Paul Mitchell Express Style Hot Off The Press Hairspray

-

Packaging:
Smooth, silver metal aresol can with a red nozzle and a clear cap. The nozzle sprays a long, fine and wide mist. The closer the spray reaches the air the more dense and narrow it'll be. I haven't had the nozzle clog on me.

Smell:
Floral.

Colour:
None.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a fine, thin liquid that's a bit tacky to the touch. It is very lightweight on the hair and easy to comb out. If too much is sprayed in the one area and the spray is concentrated, the hair is stiff and this does take a bit of care to comb out.

This did take a bit of a learning curve to get used to. My first coupe of tries, I sprayed too much and didn't hold any curl. When the straightener was ran through I heard sizzling, mean my hair was wet. This was from spraying too close to my hair and not taking into consideration the length of the spray.

For myself I have to hold the can out farther then I typically would with a heat thermal protectant spray. Therefore the spray took longer to dry as it was saturated and caused some frustration. I did feel like this caused me to use a lot of product as it feels like the can is half empty.

Hairspray function worked really well. My curls and style were locked into place without any helmet feeing. It was easy to brush out as well.

I really like this product - so unique and nothing similar on the market as far as I can see. It's defiantly worth picking up and trying!

Available:
Only from Ulta Beauty stores, ulta.com or myhaircare.com.au for US$12/$24 for 150ml/fl.oz.

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...
