Too Faced Primed & Poreless Pure Primer

-


Packaging:
White and gold foil box. Monochrome/ multi dimension thin & flat plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The tip is about 5mm so decent enough to get product out without wasting any.

Smell:
So weird and random. It's hard to explain and after a few seconds your nose gets used to the smell and you can't smell it anymore but it's not pleasant.

 Colour:
Clear.

Formula/Texture:
This primer is thick smooth gel. It is easily absorbed but I feel that if you rub it over your face too much the primer rolls up so to speak and comes off the face. In saying that a small amount is needed. I've had no irritations, sensitivity or breakouts. It's oil free which is awesome for my skin. My skin feel hydrated and refreshed was something I did notice a little bit but my skin isn't dry so it wasn't as noticeable.

I have noticed that it does mattify my face even throughout the day. It did reduce pore size and fine lines. I feel as thought the primer does a decent job also of keeping foundation getting an extra 3-4 hrs wear.

Just based on the initial smell of this primer I won't be re-purchasing it- I just dislike the smell sooo much and thats a shame cause it's a good primer. I could get over the smell a lot better then the feel of the silicone like the others I have tried. Maybe it's worth another shot and stop letting my nose be fussy??

Available:
From Mecca Cosmetica, meccacosmetica.com.au for $45 for 28g/1oz. I got mine from Sephora for US$30.

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...
