Brunette Beauty

Packaging: Palm sized thin round rose gold compact. There is an embossed star and 'stila' pattern on the top the  inside lid featuring an almost full sized mirror. Makes it great for portability. It does feel sturdy and durable with a large enough hinge and hole to open it. It is a typical snap shut compact. Smell: None Colour: Kitten (left) - light frosty baby pink. Slight warm undertones Kitten (right) - peach with light gold shimmer. Warm undertones. Both are buildable colours with medium pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is a smooth and finely milled powder. It's a tad powdery but not at all chalky. There is no fallout. Its easily applied with fingers or a brush. It's a diverse and multi purpose powder that can be adds a touch of glow to the skin. I brought it with the intention of using it as a cheek highlighter but it can be used as a quick eyeshadow look, blush and overall face glow or  body shimmer. I think this is g...

Smell: Fruity. Colour: Light purple. Sheer pigmentation with semi shine finish. Forumla/Texture: This is a smooth and thick balm. It's does take a few swipes for the product to emulsify. It's easily applied from the small tube though. It does transfer but doesn't bleed. I find the colour to last 3hrs. You can defiantly feel hydration to the lips with this which is nice. Availability: Sold individually in a full size but this was apart of the Frisky Six Set released September 2014.

Smell: Fresh. Colour: Light gold with brown undertones. Sheer pigmentation with shimmer finish. Forumla/Texture: This is a smooth and thin liquid. It's easily applied using the brush tip applicator and rubbed into the skin using fingers. A brush would wipe away most of the product thus sheering this out. This gives a nice golden glow to the cheeks. It's not very icy which I like and it's something different for me. It look great with tanned skin, giving it this natural radiance effect. Those with paler skin tones might want to give this a miss as it might look unnatural. While it's a nice highlighter, it's also pretty affordable too.

Smell: Fresh. Colour: Light pink. Sheer pigmentation. Forumla/Texture: This is a smooth and thin cream. It's easily applied using the doe foot applicator and rubbed into the skin using fingers. A brush would wipe away most of the product. The purpose of this is to brighten up underneath the eyes and make them appear more lifted. I can defiantly notice a difference with this, when it's used. It's subtle enough that looks natural. It performs the same over a primer as on bare skin. I actually quite like this. Availability: Sold individually in a full size but this was apart of the Frisky Six Set released September 2014.

Smell: Fresh. Colour: Light purple. Sheer pigmentation. Forumla/Texture: This is a runny and thin liquid. It's easily applied using the brush tip applicator and rubbed into the skin using fingers. A brush would help sheer out the colour creating a softer colour. These tints last literally all day, I'm talking 16hrs+. They do stain the skin, especially if a lot is applied. A good makeup remover and cleanser will get rid of this. Again following the Pantone Colour of the Year this Radiant Orchard shade is a great spring shade that'll suit all skin tones.

Packaging: Thinnest of 6 deluxe sized products comes in a simple cardboard and plastic box. Nothing fancy which is fine with me as the inside is the most important thing.   I think kits and value packs are the best way to do this as you get a taste of the product /s without forking out the money for the full sized product. This kit contains 4 products I have never tried before. The They're Real Mascara is one of my all time favourite  mascaras so I don't mind having one for when I travel. The Sugarbomb box powder isn't one of my favourite from the Benefit line but one of my favs from these powders. I am interested to see if the formula has changed though. The set contains; They're Real Mascara #black   review here Sugarbomb Box o' Powder       review here SunBeam Cheek Tint                 review here Lollibalm                     ...

Packaging: Short & stubby black square casing. The lid portion is half the length of the casing with 'Smashbox' in silver text on the casing. The twist up mechanism is smooth with no problems. The bullet is circular with a slanted tip. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: Pretty Social - rosy milky pink with cool undertones. Opaque pigmentation and buildable colour. Formula/ Texture: It's a smooth thin creamy consistency. It's lightweight and glides easily onto the lips. The cream texture clings to dry skin so make sure to exfoliate before use. What I have also found is that the creamy nature of the bullet doesn't really hold it strongly in the tube. With a heavy swatch, the bullet may break off. The same care needs to be taken in leaving this in a handbag or car on a mild warm day - it'll be a hot mess. So only wind up the bullet for as much as you need. The longevity is short due to the creamy texture, getting 3hrs in. While I f...
