Maybelline Colour Sensational Vivid Lipstick

-

Packaging:
Very light bright orange plastic square casing with a silver tube. The twist up mechanism is easy to use and no problems with it. This is typical packing of Maybelline lipstick ranges. The bullet is a standard slanted tip. It does feel cheap and not as substantial compared to other brands.

Smell:
Vanilla.


Colour:
902 Fuchsia Flash - bright pink with blue undertones.
885 Vibrant Mandarin - orange red with blue undertones.

Opaque pigmentation with a satin finish. Builable colour. Available in 7 shades.


Formula/ Texture:
This is thin and creamy in consistency. It's easy to apply straight from the tube with no lipliner needed. It does have a sheen to it that adds that 'I've also applied lipgloss on top' look. The shine disappears when in contact with anything like all lip products, but the colour itself I found to last a generous 4-5 hours which I'm enjoying. With this shade there is a slight remainder left behind but this is easily removed with a basic makeup wipe.

Theres no feathering, creasing, bleeding or filling into lip lines. Even though it is quite thin, I do found my lips to be a little hydrated once this is taken off.

I don't have anything like this colour in my collection so I am branching out into different shades. The colour is very pigmented. The pop of bright colour is a summer shade but I love to use it for something bright in winter.  I not usually daring with my makeup but I need to have anything bright pink! This shade seems to have broken that mould.

Being an on trend shade, I think the price is a little high if you aren't going to get a lot of use out of it but the formula a colour is a must have that clearly I am loving!!! Get this on sale don't pay full price unless the situation calls for it.

Available:
From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $14 for 4.2g.

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...

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...
