Maybelline Master Sculpt Contour Compact

-

Packaging:
Sqaure bulky shiny but smooth compact with a snap closure. The lid has a window so the shades can be seen with metallic text. Lifting the lid reveals the round pan powders. Lifting this portion reveals a hidden travel domed brush and mirror. Even with this I do feel like this could be made to be less bulky.

The bristles on the bush aren't scratchy to the touch but it's been poorly cut with the dome shape uneven. I would like see a divider between the two shades so you don't highlight the contour your doing.

Smell:
None.

Colour:
01 Light/ Medium
1 Contour - light brown with warm undertones. It has a matte finish.
2 Highlight - soft icy beige with warm undertones. It has a satin finish.

Also available in a darker shade.

Formula/ Texture:
This is an extremely buttery powder that does kick up some excess powder. They are easy to apply and blend. I do recommend tapping your brush before touching it to your face to make sure you don't create a blotchy spot on your face.

I love how drugstore brands are starting to imitate the higher end brands with more technique specific product such as this. It hits the on trend theme for this summer which is the natural and heathy tan and glow. The highlight isn't too shimmery which is great for younger girls and those who hate the shimmer finish. The satin does make the highlight more natural like.

Both of the products last 5hours on my face using a primer and a setting spray for reference. That's not the best longevity I've found but it makes it great for a more natural, give and easy look.

There's not a lot of fussing with this at all. Great for makeup and contour beginners and those who hate sending forever on their makeup each day.

Available:
From Priceline, chemists and discount department stores for $17 for 9g/0.31oz.

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...
