Olay Anti-Aging Eye Cream

-

Packaging:
Palm sized glass jar with a shiny black lid. If you're not careful the cream can catch on the sides and cause the lid to not screw on tightly.

Smell/Taste:
None.

Colour:
Beige. This sheers out when applied and I don't see any tint being added to the skin. I do notice very fine gold shimmer particles in the cream. In sunlight you can actually see this under your eyes. Werid and different.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a thin and smooth cream. It feels lightweight and refreshing on the eyes. I find it to be non greasy, tacky and easily absorbed.  The formula contains glycerin, citric acid & cucumber extract - from which I know are great properties to have in boosting the cells under the skin around the eye to help with fine lines and puffiness.

As with Olay's Total Effects line, this does claim to fight the 7 signs of ageing; fine lines and wrinkles (little), dark circles (no), crows feet (not applicable), puffiness (yes), uneven tone (yes), uneven texture (YES), dryness (YES).

As you can see the majority of the points I saw a noticeable difference using this cream after the first 2 weeks. I don't have massive dark circles, wrinkles or major uneven skin tone so I don't know how it'll work on those that do but I did notice a slight difference in tone. My eyes tend to lean more dry then anything so it was nice/ a relief to have a product that did what it claimed to do.

I'm not even halfway through the bigger then expected sized jar yet as a little goes a long way, but I can defiantly tell you this is a really good eye cream for all skin eye types and ages. It actually does what it claims to do and improves more than the appearance of the skin texture.

Available:
From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $27 for 15ml/oz.

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...
