Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturiser For Combination/ Oily Skin

-
I wanted a moisturiser that had an SPF in it for summer so I knew I had that UV protection when I was spending more time out in the sun. Since I've had no troubles with Neutrogena & this is one of their new products, It was worth a try.

  
Packaging:
The tube is in an oval shape with a screw off lid to reveal a control pour spout.

Smell:
Tad aloholic and floral.

Colour:
White, although it looks like a sunscreen and moisturiser mixed together. Goes on sheer.


Texture/ Formula:
The is a lot more runny in consistency than a normal moisturiser. It feels lightweight on the skin and non-greasy. It contains Helioplex which makes the liquid flexible and able to move with the face and not feel like a mask. It is easy to apply with fingers.

It has an SPF 30+ which includes a broad spectrum of UVB & UVA, meaning it's blocking out most if not all of the harmful sun's rays. The formula of the moisturiser also contains vitamin A, C & E.

It does feel as though I am getting some SPF protection, perhaps I'm just used to the heavy mask feel of a body sunscreen lotion. I do feel however that this may have broken me out even though I intentionally got the formula for combination skin. I stopped using it and my breakout seemed to slow down but I just sending out a warning to use this sparingly. It isn't my favourite.

Available:
From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $18 for 40ml.

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...
