Palmer's Cleanser & Makeup Remover

-

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 not entirely lazy girl status. In terms of makeup removal, it gets rid of 90% of full coverage makeup. This includes the breakdown of mascara of which I was really surprised about. Stage and heavy dark colures makeup will require an additional makeup remover product. Light coverage makeup or the amount worn on a daily basis will almost be removed!! I don't rely on this as my only face cleaning as I always follow up with a cleanser.

I love everything about this makeup remover but just how gentle it is in particular and suited for all skin types! Dry skin will love the cocoa butter while more oily/ combination skin will appreciate the non stripping effect on the skin.

Available:
From Priceline, chemists and discount department stores for $10 for 150g/5.25oz.

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...
