Urban Decay Pore Perfecting Complexion Primer Potion

-

Packaging:
Box has a silver foil writing & colour fades from purple to black, top to bottom. The tube is very similar to new packaged eye primer potion. There is the genie silver screw off top with a dark purple squeeze tube with silver text. The tip is fine and about 3mm wide. It feels as though is a decent amount of product in the tube that'll last a while. The tube can be cut open to get remaining product.

Smell:
None.

 Colour:
Beige with pink undertones. This colour sheers out on the face and is undetectable.


Formula/ Tetxure:
This is a smooth thickish gel like consistency. It is non-greasy and easily absorbed. I've not had any sensitivity, irritations or breakouts from it. It's easy to apply with fingers and blend in. I feel that a normal amount of the primer just isn't quite enough to cover my face - unless it's the thickish like consistency that makes me think this?

My skin did feel hydrated during and after it was worn. I didn't notice any fine lines reduced but I did notice that it reduced the size of my pores. It leaves a slight tackiness on the skin which extended the longevity of my makeup well by 2-3 hours. It did make foundation application smoother and look flawless. It has a mattifying finish which lasted throughout the day.

I enjoyed this primer and I hate to say this as it was pricey but it was just 'okay'. It's a nice hybrid between cream and silicone based primers. So if the silicone based primers felt too heavy on our skin then try this out. If you have drier to normal skin then you'll enjoy this. Oily skin types will love the mattify finish. 

Available:
Only from Sephora stores, sephora.com for US$31 for 28ml/0.94fl.oz.

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...
