Skindinavia Original Makeup Finishing Spray

-

Packaging:
Palm sized plastic white bottle with a black spray nozzle and soft black bottle packaging. Comes with a clear lid that snaps on tightly. They have recently updated the packaging on their products so this bottle is the old but distinguished blue the hints of blue.

Smell:
Floral. Very similar to the Bridal Makeup Setting Spray.

Colour:
Clear.

Formula/ Texture:
This liquid has an ultra fine mist. It's lightweight on the skin and easy to apply. You do have to shake the bottle well and spray at least 20cm away from the face for ultimate coverage. I've never had the nozzle clog on me.

The formula is paraben free & hypoallergenic meaning that it suits all skin types during all seasons of the year. Skindinavia claim that this spray extends the wear and vibrantancy of colours throughout the day and up to 16hrs. I have used this on days over the 12hr mark and my makeup as though I have worn it for a few hours and not completely gone as expected.

I had very few touchups through the day. I used this travelling from a winter to summer country and my makeup held up exceptionally well. It's a nice mid day refresher and doesn't dry out the skin.  It shows the temperature control technology at work.

The finish of this spray is natural. Compared to the Bridal formula, this more enhanced the natural sheen of my face whereas the Bridal I feel offers a more shine controlling finish. It defiantly is a great all round make up setting spray.

Available:
From skindinavia.com.au for $40 for 118ml/4 fl.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...

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...

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...
