Urban Decay 24/7 Waterline Pencil

-

Packaging:
A thin, opaque black wood pencil with a matching lid and matte velvet end where the corresponding coloured shade starts it's gradient from. I like the coloured end and it makes the pencil more easily recognisable. The pencil itself features silver text. The nib is quite short with a soft tip and easy to sharpen.

Smell/Taste:
None.

Colour:
Walk Of Shame - Nude. Demi matte finish with medium pigmentation.
Available in 6 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
This a creamy and slightly thick texture. It glides on the waterline and feels lightweight. It is easily removed with a basic makeup wipe.

Initially I had to run the tip over my hand to warm it up so it would stay in my waterline. I've had no issues with this since. I can get about 8hrs of wear, admittedly this is a little hard to tell as the shade is nude.

I've had no eye irritations, bleeding, transferring or it balling into the corner of my eyes (again a little hard to tell due to it's colour). I haven't had the tip break either which I'm expecting it to from it's formula.

It is free from mineral oil, paraffin and preservatives so no nasty stuff is going hear your sight.
I have nothing bad to say about this or anything to watch out for. I'm a quarter of the day through the pencil and I do thoroughly enjoy it and the overall awake look it gives me. I'd be tempted to try a more darker shade to really test the waterline longevity.

Available:
From Mecca Cosmetica, mecca.com.au for $33 for 1.2g/0.04oz.

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...
