Maybelline Creamy Matte Lipsticks

-
 

Packaging:


Matte frosted brown plastic square casing with a silver tube. The twist up mechanism is easy to use and no problems with it. This is typical packing of Maybelline lipstick ranges. The bullet is a standard slanted tip. It does feel cheap and not as substantial compared to other brands.

Smell/Taste:
Vanilla.

Colour:
655 Darling Nude - warm beige with warm undertones.
670 Ravishing Rose - light pink with cool undertones.
665 Lust For Blush - mid tone pink with warm undertones.
695 Divine Wine - light burgundy with red and cool undertones.

All have full pigmentation with a mate finish. Builable colour. Available in 8 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a thick and creamy consistency. It glides on and is so lightweight and comfortable on the lips. They are easily removed with a basic makeup wipe. The 'deeper shades' leave a slight stain behind.

Theres no feathering, creasing, bleeding or filling into lip lines. They don't ball up if too much product is applied but extra layers can be felt. It will cling onto dry lips so do exfoliate if this is a problem for you. It does transfer as expected. Longevity is a generous 4-5 hours. Even though it is quite thin, I do found my lips to be a little hydrated once this is taken off. They are neither drying nor moisturising. 

This are my first dip into matte finish and they are so creamy and comfortable to wear, I can't believe it. They aren't dull colours either with a little bit of the whole colour spectrum which I love cause they aren't going to wash me out.

Available:
From Priceline, discount chemists and pharmacies for $14 4.2g/0.15oz.

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...

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...
