Brunette Beauty

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...

I received this sample as part of an online purchase and that was lucky as I have been wanting to try this out. Packaging While I can't speak whole heartily for the full sized product, this sample came in a lil packet that wasn't-sealable a bummer as the product dried out from opening. However in saying that the full sized product comes in a pump, a plus for easy dispensing and portion controlling. A minus for me is the packaging as the outside is completely covered meaning that you can't determine how much product is left by sight but by feel which can be misleading. Smell None. Colour Beige colour. Sheer  pigmentation  with a natural finish.  This became invisible and blended into my skin but I was able to see where the primer was on my eye. I do think this colour will suit everyone but the tinted product didn't provide any more colour to my eyes nor did it neutralise it. Texture/ Formula This primer is thick but has a smooth consist...

I have heard about these lashes being raved about and whenever I had a chance I would buy some and try them out.   Packaging: All the lashes are on their on plastic tray inside a triangle snap close box. There is a small cardboard that is snapped into the box that is easily removed. it has information about how to apply the lashes. The lashes have semi permanent glue that makes them attached to the curved insert of the board. I like how this turns into a storage option for the lashes. Smell:  None. Colour: Demi 105 - full volume set of long lashes that are shorter the further into the inner eye. Demi 120 - a little shorter in length and less fuller. Instead if the straight hairs, the 'lashes' are in little clumps, I guess, of lashes and then the next section is less dense of flared lashes. This makes your lashes look for volumized but more n...

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...

I was sick of the rough nail files always wearing down and becoming less effective.   What is it?: Genuine european crystal file that is hand cut into shape. This can be used in natural and artificial nails which is great versatility depending on the mood and occasion that life throws at you. When you feel the roughness of the file fade, you wash it regularly in warm soapy water and leap in the protective suede pouch (which easily identifies it).  The file can be sterilised in hot water or UV light. This file has a frosted clear tip and royal blue rounded end which you use to hold. Results: I really like this nail file. It is a staple in my nail kit. The roughness of the file lasts, I wanna say forever but I'm not going to live that long!! I am defiantly recommending glass nail files as the roughness of the file lasts and will always be the same coursness throughout the life of the file unlike the emery boards you can buy for very cheap :) Availabl...

I brought these nail strips right when they first came out and all the talk and hype started with them. Packaging: Each set comes with 16 nail polish strips in various sizes and with multiples (see above), cuticle stick, mini file & buffer as well as instructions. The actual nail strips them selves come packaged in these tight sealed packs, that I feel dry out and loose their stickiness once they are opened so when you go to use the left overs as a accent nail and such they adhesive isn't as strong as just brought which does seem like a little bit of a waste. The nail sticker has the backing, the nail colour and a clear film. I felt as though each of the varying sizes fitted well against the shape of my nails which made the look of the strips more realistic of a coat of polish. The strips themselves are flexible and thin which makes it easier to apply and buff off. Colour: 280 Blue Ice - cool tone...

Again I got this deluxe sample as a promo when I ordered the Benefit SnowWhite beauty kit. Packaging: This deluxe sample is very similar to the full sized product only by the fact the full sized product is in a larger jar and has a label on the side. Firstly this deluxe sample comes in the same packaging box as the deluxe sample. It resembles the waves and sand patterns found at the beach. This is to resemble that natural feel to the skincare line and the products used so that current consumers of Benefit's products will likely to accept this different venture. Nice and calming and relaxing emotions attached to the products (sorry marketing degree!) So the moisturiser comes in a glass jar that has a line of dots in intervals around the side of the jar. It's just a little difference that is noticeable when you hold the jar to use the product. The lid in the full size resembles a cork texture but this deluxe sample is just a beige colour ...
