Primer: Lily Cole for The Body Shop


The second post in my mini primer series is the new Lily Cole 'Pearl Radiance' primer from The Body Shop. About a month ago I attended a blogger event in The Body Shop in Grafton Street. I was lucky enough to get a goodie bag and this Lily Cole Primer was one of the items inside.


The primer comes in a 15ml bottle with a transparent packaging. (This is handy as you can see exactly how much you have left!). It also comes with a pump and a hot pink lid bearing Lily's signature. The product itself is made up of small pearls. The first time I used this primer I thought it was strange as it comes out quite lumpy. However, once you rub in all the pearls it leaves a lovely glow.


The primer is not overly shimmery but gives the skin a lovely subtle glow. I personally prefer to use it over my foundation as I prefer a thicker primer. At €20 it is a bit expensive but it is still cheaper than Benefit's That Gal which is quite similar when they are applied to the face. 

Have you tried this primer?

    1. It's quite similar to That Gal by Benefit which is free in glamour this month. I do like the pump on it though :)

  2. I've never tried it, but it sounds fab! I like clear packaging too so I can see exactly how much is left. I find it very cool that it's pearl, but comes out liquidy, and even though it's a bit lumpy, it still blends into a flawless finish. Definitely going to be keeping my eye out on this when I go to the Body Shop!

  3. I saw her new range in Body Shop a week or so ago, I'd like to try out the products but they are a little pricey so it's stopped me at the moment! Maybe after payday. Great review x
