Brunette Beauty

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: Champagne Pop - soft gold with a mix of pink and peach undertones. 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 on top of other powders or has caused me any irritations. Depending on how much is applied I can get 4-5hrs wear. The iridescence shimmer along the cheekbones is ab...

Packaging: Wide & stumpy clear plastic bottle with a small white screw top cap. It's a simple packing with minimum white text. Great for indicating how much product is left. This set also came with a palm fixed metal tin. Smell: Vanilla. Colour: Blue (in high concentration). Formula/ Texture: This is rinse free, quick drying solution. It's non greasy or oily. The formal cleanses, conditions and deodorises brushes. The purpose is for makeup artist to use on the go to deeply clean make up brushes between clients. They are ready to use once the bristles are dry which can be upto 5minutes if the bristles are thick. It helps loosen the makeup pigment stuck on the bristles even on long wearing formulas. The best way to use this is to pour a little bit in the tin that will cover ¼ of the brush hairs of the particular brush. The brush hairs soak up the liquid, then wipe the sides of the brush against the tine to get excess liquid out. You can s...

Packaging: Hand size length smooth and shiny squeeze tube. The majority of the packing is transparent so you can see how much is left with a tiny portion on the top and bottom a black shade that matches the screw on cap. The tip is short and wide with a  2mm wide opening that provides decent product dispense. Smell: Silicone. Colour: Transparent. Formula/ Texture: This is a think, slippery velvet gel. It take a few minutes to absorb into the skin otherwise it can just rub off. I'm not a fan of this but I jumble my makeup routine to fit it in. I've found it best applied with fingers starting in the centre of the face working outwards. I do fell it 'sitting' on top of my skin. It is non comedogenic which it hasn't clogged my pores and broken me out nor has it caused any irritations. The purpose is to help extend makeup wear which this does by upto 4hrs. It also matinees the skin for oil and shine control. My t-zone is my most shines...

Packaging: Both are a matte squeeze tube with an opaque coloured bottle and short black lid. The nib is thin and a very small opening. The colour represents the result the formula is going to provide. The white for nourishing and the dark grey tube mattifying. There is no difference in packaging performance between the full and travel size. The plastic feels durable enough to withstand a beating and cane cut open to get all the remaining product out. Smell: None. Colour: White cream that blends out to nothing. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth cream. Its lightweight on the skin and is easy to apply, blend and absorb into the skin. I've had no irritations or breakouts with these which is awesome. The purpose of these primers is to assist in balancing the skin in preparation for makeup application. There is 5 texture and tone assist primers. Perfect range for a makeup artist to use on a variety of skin types. The range contains equalis...

Easily buildable. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth cream. This is best applied with fingers. It does set quickly so get it in the area you want using a small amount and build layers to reach desired pigmentation. It's easily removed with a basic makeup wipe. It's formulated with polymer technology, it fills in any imperfections on the skin’s surface, prepping lids for all-day wear. It glides on smoothly and blends beautifully. There's no creasing or transferring with this which is awesome. My eyelids can get oily during the middle of summer heat but no other issues outside of this. Longevity is honestly 12 hours+ in all weather conditions with additional layer of powder eyeshadow increasing this. The bronze shade of the primer ...

Packaging: Hot pink tinted circular glass jar with a suction lid. It's defiantly heaving enough and a two wick candle. It's a palm sized jar. Smell: Summery blend of grapefruit, lemon and watermelon. Colour: Wax is a cream but the tinted glass gives off a pink glow. Formula/ Texture: This scent fills my whole room and beyond, it's honestly one of the most potent candles that doesn't get sickening. Unfortunately though it's a limited edition candle that comes out yearly generally during October which is Breast Cancer Awareness month. 5% of recommended retail price less GST from this candle will go to The McGrath Foundation.   The McGrath Foundation raises money to fund McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities right across Australia and increase breast awareness in young Australians, with a particular emphasis on young women.   Available: Only from Peter Alexander stores, or glasshousefragrances.com / pet...
