Urban Decay Eyeshadow 'Lounge'

-

Packaging:
Shiny gunmetal compact with a snap closure. The lid features a circle window to see the shade  inside, 'UD' symbol in the middle which is surrounded by a fishnet pattern and 'Urban Decay' text and slogan. The back of the compact has a sticker closely matching the shade inside. The powder pan spreads very close to the edge which means very little package wastage.

Smell/Taste:
None.

Colour:
Lounge - red brick duo chrome with green and brown. Satin finish with intense pigmentation.
Available in 86 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a fine, smooth and buttery formula. It's easy to apply and blend out. It's lightweight on the eye and is easily removed with a basic makeup wipe.

I don't have any fallout with this shade but I do make sure to apply a little bit at a time, tapping off excess. There is no eye irritation, creasing, fading or transfer.

I've been familiar with Urban Decay's shadow formula from their Naked & Vice Palettes but that's not always a true indicator of the standard single shadow performance and the finish this is. I can say this performances exactly as I've come to know, which is such a relief!!

I love the Urban Decay eyeshadow formula as it's a great all round with more shades that blend out beautifully. I'd love more chances to use this wet, it'll really make that colour more vibrant.

Available:
From Mecca Cosmetica, mecca.com.au for $31 for 1.5g/0.05oz. This is full sized! 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...
