MAC Creme de Nude vs. Revlon ColorStay Soft Nude 70

-
So I wanted to compare these two lipsticks as I thought and the more I looked at them the more I thought that they looked similar and got excited that the Revlon will be a dupe for the MAC. In the post I did for the Revlon Colorburst lipstick I mentioned that I thought this may be the case and I was really wanting the MAC Creme de Nude.


Colour:
They both look similar in the tube as you can tell from the above picture. I'm not sure the picture is picking it up but the Revlon is a little more orange in the tube. Or should I say more on the orange side.

The MAC Creme de Nude is swatched on the right side in both photos. When it is swatched the colour is more opaque. It is a more muted neutral peach nude and leans more this way.

Revlon's Colorburst in Soft Nude is a neutral beige peach nude but it has a little more of an orange undertone to it that makes it a little more darker nude in comparison. This is swatched on the left. the organ undertone is intensified with every swatch and layer added to make the evenness of the colour the same.

Texture/ Formula:
In terms of opaqueness and texture they are both on par with each other giving a nice sheen finish to the lips. However I do feel as though the Revlon is a little on the drying side.

Results:
Look to be honest I think that it's worth forking out and spending the extra $$ on the MAC lipstick. The colour of this lipstick is the only reason why. The undertone is more neutral so it suits more skin tones, I actually don't think the orange undertone looks good on anyone. It's very unflattering and the drying formula of the Revlon lipstick is just not worth buying it just cause it's cheaper and more readily available.

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...
