Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick

-

Packaging:
The lipstick comes in this amazing silver reflective box, which depending on what angle you hold it at you get red reflection on the box. When you open up the box the inside is red which is a nice contrast to the outside silver but it also shows that the company has put thought into the boring aspect of opening up the box.

The High Shine lipstick itself is in a transparent rectangle casing. The casing is also reflective, complementing the box of red, blue/purple reflects. The outside of the casing has the word 'Dior' sticking out on two of the four sides of the casing. The casing slips off the entire lipstick with a silver, shiny ball at the other end with 'CD' engraved in it representing 'Christian Dior'. The silver tube is a twist up lipstick.

Smell:
None.

Colour:
352 Champagne Blush - Peachy pink with tiny gold flecks leaning more towards the pink side. Sheer pigmentation with a shine finish. Buildable colour. Available in 44 shades.



Texture/Formula:
Its lightweight, smooth, thin and easy to apply. It contains an extraordinary reflecting gel that results in a magnifying glass effect to intensify shine. I don't find any plumping from this but the hydration is amazing.

 I'm not kidding but this is extremely smooth and comfortable on the lips. It glides on with absolute ease. The longevity of this is like a typical lipstick with 4 hours of intense wear and shine. The shine is another thing I notice immediately. It's not the wet goopy type shine, but more of a gloss finish that you've layered over the top, without the stickiness.

 I absolutely love this colour and formula, a little luxury I don't want to be without. Defiantly worth a try!

Available:
From Myer and David Jones counters for $48 for 3.5g/0.12 oz.

Innoxa Organic Brightening Eye Creme

Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
