Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Lip Pencil 'Ozone'

-

Packaging:
Thin round pencil with a silver end and cap and comes in a bright purple cardboard box. The majority of the pencil is coloured to match the lip liner shade. In this case the pencil is white. I can't verify how accurate this is with the remaining shades though. The tip is short but with a soft point and wears down easy.

Smell/Taste:
None.

Colour:
Ozone - clear wax. Matte finish.
Available in 15 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a smooth, thick wax. It's easy to apply from the pencil, is lightweight and comfortable on the lips. It's easily removed with a basic makeup wipe.

 Easy to sharpen, I haven't experienced any irritations, feathering, tugging or skipping when applying and wearing this.

My first lipliner. I've never thought having a liner to closely match all your pinks/ reds etc was necessary especially if it was darker then your lip colour, it alters it. I want the colour of my lipstick to show true on my lips. I understand that bolder colours like reds and fuchsias need a liner though. 


Urban Decay was the first brand I saw that had this anti feathering/ clear pencil so I guess I was partial to the brand. The idea is genius, the one liner for all your lipsticks that does the same job as a lip liner but doesn't alter the shade. I'm really excited to see how this works.  I know of a whole lot of brands that are offering this type of pencil now. So naturally I want to try them all.

Due to the colour I can't judge how long this lasts but I can say that tested with a bright fuchsia pink, this colour didn't feather or smudge all day. Now I think that says something about the longevity of the wax.

Different to the conventional lip liners, clear liners are placed where you want the colour to stop. This is outside the natural lipline not on it. Otherwise the colour will just fall short and some of your lip will show.

I really love this liner and the whole concept of the clear wax lip liners. Again this is my first kind of the liners so I have nothing to compare it to in terms of not having a feathering lip colour. I love using this with any shade now that's not beige! Even for those who don't use lipliners, pick this up and you'll notice how easy and compatible this is! A clear lip liner will always be in my collection.

Available:
Only from Sephora stores, sephora.com for US$18 for 12g/ 0.04oz.

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.

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...
