Tarte CC Undereye Concealer

-

Packaging:
Small, slim, palm sized square compact with earthy toned marbling pattern and a magnetic closure. The lid also features gold foil text and a full sized mirror on the inside. The round product pan takes up most of the compact, leaving little product wastage. It's very slim and easy to store & carry.

Smell/Taste:
None.

Colour:
Light-medium - light peach. Warm undertones with a satin finish and medium coverage.
Available in 2 shades.



Formula/ Texture:
This is a creamy, thick product. It is easily applied using your ring finger so the product warms up and melts into the skin that bit more seamless. A brush or beauty sponge can be used after to blend away any harsh lines. It is easily removed with a basic makeup wipe.

The formula does contain a lot of natural ingredients known to be used by Tarte. Caffeine improves microcirculation and reduce any puffiness. Liquorice extract helps to brighten this area. Sodium hyaluronate & gqualane help retain and deliver moisture.

The CC in the name stands for Coloured Clay. There are different strands of coloured clay that help to colour correct and individual complexion concerns.

I love how smooth my underlies looked with fine lines diminished thanks for mica & silica in the formula. The coverage is buildable and surprised me at how much it did with a small amount.

My skin didn't feel or look dry which means the key ingredients are doing their job but makes the skin look plumper and more youthful. I didn't notice this visibly fading over the course of the day so the longevity is pretty good.

As this is a bit thicker those with fine lines under the eyes may find this creasing sooner then expected. I found when applying too much product this did it to me. Application of foundation on top didn't wipe any of the concealer away either. I didn't experience any skin irritations during use or once removed.

Those with intense under eye circles might not find this at all helpful. I do really enjoy this underage corrector & would highly suggest you try this out!

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...
