Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil

-

Packaging:
20c coin width, short glass bottle. Heavily brown tinted glass with a pink label and black dropper lid. The dropper picks up enough product with ease and dispenses it at a controlled rate.

Smell/Taste:
None.

Colour:
Clear. Yellow in high density.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a thin, slippery oil. It did leave a slight greasy feel on my skin, more evident the more oil applied on the skin. It applies with ease but takes a little whole to absorb fully into the skin.

I felt like this gave no hydration to my skin as it didn't feel supple half an hour after application. My skin was still searching for extra hydration, but like I said before, the more thats applied doesn't help.
It does have vitamin E to nourish and fatty acids to hydrate the skin.

There was no visible reduction in wrinkles but this could be a contused use effect. It's great to use on split ends, elbows, dry cuticles!

So unless my skin is in such need of hydration, this product was only touching the bottom of the issue, not at the top on the skins surface. A thicker cream moisturiser delivers what my skin is after.

I've not had any irritations or breakouts with this. I enjoyed using this but it didn't wow me and I'm starting to think my skin isn't suited for Josie Maran skincare! Normal skin type would enjoy this - I have combination.

Available:
From Mecca Cosmetica, mecca.com.au for $16 for 15ml/0.5fl.oz.

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...
