Buxom Full - On Lip Polish

-

Packaging:
Shiny hourglass shaped glass tube with a shiny, reflective silver handle. The applicator is a standard doe foot.

Smell/Taste:
Mint.

Colour:
Sophia - dusty pink with gold flecks. Sheer pigmentation.
Available in 99 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a thick, smooth gel. It's easy to apply but I have to dip more then once to get enough product to move across my lips which might mean the stopper is really effective. It did apply patchy with one coat as to be expected with this formula. Additional coats did even this out.

This has a high shine glass like finish which is absolutely beautiful. I love the cream pigmentation/ colour as I feel it provides more pigmentation.

It doesn't bleed but can with poor application. This shade didn't settle into my lip lines but I'm not sure if the lighter colours will just as a note. It does transfer once in contact with food and drink so reapplication is constant. I did find this last about 2 hours on me before fading, so it's not the most long wear product.

You can definitely feel this sitting on the lips but it's not irritation or uncomfortable. I didn't feel any tingle sensation but I did notice a gentle plump of my lips which is always nice. The formula is very nourishing leaving the lips soft, supple and protected thanks to the vitamin A & E.

This shade was nice to try and I did enjoy it, the lack of a longer wear is what'll prevent me from it again.

Available:
From Sephora, sephora.com for $20 for 4ml/0.14oz. Sample size is 2ml/0.07oz. I got mine in America from Sephora in 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...

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...
