Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick

-

Packaging:
Shiny black square tube. The lid is separated from the bottom by a thick gold band that flows inside the tube. The top has a white engraved Chanel symbol with the shade name and number on the bottom. The actual lipstick product is rounded. The twist mechanism works smoothly with no problems. The tube itself does feel quite substantial too paired with the sleek packaging.

Smell:
None.


Colour/Taste:
#54 Boy - beige pink. Sheer pigmentation with a sheen finish. It's the typical neutral classic everyday colour.
#57 Aventure - coral with gold shimmer. Sheer pigmentation with a sheen finish.

Buildable colour. Available in 18 shades (L-Adventure, R-Boy).


Formula/ Texture:
It's lightweight and gives a nice natural shiny finish. These lipsticks glide on easily from the tube and feel absolutely comfortable on the lips. I've found these to last 4 hours on my lips in terms of the colour, the shine goes when it comes in contact with anything, like usual lipsticks.

These are also hydrating and moisturising for 8 hours thanks to the hydra tender complex- really like this formula. LOVE, LOVE this lipstick! The benefits and shine of a lip balm combined with the colour and pigmentation of a lipstick. It's one of those lipsticks you can throw on without a mirror and know it'll look nice. C'mon what's not to love?!

Available:
From Myer & David Jones counters and Sephora in America for $43 for 3g/0.1oz.

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...
