Revlon Colorstay Lipgloss

-

Packaging:
The packaging is similar to the colorburst lipsticks. The tube itself is a clear square. The lid is the criss cross black found on the lipsticks with the silver label. The wand is very long, which is a lil weird to get used to at the beginning but is actually quite handy. Not only does it reach all the way to the bottom of the tube (uh I would hope Revlon would manufacture them like so), it makes it less invading on your lips when you put some gloss on. As in you don't feel like the handle is right on your mouth when your applying it.

The shape of the applicator is unique and the first I have seen of it. It's not the typical doe foot, whilst it still is sponge. The shape reminds me of a spatula, where in the middle is flat and thin. It doesn't feel as though it picks up too much product so a lot isn't dispensed onto the lips but an even application in one swipe. So the product is defiantly buildable.



Smell:
Vanilla.

Colour:
004 Pink Ice - baby pink with some cool undertones to it. Sheer pigmentation with a gloss finish. Nice colour that goes with everything. Available in 15 different shades.


Texture/ Formula:
It's a smooth but thick texture. It's easy to apply straight form the tube. While it's not sticky, I do find the lipgloss mark across the cheek if it's windy and hair gets caught on my lips with this. It does require a little more effort to remove with a basic makeup wipe from the thickness. It doesn't smudge unless it comes into contact with food or drink which other then that has a longevity of 4hrs.

The lipgloss has Elasticolor technology and micro-pearl crystal formula which distributes colour evenly. The finish is a glassy mirror-like shine that I love! It's as if you're lips are drenched with shine. It also has moisturisers and antioxidants including Sweet Almond Oil & Vitamin E, that condition lips and improve lip texture. Well my lips never felt dry after this was gone.

If you're looking for a long lasting gloss, this isn't it. It is however a good gloss that protects the lips and delivers shine. 

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

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...
