Brunette Beauty

Packaging: This is the standard lipliner packaging from MAC. It's a typical pencil with a long opaque cap. The pencil tip is fine and pointed. The end has the shade indicator which is a little off the actual colour. The whole packaging is the holiday edition 'MAC Magic Of The Night' of metallic, chrome purple with black text on the pencil. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: Nightmoth - Muted rose pink. Full pigmentation with a matte finish. Available in the permanent range of 26 shades. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin, waxy but slightly stiff consistency. It glides on well with very little tugging or skipping at all. It feels lightweight and comfortable on the lips. It is easily removed with a basic makeup wipe. I didn't experience any bleeding or feathering but I did use a clear/transparent lip liner. The top layer did transfer a bit onto food and drink. I don't find the formula to be hydrating or drying but as the formula is a littler...

Packaging: Poke dot mint or pastel pink box with a plastic window on the top that fully shows the lash style inside. The window has a gold foil trim with a matching HOL logo. The box does give the lash brand a more higher end feel to it. The insert that the lashes are on are a standard white plastic. Formula/ Texture: These lashes are handmade which I think gives a more natural blend with your natural lashes. They feel very soft to the touch with a flexible band. All of them are lightweight in the hand and on the eyes. The mini collection is a smaller reduction in lash and band size from 4 of their best feeling lashes. The differences between them are below; Boudoir Mini (top right pink box) Overall dense and multi direction layered & length, full lashes that are longer, denser in the centre. They open up the eyes with the longer centre while providing more volume to the lashes. The lash band is thicker with no obvious gaps or sections on it for the lashes...

Packaging: Multi hued cardboard box with the black 'Trolls' logo. The neon pink plastic compact has a button release lid, turquoise Troll doll silhouette and matching black 'Trolls' logo. Inside the slightly domed lid is a smaller sized recessed mirror. The powder pan is light pink with an engraved Troll doll outline. Overall the packing feels slightly weighted and a little bit wasted with the domed lid. Smell/Taste: Sunscreen/SPF. Colour: Play It Proper - pastel pink with slight silver shimmer and cool undertones. Satin finish with sheer pigmentation. Available in 2 shades. Formula/ Texture: This is a dry powder but not chalky. It is easily picked up and applied with a light hand on a brush. It's easily removed with a basic makeup wipe. The effect this beauty powder gives reminds me so much of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders in that it gives a sheer veil of colour/glow to the skin. The Hourglass has a more velvety texture wi...

Packaging: Short and wide glass jar with a metallic silver elongated triangle lid with fine criss-cross line design and groves on it. The thicker portion of the lid that screws onto the pot contains pink and black text and is overall study, easy to hold, scratch resistant and has a bit of weight to it. The lid acts as a handle being so elongated with a tip and contains a small angled brush. By pulling on the top pointed part reveals the brush. Flip this over and put the smaller end of the handle back into the lid, you now have a larger base for a handle. I think this works great for such a compact size! Smell/Taste: None. Colour: #2 - light brown with warm undertones. Matte finish. Available in 6 shades. Formula/ Texture: This is a creamy, thin wax. It glides through the brows easily without tugging, skipping or pulling any hairs out. A basic makeup wipe will remove this. The spoolie works great to comb out and thus remove bit of product but doesn...

It's very lightweight and fits comfortably in the hand. It has two holes; a standard size and a bit larger one that easily fits pencil the width of a NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil for example.

Formula/ Texture: This is a clear gel. It's easily and evenly applied using the included soft touch applicator and has a very short drying period. This is a leave-in treatment so there's no need to remove it. The whole point of this is to contain the brows to promote new growth and prime them for makeup. The formula is nutrient rich with keratin and soy proteins to give a thicker, fuller and heather looking  brow. I don't really see my ...
