Hi All,
Earlier in April, I’d been out with Shivangi to Phoenix Mall and during our trip to TBS, for the first time ever, I was tempted by the cosmetics instead of their skin care. I totally wanted to try their lipsticks and I picked this one along with the Pink ginger lipstick from a different range.
8 Top Sizzling Hot Pink Lipstick Shades Review & Swatches
I picked this without looking at anything except the shade. Seeing yet another sheer shade filled me with such temptation that I didn’t look at anything else. It was only after reaching home and showing it to my Hubs that he pointed out, ‘ You paid 620 bucks for just 2gms of lipstick??’ This kinda punctured all the air out of me but ahh well, the damage was done and I figured I might as well enjoy it.. ๐
About The Body Shop Delipscious Lip Color in Sheer Raspberry:-
Sheer moisturising Lip Colour with a fruity flavour. Made with food-grade ingredients, including natural blueberry and pomegranate seed oils.
- Ingredients:รย Delipscious Sheer Lip Colour contains Community Trade cocoa butter. The Community Trade cocoa butter we use in our Delipscious lip range comes from cocoa pods that are hand-harvested by local farmers in northern Ghana. First, the beans are individually checked for quality and purity. Then they are scooped out and left to ferment for a week. Once dried, the finest beans are selected to be ground and pressed into rich, moisturising butter
- Color: Have you had that childhood moment when you were eating pomegranates and smashed the seeds into your mouth only to find out later that you lips carried the red tint on them for a looooong time? This shade reminds me of that exactly. It’s a sheer pomegranate kinda shade and is super glossy.
- Price: INR 620 for 2gmรย (Tauba รขโฌโ Tauba!)
- Coverage & Pigmentation: This is a sheer lippy to begin with and doesn’t really provide any coverage whatsoever! Its just a light wash of color for my lips.
- Texture: This has one of the best textures ever. Its so soft and glides easily on my lips. And even though its so soft, it doesn’t melt like NYX round lippies do. This is a non-sticky formula that reminds me more of a lip balm than a lipstick ๐
- Fragrance: This has a fruity smell…which is a bit strong. Shivi mentioned she hated it but I honestly didn’t mind it…It’s not the best scent in the world but it doesn’t last long so no probs.
- Staying Power: Like I mentioned above, this reminds me of a lip balm and it even has the staying power of a lip balm. I stays for about an hour and then there’s no sign of it. My lips do retain their moisture and glossiness but the light tint of color is also gone which is quite ridiculous.
I love the formula…but for a lipbalm and not a lipstick. It makes absolutely no sense to me. And 620 bucks for 2gms of product!?!?!? I mean…REALLY?? If I’d had the sense to see the quantity, I would not have bought this. If it were for like 300 or so, I’d love to buy it but this is the max I’d be willing to pay for this. Hardly a staying power to speak about and jut 2gms…This melts so fast that I’m almost halfway through…And I haven’t even used it 10times!!! M sooo ‘Katti’ with TBS for this…
What I like about The Body Shop Delipscious Lip Color in Sheer Raspberry:-
- I love sheer shades..need I say more?
- Non sticky
- Moisturizing
- A nice juicy wash of color on my lips
- No shimmers
- I don’t mind the fruity fragrance
- Soft and glides easily on my lips

What I don’t like about The Body Shop Delipscious Lip Color in Sheer Raspberry:-
- 1Hrs staying power….disgusting

this is awesome………! i loved the shade…it will suit me naaa??
suit to karega,,,but id advice u t find a similar shade in another brand..this is just not worth it…the stayingpower, the pricing…everything is crazy..
Zeeeee….i was determined to pick this up n almost bought this last week. But it so darn sheer that my lip balms have more tint!! N i really don’t think it’s worth the price :confused:
haha! u hav pigmented lips kya? then this may not show up at all…but i hate the pricing…620 for just 2gms of ptoduct! wot r they thinking???
No yaar…dono if it was the store lighting, it looked like i was wearing clear gloss
i went lookin for a SHEER lippie and wudve bought it out of SHEER temptation but then realized it’s a SHEER waste of money for something that was just tooo SHEER ๐ ๐
haha!!! well said…u shud try d loreal nutri shines if ur lookin for gud sheer lippies ๐
haha! maybe this particulr shade was too light…
ya i wud prefer chambor better even though they are about 525 bucks for 1.9gms but the formula is so light , amazing with a staying power of about 5 to 6 hrs on my lips.
Even all my colleagues love it when we swap lippies after our lunch breaks to re apply. he he
hehe..sahana its nice when it seems worth it…but with a 1hr srtaying power it seems too ridiculous!
wow ! lipstick swapping :rotfl: u guys have lot of fun in yur office i believe.
sahana, ure sooo right. Am loving my chambor lippie!! Totally worth it! :yes:
this would not shw up on my lips at all but it luks lovely on you Zara…price is such a bummer though
mine too dear…but u know i got so inspired by her posts that i purchased sheer lippi for myself…review coming soon ๐
hehe….yey! i am infectuous!!! now m so happy!
and dont worry..if u dont like the sheer one, u cn bindaas send it all t me ๐
THIS IS WHAT I THOUGHT..If it doesn’t suit me then i will send it to Zee.
yeyyyy!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: that makes me sooooo happy!!
price AND quantity is a bummer….i luv the formula…so amazing..but i just think tbs needs to revise their pricing policy ya….
Just one hour’s staying is a total waste Zee….. Though a lovely shade and looks pretty on you.
Eesha..i have seen that body shop lipsticks have the worst staying power..even Maybelline lipsticks stays better than them.
yeah… maybelline color sensational one’s stays really long.
oh yes..maybelline waale r really gud..non sticky and very very pretty
i was shocked at this…i knew they were bad..but soo bad??? just 1 hr staying power….unheard of!
wonder why they keep such a high pricing then na A!! they probably think that their brand name is worth it ๐
Sahana but they r not MAC ๐
i wish they were!
i luv this shade so much..but everythin else about it is crappy…the price is shocking! and for just 2gms!!! do u kno f a dupe fr this?
so love the color but not impressed with the pigmentation much ?:-)
wohi too! she can carry all the sheer things..there will my lipstick posts which will have all the heavy pigmentatio lippies and there will be hers with sheer ones..:)
kuch to alag hona chahiye na?? ๐ i lvoe sheer shades!! i want all the sheer lippies in d world!
pigmentation is hardly there…all the lippies in this range r sheer na? thats y….i luv how light this is…but yaar so costly..
This reminds me of my Nivea lip balm in pink guava.. hehehee i will rather apply that…
but i knw how u must have felt over seeing this ..Zee! impulsive buying symptoms ..just like me! ๐ :rotfl:
But it looks lovely on ur sexyy lips!! :-* :hug-makeup: :hug-makeup:
even guava wala is more pigmented and more pinky ricki…. his is very faint…ekdum sheer hai..
m so damn impulsive sometimes….i go thinking i wont buy anythin…but then when i see somethin like this, all my intentions fly out d window and i buy things without a coherent thot!
wow..pretty shade…
i luv the shade so much…m hunting for a dupe!
Hey all my Beauties….This Must be shocking for us but stil i cnt sit quitely without sharing this with u all
