Beauty Blender air.port pro + Benefit Kit

-

Packaging:
Black mesh palm sized bag with a magnetic closure.

I dry my beauty blender on my window seal where it gets the most light and air to breathe. I've noticed that dust and dirt come in over the course of a few months especially during winter. I don't  think that's hygienic especially transferring possible bug remidents onto my face.

I've seen this mesh bag before and though that it'll suit my needs perfectly. Now I can keep this on my window still with the less likelihood of the sponge getting 'dirty'.  It's a lot smaller then I had imagined which is fine and makes it perfect for stage and any travelling. The closure is magnetic which really weighs the bag down when it's empty. It has a cute miniature beauty blender sponge keychain. It has enough space to fit two sponges and three snug.

It was also time for me to get a new sponge so this set caught my eye. What sealed the deal for me and made this a bargain was the deluxe same of the blender cleanser solid bar. I have the blender cleanser liquid which does a really amazing job of cleaning sponges and brushes. I have heard rave reviews for this and while I don't like to mess with slippery soap bars - a deluxe sample is perfect!

The icing on this cake was the mini samples of Benefit's "that gal" brightening primer and girl meets pearl liquid highlighter. Both I have tried during my phase with the Benefit brand. Both I really like and obviously love to try again.

I think the air.port pro is a great option for drying out the beauty blender and even more so for travelling. I am more comfortabel know ing I can dry my sponge anywhere in the house too :)

Available:
Only from Sephora stores, sephora.com for US$38. Beauty Blender $20 on its own for comparison.

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...
