NYX Cosmetics Tame & Frame Tinted Brow Pomade

-

Packaging:
Acrylic frosted square pot with a round black screw on lid. It's a thin & flat tube which makes storage and portability great. The lid contains simple white text elements. It feels lightweight in your hands. There is no sifter with this, but I don't think this is a product that requires this.

Smell/Taste:
None.

Colour:
#3 Brunette - light to medium brown with cool undertones. Matte finish and medium to full coverage.
Available in 5 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a very thin, smooth, cream to matte wax. It is lightweight in the brows and is best applied in small strokes using an angled brush. It is smudge and water proof once it's set after 30secs. It does require a specialised makeup remover.

This product is no joke, it lasts such a long time with the longest I've trailed it being 13 hours! Best part is you need such a small amount to cover a larger area. This doesn't ball up, flake, transfer, crumble, create a white cast or sweat off. My brows feel soft and not crispy when I use this.

With my lighter summer hair, this is a tad too dark. I can see how easily you can create sharpie brows if your note careful. The shape and definition this gives is so super easy and flawless. I do want to note that I can't comment on how long this will dry out so do make sure to screw the lid on tight to prevent this.

I'm really impressed with this pomade performance and price point. It definitely rivals that of higher end brands. I do want a lighter shade for winter and wonder if I can make this work for me then.

Available:
Only from Priceline for $13 5g/0.18oz. I got mine in America from Ulta Beauty.

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...
