Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant

-

Packaging:
White opaque plastic squeeze tube. The pattern on the tube has faint '8' looking symbols over the tube.

Smell:
Smells nice & unique, sorta fruity but not.

Colour:
Apricot colour when in thick density but when the cream gets thinned out the colour is clear.

Texture/ Formula:
This product is more of a petrolatum than a cream. Similar to Vaseline, that thickish gel. This helps with the intensive moisturising, skin smoothing and protection. It also contains Vitamin E which is an antioxidant which helps protect from radical damage and also has smoothing properties. Salicylic acid is also in this petrolatum which helps exfoliate the skin to reveal smoother skin to be healed.

 This cream isn't sticky at all and is surprisingly easily absorbed into the skin from original thoughts when you first try it.

This cream has eight multi uses as listed below. Yes you can really use it for each problem list below. I have tried it I dare you too.
1 Skin Saver: Protect skin from drying wind, central heating and air-conditioning. This skincare multi-tasker soothes, restores, calms and helps relieve minor skin irritations including roughness, redness, chapped, cracked or dry skin.

2 After-Sun Soother: With its legendary soothing and moisturizing benefits, it's the ideal after-sun treatment to relieve minor sunburn and calm dry, irritated sun-exposed skin.

3 Shine Factor: Found in top makeup artists' kits worldwide, this all-in-one beauty tool adds shine to eyelids, cheeks, lips and legs.

4 Eye Opener: All it takes is a dab to smooth eyebrows and create a perfectly defined arch that will stay in place all day.

5 Cuticle Conditioner: Soften rough, dry cuticles to keep them smooth, supple and beautifully manicured.

6 Treat for Feet: Smooth rough heels and soften soles for barefoot beauty in every season.

7 Flight Tool: Flying can leave skin looking and feeling dry and uncomfortable. Take along this intensive hydrator to boost skin's in-flight moisture level wherever you go.

8 Leg Wear: Calm irritation, reduce redness after shaving or waxing to leave legs super smooth and silky soft.
It's the all-in-one product for a subtle, healthy looking sheen on lips, eyelids, cheeks.

 I haven't used it as a daily all over face moisturiser but when I do I'll defiantly update this post. I am really amazed with this product. Not only does it do what it claims to do and the hype that follows this product but it goes beyond that and heals and replenishes well. 

Available:
From Myer for $38 for 50ml or $26 at Chemist Warehouse.

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...
