L'Oreal Touche Magique Concealer

-
I wasn't aware of this product until I had watched a couple of videos on YouTube about it. When it was mentioned that the Touche Magique was very comparable in terms of product benefits to the YSL's Touche Eclat, I thought that it would defiantly be something worth a try.

YSL's concealer retails for $55 here in Australia, which is pretty expensive for the amount of product you get but when I have a spare $55 lying around I might just take the plunge and get it *cough*. When I actually went to get L'Oreal's Touche Magique I had some trouble trying to find it to be honest, which can explain why I hadn't noticed it before.



Packaging:
It comes in a sleek pen like form with twist bit at the bottom that allows the product to come out at the top. The applicator is a soft brush which allows precise and controlled application.
Smell:
None.

Colour:
C3-5 Rose Beige. Medium coverage with a natural finish. I got a shade darker than I thought I was because the colour at the end of the pen had a pink-ish tint to it and I thought that would suit my pink undertoned skin. I wanted it to conceal rather than brighten under my eyes. Available in 4 shades.


Texture/ Formula:
It's a smooth and fine liquid.  It's easy to apply using the built in brush applicator, blend in using your fingers or brush. It is defiantly lightweight under the eyes with no problems removing it. It doesn't crease or smudge throughout the day. It hasn't caused any irritation to my eye.

A little bit goes a long way which helps make the product last longer and get value for money. 
I wanted it to conceal rather than brighten under my eyes. It did this but the natural finish added a smoothing effect. The skin under my eyes look so fresh, awake, rejuvenated, youthful pretty much as  flawless and with no wrinkle-ish line in sight.

 For around the nose the illuminating effect from the natural finish is defiantly more prominent. What I've been doing is with whatever product is left on the applicator I put around the corners of my mouth to brighten up that area. Perhaps it is a touch of magic!

I really like the concealing effect this gives with the added slight luminous effect. If you want a concealer that will brighten more then conceal, then this isn't for you.

Available:
From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $28.

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.

Benefit Benetint

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...

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...
