I love this palette - the idea of having highlighter & eyeshadow with two different looks in a single palette makes traveling easy! The clear lid on the palette helps the beautiful colours stand out, rather than being hidden away. The palette has two sides - a more natural side that features four colours - beige, gold, corals and brown with a matching gold highlighter, and a dramatic side that features light pink, mauve and dark grey eyeshadows with a lavender pink highlighter. I found that the eyeshadows did not apply well dry as they did not stick well to the skin and fell out quickly. I applied them with a wet brush and primer on my eyelids and the colour was much more prominent and stunning, as well as lasted better throughout the day. I have a very light complexion, and found that both looks eyeshadows and highlighters could be used suitably or built up. The colours were beautiful and would suit a large variety of skin tones.

I really liked this eyebrow definer! The product itself is double sided, with the pigmented part of the product on one side and a fluffy brush on the other end. My eyebrows are currently neat, tidy & tinted, however I do have some small patches where they are thinner. I found the definer easy to use - it was quite hard (like a pencil), so you can create defined brow lines with it and then use the fluffy spoolie end to gentle blend the colour through the brow. The definer applies smoothly and doesn't catch on the skin. The pigment is quite strong and doesn't require a lot of pressure. The pencil is more of a triangle / diamond shape and winds up, so no sharpening required which is a definite plus! I have brunette hair, so used the medium brown shade and it looked lovely and natural against my skin.

I quite liked this mascara - it was easy to apply, had an immediate lengthening/thickening effect on my lashes and didn't clump at all. The brush is beautiful & wide and captured all my lashes (including lower waterline lashes) easily. I found the flattened section of the brush handle easy to hold without it slipping, so I could get into the small lashes in the corners of my eyes. It looked perfect on first application, however I found it consistently fell out a little during the day and caused heavy dark shadowing under my eyes. I do have oily skin and find this happens with a lot of mascaras, however this was much more prominent and for this reason I am can only give it 5 stars. I imagine those with dryer skin types to have less of an issue with the fallout onto skin. It was very easy to remove with my usual makeup remover. The tube is a really pretty colour in peachy pink to match the other products in the range and was easily recognisable in my makeup drawer. The plastic tube (not metallic) did make the mascara feel a little cheaper than mascaras that I have used in the past.

This powder again is perfectly matched in the colour range with the concealer and foundation. The powder glides nicely onto the skin, and I also brushed a little down my neck. It has a really soft finish on the skin, and I was pleased to find it didn't grab very much onto any dry spots of skin. I found it a great finish to the foundations the colours match and it really assisted in keeping the foundation set nicely on the oilier sections of my face. The powder comes with a little pad, however I much prefer to use a big kabuki brush to swirl it over my skin. The powder does tend to fall out of the compact and float onto clothing if you are too vigorous with the brush. I would have liked a mirror in the compact, but for the price point can be okay without one.

I prefer to use full coverage foundations as I have small acne flare-ups plus older pigmented scars. I also have very pale skin and find it difficult to get a foundation with great coverage that blends into my natural skin tone well. This foundation manages to tick both boxes and I'm so amazed! The pump pack is easy to use (I need about 2 pumps for my whole face) and very hygienic with its lockable lid and extra clear cap. The foundation is relatively thin, which I found very easy to blend using a foundation brush. The foundation works very well when being built up over areas I find I want more coverage (cheeks and forehead) and buffs out beautifully leaving no streaky lines on my face. It lasts around 8 hours on my oily sections, when set only with the powder, and around 12 with setting sprays. This foundation now rivals my love of Mac's studio fix liquid!

I trialed this conditioner in conjunction with the matching shampoo My one and only disappointment with the duo is that it barely smells like coconuts. I was hoping for the scent of a tropical holiday to waft from my hair! I honestly prefer the old citrus-y scent of Garnier's oily roots, dry ends shampoo and conditioner The conditioner is very moisturizing and made my hair soft , though I did find that if I used the conditioner too close to my roots that my hair felt oilier quicker than usual, however this was solved by using the conditioner lower on my hair. The conditioner is quite thick out of the bottle and I use a comb to spread it from my mid-lengths to ends I'm not sure that I would repurchase the conditioner from this range. Whilst it is a really nice conditioner, my hair being slightly oilier earlier than usual has turned me off using the duo.

I have used previously garnier's oily roots, dry ends shampoo and repurchased a few times This new coconut water range is no exception - helps to reduce the oily scalp without drying out the rest of my hair. The bottle is easy to open and easy to control the amount of shampoo The shampoo is a little slower to lather as it is sulfate / paraben free, however this does not at all effect how it cleans my hair. I did find that using a small amount first to start and then rinsing and shampooing for a second time is most effective with this shampoo, rather than using one larger amount to shampoo my hair The scent isn't a heavy coconut scent - it is very light and subtle, not at all overpowering. I would definitely like to see it with more of a tropical holiday coconut scent added. I would repurchase this for the price to use a few times a week alongside my usual colour treatment shampoo.

This product has my vote due to the moisturising factor (despite oily skin, my lips are permanently dry and cracking). I absolutely adore the fact that there is a product where I can have a bit of a pretty tint on my lips to brighten my pale skin as many balms leave a white film. I used the 102 'Gossip' and 110 'Can't sit with us' shades as a base for another couple of similar coloured lippies and it worked really well! The range of colours is beautiful - the sheer ones tend to last around 2-3 hours colour wise (unless you eat or get stuck into a coffee!) and the bold shade 4-5 hours. The moisturising feel lasts beyond the colour, which is nice - though I would love the colour payoff to make it to lunch time! As the sheer are so easy to use it's easy to pop it on a few times a day just like you would a normal balm, so colour staying all day isn't a huge concern At $14.95, they are a very affordable lip option, especially if you need the moisturising factor (which I definitely do!) The tubes themselves are very distinctive with a translucent coloured cap to tell them apart. They are bigger than lipsticks, making them very easy to apply in the bathroom or on the run Overall, 4 out of 5 stars - would just like to see the sheer balms have the staying time of the bold colours!

I must start by saying that I received this product as part of the BH trial team. I love the idea of 3-in-1 products, however this one didn't quite live up to expectations. The tube is easy to use and control as it is rather thick, meaning you don't have product spilling out the second you open the lid. I can't really tell the difference between this as a scrub and cleanser, and no matter how I applied it I thought of it as a face scrub. It hasn't helped to unclog pores (especially ones near my mouth and nose), doesn't reduce oil production nor stop new blemishes from appearing. I do like it as a mask function and leaves my skin feeling super soft after using as a mask. It dries almost crackly and my face does feel softer and less oily after use, however it doesn't help bring blackheads to the surface or to reduce the number of breakouts by reducing oil. This product loses points from me because it's making claims it can't uphold. Would recommend to people who have normal or low combination skin not prone to many breakouts or congestion.

Wow. Never have I ever met a foundation that wears as well as this one. I work in hospitality, so am constantly around heat, steam, cold, freezing cold and everything in between. I work days up to 12 hours, and struggle to find anything that stays on my skin as well as this. I wouldn't say that this lasts 25 hours - a solid 9-10 before it starts fading on it's own, 12-14 if I use a finishing spray. It applies smoothly on it's own, but I use primer over certain sections of my face that are lumpy or dry. I would call this a full coverage foundation that can be built up where you need it. I have a fair few red angry acne scars and a couple of active pimples, and a combination of this and concealer gives my skin a perfect smooth cover. My skin is normal, slightly on the oily side occasionally. This is smooth and thick enough to cover bumps but easy enough to spread with warm fingers. I apply one layer all over, then a second layer where my skin is redder. The pump bottle is really hygienic, and one pump is pretty perfect for my entire face. I also love the SPF factor - quite high compared to most foundations, so perfect for summer. The colour matches my pale skin perfectly, but adds a little dewy glow on top of it. I've had a few compliments while wearing this that my skin is amazing, so that inspires me to repurchase! Love love love - that is all I can say.
