Benefit Benetint

Image
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...

Sally Hansen Pumice Foot Polish

Image
Packaging: Tall thin organe & white plastic squeeze tube. The opening is standard size and enough product comes out. Smell: Lavender, which isn't overpowering. Colour: White Texture/ Formula: Thickish cream with fine grains. I feel as though there is moisturising ingredients such as tea tree oil thats helps deodorize the feet leaving this beautiful refreshed smell. I think this smell subconsciously makes the feet relax and muscles loosen up. It's easy to apply from the tube an remove with warm water. I haven't had an irritation or itchiness. This foot scrub is a very gentle and fine granules. If you have sensitive feet or don't have course skin then this is perfect. For me personally it is a gentle foot scrub. If you prefer something a little more intense then skip this. Good th...

Benefit Badgal Lash Mascara

Image
Packaging: Black tube with silver handle. The mascara name is written on the side in white and pink colour which adds a nice contrast against the tube. The wand is a traditional wand made from wire bristles and coned shaped. The wand size is large compared to come other mascaras but is something that I am used to so wasn't a problem. Smell: Wax. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Available in 3 shades and a waterproof version. Texture/ Formula: The formula is thick and dry. Theres no flaking or extra product on the wand. I had no irritations and found it easy to remove. This is one of those mascaras that is great when first opened and used. It gives such great volume and length in my lashes. I wouldn't say that the curl is all that awesome, I think the Dior DiorShow does a much better job in these 3 areas. You can build ...

Palmers Skin Smoothing Lotion

Image
Packaging: Metallic teal plastic bottle with a snap close lid. Smell: Almost like fly spray but it's the Alpha/Beta Hydroxy in the formula. Colour: Butter Yellow. Texture/ Formula: The texture is thin cream that is lightweight, easy to apply and is easily absorbed. My skin looks and feels hydrated with no greasy after feel. Im not sure about the claim that the lotion exfoliates dry skin cells to uncover healthier skin, but my skin defiantly without doubt feels so much smoother and sexier. I like using this lotion to make my skin feel this way. I will defiantly have to compare this to other lotions, but so far I really like it! Available: From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $14 for 250ml/ 8.5 fl.oz
