I received this product to trial and I like that this is an intensive body balm as a bit goes a long way. It contains calendula and manuka oil that makes them suitable for my sensitive skin. I wasn't too sure about the hemp seed oil but surprisingly, it was quite decent and not bad-smelling. The only area of improvement that comes to mind is how to regulate the temperature for use as it was rather hard literally and physically as it was a hard block at first. In the end, I had to dig deep to get some product to trial.

I received this product to trial and this product is a God-sent for days when I do the laundry, washing of dishes and household chores and my hands and fingers become incredibly dry and painful (at times) too. This is the solution for dry hands especially when the skin has been constantly agitated by the cleaning supplies. It is good for sensitive skin too. However, if you're looking for a light hand cream, then this is not for you due to the thicker texture of the hand balm. More suitable for night use and before going to bed.

I received this product as part of the Beauty Heaven trial team. I did enjoy using this lip balm as it was very moisturizing and not overtly greasy or oily. My current lip condition is fine so I can't comment its effect on severely dry and chapped lips yet. But I will definitely try it out again when my lips get dry and chapped to witness the moisturizing and healing effects of this lip balm. The packaging is very handy and makes it easy for to carry along wherever I go to. Also love that this is a "Australian Made and Owned" product that our carbon footprint is reduced.

I have combination oily skin especially at the T-zone and my pores are usually quite prone to be clogged etc. I like this foundation for its feathery light power that makes it easy to apply. I use it together with the Nude Foundation and they are go wonderfully together. The foundation provides extra coverage and what impressed me is the blurry of my pores that my usually visible pores were not saying hi to me in the mirror for once. If I could suggest, I would suggest more shades so that I can use a lighter shade. The current shade provided is just nice when I get tanned but the shade lighter would be too light for me when my skin becomes pale during winter.

The foundation was great in texture and easy to apply/use. It provides a light to medium coverage, and one can easily put on more to build coverage or cover spots. It is quite hydrating and does a good job of evening out the complexion without clinging onto dry patches. The finish is very natural and does not look oily. It has good lasting power that survives a few hours outside even whilst under the sun. Lastly, I am very pleased that it is in a pump which makes dispensing the foundation more hygienic and prevents contamination. The only area for improvement that I can think of is to have more shades of foundation so that more people can try this.

I've been a fan of Burt's Bees products and this Soothing Aloe After Sun Soother Lip Balm is no different. It is easy to apply and a no-brainer to use. It can be used when you are going out to the beach, after a session under the sun or just in general as a regular lip balm. The coconut oil and aloe vera are a fantastic combination to soothe, hydrate and condition the lips. This packaging is simple and fuss free and I bring it everywhere with me, and can apply it on the go, whenever I want. Highly recommend.

I've been a fan of Burt's Bees for a long time and I like how this Mocha Lip Scrub is eco friendly starting from the repurposed coffee grounds to the responsibly sourced beeswax. My lips are generally fine so I can't comment on how exfoliating it is but the scrub is quite conditioning and leaves my lips feeling soft. The coffee scent smells rather delicious and has the pick me up effect. I just wish that the product comes with less packaging (the paper packaging) and it will nail the eco-friendly brief.

I first heard of this brand when I was at the States and when I saw it in Australia, I was literally grabbing bottles off the rack. Sinful Colors has an amazing range of shades that will appeal to everyone and I love many of their colours. Among them, Cinderella is similar to Illamasqua's famed Raindrops. As for their wear time, combined with a base and top coat, these polishes last very long on my nails even though I do regular cleaning at home. My Sinful Colors manicure has been on my nails for the past 2 weeks and I've only got two chips (it's because I was trying to pry something open). You get your standard tip wear which is normal but the formula is very impressive.

Okay, so this is my second review for this foundation. I gave it 4 stars for my first review because I was holding out, hoping to find something even better to call it my "holy grail" foundation. However, time has passed and I have used a lot of foundation during this time. My experience has led me to appreciate this amazing foundation even more than I did during my first review This is seriously good enough to warrant a second review plus an extra star! Let's talk about colour range. It comes in various skintones for a wide range of colours. I find that my colour will span over a couple of colours which suit me fine. I have no problem matching my colour to one of the available colours regardless of whether it is summer or winter. I find that this is usually not possible with most of the other brands that I have tried so far. So kudos to the wide colour range! As for the actual product, it is not too thick and not too runny. It is liquid enough to for easy application of the foundation without the use of any mixing mediums or moisturizer. However, it is not too runny as well (because runny foundations tend to provide sheer coverage). This foundation gives a medium coverage for the first application and the coverage can be increased to a full coverage by applying more foundation The foundation is not heavy and feels relatively lightweight. It does not irritate or cause my sensitive skin any discomfort. I like how it dries to a powder finish. Though the ladies at the counter said that it is not a must to use a setting powder since it dries down to a powder finish, people with oily skin should definitely set the foundation with a powder.

Lancome's Visionnaire is marketed as an advanced skin corrector that aims to visibly correct wrinkles and pores, imperfections like signs of UV damage and acne marks. I don't know much about how the Visionnaire works to correct wrinkles and signs of UV damage or acne marks, but I can definitely tell that the redness around my nose area has visibly lessened in terms of the redness and my pores definitely appear to be smaller than before Though it is marketed as an anti-aging product, it will work for anyone with the above concerns. I am in my early twenties and this works wonders for me. It is a staple in my skincare regime. It has pleasant scent to it though the scent is not overwhelming and it does not linger after you put it on. Packaging wise, it is stunning! It reminds me of a sapphire and it comes with a pump which is great for sanitary reasons. The price point is not pretty but it is definitely worth every penny. I feel so much more confident about my skin ever since I have used it. I have not found a product that does what the Visionnaire does for my skin.
