Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Tulip

-

Packaging:
Metal dusty rose round tube with a screw on casing. The mechanical wind up is smooth with the bullet circular with a flat top. The colour corresponds to the shade inside. The size is great for purse or pocket. It's sturdy enough it wont get squashed or the lid popped off.

Smell/Taste:
Lemon Zest.

Colour:
Tulip - sheer rose. Sheer pigmentation with buildable coverage.
Available in 14 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
It's a thin balm. It's easily applied from the tube, gliding over the lips with no tugging. It's lightweight on the lips.

It contains an SPF15 and Vitamins A, C & E that will nourish and protect the lips. It also has sweet  & tart blackcurrant oil that have plumping essential fatty acids. My lips felt nourished and hydrated for most part of the day!

It does transfer onto food and drink and last overall 6 hours.

What else is that there is no parabens, sulphates & phthalates in this, which I think is awesome as it's good to know ingredients your body is absorbing.

I think it's interesting to see the colour change on your lips, but other then that it's a more expensive and tacky lip balm honestly. I appreciate how nourishing and hydrating this is, but it wasn't life changing or something I was gravitating towards. I think the original version is the best as it's colourless formula goes with everything. 

Available:
From Sephora, sephora.com for $22.50 for 4.25g/0.15oz. I got mine in America from Sephora for 2.2g/0.07oz in the Sephora 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...
