Gariner Dark Spot Corrector

-

Packaging:
Metal white squeeze tube with a yellow screw lid. The packing is quote heavy and large for what I was expecting it's larger than a usual or typical moisturiser tube. The metal packaging does get all crumpled when getting down to the last of it and makes it hard to squeeze out.

I think that the reason for the metal packaging is because the Vitamin C brightening component is concentrated at 5% and this helps keep at a optimum temperature.

Smell:
Metal/ fake tan smell on your hands after application. Think this is the Vitamin C complex.

Colour:
White in high density but clear when applied and absorbed onto skin.


Formula/ Texture:
I had no hopes for this being a miracle worker in terms of completely removing blemish marks. Especially not in the 4 weeks it was meant to show the greatest results. This gel like moisturiser is easily applied and absorbed onto the skin. There is defiantly no greasy feeling or residue.

I did find some reduction in the appearance of blemish marks over the past 3 and half weeks, however this was to light blemish marks, the ones you can pick up yourself when you look in a mirror. This was on my forehead in the middle of eye brows and on my left cheek. The more pigmented marks I didn't find reduce in appearance that noticeably.

The main component of this formula is a 5% concentration of Vitamin C, known for brightening. This affects sun & age spots & blemish marks. It gives the overall effect of more uniformed and even skin tone.

I did use this twice daily which I do think made the results more noticeable sooner. I did find the moisturising properties effective and my skin wasn't left dry. I think this would suit any skin tone/type and any age. A little bit of this moisturiser does go a long way.

Available:
From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $16 for 50ml.

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.

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...
