I was super excited to have received this to try as I am already a fan of Hada Labo's Lotion No.1 Super Hydrator. I have used it during the summer and love how lightweight it was on the skin but found that it wasn't enough for Winter so very happy I got sent the intense one to try. I dislike heavy creams even though my skin is on the drier side in winter. My skin felt hydrated without the heaviness of a rich cream. This is a really lovely lotion, it absorbs well leaving skin feeling hydrated and plump. So far there isn't anything I don't like from the brand. They know want skin needs and its super affordable too.

I love New Zealand skincare, so many great brands come out of that country! Let me start by the scent. It smells divine. Natural an luxe. It feels really nice when applying on the skin and dries down nicely without feeling sticky as any skincare with hyaluronic acid in it tends to sit on the surface of my skin and feel tacky. It's not a heavy moisturiser either. It's definitely working through the night as I love how my skin looks and feels in the morning, perfect for Winter, the hydration without the heaviness.

I received the Thanks to Nature Glam Glaze Miracle Spray with jojoba & camellia oil. Firstly, I want to say the name doesn't do the product justice. If I saw this in the shops prior to trialing it, I wouldn't give it a second glance. The word Glaze tells me super glossy look, to me that means hair that looks oily. After using this it actually made my hair look shiny and healthy but not in a glaze type of way. I think the bottle is cute and love the pink but its a little wide to hold in the hand, I have small hands and I struggled to spray on my hair with one hand so I feel that I won't reach for it as much as other products mainly due to the size of the bottle and how high up the nozzle is. Once I did spray onto the hair and blowed dried my hair, it made my hair look and feel smooth and really nice. I don't know if I would purchase it in the future. I have products that work good and if not better than this so it depends on price and how I feel when Im looking to top up on hair styling products.

Firstly, can I say how cute is the packaging? I love the rectangle look and feel much better than a small round traditional brown gel. Also, I love the idea of fluffy brows but wasn't sure if it would suit me because I have quite thick brows to start with and what I look for in a brow gel is tame tame tame! The wand was good, I do like them smaller as it would be easier to apply at the ends but it was pretty good size. Not a lot product was on the wand which is perfect as I was able to brush through the brows without any excess product being applied beyond my control. This product definitely tidied my brows and made them look really nice. I would like it to have a little hold as I do tend to touch my face throughout the day as I wear glasses and I usually mess up my brows and the hold will help keep them in place. But overall I love the way my brows looks when using this product.

These Ultra Comfy Matilda lashes are super pretty and perfect length for my age. They don't look over done or extreme. Nice and subtle. I'm not a regular lash wearer so this took me a few times to put on. I did have to cut them to fit properly but once one they were very flattering and felt comfortable to wear. It was surprising how comfortable they felt on as usually I rip them off after an hour as I don't like the feeling I have on my lids wearing false lashes. I would use these again for special occasions.

I received the Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Creamy Cleanser to trial. I love that it comes in a pump bottle which I prefer as its mess free. I have been using this most mornings alternating with the foaming cleanser. This is a really lovely cleanser, its super gentle and cleanses the skin well and doesn’t irritate the skin. It is thick enough to apply without it running all over your hands and face, and still foams up a little bit when rubbing it in. Even though I have normal skin type this would be better suited to my skin type, but personally I prefer the foaming cleanser over the creamy cleanser. They both clean equally as good but I think its just the texture of how it feels on my face and how my face feels afterwards.

I received the Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Moisturiser SPF15 to trial. I have been using this every morning routine. It is lightweight and comfortable on the skin. Skin doesn't feel sticky which is a huge plus as I normally don't like skincare with SPF as I find it sits on the skin. Skin felt comfortable all day and didn't get greasy at the end of the day. This was perfect whilst I had skin sensitivity as I couldn't use my normal skincare products. I like that it’s fragrance free too. A great all rounder moisturiser. It doesn't have any anti ageing properties so I won't say will replace this with my regular skincare but it definitely perfect for those days you spend outdoors.

I received the Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Foaming Cleanser to trial. The cleanser has a lovely consistency to it, it's thick enough to apply without it running all over your hands and face, and still foams up a little bit when rubbing it in. This was perfect whilst my skin had active eczema. I couldn't use cleansers as it would make my skin feel dry and itchy, but I did not experience this with this cleanser. Perfect as a second cleanse. It doesn't remove mascara very well but works really well and does not leave skin feeling dry or pulled or itchy. This is a great product for the entire family to use. I will definitely be buying this in the future.

I received the Blow Dry & Style Airstyler to trial. I was so excited as I haven't used a tool like this before. I already use a Remington blow dryer and this is a great addition of hair tools to own. I love that its lightweight as the tool is much bigger than a straightener or hair dryer, I expected it to be heavier. I also love that there different attachment options to suit all type of hair and lengths. I have just above my shoulder length hair and the thinner ceramic brush was perfect for what I wanted to achieve. It does take a little getting use to because its straight and not curved like a hair dryer so a little practice and patience is needed. I found that my hair was less frizzy after use. I love the finish. The tool does get quite hot, so you need to be careful. Overall an impressive hair tool. Remington always bring out the nest hair tools that are so affordable.

I received the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream as part of a trial. I love skincare, before receiving this I was using the Luminous Whip UV cream. I liked the texture of the Regenerist cream. It felt nice smooth on the skin and really hydrated my skin. I have combination skin during the warmer months and dry in Winter. I found by the end of the day my skin looked shiny. I have never experienced this with a cream before. My skin didn't feel oily but it looked it. My skin didn't feel uncomfortable either. Not sure why my skin looked so shiny so I stopped using it during the day and only used it at night and found that it worked better that way for me. it's an overall great cream but I would personally use it in winter if I was to use it during the day.
