Too Faced Melted Kisses Set

-


Packaging:
Palm sized plastic tube with a screw on cap. The tube is an opaque colour that corresponds to the shade inside. This is topped off with a good cap to match the corresponding gold accents.

There is a unique felt sponge applicator that has many holes in it to evenly spread the colour onto the lips. I do find this to be too tall as with heavy use, the tip looses it's precision as the colour drapes to the sides.

Smell/Taste:
Manufactured product.

Colour:
Melted Nude - beige nude with warm undertones.
Melted Peony - soft baby pink with cool undertones.
Melted Fuchsia - bright pink with blue undertones.
Melted Berry - deep berry shade with warm/red undertones.

Opaque pigmentation with a semi matte finish.
These are all part of the permanent range which has a total of 18 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
These are a thinish, smooth liquid. They are easily applied using the song tip applicator but this may loose it's precision over time with heavy use as the height of the sponge is quite tall. It does take a bit of effort to remove with a basic make up wipe too.

This is because these have a different texture. They apply thinly but dry and 'set' to a semi matte finish with a strong hold. Does transfer a bit once it dries which I find to be the top shiner layer. The colour underneath sets and acts like a stain and stays on the lips. The longevity of these is 8hrs.

Still comfortable on the lips though. Dry patches of skin will be picked up by this too. I have found these to bleed when heaps of product is applied which is especially noticeable with the brighter shades. When the colour does wear off I do find it to do so evenly.

I am really impressed with the formula and staying powder, they are really comfortable on the lips which I don't find with a lip product of this finish. The idea is perfect as it's a sample for those how've never tried these lipsticks. These are the shades I've been wanting to try too which is perfect so I can see if I like the formula without the risk of buying one shade of the full sized product.

Available:
Only from Sephora stores, sephora.com for US$25 for 5x 5ml.

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...
