Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder Compact

-

Packaging:
Dark maroon smooth play sized square plastic compact. There is a full sized mirror on the inside of a lid and snaps shut securely. The powder pan is round with a domed appearance, common in baked products.

Smell/Taste:
None.

Colour:
01 Golden Nude - champagne beige. Warm undertones with a satin finish.
Available in 5 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a smooth, fine, silky powder. It is bailable and applies easily with a brush. It's easily removed with a basic makeup wipe.

There was no oxidisation, drying and is fragrance free. The formula contains vitamin E to protect the skin against radical damage and Jojoba oil for moisturising benefits. The spherical powders help with easily blending.

This is a sheer coverage that adds a beautiful natural glow to the cheeks. It makes the skin look healthy and I love this look during the cooler months of the year. On the skin, this lasted a solid 8 hours. A little bit went a long way and this sample size lasted me a while.

Available:
From Adore Beauty, adore beauty.com.au for $45 for 7.5g/0.26oz. Sample size 1.80g/0.06oz. I got mine in America from Sephora in the Sephora Favourites Superstars set.

GlamGlow Supermud Clearing Treatment Mask

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

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...
