Brunette Beauty

I saw this and thought it was a neat idea and wondered how well it worked on heavy eye makeup. Packaging: Clear hard plastic bottle tinted a blue colour with a goldish brown screw off lid. The spout is large with no stopper but placing a cotton ball over this does deliver adequate amount of product. Smell: Faint aloe vera. Colour: Clear liquid. The blue colour is the tinted colour in the plastic container. Texture/ Formula: 100% Oil-free which on my eyes is no concern but is good to have in a makeup remover none the less. It also has aloe and cucumber extracts that soothe the skin. Non-greasy but leaves a slight residue that is easily removed with a cleanser. No burning or irritation to my eyes. Theres absolutely no pulling or tugging on the eye. Yes it does remove heavy and dark makeup with ease. I soak a cotton ball and press it on my eye and leave it there for 15 secs to breakdown the makeup then pull it across my eye. It does ...

Packaging: Light purple tube with pump. The pump dispenses a decent amount of lotion but be careful when pumping fast as the lotion squirts further than with a normal pump. Smell: Lavender & moonflower which have relaxing and soothing properties. Colour: White. Texture/ Formula: The lotion is exactly that a thicker consitency than a gel with a velvety finish. It is easily absorbed into the skin. It made my skin feel really smooth and hydrated. As for the relaxing, night claiming side of the lotion, I did feel relaxed but I'm not entirely sure it was because I was using this lotion, prehaps it's just my normal night routine and having nice smooth skin was just relaxing? The whole idea of putting lotion on at night before bed is so it aids the body in regenerating and renewing the body. Love the smell and the hydration to my skin. Available: From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $7 for 400ml.

I have a small collection of M.A.C Lipglasses and I wanted to share my thoughts on them. Packaging: Lipglasses come in a round tube that has a clear bottom to see the colour and amount left and a shiny black top where the built in doe foot applicator is. However in my experience the sponge doe foot applicator doesn't always guarante an even application to the lips. They have they M.A.C black writing in the bottom half of the tube. Smell: Vanilla. Colour: They are 29 permament colours with additional colours that may be released throughout the year in limited edition collections that are a few dollars more. Mostly they are opaque in their pigmentation but some may be more on the sheer side. The colours that I currently have are shown in the picture below. From left to right; Dreamy, Prrr, Pink Poodle & Lychee Luxe. Texture/ Formula: I find the lipglasses to be sticky. They do stay on the lips for a long while but I think ...

Packaging: Shiny hard red round container with a screw off lid. Smell: Different smell and I think it must be the papaw ingredient itself. Colour: Yellow tinge in the jar but applies clear. Texture/ Formula: Thick and a little tacky between fingers. Carica papaw is the main and only ingredient which has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. You do have to use your fingers to apply this papaw which do get sticky and requires them to be wiped off before touching something else as it'll leave a sticky mark behind. I love how multi-purpose this ointment is; boils, burns, cuts, chaffing, cracked/dry skin, splinters, tame hair flyaways, cuticle nail cream, insect bites, open wounds, nappy rash, sunburn & gravel rash. It pretty much cleanses and relieves. Available: From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $20 for 200g/$13 for 75g/$7 for 25g.
