There are a few things that I cannot live without. First, my morning coffee, and second, a good lip gloss or lipstick. Why? Well, if I don’t have my morning coffee, my crankiness quotient increases by at least 20 percent, and if I don’t have my lip gloss, well, I tend to look paler than usual. Not good. Did I mention that I don’t look good in dark lip colors?

So, when I came across The Body Shop’s High Shine Lip Treatment, I was excited to try the product because I like just a little hint of color with shimmer in my lip products. Here’s what they say about the product on their website:

- Pearl pigments give lips a glimmering finish.
- Provide effective hydration with an ultra-glossy, dermatologist-approved formulation that is long-lasting and non-sticky.
- Moisturizing Community Trade marula oil from Namibia helps to repair skin’s moisture barrier, leaving lips soft and supple.”

As someone who is usually on the go between meetings and appointments, when it is essential that I look professional and well-groomed, I need a lip gloss that will immediately add color and softness to my lips. Most recently, I had a video shoot and realized that I had left my makeup bag inside my apartment and was unable to stop at a drugstore to get another lipstick. All I had was this Hi-Shine lip treatment and, it turns out, that the product added just enough color to be noticeable as well as adding shine/shimmer which always looks good on-camera.

Granted if you’re going for a vixen look, this is not the product for you, but if you need a subtle colored lip gloss that adds shine and that you can wear all day, I’d check out Body Shop’s Hi-Shine Lip Treatment.
