Becca Shimmering Skin Pressed Perfector

-

Packaging:
Palm sized plastic compact. It has a rubberised texture with a domed metal embellishment engraved with  'Becca', which reminds me of an alien spaceship. Inside the lid is a full sized mirror that is going to catch dirty fingerprints and powder fall out.

It feels sturdy which is great for any type of travelling but I feel as though the domed metal adds for wasted packaging as the powder sits well into the pan. It's not as slim as I think it could be.

Smell:
None.

Colour:
Rose Gold - peachy gold with warm undertones and gold shimmer. Pigmented with a shimmer finish. Buildable coverage.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a finely milled and smooth powder. A light tap with a brush picks up product but expect a little bit of fall out from the shimmer.

It doesn't cake ontop of other powders or has caused me any irritations. Depending on how much is applied I can get 4-5hrs wear. The colour fades first and the shimmer remains. While it's not a drastic difference it doesn't look as fresh as when first applied. For the price it's a little disappointing.

The iridescence shimmer along the cheekbones is beautiful! It's not too icy that it comes off frosty but defiantly resembles a healthy, natural look. I personally don't find this to be too much or over powering. Against a tan, this will add that glow but regardless look beautiful.

I defiantly think everyone should at least swatch this as it'll suit every skin tone. Those with a fair complexion might want to use a light hand though.

Available:
Only from Sephora/Ulta Beauty stores, sephora.com/ulta.com for US$38 for 8g/0.28oz.

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...
