Bondi Sands Fake Tan Remover

Image
Packaging: The bottle is the same shape and size and the Bondi Sands tan however the colour is completely white making it very visually obvious that it's different. The bottle has hints of gold and sky blue. Smell: None. Colour: Clear. Formula/ Texture: This light foam is a gentle non irritating or stinging formula. It applies in the same way as a foam tan; in sections with a tan mitt. It works best on tan thats 3 days old and just washes off. It's so effective at removing tan! Literally applies and then washes off, no need to rub or scrub away. I've never met a remover type product that's so effective! I highly recommend this even just to haven hand for those situations where you need to remove your tan NOW for whatever reason. Available: From Priceline, discount chemists and pharmacies for $20 for 200ml/ 7.oz.

Ardell Faux Mink Lashes

Image
Packaging: Rectangle black and white thickly stripped cardboard box with a taller backing. The front has a window showing the size and style of lash and silver foil text. This is a step up and lux looking range from their standard range and the packaging reflects this. The lashes are house on a white plastic tray. Formula/ Texture: The lashes are very soft and flexible, mimicking a natural lash. They look very real and life like to human lashes. The band is thin, flexible and very comfortable to wear. Still easy to apply. As the band is more flexible I make sure to add extra glue on the ends so they're secured in place. The styles I have are; #810 - dense multi length lash that are shorter on the inner and outer corners. #811 - dense wispy lash that a denser and longer as they reach the outer corner. #812 - light and wispy lash that are the longest in the middle. Available: From Priceline, discount chemists and pharmacies for $13-$20.

EcoTools Perfecting Blender Duo

Image
Packaging: 2 different sized sponges housed in a clear plastic package with a window cut out of the recycled looking cardboard so the sponges are visible. The back contains info on the uses of the sponges. Large Base Blender Use to build coverage. The flat surface helps with larger area. The round base bends lines and the wedge like tip blends precise straight lines. Mini Detail Blender Use for precise coverage. It has a firmer feel, maybe due to the size. They can be used wet or dry but best results are with them wet. The unique EcoFoam Technology means 70% of the sponge is used by latex free, plant based materials and 100% vegan. It's a great alternative to other sponges available. I personally have no use for the mini sponge as the wedge tip on the large gets into small areas fine. This flat tip would be very handy to for the baking technique. Ive tried numerous other beauty sponges and the EcoTools felt firmer on the face and took more bouncing to blend i...

Packaging: Hand length pink tinted plastic bottle that tapers in slightly at the top. The silver text and logo on the bottle match the pump of which there is a short clear lid for, The cardboard box follows the same colour scheme. The nozzle works well with a wide, long and soft spray. Smell: Floral and sweet. Colour: N/A. Formula/ Texture: This is ultra fine mist It's lightweight with no greasy or sticky feeling afterwards. You can feel the mist on the skin but it evaporates quickly but I've used more lightweight setting sprays. It can be used as a refresher or makeup perfecter to set the makeup. It gives a natural glow with a bit of radiance. The TEAOXI complex of green, red and white teas with charged caffeine water help to hydrate and awake the skin. I used it purely as a makeup setting spray and I did find it added a slight longevity to the makeup wear. It wasn't impressive enough to switch permanently from the Urban Decay All Nighter. ...
