The Body Shop have introduced 3 new shimmer cubes to their already existing shimmer cube collection. I have tried out a few of their shimmer cubes previously and despised the overtly shimmery, almost frosty consistency without a lot of colour payoff.
The new one that I have however in number 22 is reformulated in my opinion and exceeds my expectations when it comes to quality and pigmentation. The combination of colours here are in synergy and work so well at complimenting each other when paired up together.
I was really glad to see that there was more pigmentation and less glitter and frost when it came to this particular shimmer cube. I can very much compare their quality to Urban Decay eye shadows which is always a compliment I believe.
Also, I am not a fan of green/grey colours as they do not come in my comfort zone and tend to emphasize any dark under eye circles I may have. However, the greens and grey in here are really flattering and subtle and not loud in any way whatsoever.
I created a look using all the shades from the palette to give you an idea as to how beautiful the shades look in action. I used the deepest colour all over the lids and used the lighter ones in the crease for a change.
I decided to keep the brows slightly unruly as it complemented the shades much better than tamed eye brows.
I believe this palette, along with two other additions is available to purchase from Body Shop for £16. I highly recommend it and love the fact that Body Shop is slowly but surely refurbishing its range from boring to uber chic and is one to look out for in the future.
You always do the most gorgeous eye looks and this is no exception. I've always wanted to try one of their shimmer cubes!

You def know how to do eye makeup! I love all of your looks and your eyes are amazing! This post makes me want to look into the body shop's makeup line. Thanks:)
This is gorgeous. Yup I love your eye looks too. GAWJUS. lol
I really like the inner corner shade. This really suits you
This looks amazing on you! When I nipped in Body Shop to swatch these, I could barely get any colour on my fingers so I dismissed them! Maybe I should give this another go. x
I've reviewed these in the past and totally agree with you about the lack of pigmentation. But these do look a lot better. Beautiful on your eyes too!
I have TBS shimmer cube in browns, and I love it. Have you tried using them wet- really brightens them. the MUA showed me and I was sold x
looking stunning lovely shade and great eye makeup :))
It looks amazing on you!!
wow super pigmented.
oh gosh what a beautiful teal color. I've never loved any e/s color other than brown. but now I feel like I LOVE this one, thanks for sharing. love love LOVE your eyemake up XD
♥ your look girl!!
I think I tried a green shimmer cube from them in the past (or maybe it was just some sort of baked quad) and the sales girl was trying to pitch it to my friends and I as a birthday present for a friend saying it was soooo pigmented, and then when she left I whispered to my friends "don't get it, it's all glitter and no colour" :P
This looks much better, I especially like the look of the darkest greeny grey teal-y shade :)
This looks great :) Very beautiful colors! don't think they would look great on me though.. They do look good on you :)
Every single color looks amazing on your eye... I got bad undereye dark circles so i can't use dark eyeshadow on the lower eyelid, what can you recomend to solve this?
kisses,
