Brunette Beauty

Packaging: Orange plastic square with a reusable sticky opening tab. It has element of blue and black in the text. Defiantly very portable. Smell: Floral x alcohol. Colour: N/A. Formula/ Texture: These are a saturated thick cloth. They glide easy over the face with no tugging. My eyes can get sensitive and I've had no stinging using these over my eyes. It hasn't caused my skin to breakout which is good as this is oil free. The size of the wipe is standard and easy to have in the palm of your hand to use. The saturation of each wipe means that there's enough product to remove all your makeup, even the long wearing formulas. I haven't tried this on any waterproof makeup. I love how you can run it over your face a few times and there's enough product on the wipe, it really does extend the use. The efficiently and effectiveness that this is at removing makeup is amazing. These are the best affordable drugstore wipes I have tired. ...

Packaging: Blue, red and white shiny aerosol can. It has a hourglass shape that sits at the top of the can.. The spray nozzle twists unlocked which makes the product more secure for travelling. The nozzle is a decent open size and the straight structure and width of the can comfortable to hold for continuous spraying. The spray is flat and wide but with two streams very left and very right with a unclogged nozzle . I feel like this is too wide for each limb and impractical. Smell: Strong cocoa butter that lingers. Colour: White in high density. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin lotion. It is lightweight on the skin and easily applied using the continuous spray motion. The product still does need rubbing into the skin so I'm not sure it's any faster then standard body lotions. It's very fast absorbed with no greasy residue. I defiantly felt my skin drink this up and stay hydrated into the next day. My skin felt a lot smoother and this was t...

Packaging: Brown matte aerosol can. The spray nozzle twists unlocked which makes the product more secure for travelling. The nozzle is a decent open size and the straight structure and width of the can comfortable to hold for continuous spraying. The spray is flat and wide. I feel like this is too wide for each limb. Smell: Pleasant. Colour: White in high density. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin lotion. It is lightweight on the skin and easily applied using the continuous spray motion. The product still does need rubbing into the skin so I'm not sure it's any faster then standard body lotions. It's very fast absorbed with no greasy residue. I defiantly felt my skin drink this up and stay hydrated into the next day. My skin felt a lot smoother and this was the only alteration to my skin care routine. It didn't alter the finish of the skin. There is no shimmer/ glow to this. It's very easy to use but I don't think it's as...

Packaging: Small thin round white plastic container that has a twist off lid and blue and red colours on the lid. It's very durable and portable. Admittedly the packaging is quite basic but it suits the product very well. I find the lid to screw on nice and tight and flush. Smell: Floral. Colour: N/A. Formula/ Texture: These pads are very thin but feel like they hold a decent amount of product. In the tests I did with these, I always had on a base coat, two colour coats and seche vite top coat. Removing both hands took me through 3 entire pads compared to two soaked cotton balls. The third pad was a clean up and removed the tiny last traces of polish. They were defiantly easier to move around the nail and required less effort to remove darker colours but nothing considerable. Lighter colours will only need two pads. My nails were never left feeling dry, or greasy or with any residue on them. Nor have my nails felt more brittle or started to split...

Packaging: Slim and long grey plastic squeeze tube with white text. The cap is blue with a decent sized opening. Great for travelling and can be cut open in order to get the remaining product out of. Smell: Fake plastic. Not very pleasing. Colour: Light grey with blue specks. Formula/ Texture: This is a thick and smooth liquid with a tacky feel. A little effort is required to apply and spread over the face. You don't rub this into the skin and leave on for 5mins and rinse clean. It also means that it takes a little longer and more effort is required to remove this. I find a wash cloth great for this. When applied it does have a warming sensation on the skin that last as long as the mask is on. Nothing uncomfortable just very unique. If you don't like feeling warm then you might enjoy this sensation. It doesn't make my skin dry out but not moisturised either. The formula contains charcoal which is what drew me into trying this out. Charc...

Packaging: Slim light blue squeeze tube with sliver cap. The cap screws off the reveal the metal roller ball applicator. It does look like it sits a little low in the tube but it doesn't affect the product from coming out. Smell/Taste: Citrus. Colour: Clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth gel. It's very lightweight and easily absorbed into the skin. The roller ball is easy and gentle on the delicate under eye skin. The ball itself doesn't sit too far in the tube that it catches on the skin either. Once applied it leaves a refreshing and cooling effect. Coupled with the citrus scent has an awakening effect. This area also feels instantly hydrated thanks to the hyaluronic acid in the formula. It's great preparation for makeup and doesn't aper the natural finish to the skin. Citrus acid helps to brighten the skin while olive extract and ionic mineral complex claim to visibly reduce fine lines and created a more firmer ...

Packaging: Palm sized short and round container. The base is blue with the screw off lid a metallic gold. It feels very strong and durable. The opening of the container is massive and perfect for this type of product. Smell: Light floral. Colour: Light peach. Not visible in the hair. Formula/ Texture: This is a smooth and thick cream. It is easy to grab from the container and use. It might take a little adjusting from your normal routine to incorporate this as you apply a small amount onto your hair (dry or wet the directions don't specify) and leave for 3-5mins, rinsing with cool water. Even after the first use your hair is a lot softer making it more manageable. It feels silkier and smoother but also strong. Finally your hair looks shiner and that tad bit healthier. The result of this is thanks to the argan oil that is pretty widespread in skincare products now makes it's way to haircare. My hair doesn't feel greasy or weighed down afte...

Packaging: Thin and wide plastic squeeze tube with orange and cream colour scheme that features a shiny floral design. Cap has a sturdy hinge with a wide opening. Smell/Taste: Cocoa. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thick and smooth cream. It's easily applied to the skin and rinsed with water. There's no tugging or pulling at the skin. A small walnut sized is all that's needed which foams easily and leaves the skin feeling moisturised, soft, smooth with a natural finish. There's no residue leftover and it hasn't broken me out! The cocoa butter really helps to protect the skin and aid in water retention levels which is why my skin is left feeling so moisturised. I love how this has no parabens, dyes or phthalates. It's an all natural - no filler remover. The formula also contains vitamin E that soothes the skin. It's defiantly a quick and easy way to remove makeup but does require a sink so n...

Packaging: Bulky plastic casing with a ridge for the sponge. This isn't reusable or can act as a storage method once the sponge has been used as it can't breathe. The sponge itself is a tear drop shaped with a portion of it cut off on a sharp angle. Smell: None. Colour: Orange that doesn't transfer to the face. Formula/ Texture: This is a very dense sponge. When squeezed in the hands it is from and takes longer to bounce back and regain it's shape. The shape of the sponge has different purposes. The flat edge contours round the eyes and nose. The rounded body blends large areas of the face. While the pointed tip precisely covers imperfections. I have found each of these elements to work for it's purpose I much prefer using the pointed tip to get right under the eye area. It can be used wet or dry. Either way I have found that this does soak up more foundation than if I was using my fingers for application. So be sure to add a tou...
