Tarte Rainforest Of The Sea Water Foundation

-

Packaging:
Thick wide frosted glass bottle. The screw off lid features a gradient gold and purple that compliments the gold text on the bottle. The lid is a dropper with a small opening that picks up and dispenses a small amount. The length of the dropper reaches almost to the bottom of the tube.

Smell/Taste:
Foundation.

Colour:
Light Sand - Light weight with yellow undertones. Satin finish and medium to full coverage.
Light coverage in 1-2 drops
Medium coverage in 3-4 drops
Available in 12 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a smooth, thicker liquid. It is best applied over well hydrated skin, otherwise dry patches are picked up with a beauty sponge or dense kabuki brush. It feels very lightweight on the skin. It's easily removed with a basic makeup wipe.

There is no oxidisation, skin irritation, breakouts or fading with this foundation. It's very hydrating with 20% of the foundation containing water so it's best to give this a good shake before use. The Rainforest Of The Sea complex helps to soften press and fine lines as well as mask redness, dark spots, never skin tone and any other skin concerns.

It gives this beautiful soft and radiant look to the skin without looked cakey or mask like. I really enjoy this formula with the longevity on my combination skin easily 12 hours. This is tested through sweat, humid and intense heat of Summer.

The only gripe I have with this is the dropper dispenser. It just doesn't seem to give me a lot and annoys me as I'm double dipping to retrieve more product which ultimately is a time waster. With no harmful ingredients clogging the skin,  I would suggest giving this one a shot.

Available:
Only from tartecosmetics.com (shipping to Australia), Sephora Australia sephora.com.au for $67.50 for 30ml/1.fl.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...
