Nivea Men's Sensitive Post Shave Balm

-

Packaging:
White opaque heavy glass bottle with a wide rectangle screw cap. The opening is quite large but helps as the product is a thicker consistency. The bottle features a navy, white and green packaging giving it a masculine and hint of freshness. The bottle itself is more wide then thick and fits nicely in the palm of your hand. I did find the size to be a bit large and awkward to store on my vanity but no issues in my bathroom cupboard.

Smell/Taste:
Masculine cologne.

Colour:
White in high density but absorbs clear.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a thick gel lotion. It is lightweight and absorbs easily into the skin. Too much product will take a little longer to absorb too. There's no issues in application either.

This has such a gentle formula contains Chamomile and Vitamin E, no alcohol and a neutral fragrance. It does moisturise and soothe the skin with a cooling effect. So overtime it'll reduce skin's sensitivity.

Now I can't comment of the reduction of skins sensitivity as I've almost finished my first bottle. I do find it a great primer to be used in a pinch. Those with dry skin may love this more as it soothes and soaks into the skin. I do think other specific primers increase makeups longevity but this isn't bad at all!

Available:
From Priceline, discount chemists and pharmacies for $11.50 100ml/3.38fl.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...
