Too Faced Le Creme Lipstick

-

Packaging:
Slim metal matte gold tube. The bottom half has embossed 'Too Faced' to match the 'TF' on the top of the lid. The lid shuts very snug but the tube feels almost chunky when you wind up the round slanted bullet.

Smell/Taste:
None.
Colour:
Marshmallow Bunny - muted bright pink with blue undertones. Opaque pigmentation with a sheen finish. Buildable colour.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a creamy, thick and smooth product. It is very easy to apply from the tube, gliding effortlessly onto the lips. I didn't find the colour to fall into my lip lines or bleed. If touched it will smudge but the longevity on these is 4hrs. Not too long but as expected from a more creamy shiny formula.

What I found is these are so hydrating!! The creamy texture helps the colour smooth onto the lips and feels so comfortable and lightweight. There is lotus flower extract in the formula that also soothes and conditions the lips using antioxidants. I think this makes any lip colour wear so much better.

The closet drugstore option I can think of is the Maybelline Color Whispers but they lack the pigmentation. I'd admit this is expensive but if I can find a lipstick thats hydrating and providing benefits to my lips that a lipbam does but comfortable with intense colour pigmentation, then that's me all over.

If you already have a moisturising opaque lipstick then these won't impress you. If you are looking to try one or a different brand then give this ago. 

Available:
From Mecca Cosmetica, meccacosmetica.com.au for $32 for 3g/0.11oz. I got mine from Sephora for US$22.

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...
