Olay Pore Minimising Cleanser & Scrub

-


Packaging:
The first thing that I notice about this cleanser is the thickness of the tube. It's different in this and in weight to a typical cleanser container. The packaging is made from a durable clear plastic throughout including the lid and pump so I wonder if this has anything to do with the weight. The opening on the pump is also quote large for a cleanser. I think this has to do with the thickness of the product itself to get an adequate amount of product out.

The cleanser has a lever so to speak that pushes the product up from the bottom with each pump. This is good as you not only know no product is being wasted but can see how much is left. I think this would be good to travel with, but perhaps the initial weight when full may take up more room than expected.

The ribbons of the cleanser and scrub that can been seen does make for an interesting product & unique when it sits in the bathroom cupboard.

Smell:
Fresh.

Colour:
When combined it's a creamy mint. The green ribbon is the scrub and the cream ribbon is the cleanser.

Texture/ Formula:
This is thick and cream but thats because it's mixing a cleanser product and a scrub product. Being an oil-free formula there was no break outs or skin irritation/redness with using this and does lathers easily.

The cleanser I feel does a good job at cleaning remaining makeup off and going into my pores to remove dirt etc. The scrub has super fine particles that didn't give a truly deep done pore clean but I felt as though it was gentle enough for every day use. My largest pores are around my nose which are by no means large but up close in the mirror you can see them. I did notice that this cleanser did reduce them in size!

I really like this cleanser. It's defiantly a different approach to cleanser even the lift action of the product. I feel like this is a good option for sensitive skin, those who suffer from irritation form cleansers and those who are wanting to multi-task and start to introduce a scrub into their skincare routine.

Available:
From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $16 for 150ml/5 fl.oz.

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.

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...
