Neutrogena Skinclearing Complexion Perfector

-

Packaging:
Flat, wide & thin squeeze tube. Opaque white tube with an orange twist off cap that corresponds to elements on the tube, with fine text. The nib is 2mm and a perfect size to control product. The plastic tube makes it portable and travel friendly.

Smell/Taste:
Zinc.

Colour:
#30 Light to Medium - medium beige with very warm undertones that almost makes this orange. Matte finish with sheer coverage.
Available in 5 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
This is very thin, smooth lotion. It feels lightweight on the skin. It's applied easily with fingers, brush or beauty sponge and takes no effort to blend into the skin. It is removed with a basic makeup wipe.

This does contain Mircoclear technology with acne medication which is Salicylic Acid. The purpose is to fight acne whilst providing coverage to disguise them to not make the situation worse. It's non greasy, doesn't oxidise, fade in patches or cause any irritations or white cast in flash photos.

It's also hypoallergenic and won't clog pores. It does slightly reduce the appearance of small pores and control shine for a few hours until the shine comes back and looks unsightly. It had a longevity of 6 hours before I started to notice it fade. The sheer is great to let your skin breathe but it's also buildable, however that's where it starts to look too orange and warm on my skin.

The thing I hate the most about this product is the colour - it's way to orange for me and I'm barely able to use it in Summer because of this. I'd suggest to go down a lighter shade if you're unsure which range you fit into.

Available:
Only from Ulta Beauty, ulta.com for US$10 for 20ml/1.fl.oz.

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...
