The Body Shop's summer shadow collection is amazing. There, we said it. It may be hard for some to fathom that the brand that dishes up fruity-smelling bath gels and body lotions actually makes a sexy eye palette, but it's true. We became believers after trying the Hot Brights eye color in Violet Sunset, which hits stores next week. It's a rich shade of purple that is a stunner on anyone with an island tan. Using a wet brush, apply it along the lash line up to the crease (smudge it), use a bit of highlighter in the corners and near the brow bone, and eyes become seductively smoky—but with a summery twist. Our dinner date didn't comment on our hot-mama look, but at least we got five compliments in the office.
$17 at the Body Shop, 420 Lexington Ave., nr. 43rd St.; 212-682-3502.
