YSL Touche Eclat Concealer

-

Packaging
It comes in a gold, shiny box with the shade number on the top and the tube is circular palm length shiny gold. This has a soft flexible brush tip and a click activator pen end. The lid secures tightly with a click. There is very minimal text on the tube itself but with the shine, it's unmistakable. 

Smell:
None.

Colour:
1-light beige. Medium to full coverage with a satin finish.



Formula/ Texture:
This is a thin and smooth liquid/ cream consistency. It's easy to apply just by clicking the end, wait for the product to appear at the tip and brush this onto the areas on your face you want to highlight. The first use does require a lot of clips before product starts to come out. A little product does go a long way. It is easy removed with a basic makeup wipe. There is no reflection in flash photography.

This is a highlighting type of concealer not a concealer. It has reflective pigments in it from what I can gather that bounce light off the areas this has been applied. So if applied to blemishes they would be more obvious and highlighted. Not something anyone wants. It can be placed over the top of concealer however. It has great longevity of 9hrs on me.

It has great pigmentation but looks and feels undetectable on the face. This pen is absolutely amazing and I don't say that often at all. I apply this onto the tops of my cheekbones, down my nose but can also be applied around the nose. It gives my skin a lifted and radiant effect in a natural way. It's a lot less shimmery than cheek highlighter but smoother and lightweight then a concealer.

I really don't know how I lived and looked before this product. It is pricey but 100% worth the money and more. Even with no makeup this product does wonders. It won't make oily skin look greasy either.

I hope this can be seen on my cheekbones but I highly, highly recommend this. It's subtle but has an impact and this is on bare skin.

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...
