Tarte Pack Your Bags 9/11 Undereye Rescue Patches

-


Packaging:
There is 4 pairs in a gold and purple suitcase styled cardboard box, reminiscent of the old shoe style doctors or medics who'd carry their equipment in these. Each pair comes in an non resealable aqua foiled sealed pouch. Inside is a tray filled with extra serum and the patches themselves. I'm quite surprised at how thick, soft, large and generically shaped the patches are.

Smell:
Marine.

Formula/ Texture:
They hold a lot of product which means more serum applies to the eye area. The generic shape means there's no right way for it to sit on the face meaning, application is easy and quick. The fact the ends are large, cover more of the eye area.

They are cooling, depuffing and hydrating, really giving a relief for tired eyes. I apply them and leave on for at least 10 mins and rub in whatever left over serum is remaining. These don't slide around the face at all, a nice suction. The serum isn't sticky or tacky at all. My eyes look plump and hydrating and smooth.

I really do like this and can get 3 uses out of the one pair, there's that much serum and the patches are well made.

The formula is vegan friendly, hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested which means this will be suited for the majority of skin types.

Available:
Only from tartecosmetics.com for $36 for 30g/1.0oz. This mini is 6.4g/ 0.22oz and from the Tarte Limited Edition Hydration Vacation Skincare Travel Set.

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...
