GHD

I've been back at uni this month and I've been straightening my hair more and thus using my GHD more. I got it in December of 2009 and can't believe why I didn't get one sooner.

GlamGlow Supermud Clearing Treatment Mask

Packaging: Heavy, palm sized round, smooth metal jar with a plastic screw on lid with a metal embellishment. The jar has a white and silver/ grey colour scheme. The lid features a silver star to match the silver text. There is a product stopper that lifts out which can be either thrown away or kept. It feels considerably heavy compared to a moisturiser jar but the packaging is thick when you see how much product it holds. This could have something to do with keeping the natural ingredients/ acids fresh. It comes in this octagon shaped white cardboard box matching the jar. The lid is a sleeve that lifts off, revealing the jar in a cradle from the cardboard, covered by a 'Hello Sexy' flap. I thought this was a unique way to present the jar and it was nice to have my sexiness reaffirmed! Smell/Taste: Faint liquorice that is quite powerful. Colour: Dark grey and dries white. Formula/ Texture: It's a thick and slightly smooth consistency. It...

NARS Sheer Matte Foundation

Packaging: This comes in the standard NARS packaging which is a little case of black corrugated cardboard and then in a NARS cardboard packaged black box.  The bottle is a square frosted glass shape with a black velvet matte screw off lid. The opening of the foundation is quite large so the amount of product that is dispensed varies depending on the force used to tip the bottle up. Therefore I do strongly recommend using caution. A pump nozzle would be so much better for this product and I know NARS sell this separately online but in terms of ease of use it would make the foundation packaging that much easier to work with. Smell: None Colour: Deauville (light 4) - light beige with neutral undertones. Light to medium coverage with a matte finish. Buildable. It looks very yellow when it's swatched but when blended into the skin it matches my skin tone perfectly!!...

Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation

-
Image
Packaging: This comes in a matte finish squeeze tube with a shiny black screw off lid. The dispenser is a tiny concentrated nozzle that helps control the amount of product coming out of the tube. The numbering/ shade name is done through numbers. This shade reference is at the bottom of the tube (see above right picture). This is a little confusing if you have multiple shades of this foundation and just want to grab one and go and not have to look carefully for the correct shade that matches you at that specific time. It also can get confusing to re-order the same shade, if you toss the black box it came in which has the shade # on the top. But I guess you have to be careful. Smell: None. Colour: #30 Porcelain - light peach shade with more yellow undertones. Medium to full coverage with a matte finish. I got shade #40 by accident as I though that would match me but it was too dark. It hasn't gone to waste as I am ...
