I found this mascara to be a bit 'clumpy' on my eyelashes and slow to dry, so I had to be very careful to keep my eyes wide open as it dried. When the mascara dried it certainly made my eyelashes look sensational! Great staying power too. I have sensitive eyes and it didn't irritate them either. I would recommend this mascara if you want your eyelashes to look amazing but take the time to let the first coating dry properly unless you want those good old panda eyes. I prefer a waterproof mascara so I won't be purchasing this in the future. My recommendation is for those who don't mind waiting.

I have seen visible results after using this day cream over the past 4 weeks. My skin looks a little brighter and plumper. This is a great cream to use during the current cold winter mornings as my skin does tend to get drier during this time of the year. The cream itself does have a dense texture and I was worried that it wouldn't absorb well. I am happy that it does indeed absorb very quickly and isn't greasy either. I have not had any adverse reactions either. The fragrance is light. I also like that a refill can be purchased once the jar is finished. I do wish the cream had sunscreen included though. Otherwise, very happy with the product.

I have been using this face cream over the past 4 weeks and have had no issues with my sensitive skin. The cream feels light and absorbs very quickly. My skin feels smoother and brighter. Some darker spots have faded a little as well. I have also noticed fine lines around my lips seem to have diminished a little bit as well. The jar has a complicated pump lid where you have to twist to open then push on the lid a few times to dispense the cream. About 5 to 6 pumps dispensed the right amount for me to use on my face, neck and chest.

It has taken me a while to find another foundation that I really like since my favourite foundation from another brand has been discontinued. I have found it with the Revlon Colorstay Longwear. The shade I use is Nude 200 and it is perfect for my mature skin and fair/medium complexion. I also like that it looks natural on my face and can be built up as well. It also doesn't feel like I am wearing anything on my skin as it is so light. Originally I purchased this product because it was on special and I was struggling to find another moderately priced foundation. Luckily it was a great purchase !I will continue purchasing and very happy to recommend.

My hair is very fine and not too many products have given my hair volume that lasts. That was until I was sent Grow Thicker Fuller Daily Densifier to trial. I am very pleased with the results after using this product for several weeks. My hair is certainly feeling thicker and fuller. I am also very impressed how easy it is to use as well. I just part my hair into 4 sections and squeeze through a full pipette onto each section, rub through my hair and then either dry with the hair dryer or let my hair dry naturally. I also like the light fragrance and the product is made in Australia. I will continue to purchase Grow Daily Densifier as it works!

I received the Dermal Therapy Very Dry Face Cream at the recent beautyheaven event. While I don’t have very dry skin my young adult son suffers from very dry skin around his nose so I also asked him to try it as well. He started using it on the first night after I brought it home and was very happy with the results. He is going to buy it. I have also been using the product as a day cream and am very happy with the results too. It feels lovely and light in my skin and absorbs very quickly too which is a bonus on busy mornings! Very happy to recommend.

I received the Remington Hydraluxe Pro Straightener at the recent beautyheaven market place event. Thank you again for such a generous gift to trial. I have not had very much success with hair straighteners in the past. The always seem to dry out my fine coloured hair and make it look frizzy too. So I was a little apprehensive about trying another hair straightener. Thankfully I had nothing to worry about as this straightener is excellent. What makes it different from the others I have used is the mist function. You just unclip a reservoir from the back of the straightener and fill it up with a little pipette of cool water then reattach then switch on the straightener. I like that there are different heat settings. Depending on what type of hair you have you just press the + or - button to set the appropriate temperature and there is a digital display which blinks and is steady when it is ready to use. I used the 150-170 deg setting for my hair. It only took a couple of minutes to heat up. You also have the option of using the mist function which I have done all the time as it is gentle on my hair. No more dry hair or frizzies! My hair feels soft and glossy and my faith in hair straighteners has been restored. Very happy to recommend.

I received the Dermal Therapy Very Dry Face Cream at the recent beautyheaven market place event. While I don't have very dry skin on my face, my young adult son suffers from extremely dry skin, so I asked him to trial it for my review. He started using the face cream the evening I brought it home after cleansing and he noticed a difference almost straight away. The dry skin which is usually really bad around his nose has remarkably lessened since using the face cream. No more dry patches! He has been using it morning and night. It's not greasy or thick and absorbs very quickly. I have also been using it as a day cream after cleansing. It feels lovely on my skin too. My son will definitely be purchasing from now on.

I received the Remington Air3D Plus hair dryer at the recent beautyheaven market place event. Thank you for such a generous gift to trial. I have used it a few times with trying out 2 of the 5 attachments, the wide tooth comb concentrator and the ultra slim concentrator which are perfect for the way I want to dry and style my hair. All of the 5 attachments are easy to connect to the dryer and release afterwards. I love the light weight of the hairdryer. I have fine, medium length hair and even though my hair doesn't take long to dry the hair dryer didn't feel heavy while using it compared to my older dryer. The rose gold and black colour and design is beautiful as is the way it feels in my hand when using it. There is also an extra long 3 metre cord and a strong 1800 watt motor for fast hair drying.

I received the Schick Hydro Silk Touch up razors at the recent beautyheaven market place event. I decided to use them for both eybrow shaping, removing fine hairs on my upper lip and chin and dermaplaning on my face as well. I found the razors easy to use, especially on my eyebrows with the precision cover for precise shaping. Using the razor has definitely tidied my brows, especially the stray hairs which tend to stick up untidily. When using the razor on my I moisturise first to soften my skin. My face feels smooth and soft after using the razor and the 'peach fuzz' look has certainly diminished. It is so much easier, quicker and painless using the Hydro Silk Touch Up razors compared to plucking stray hairs from my eyebrows and chin. Highly recommended
