUTY #4: The Body Shop's Eyeshadows

I love, love, love the Body Shop's cosmetics so when I saw that their eyeshadows had been reduced to £2.50 in their recent sale I couldn't say no to picking a couple up. My flatmate also has a discount card that she picked up during our University's freshers' fair so I got an extra 20% meaning that these only cost me £2 each! That's a massive 75% off their normal price.

First up is shade 07 (Conker), the only way I can think to describe this is that its a sort of light brown/grey with a champagne-y shimmer to it. It's a gorgeous base colour that really makes my blue eyes pop and because it isn't too brown I think it would do the same for green eyes. I can't fault the shade, and the quality of the eye shadow is amazing. I've had it on all day (wearing it as I type this!) and it hasn't budged or creased at all. I have a problem with eye shadows creasing as I have hooded eyelids but this eyeshadow is just amazing and hasn't built up in my crease at all. Below are some swatches that were taken in day light:

The second eyeshadow I chose is shade 37 (Pink Champagne) which is a warm pink with a similar champagne-y shimmer to it as shade 07. It's gorgeous and really wearable, I don't usually wear pink shades but this one is lovely. It is the same high quality as the other eyeshadow and I haven't experienced any smudging or creasing which is just awesome for any of you out there with hooded eyelids. I particularly like how buildable these eyeshadows are as it means that the same shadow can be used in very different make-up looks. When applied wet this is quite a striking colour, but when used dry it can be as subtle or dramatic as you want it to be. Check out the below swatches to see what I mean:

These eyeshadows are still available online and in stores for the very low price of £2.50, I couldn't love them more to be honest and I'm thinking of picking up some more brown shades as they're the ones I tend to use the most often. Let me know if you've bought or if you go on to buy any, I'd be interested in hearing about what the other shades are like :)
