Addicted To Lipbalm Haul 30 Aug 2011

-
After hearing raves about the EOS lip balm spheres & the Sara Happ, I decided to take the punt and order them all in one hit- of course I won't be using them all at once.

Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Mascara

-
Image
Packaging: Smooth sleek metal round tube. It has 'Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill' engraved in the bottom portion of the tube. The tube is surprising quite heavy. It's not something I'd notice in a mascara but compared to all my other tubes it's noticeable. This adds to the luxe/ exclusive feel of the brand. The wand is a wire bristle. Smell: Typical mascara. Colour: Shade 1 - Very Black. Also available in a waterproof formula. Formula/ Texture: This is a thick and smooth liquid. It is surprisingly easy to remove with a basic makeup wipe. It doesn't take much effort to apply this, just wriggling this at the base and through your lashes. It hasn't caused any irritations or itchiness. I do find a tiny bit of smudging only if this is on my lower lash line. My lashes don't feel stiff or dried out even with two coats. The pigmentation of this formula is dense black but for some reason I fell like it's not as dark as...

L'Oreal Carbon Black Super Liner

Image
Packaging: Shiny black tube with the handle of the applicator is tapered towards the end and makes up the majority of the tube. It has a felt tip that is quite flexible. Smell: Fragrance free. Colour: 690 Carbon Black - intense black. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin, runny liquid. It is very easy to apply, with the handle. As the felt tip itself is slightly longer then others I've tried, I do find that I didn't have as much control as the tip really slid over the eye. If the tip was firmer or shorter this would be avoided. The harder you press the thicker the line is. It is apparently created with pigmentation that provides 2x more intense black which I really didn't get that, especially compared to other eyeliners I've tried. The black could be more intense for the claim that's being made. I found this to have a 6 - 8hr wear which isn't the longest wear time that I've experienced and made me a little disappointed. I...

Nailene Artificial Nail & Polish Remover

-
Image
Packaging: Wide and round opaque white jar with a screw on lid. It has a purple label with lots of white text. The foil seal is to be broken to reveal the plastic pink scrubber. You can immediately see the liquid level and that there's a tunnel to insert your finger where the soft spokes scrap off the product. Jar does have to be kept upright so no product is spilt. Smell: Acetone. Colour: Clear. Formula/ Texture: It does dry the skin out, like any other nail polish remover would, leaving a white ring at the libel the acetone went up on the finger. It's professional grade acetone that dissolves gel and normal nail polish. I found the gel needed more time soaking, even scrapping off some product in between dips so the acetone could penetrate further. I found SNS and nail glue where also efficiently removed! It's quick and easy to use and worked so much better then I'd thought. The spokes are soft so the only uncomfortable thing about thi...
