The Body Shop Summer 2011 Collection - Brush With Fashion

I think that this is first!  This is the first time that I have ever hit The Body Shop's website and found a current color collection listed under the Makeup tab.  Normally, I see hints of color collections but I have never actually hit it on the right day to see a whole collection listed together.  Everyone who reads this knows that I really love the body products from this company but I haven't used the makeup products from this company since the beginning of high school so I don't expect that their current collection will be anything like what I used to use.  I don't even remember details about this product line from back then so I will be approaching this company's color collection with a totally open mind.

This new collection is named Brush With Fashion and was a collaboration with the London College of Fashion.  These two groups worked together to create a very fashionable line of cruelty-free makeup.  I am always on the look out for vegan and/or animal cruelty-free beauty products that aren't earth crunchy or are too odd to use.  So hopefully, this company will be another line of makeup that I can use because right now Urban Decay is corning the market in this area.  This collection covers eyes, lips, and cheeks and contains a line of makeup bags and brushes that match all the color products in it. 

Here is this new collection...

My favorite pieces of this collection are the two eye shadow palettes, they don't contain very unique shades but I still want to try them out.  I can see myself getting use from both of these palettes many times over the next seasons.  Overall, I am curious about The Body Shop's cruelty-free makeup and if it holds up to the same standards of their body products.
