Physicians Formula Powder Palette Mineral Glow Pearls

-
I was after a powder highlighting product purely to highlight my cheekbones. Honestly I wasn't really aware of what powder products were available nor was this urge to have a highlight product huge, it was a something that caught my eye when strolling through Priceline.


Packaging:
Round palm sized shiny metal plastic compact. The top half of the compact contains the powder itself in a clear dome lid with a fake half pearl embellishment. The bottom part of the compact includes a mirror on the reverse of the powder pan and a ditch for the included brush. The powder itself has raised bumps in a circular pattern that follows the shape of the pan. They remind me of replicas of pearls and has a irradesiant shimmer coating spray over the top. 

Smell:
Fragrance free.

Colour:
#7040 Translucent Pearl - champagne/peachy/pink colour with icy shimmer with cool undertones. Sheer pigmentation with a frost finish.


Texture/ Formula:
It's a fine milled, silky powder. It's lightweight on the skin. It's easily applied and blended with an angled brush. There's no fallout nor has it caused me any breakouts or skin irritations. It is noticeable in photos with this shimmer on the cheekbones. A little bit goes a long way. You can apply more for an intense shimmer.

The glow is very nice and the shimmer isn't heavy or chunky but just an iridescent finish to the skin. If Benefit's High Beam was in powder form this would be it. It gives such a nice, soft highlight to the skin. The product itself is going to last you ages!!

Available:
From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $30 for 8g/0.28oz.

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...
