Invisible Zinc Face + Body Sunscreen

-

Packaging:
The tube comes in the box pictured above. The tube is all white with a visible and contrasting yellow band across it. It's a squeeze tube that has a soft matte finish.

Smell:
Strong sunscreen.

Colour:
The zinc is a pigmented white cream.

Texture/Formula:
It's thick in texture and only takes a little amount to spread on an arm. It has an SPF 30+ with a high UVA/UVB protection. 

The only active ingredient is Zinc Oxide making it very strong protection against the sun. It is a natural and safe mineral and is regarded as one of the best agents that offers UVA/UVB protection. Yes other brands of more affordable sunscreen do contain this ingredient but in a smaller quantity, mixing it with other chemicals making it more cheaper.

Not only that Invisible Zinc is preservative free, contains no parabens (chemicals found in most beauty products that act as a 'filler' in ingredients) or chemical UV actives or titanium dioxide. None of Invisible Zinc's products are tested on animals and the product is micronised not nano.

It's safe for those with sensitive skin. It's not sticky nor does it transfer onto clothes. This particular product can be used on the face as a makeup primer or on its own and also on the body for daily sun protection. It's best to apply this 20mins prior to being out in the sun and using a little bit a time as a normal amount of sunscreen can make the skin look ghostly white.

Available:
From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $19 for 75g.

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...

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...
