I’m going to be honest here: despite it being my job to test new make-up products, for the most part, I find make-up a chore. In theory, I love the stuff—it’s creative, it’s fun and it makes me feel a little bit better about myself. In reality though, I rarely wear a full face every day. Why? Because I struggle to find products that fit into my life. Until, that was, the new make-up collection from The Body Shop came my way.
Before The Body Shop’s new products entered my life, my make-up was getting me down. Products seemed to constantly be telling me they could ‘fix’ my face when I didn’t even know it was broken. On top of all of this, I hated how much my make-up reflected the unsustainable nature of my daily routine. Every compact that had dried out, every concealer I tossed to the side and every lipstick I threw away was once in my make-up bag. Those same products screamed at me every morning to apply more—drowning out the cries from the planet asking me to please give it a thought before I take up more landfill space in my quest for beauty perfection.
