Model Co - Cheek + Lip Tint - Rosy Red


First and foremost, THIS IS PINK!


This is your standard easy-to-wash-off tint. 
It doesn't last long and doesn't have a great colour payoff.

I used it as a cheek tint, it was ok.

It's like looking for an embarrassed polar bear in the snow.

You don't have to go for this brand, this type of product is fairly common.

Price: 0.5/5 ($31.60 for 9.76mL)
New Name: Peony Pink
Effectiveness: 1/5

Same Product, Different Colour - Bianca J Professional - Eye Liner - BJEL34



This is a dark blue- purple eyeliner.


Blurry swatch!
It is too hard for use on an eye and isn't colour intensive enough.


It took 3-5 passes to even get that level of colour.

Physicians Formula - Bronze Booster - Light to Medium

I didn't set out to buy this, I got it for free as part of a gift bag.
Normally I wouldn't even give a product like this another look, but this has really won my heart.

Being pale, I use this as a face contour. It does have some shimmer which I normally wouldn't look for in a contour, but I quite like it.
The bronzer is in the form of pearls, soft enough to be easily used, firm enough that they don't just break up into powder immediately.

What really knocks my socks off with this product is the packaging! WOW!

It is a solid, sturdy design with a cute window at the bottom to see the bronzer pearls. 
Once open, there is a decent mirror in the lid, a flat brush and a luxurious powder puff. 
This puff is also used to keep the pearls away from the mirror.

It smells like equal parts honey and acrylic paint, but it is a very faint scent.

Swatch!

The colour payoff isn't great, but I personally like that.

Price: 2/5 (RRP $29.95 for 20g)
Scent: 2/5
Effectiveness: 4/5

RedEarth - Lip Nectar - Intensive Therapy Lip Salvation



I got this in my Bellabox, in the shade '01 Papaya'.

It is non-irritating on my sensitive lips and it is a nice enough shade (but not a great colour pay-off).

It is quite sticky and doesn't hydrate the lips much (disappointing for a 'nectar').

Palmers is always nice :)

Price: 2/5 ($22 for 10g)
Scent: 2/5
Effectiveness: 1/5
