GlamGlow Supercleanse Daily Clearing Treatment

Image
Packaging: Palm sized white opaque pump tube with silver text and elements. Wide, flat nozzle that dispenses a slither of product. A number of pumps is required to get adequate product. Smell/Taste: Licorice. Colour: Dark grey. Formula/ Texture: This is a thick, smooth product. It requires some work to dispense it and apply on the face. Once activated with water it does lather nicely to a foam. With a little massage and water, it does remove easily off the face. This does a really excellent job at dissolving makeup and oil from the face gently. It does help to mattify the skin and for me doesn't dry it out. I have combination skin and do use a light moisturiser afterwards and still don't feel any tightness. As well as lifting the dirt from the pores, I do find it to reduce the size of them too. This is defiantly something problematic skin will like. The only thing that fails for this product is the packaging. With every pump, the nozzl...

GlamGlow Poutmud Fizzy Lip Exfoliating & Wet Balm Treatment

Image
Packaging: Heavy, palm sized shiny metal spheres. They have a twist off cap with no stopper insert. This doesn't catch fingerprints (et) which is unique. It comes in this tall pink rectangle cardboard box that's got a twist in the middle. Each end contains one of the spheres. The ends open to reveal another metallic 'Hello Sexy' flap that lifts up, revealing the sphere. I thought this was a unique way to present the jar and it was nice to have my sexiness reaffirmed! Smell/Taste: Peppermint for both. Colour: Clear. Formula/ Texture: The exfoliant is a thick, goopy consistency with small sugar particles. It does create a little mess when applied to the lips but once massaged for 5 secs with warm water, this becomes redundant. It is suggested to use 2-3x a week to maintain the results. You can defiantly feel smooth lips after using this once. There's no dried out lips or greasy film left behind. I do add a little lip balm afterwards...

GlamGlow Flashmud Brightening Treatment

Image
Packaging: Heavy, palm sized smooth round metal jar with a plastic screw on lid. The jar has a orange and silver colour scheme. The lid features a silver star to match the silver embellishments. There is a product stopper that lifts out which can be either thrown away or kept. It feels considerably heavy and wide with not a lot of packaging wastage when you see how much product it holds. This could have something to do with keeping the natural ingredients/ acids fresh. It comes in this X shaped orange cardboard box. The lid is a flap that lifts up, revealing the jar in a cradle from the cardboard, covered by another 'Hello Sexy' flap. I thought this was a unique way to present the jar and it was nice to have my sexiness reaffirmed! This is a little larger jar size then the white supermud treatment mask. Smell/Taste: Citrus. Colour: Cream with brown flecks. Formula/ Texture: This is a lotion with fine grains. It is easily applied but your ha...

Maybelline FaceStuido Master Prime Blur + Smooth

Image
P ackaging: Thin, flat oval opaque black matte squeeze tube with a shiny screw on lid and baby blue text. The nib is surprisingly small at 1mm wide but gives control over the amount of product dispensed. This is travel friendly, durable and easy to get  the  last product out by cutting it open. Smell: None. Colour: White blended clear. Natural finish. Available in 3 formulas though. Formula/ Texture: This is thin and smooth that leans a little creamy. It's lightweight on the skin and easily applied and blended in using the fingers. It quickly absorbs leaving a natural finish. This hasn't caused me any skin irritations or breakouts but the formula is oil free and non comedogenic which is perfect for oil and combination skin types. I don't feel as though it does anything to pore size in the positive or negative. I do find it to control the natural shine of my skin through face makeup by the time I take it off ant the end of the day whic...

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...
