Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Spot Concealer + Treatment

-


Packaging:
Palm sized opaque white plastic tube. The applicator is a semi circle soft sponge that is protected by a clear cap. The applicator and tube is separated by a clear section that you twist one direction that moves the product up through to the applicator.

When the sponge seems like it's getting dry with product you just twist this top section and more product is dispensed. When you have been using it for a while the product level is moved down and you can actually see how much you have used/ how much you have left. I like how fluffy and squishy the applicator looks.

Smell/Taste:
None.

Colour:
#220 Pale - light beige with very warm undertones. Satin finish & medium coverage.
Available in 5 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a thin and smooth liquid almost cream consistency. It is lightweight on the face with no cakeiness or settling into fine lines. It is easy to apply from the sponge tip and blend in using fingers or a brush. A basic makeup wipe will remove this.

I haven't experienced any creasing or transferring and I don't see any flash back in photos and has a longevity of 8hrs. It does take 120 clicks to get the product up through the tube and out onto the sponge with the very first use. From here one, click I've found to last me 2 separate makeup applications. The results long term does slightly visibly fade dark spot and acne pigmentation after 8 weeks of continued use.

The formula contains vitamin c known for it's brightening properties and Gogi berry. Faster results can be obtained with a higher concentrate vitamin C serum.

This was an extra step that is a conscious effort in order to see results with makeup. A more skincare based serum might work more effectively. Currently this isn't on US Maybelline website anymore.

Available:
Only from Ulta Beauty stores, ulta.com for US$9 for 6ml/0.2oz.

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...
