Brunette Beauty

Packaging: Palm sized glass jar with a shiny black lid. If you're not careful the cream can catch on the sides and cause the lid to not screw on tightly. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: Beige. This sheers out when applied and I don't see any tint being added to the skin. I do notice very fine gold shimmer particles in the cream. In sunlight you can actually see this under your eyes. Werid and different. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth cream. It feels lightweight and refreshing on the eyes. I find it to be non greasy, tacky and easily absorbed.  The formula contains glycerin, citric acid & cucumber extract - from which I know are great properties to have in boosting the cells under the skin around the eye to help with fine lines and puffiness. As with Olay's Total Effects line, this does claim to fight the 7 signs of ageing; fine lines and wrinkles (little), dark circles (no), crows feet (not applicable), puffiness (yes), uneven ...

This is a NEW product range from Olay that is targeted at acne prone skin to late 20's women. Packaging: White plastic squeeze tube with a big sturdy cap. The white is complimented with swirly blue, green and yellow theme. The opening is a little bigger then average but thats to accommodate the thicker consistency. I don't find the product to shot out, yet I can easily control how much product I want. Due to the opaque packaging I can't easily tell how much is left, though I can cut it open to get the last of the product out. Smell: Fresh soap. Colour: Metallic grey with no shimmer that doesn't transfer onto the skin. Formula/ Texture: Thick, smooth cream like consistency. It is easy to apply squirting from tube. It's oil free and dermatologically tested which is great for me. It's formulated with kaolin clay to help draw out impurities and minimise shine. I have combination skin which likes more liquid cleansers. With thi...

Packaging: Small, palm sized, glass container with black screw off lid. I think it's quite a cute size but it's a little worrying against the price. Smell: None. Colour: Clear. Formula/ Texture: This is simply a gel consistency. It's easy to apply and absorb. The formula does contain cucumber extract which adds a refreshing feel to the eyes. It is lightweight and doesn't leave any film on pillows. You do need a pea sized amount for both eyes, which worries me that this eye gel will be use dup quickly. I decided to try this for the reduction of puffy eyes and dark circles. I do believe the cooling feeling from the cucumber extract is the only reason why this works well in these areas. I find it to be quite hydrating. I wouldn't say this is an awesome eye product it does alright. For $19 I'm sure there is another eye cream that is good.

Packaging: The first thing that I notice about this cleanser is the thickness of the tube. It's different in this and in weight to a typical cleanser container. The packaging is made from a durable clear plastic throughout including the lid and pump so I wonder if this has anything to do with the weight. The opening on the pump is also quote large for a cleanser. I think this has to do with the thickness of the product itself to get an adequate amount of product out. The cleanser has a lever so to speak that pushes the product up from the bottom with each pump. This is good as you not only know no product is being wasted but can see how much is left. I think this would be good to travel with, but perhaps the initial weight when full may take up more room than expected. The ribbons of the cleanser and scrub that can been seen does make for an interesting product & unique when it sits in the bathroom cupboard. Smell:...

Packaging: Plastic tube with varying degrees of blue in the new fresh branding line by Olay with a blue cap. The opening is decent. Durable packing that can be cut open to get remaining product. Smell: Soap. Colour: White. Texture/ Formula: This is a thin, porous paste. It is oil free and I've had no irritation or breakouts. It's easy to apply from the tube and spread over the face.  My skin has a matte finish after using this. My pores look minimised, isn't over drying but still powerful enough to cleanser properly to remove any traces of make up and dirt. Basically my skin feels fresh and clean. The only thing that I can pick at it is that it does really lather like the generic face cleanser. You do get used to it, just something I noticed. Available: From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department st...

Packaging: Light blue bottle with light grey pump. Once open the pump can't close which makes it hard to travel with like is. Smell: Fresh soap. So refreshing. Colour: Tinted yellow in a large quantity but clear in normal one pump. Texture/ Formula: This liquid cleanser is oil-free which is something my skin must have so I don't get breakouts. The formula also contains salicylic acid which is the main acne fighting ingredient that helps prevent pimples and gets rid of current ones along with the dual hydroxy complex. The formula helps to eliminate excess oil and impurities that remains after removing makeup. This is lathers very well and doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy or dry after use. The way my skin feels after one use is amazing, even without my Clarisonic. It feels so clean and fresh and vibrant. I really like this cleanser, so...
