Clinique Chubby Stick Sculpting Highlighter

-

Packaging:
Thick chunky circular pastel pink mechanic retractable tube with a shiny silver end and cap. This matches the silver text on the tube. It has a wide soft domed bullet. I've not had any issues with the mechanics.

Smell/Taste:
Plastic, similar to kids makeup.

Colour:
#01 Hefty Highlighter - soft baby pink with silver micro glitter. Cool undertones with a shimmer finish. Available in 2 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a thick and gritty texture. It catches on the skin during application, so it has to be applied with care and multiple layers. It is easily removed with a basic makeup wipe.

It provides a subtle glow, but the width of the stick doesn't give a precise and desired highlight on the cheekbones. The subtleness doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be blended out unless too much product has been applied.

Honestly, I don't reach for this. The bullets too wide for my liking and it doesn't have a long wear time, it falls to the back of my draw. It would be perfect for beginners though.

Available:
From Mecca Cosmetica, mecca.com.au for $42 for 6g/0.21oz. I got mine in America from Sephora in the Sephora Favourites Superstars set.

Packaging: Heavy, palm sized round, smooth metal jar with a plastic screw on lid with a metal embellishment. The jar has a white and silver/ grey colour scheme. The lid features a silver star to match the silver text. There is a product stopper that lifts out which can be either thrown away or kept. It feels considerably heavy compared to a moisturiser jar but the packaging is thick when you see how much product it holds. This could have something to do with keeping the natural ingredients/ acids fresh. It comes in this octagon shaped white cardboard box matching the jar. The lid is a sleeve that lifts off, revealing the jar in a cradle from the cardboard, covered by a 'Hello Sexy' flap. I thought this was a unique way to present the jar and it was nice to have my sexiness reaffirmed! Smell/Taste: Faint liquorice that is quite powerful. Colour: Dark grey and dries white. Formula/ Texture: It's a thick and slightly smooth consistency. It...

Avene Thermal Spring Water Spray

-
Image
Packaging: Palm sized white smooth aerosol can. Comes with a sturdy opaque cap. The spray is wide and soft in concentration. This is very disable and portable packing making it perfect for any type of travel. Due to the opaque packaging, it is hard to visibly tell how much product is left. However this can be determined by feeling the weight of the can. I don't find the pump nozzle to be hard to pump. I do want to note that the can came in a tamper proof protective film which I thought was beneficial. Smell: None. Colour: None. Formula/ Texture: This spray is literally water. You can defiantly feel in the skin that this is more dense water particles that in terms of sprays, saturate the face with product. So this isn't a light mist but being water, this is comfortable on the skin. It's easily absorbed as expected from water. It has a soothing effect on my face more so than refreshing. I think it'll be perfect solution for those situa...
