Tarte So Fine Micro EyeLiner

-

Packaging:
Very slim round black pen with gold foil text and a blue and purple water marble lid. The lid clicks on very securely but isn't spring loaded. The sponge nib is so very fine, short and stiff. The gold felt etc does wear off with continued use.

Smell/Taste:
None.

Colour:
Very Black - black. Matte finish and very pigmented.
Available in 1 shade.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a thin, smooth liquid. The short length of the nib does make it easier to apply as it's not as flexible so it's not wobbling or flicking up product onto the lid. It does ensure a closer line to the lash line. There is no skipping or fading during application either. It does take a specialised makeup remove to fully remove.

It is waterproof and ophthalmologist tested with Rainforest Of The Sea complex to protect and hydrate the skin. I have no itchiness or redness when using this or after it's been removed. Unsteady hands don't show wobbles when apply easily translated onto the eye. So already those with hooded, small or asian eye shapes and prefer a thin line will fall in love with this eyeliner!

Now this stuff has legit staying power. Once it's on your eyes it's like glue and stays there and doesn't budge. No for water, sweat, watery allergic eyes - nothing. It seriously stays all day with an easy 14hour wear on me. The colour doesn't fade as is the same intensity as freshly applied.

I seriously love this liner from the intense pigment to control during application and it's longevity. This is new holy grail and suited for everyone.

Available:
Only from tartecosmetics.com (shipping to Australia), Sephora Australia sephora.com.au for $29.50 0.5ml/0.0169 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...
