Bobbi Brown Corrector

-

Packaging:
Slim small round black shiny plastic compact. The inside lid is a full mirror. The bottom portion is the product which is smaller than I was expecting from the pictures online. It's easy to clean but does pick up grubby fingermarks.

Smell: 
None.

Colour:
Light Bisque - light beige with pink undertones. Medium to full coverage/pigmentation with a natural matte finish. Total of 11 shades that either very pink or very yellow undertoned. Compared to the Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage, this is much pink undertoned.
L-Bobbi Brown R-Laura Mercier
Formula/ Texture:
This is a thin consistency and creamy texture. It does feel lightweight under the eyes. I feel that the thin consistency allows you to apply a lighter layer, avoiding creasing. I haven't found this to settle into any lines either. It's easy to apply with either a small synthetic brush or fingers. It is long lasting of 8hrs.

It has skin conditioners infused in the formula which I found interesting. I feel that the undereye area could also do with addition hydration so it doesn't dry out and form creases/wrinkles and those ugly dry patches of skin. The purpose of this corrector is to neutralise undereye darkness and is used before concealer. I defiantly feel that this does this well adding that youthful brightness. I apply this after foundation and before concealer.

Compared to the Laura Mercier Secret Concealer in it's full sized version, this feels more lightweight. It blends well. Longevity is the same. LM is a screw off lid, compared to a compact form. I found screw off products to be a little the consuming and prefer compacts that shut close easy. LM contains 2.2g worth of product compared to 1.4g from BB and is a dollar cheaper. 

Honestly they are very similar to me. Based on quantity and money I'd prefer the LM.

Available:
From Myer & David Jones counters Mecca Cosmetica stores (meccacosmetica.com.au) and  bobbibrown.com.au for $40 for 1.4g/0.05oz.

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...
