Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Mascara

-

Packaging:
Smooth sleek metal round tube. It has 'Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill' engraved in the bottom portion of the tube. The tube is surprising quite heavy. It's not something I'd notice in a mascara but compared to all my other tubes it's noticeable. This adds to the luxe/ exclusive feel of the brand. The wand is a wire bristle.

Smell:
Typical mascara.


Colour:
Shade 1 - Very Black. Also available in a waterproof formula.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a thick and smooth liquid. It is surprisingly easy to remove with a basic makeup wipe. It doesn't take much effort to apply this, just wriggling this at the base and through your lashes. It hasn't caused any irritations or itchiness. I do find a tiny bit of smudging only if this is on my lower lash line.

My lashes don't feel stiff or dried out even with two coats. The pigmentation of this formula is dense black but for some reason I fell like it's not as dark as some others I've tried.

It has a little bit of a curl but much more volume and length to it. The volume really starts at the base of the lashes, opening up the eye giving them a natural and flirty look. This lasts all day with no dropping or flaking. It gives this very nice volume to your lashes and can be built up to these va va voom lashes and with absolutely no spidery effect.

If you prefer the thick looking lashes then you won't like this. If you like the long million lashes then this is defiantly for you. I love the effect of this mascara and how voluminous my lashes look with either one or two coats.

Available:
From Myer & David Jones counters for $57 for 6.9ml.

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...

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...
