NYX Micro Brow Pencil

-

Packaging:
Slim, 6.5mm round shiny black mechanical, retractable pencil with white text. One end has a short cap with contains the built in spoolie, with the longer end containing the retractable wind up wax. The nib on this end is 2mm wide making it quite tiny. The plastic feels study great for travel and the ends click on securely.

Smell/Taste:
None.

Colour:
Chocolate - light to medium brown with warm undertones. Matte finish and medium coverage.
Available in 8 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a smooth thin wax. It applies smoothly with no skipping. It combs out easily using the supplied spoolie without any massive product removal. There is no smudging or transferring with this either.

This stayed in my brows all day and I don't use a gel to 'set' at all. I'm really impressed with this and the shades available will closely match a lot of hair tones.

 While this isn't ready to purchase here in Australia yet I do really like this as I feel like it gives the same result to Anastasia Beverly Hill's Brow Whiz. I'm struggling to find a point of difference that makes the Brow Whiz a more premium product other then the brand name. Seriously it's that close!!

 When this does hit our shores, defiantly make a point to pick up a couple of shades to find the one perfect for you for all seasons!!
Available:
Only from Ulta Beauty stores, ulta.com for US$10 for .09g/.003oz.

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...
