Maybelline FaceStuido Master Prime Blur + Smooth

-


Packaging:
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 which can be up to 13hrs later. In saying that I haven't found my makeup lasting any shorter or longer when using this. I do like the way it evens out my skins texture a it to create a more smoother finish.

I really like the results of this primer. I defiantly feel like it's a better option compared to Maybelline's Baby Skin primer that was more silicone based. Makeup seems to hold onto the skin better with this the Master Prime. At the price to it's a more affordable option to L'Oreal and Revlon of which  their  primers perform  similarly.

Available:
Only from Ulta Beauty stores, ulta.com for US$9 for 30ml/1.fl.oz.

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...
