Benefit The Bronze of Champions Kit

-
This kit is essentially Benefit's best selling products to create a bronze complexion. I took the opportunity to buy this to try the products for the first time. I think kits and value packs are the best way to do this as you get a taste of the product without forking out the money for the full sized product.

There was 3 available in this All Stars collection which featured the brands top products
- Bronze of Champions
- Do the Bright Thing
- Priming With the Stars

 I felt like this one had more products that I hadn't and wanted to try.




Packaging:
This kit comes in a decent sized cardboard box. It has a mirror (mine was broken when it arrived!!-bad luck or what!) on the reverse side of the lid. This also has built in yet detachable Tips & Tricks cards. The bottom portion contains the mini samples of each products. After you’re done with the products, remove the inserts and use them for keepsakes or whatever you want! Such a useful packaging Benfit, big ticks there!

The kit includes;
- Watts Up! highlighter   review here
- Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in 'Bikini-tini'   review here
- Longwear Eyeshadow in 'Thanks A Latte '   review here
- Hoola Blush Powder review here

Available:
This was limited edition I thought but it is still available at Myer & David Jones, benefitcosmetics.com for $59AU/$36US.

Innoxa Organic Brightening Eye Creme

-
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...

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...
