Revlon ColorStay Blemish Concealer

-

Packaging:
Doe foot wand, clear tube with a black handle top.

Smell:
Floral.

Colour:
#630 light/medium - light beige with slight orange/ warm undertones. Medium coverage with a matte finish. This is the wrong shade of concealer for me, I should have gotten the light one has that would have been more on the pink side in terms of undertone. Available in 3 shades: light, light/medium & medium.


Texture/ Formula:
This concealer is smooth, applies evenly and is a tad creamy cause the liquid isn't 100% runny. I have noticed that applying to much can make that area look cakey and turn orange and really noticeable. So with this concealer in this darker colour it is important too blend well and properly. Long lasting, buildable but can look cakey if set with too much powder, full coverage and easily to blend into skin if correct colour.

The good thing about this concealer is that it contains salicylic acid (0.5%) which heals exisiting blemishes as well as covering them. It contains Soft Flex with flexes with the facial moves so it doesn't split and crease into bits and fall off and is lightweight. It is oil-free which is a huge bonus for me as my makeup needs to be oil free to ensure that excess oil isn't being added to my face which can add to the possibility of getting more breakouts.

Overall I liked the formula of this concealer and it's coverage. Next time I'm in the market for a blemish concealer I'll pick this up.

Available:
From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $27 for 6.2ml.

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...
