Sanctuary Spa 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask

-

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. Charcoal is great at detoxifying and really drawing out impurities. This did a good job at that. Nothing that I was amazed by but the best most affordable charcoal mask I've found readily available.

I love that this is a quick mask so you can get it on and off asap. I do feel that the results might be amplified if it was left on longer especially with the warming element to really make sure tpores are deep cleaned.

Available:
From Priceline, chemists and discount department stores for $20 for 100ml/3.38 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...
