Lancome Lip Lover

-

Packaging:
Small, slim shiny silver round tube. The cap is engraved with the Lancome flower and the tube features a window to see the colour of the shade chosen. The twist off cap reveals a short flat and thin paddle like doe foot applicator.

Smell/Taste:
None

Colour:
#355 Framboise Etoile - Berry Pink. Sheer to medium pigmentation. Gloss finish.
Available in 14 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a smooth, soft with the consistency of a gel and thickness of a lip balm. This is easy to apply with precision thanks to the applicator. The coverage is definitely buildable and does require a specialised makeup remover to remove entirely.

The formula of this is created to have the shine of a gloss, pigmentation of a lipstick and a nourishment of a lip balm.

I do find a little bit of bleeding with this so I do use an anti feathering lip liner on the cupids bow only. Other then that I don't find it to shift much. It does transfer once in contact with food and drink. Brighter colours may experience more feathering and bleeding into the lip lines. If this is a issue for you then you may want to avoid this. The longevity on me is 2-3 hours.

I love this high shine this has! It claims to have the same intensity as a lipstick and I have to agree if the lipstick gives average pigmentation but not high pigmentation. The shine adds a fuller look to the lips which is nice. It doesn't feel sticky but most definitely comfortable on the lips and actually a bit nourishing which must be the lip balm side of the formula.

Available:
Only from Sephora, sephora.com for US$24 for 3.97g/0.14oz for the full sized version. This is a sample from America from the Sephora Favourites Give Me More Lip set.

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...

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...
