Rimmel Stay Glossy Lipgloss

-

Packaging:
The tube is clear with a metal handle on the wand. The felt tip applicator is different to the standard doe foot shaped. It is spatula shaped, flat sides, thin and when turned on the side it tapers to a thiner tip. Having the applicator this way I felt more distributed the lipgloss more evenly and sheer as there is less surface area. I could go back into the tube and get more product to build up the opaqueness.


Smell:
Kinda like wax.

Colour:
#160 Stay My Rose - darkish pink with sliver flecks of shimmer. Sheer pigmentation with a gloss finish. Defiantly not the colour you see in the tube it's a lighter version of that. Available in 9 shades.


Texture/ Formula:
This lipgloss felt smooth between my lips, wasn't sticky or tacky, felt thin, things that I feel make a good lipgloss. Being labelled 'stay glossy' I assumed that this gloss was shiny as and that would last a while which I felt it did only on the first part.

The shine lasted as long as you went without eating or drinking the gloss off. Rimmel claim that the shine will last 6hrs due to Shine Extended Technology but I'm not sure how accurate this is because if so than there would still be some gloss remaining on the lips after a sip of coffee but this doesn't which is disappointing. The formula contains cotton to care for the lips and silk to keep lips moisturised.

I feel this was good as a free item with purchase but I would be majorly disappointed in I paid $15 for this as I feel the colour and shine factor lack big time. In saying that this could work nicely as a good gloss to layer over the top of lipsticks to add shine and a lil touch of pink colour.

Available:
From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $15 for 5.5ml.

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.

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...
