Brunette Beauty

Packaging: Flat green tinted plastic bottle. It comes with an organ pump that has a little resistance and clear plastic cap. The shape of the bottle makes is very easy to hold. The spray nozzle is wide and soft which I find hard to dispense product evenly over a layer area. The tinted bottle makes it easy to see how much is left. Smell/Taste: Citrus/ fruity. Colour: None. Formula/ Texture: This is a straight liquid. It is easy to apply using the pump nozzle. It is lightweight on the hair and doesn't weigh it down or make it extra greasy. It doesn't leave any type of film on the hair. A unique feature is that the formula contains argan oil that just makes my hair feel stronger and smoother at the ends. It makes the strands feel and look healthier. I notice a slight shine to the hair too, especially when it's straight. This claims to have a 48hr straightening hold. I went 3 days with straight hair even sleeping with a hair tie and there wa...

Packaging: Slim shiny black plastic pencil with a clear cap. Smell: None. Colour: 01 Transparent. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin, smooth wax. It's easy to apply and line the lips with no tugging or pulling. It is easily removed with a basic makeup wipe. To prime your lips and fill in lines, outline your lips by following the contour of your mouth. Start from the outer edges of your lips and work your way towards center of your lip on each side. Then fill-in between the outline.  Easy to sharpen and  to a soft point.  Non drying formula which adversely didn't feel hydrating and did a really good job of stopping lipstick from feathering. For such an affordable product, I was really impressed with the way it worked. Available: From CVS in America only for US$5 for 1.2g/0.04oz. Milani is available from Cherry Culture, cherryculutre.com.au.

Packaging: Brown smooth matte metal twist up tube with a screw on lid (that takes up 95% of the tube). The balm bullet is wide. Smell: Lemon. Colour: Sugar - untainted. Natural finish. Available in 11 shades/tints. Formula/ Texture: This is a smooth, thick wax. It's easy to apply to the lips and it's a little stiff/thick to move the product around the lips. The wide bullet makes it easier to apply then a typical stick balm. It hasn't caused any irritation or burning to my lips. The formula actually contains tart black currant oil that hydrates the lips. I find this hydration property to last a couple of hours before I felt my lips starting to feel dry. I don't notice any plumping effect and I don't consider my lips to be anywhere near full. It also contains SPF15 and vitamins A, C & E to protect from the environment which I notice this did. This lip treatment does a decent job ...

Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wave ridge tube. Features a slanted bullet housed in a signature purple sleeve that compliments the outside. The soft closing lid that takes up the majority of the tube, has an engraved 'UD' symbol which compliments the engraved 'Urban Decay' wording on the side. The twist mechanism twist up without effort and the tube has a nice weight to it which is more bottom heavy. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: Anarchy - bright pink with blue undertones. Bang - tomato red with blue undertones. Catfight - deep rose pink with warm undertones Naked - pink nude with warm undertones Native - pale pink Streak - coral with warm undertones Turn On - deep mauve pink with warm undertones Opaque pigmentation with a sheen finish. Buildable coverage. Available in 20 shades. Formula/ Texture: This is a buttery smooth consistency. It's very easy to apply straight from the bullet. There is no skipping/ dragging and really glides...

Packaging: Slim metal matte gold tube. The bottom half has embossed 'Too Faced' to match the 'TF' on the top of the lid. The lid shuts very snug but the tube feels almost chunky when you wind up the round slanted bullet. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: Marshmallow Bunny - muted bright pink with blue undertones. Opaque pigmentation with a sheen finish. Buildable colour. Formula/ Texture: This is a creamy, thick and smooth product. It is very easy to apply from the tube, gliding effortlessly onto the lips. I didn't find the colour to fall into my lip lines or bleed. If touched it will smudge but the longevity on these is 4hrs. Not too long but as expected from a more creamy shiny formula. What I found is these are so hydrating!! The creamy texture helps the colour smooth onto the lips and feels so comfortable and lightweight. There is lotus flower extract in the formula that also soothes and conditions the lips using...

Packaging: Thin silver wooden pencil with a clear cap. the end of the pencil is white to reflect the clear colour/ shade of the liner. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: 10 Clear. Natural finish. Formula/ Texture: This is a drier, thicker wax. It feels lightweight on/around the lips and is easily removed with a basic makeup wipe. I haven't any irritations or extra dryness with this lip liner. When I apply this it does need to be worked more onto the lips as it's a thicker product. I work is small short strokes around the lips instead of gliding it around. This does flatten the sharp tip of the pencil  a lot faster.  I've also noticed it leaves a faint white mark behind. Nothing that isn't able to be hidden by a bold colour or noticed unless looking right up at the lips. I haven't sharpened this yet so I don't know how easy that is and if it does sharpen to a point. I'll update this when I do. I think that t...

Packaging: Oval clear hard plastic bottle. There is a wide blue pump that matches the refreshed branding packaging on the bottle. The pump isn't retractable making it not travel friendly at all. It is easy to see how much product is left but due to the thicker plastic might take a little more effort to remove the remaining product. Smell: Masculine, like a mans' cologne. Colour: Sheer dark grey. Formula/ Texture: This is a thick and smooth gel. It's lightweight and easy to pump out and apply. A little bit defiantly goes a long way with this cleanser as I learnt the hard way. I've had no irritation, burning or itchiness with this cleanser. I love the oil free and dermatologist tested formula. The additional of charcoal really helps to attract and draw out dirt and any trapped impurities which is perfect for acne prone skin. This combination helps to reduce pimples and blackheads and acne marks. The bottle indicates that compared to a b...
