MAC Lipglass

-
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 that may be due to the fact that they are sticky and it's a little hard to shmack the lips together and move the gloss around. All the colours have an extremely shiny,glass like, juicy lips payoff. This reflects the 'glass' aspect of the product name. They do contain Jojoba Oil that softens and conditions lips.

Im not a fan of sticky lipglosses where a strand of hair can get caught in the lipgloss as leave a swipe line across the cheek but apart from that there is nothing wrong with these lipglasses. The packaging tube is apart of the Back-2-MAC program where 6 eligble packaging can be return to a M.A.C counter to be recycled in exchange for your choice in a lipstick. These lipglosses may be expensive but do last a long while, I'm talking months.

Available:
Myer & David Jones counters or maccosmetics.com.au for $35 for 4.8g/0.17.

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...

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

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...
