Maybelline FaceStudio Master Conceal Camouflaging Concealer

-

Packaging:
Tall, skinny opaque beige and black squeeze tube with a screw off cap. The nib is 2mm wide making product control perfect yet tapers out to a wide solid base so it won't snap off with continuous use. The length makes it feel like a decent packaging value wise.

Smell:
None.

Colour:
#20 Light - light beige with warm undertones. Natural finish and medium buildable coverage.
Available in 5 shades. This light is the same light shade from the Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a thicker, smooth liquid. It's lightweight even under the eyes and best applied with fingers but can be also blended out with a sponge. It's easily removed with a basic makeup wipe.

The formula doesn't block or emphasis pores, cause any skin irritations, dry out the skin or create any flash back. It doesn't cake once set with powder. For my light skin I find it adds a brightening effect which I like and look for. I found this to last 14 hours on me + which has impressed me more.

This has medium coverage but can defiantly be built up to full with that undetectable look. It's quite impressive! Under the eyes or over pigmentation this covers up using a small amount.

Seriously I liken this to Urban Decay's Naked Skin Concealer and NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in both product texture and performance. Honestly all of these achieve maximum coverage with little product and a featherweight feel, it's very impressive! Maybelline is only a fraction of the price too!

Available:
Only from Ulta Beauty stores, ulta.com for US$9 for 12ml/0.4fl.oz. (unless it hit's Australia and I'll update this).

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...
