Too Faced Born This Way Foundation

-

Packaging:
Frosted glass bottle with gold foil text. Shiny black cap enraged on the top with a gold scripture 'TF' initials with a thick gold strip separated the two haves. The pump is wide and is the same shiny black of the cap. It glides smoothly and I've not had any issues with it. It has a rectangle nib that dispenses a small amount of product that ends up being a decent amount.

Smell/Taste:
Typical foundation.

Colour:
Warm Nude - light/ medium beige with yellow undertones. Natural finish with medium to full coverage.
Available in 18 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a thick, smooth liquid. It is easily applied with a kabuki foundation brush or beauty sponge with a brush giving more coverage. It feels very lightweight on the skin. It is easily removed with a basic makeup wipe.

This is packed with amazing ingredients for the skin. It contains coconut water to hydrate. Hyaluronic Acid to promote smoother and a youthful appearance. Alpine rose to brighten with a firmer elasticity in the skin. As well as being oil free.

I've had no skin irritations white cast, breakouts, fading, transferring, product breakdown or an increase in pore size. I love this foundation, it gives that barely have makeup up on look. Of course the wrong shade will take away from this effect.

It has a longevity on my combination skin of at least 12 hours which is really good and I don't find it to cling to dry patches like I tend to find with more thicker foundations. This is my summer shade so I'll love to get a lighter shade for winter!

Available:
Only from Mecca Cosmetica, mecca.com.au for $62 for 30ml/1fl.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...

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...
