Brunette Beauty

Packaging: Box has a silver foil writing & colour fades from purple to black, top to bottom. The tube is very similar to new packaged eye primer potion. There is the genie silver screw off top with a dark purple squeeze tube with silver text. The tip is fine and about 3mm wide. It feels as though is a decent amount of product in the tube that'll last a while. The tube can be cut open to get remaining product. Smell: None. Colour: Beige with pink undertones. This colour sheers out on the face and is undetectable. Formula/ Tetxure: This is a smooth thickish gel like consistency. It is non-greasy and easily absorbed. I've not had any sensitivity, irritations or breakouts from it. It's easy to apply with fingers and blend in. I feel that a normal amount of the primer just isn't quite enough to cover my face - unless it's the thickish like consistency that makes me think this? My skin did feel hydrated during and after it was worn. I ...

Packaging: Baby blue & gold foil box. Metallic baby blue plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap & a fine point end. Great for travelling and easy to get final bits out as well as controlling how much primer you want out. Due to the size of the tube I don't feel like I get much product. Smell: None. Colour: In a high density, it's nude. It sheers out to a colourless gel. It doesn't add any visible tint to the eyelids. There is 4 other variations of the eye primer available. Lemon Drop is more yellow based that neutralises tone on the eyelids. Candlelight is shimmery and adds this effect to shadows. Glitter Glue  enhances glitter based shadows and locks them down to the lid to reduce fall out and creasing. Champagne intensifies colour for 24hr with a waterproof formula and a hint of a shimmery base. Formula/Texture: Smooth, thin primer that has more of a gel like consistency. It's lightweight, easy to apply and absorbed th...

Packaging: Silver shiny, mirror like reflective cardboard box with embossed rose. The mascara tube is a shiny black stretched out lengthwise hourglass. The tube itself as a silver, glitter like floral rose pattern that is similar to the rose on the front of the box which I really like. It has gold detailing at the top of the handle, base of the handle & on either 180 degree side of the handle with 'Hypnose Doll Eyes' & a silver rose. The wand is a plastic brush with a cone shape to it. Smell: None. Colour: 01 Black. Opaque pigmentation. Available only in this colour. Texture/ Formula: I haven't found this mascara to be as wet in formula. It's one of those mascaras that get better the older it is/ the longer it's been opened and exposed to the air. The cone shaped brush helped provide a smooth and clean ...

Packaging: Reflective royal blue box. The compact is housed in dark, rich, navy velvet pouch with the initials 'CD' burnt into the front side of the pouch. The compact is a luxurious dark navy with a lighter 'CD' sitting under a bubble like plastic depending on what angle you hold the compact. The most prominent feature is right in the middle and is a large shiny silver ' Dior' . Opening the compact by a push button on the front bottom side to reveal a full width mirror in the top inside. Bottom side is the powder, protected by a plastic sheet. The powder itself is engraved in a cross-check pattern with Dior on the bottom right corner. I can't say how luxurious this compact is. Smell: Silicone. Colour: 002 Amber Diamond - icy shimmery champagne colour with cool undertones. Sheer pigmentation with a frost finish. It comes in another shade 001 Rose D...

Packaging: Hard plastic skinny hourglass bottle. The spray nozzle is red with a clear cap which surprisingly stays on during travel. The outside packaging has a black design with a light floral along the bottle. The spray is light and wide so you have to get close to the hair to get product onto it. The pump isn't hard to use nor does it get stuck when spraying multiple times. Smell: Floral, which reminds me of a nice spring perfume. Formula: This is simply a liquid. The bottle indicates that the heat protection lasts up to 220 degrees celsius but I'm not sure how to test thermal protection. It does make my hair feel nice and replenished and not dry and brittle. I've also notice that it leaves a nice gloss finish and smooth to the touch. Not much product is needed to coat the whole head, even on my long hair. It defiantly guards the hair against heat styling products. I don't feel like the Tresemme thermal protectant does quite the same ...

Packaging: Plastic soft case with zip lock closure. The plastic is easily seen through to show how many wands are left. Very travel friendly. Results: Each mascara wand is a wire bristle with a thin plastic covered handle.What differentiates each effect is the colour & wand shape to corresponding effect. Blue- Volume Lays on thick coat of mascara. It does a good job of separating the lashes & that's due to the thick brush. Purple- Definition Gets into corners of eye as well as bottom lashes. The wand is very short and small. Red- Curl Contours around the eye shape and helps the lashes curl. The wand has a 'C' shaped curve to it. Organe- Length Hourglass shape bristles separates each lash. This wand is very thin and long. Available: I do believe from memory these are quite expensive for what they are (disposable mascara wands) mixed 20pk from Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $10.

Packaging: Silver shiny, mirror like reflective cardboard box with embossed rose. The mascara tube is a shiny black curved 'I'. It has gold detailing at the top of the slanted handle, base of the handle & on either 180 degree side of the handle with a rose 'Virtouse' & 'Lancome'. The wand is a plastic/bristle brush C-shaped. Smell: None. Colour: 01 Black Carat. Opaque pigmentation. Available in only this colour. Texture/ Formula: This mascara is wet in formula. It's one of those mascaras that get better the older it is/ the longer it's been opened and exposed to the air. Once this started to dry out after a month I did experience some flaking. It did make my lashes feel stiff. It does take more effort to remove with a a basic makeup wipe. I am after a mascara that gives me volume for my n...
