YSL Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick

-

Packaging:
Luxxe gold shiny box that matches the round tube with flat ends. Very detailed "YSL' around the middle of the tube. Behind this is the colour of the lipstick so you can correlate the middle colour to the bullet inside the tube. The shade info is at the bottom of the tube. This does feel quite heavy which adds to the expensive look of the lipstick.

Smell:
Like managos! So yummy!

Colour:
#1 Nude Beige - light pink with neutral undertones. Opaque pigmentation with a satin finish.
#7 Lingerie Pink - light creamy baby doll pink. Opaque pigmentation with a satin finish. It swatches almost a light rose but on the lips can be patchy due to the creamy formula. This colour reminds me of NARS lips gloss in Turkish Delight.

Available in 15 shades.

#1 Nude Beige
#7 Lingerie Pink


Formula/ Texture:
This is a very creamy, smooth and lightweight lipstick. It has great pigmentation and like the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Lipsticks, a very natural satin finish with this amazing shine. Funnily it has an SPF15 but feels very comfortable on the lips. It glides on so smoothly and the colour lasts the usual time of 8 hours with the shine the first thing to fade.

The formula is moisturising enriched with fruit extracts, rich in vitamins and antioxidants. with my lips hydrated for 8 hours. There's no feathering or smudging but you can see a slight settling into the lip lines.

I love everything about this lipstick from the packaging to the shine to the hydration it's a luxxe lipstick to have. Great if you want to treat yourself.

Available:
From Myer & David Jones counters and Mecca Cosmetica stores, meccacosmetica.com.au for $55 for 4g/0.15oz.

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...
