E.L.F Studio Blush

-

Packaging:
It is a black compact rectangle size with a smooth finish, as compared to the velvety exterior of NARS & a snap snap centre. There is a window on the lid to see the colour inside and a mirror on the flip side of the lid when it's opened up.

The colour pan packaging inside (the pan all the way to the edge) is also very similar to that of NARS blushes. It does come with a clear plastic overlay screen & is packaged in a all black cardboard box with a silky gloss like finish just without the shine.

Smell:
None.

Colour:
#83138 Fuchsia Fusion - bright  pink with blue undertones and some gold & silver shimmer. Opaque  pigmentation with glitter finish. It does go on more sheer than what is shown in the pan, which is defiantly a scary & intimidating blush when you first look at it. Available in 9 shades.


 Texture/ Formula:
This is so soft and finely milled but feels a little on the chalky side due to the chunks of glitter. It applies easily and a little goes a long way. Having said that though it is buildable and blends evenly.

From the crazy pigmentation I would suggest testing a small amount of this outside to see a truer colour representation before wearing it in public. I am very impressed with this blush from the pigmentation, to packaging, colour range and application. It's nothing amazing but decent for the price and a great start to a collection.

Available:
From Crush Cosmetics online at crushcosmetics.com.au for $8 for 4.8g.

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...
