Ardell Lashes

-
I have heard about these lashes being raved about and whenever I had a chance I would buy some and try them out. 


 Packaging:
All the lashes are on their on plastic tray inside a triangle snap close box. There is a small cardboard that is snapped into the box that is easily removed. it has information about how to apply the lashes. The lashes have semi permanent glue that makes them attached to the curved insert of the board. I like how this turns into a storage option for the lashes.

Smell:
 None.

Colour:
Demi 105 - full volume set of long lashes that are shorter the further into the inner eye.
Demi 120 - a little shorter in length and less fuller. Instead if the straight hairs, the 'lashes' are in little clumps, I guess, of lashes and then the next section is less dense of flared lashes. This makes your lashes look for volumized but more natural and less dramatic compared to the 105's.
Available in varying styles of lash lengths.


Texture/ Formula:
These lashes are 100% human hair meaning that not only are they 100% cruelty free, they feel soft and blend more easily into the natural lashes and look less like 'fake' lashes than other brands. The quality of these lashes across the board is amazing, as each lash strip is knotted and feathered by hand to achieve the highest quality.

I really like these lashes. The 105's are a little too long in length for my eyes but at the moment i am really enjoying to 120's. I apply any false lashes with 1000 hour clear lash glue and apply the strip to my eyes using tweezers.

I am very careful with these and find that I can get at least 3 good uses out of one set ( I did screw one set of 105's up but chopping the length of the lashes too mismashed). I make sure when I get a chance next after wearing them to gently remove the excess used glue from the strips so that they look more like brand new. I have had no discomfort with wearing or removing these lashes.

Available:
From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $8 for one pair.

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...

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...
