Opening the compact reveals the mirror on the full width underside of the lid with the bottom portion holding the powder. Smell: Chocolate/Cocoa. Colour: Chocolate -light brown with a cool undertones. Medium pigmentation with a matte finish. Too Faced recently released is a light version for paler skin even though this one is suited for all skin tones and types. Formula/Texture: This is a silky fine smooth powder. It feels lightweight on the skin and the colour has a medium opaqueness but is defiantly buildable. It's made from 100% real coca and it banishes redness on my cheeks and evens out the skintone in this area. Easy to apply and I notice very long lasting. I use asmall contour brush and I have no problems blending or blotchiness or anything along those lines with a little powder goes...

Clearasil Pimples & Marks Wash + Mask

Image
Packaging: Shiny blue plastic tube. The cap is very wide which makes it easy to open. Based on the width of the tube I feel like there's a lot of product. While you can't see how much product is left, it is great as it can be cut open to get the remainder out. Smell: Fresh clothes wash detergent. Colour: Grey green colour Formula/ Texture: This is a smooth thick clay liquid. I only use this for the mask side and find that it's easy to apply. Being a thick product you do have to work a little more to remove the mask then a typical one. Once removed it does leave a fresh feeling on the skin. It's formulated to reduce the appearance of marks left behind from pimples with the key vitamin B3 and then enhance the skin renewal properties from the lactic acid. It does a really good job of getting down into the pores and removing dirt and reducing the size of them too. As for the marks, I can only see a slightly reduction in the size of them. Any pimpl...
