The Nude By Nature Exfoliating Facial Scrub was a delight to use once or twice a week, when my face required a bit of exfoliating and a deeper cleanse. The product is a thick, grainy consistency and comes in a tube which requires it to be squeezed out. Application onto the skin was simple and needed a bit of gentle rubbing to begin the exfoliation process. The graininess of the product was not too harsh for my skin and worked well to remove dead skin and cleansed the clogged pores around my nose area especially well. After using this exfoliating scrub, I noticed my skin felt smoother and brighter too, which was a big plus for me! Unlike other exfoliating scrubs I have used in the past, this one did not leave my face feeling overly dry and stripped of any hydration, but rather added to the hydration of my skin. It felt as though my skin was well moisturised after using the scrub which was such a pleasant surprise! The exfoliating facial scrub had no strong smell, though I could smell a hint of what seemed like olive oil. I think this product will work for most skin types, even those with dry skin as this scrub will not strip the face of natural oils like other scrubs. Those with sensitive skin may find this scrub a bit too abrasive due to the abundance of small grains in the product which could have the potential to irritate the skin.

This aloe vera gel is a must have for my skincare routine - I use it after toner application. A small blob of this product can easily cover my entire face and it provides my skin with an extra bit of hydration. I have also noticed that using this aloe vera gel has decreased the appearance of hyperpigmentation and has helped with any scarring on my face, healing it quicker and fading scars faster than normal. Moreover, this product is an all rounder and can be used on any skin type which is amazing.

I love this aloe vera sleeping mask as it keeps my skin feeling soft and hydrated throughout the night. I apply this product as the last step of my night routine and as a step which locks in and provides moisture. Wen I wake up the next morning, I can feel that my skin is hydrated and really soft. I predominantly apply it to my cheek area, which is often lacking moisture due to my combination skin type, and it does its job well as a sleeping pack. I love how the formula is not oily, but is rather water-based, yet provides such great moisture.

This is a great, easy-to-apply deodorant that does its job! This deodorant helps to reduce odour and applies very easily, with a swift roll-on motion. The scent is not pungent either, which I love, and it doesn't leave my underarms feeling sticky/tacky like some other deodorants do. I use this right after I take a shower in the morning, and its effects last the whole day.

After blow drying my hair into my desired style, I often find that my hair flattens out over time. With this hairspray, however, I found that my hair stays put, just the way I styled it, for the entire day! It holds onto my hair wonderfully and has a nice scent to it too. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone experiencing trouble keeping volume in their hair.

The Jurlique Lotion was absolutely wonderful - I could not ask for more in a lotion. The lotion came in a glass-like cylindrical bottle and was dispensed in a pump type dispenser which made application quick, easy and hygienic. The lotion applied smoothly over my face, adhering to and moisturising dry patches and areas of my face. Not only was the application great, but only a minimal amount was needed to bring moisture back to my face - only one pump was needed for the whole face and neck area. The scent of the lotion was quite a strong rose scent which I adored since I'm a massive fan of the smell of rose. This scent may be too strong for those who dislike rose scents, however, after application of the lotion onto the skin, the scent lingered for a short while, then wasn't so strong after approximately two minutes. This lotion, could be used alone, by itself, however, when coupled with the Jurlique Serum, it was simply a match made in heaven, as it brought brightness back into my skin and reduced the amount of breakouts I got, while keeping my skin moisturised.

The Jurlique Serum came in a small, pink bottle which was sturdy and cute. The product can be dispensed from a pump and is light pink in colour. The texture of the serum is not sticky as it glides smoothly over the skin. It does not leave any sticky residue but instead, leaves the skin feeling soft and supple. After using the serum twice a day, every morning and night, the serum provided moisture, but it was not adequate for cold days where my skin was feeling particularly dry, especially during the cold winter days now. When used in conjunction with the Jurlique Lotion, however, my skin was left feeling fully hydrated and moisturised . The scent of the serum was a strong rose fragrance which I, personally loved, but for those who dislike rose scents or are sensitive to smells, this serum may have a scent which is a little too strong for some. After the use of this serum, I did see an improvement in the overall appearance of my skin in terms of looking less dull and having a glowing complexion.

Upon opening the Skin Active Pure Charcoal Tissue Mask, there was a slight but pleasant scent which was very mild. The tissue mask which was black in colour due to the Charcoal was drenched in a thick layer of the serum which is always a good sign of a great mask. The mask had a cooling effect on the skin and was not at all irritating to my sensitive skin. After taking the mask off after 15 minutes, I felt that my skin was truly hydrated and dry areas of my skin, such as my cheeks, were left feeling soft and moisturised. While the immediate effects of the mask were amazing, after a few hours, my skin felt a little bit tight and I could feel that the moisturising effects were slowly wearing off. Nonetheless, this mask lived up to its claims of refining the pores, as after the use of the mask, there was a visible difference of how bright my skin looked and my pores seemed as though they had gotten smaller.

The packaging of the Hydra Bomb Ultra Hydrating Glow-Boosting Tissue Mask was colourful and inviting, which made me excited to try out the product. The mask had a scent which was a fresh and light floral type smell, as consistent with the flowers on the packaging. This mask was great in providing moisture to dry areas of the skin and really hugged my skin tightly, allowing it to absorb into my skin thoroughly. On the day after using this mask, my skin looked as if it was glowing and radiant, with a natural and healthy shine which appeared once I had woken up. While the hydrating effects of this mask were great, there was nothing much that made the experience of using this mask different to other masks, which also have the ability to provide long lasting moisture, but all in all, it was a nice mask to use when the skin becomes dry and looks dull.

As someone who never usually uses Nivea products, the MicellAIR SKIN BREATHE Expert Make-up Remover lived up to its claims. The packaging was sleek and innovative and looked appealing as it had a unique shape and was a transparent black bottle. The product was quite cool in that through the bottle, the separation between the oil and water could be clearly seen, and slight shaking of the bottle would thoroughly mix the two together, creating a combination that when I rubbed my make-up off, I was left with a clean and spotless area of skin. As for my eye makeup, the removal using the MicellAIR SKIN BREATHE Expert Make-up Remover was quick and easy as only a few seconds of leaving it on my eye combined with a few gentle wipes was able to remove the product completely. The product had no particular scent which I liked as makeup removers can often smell like chemicals and my skin was left feeling the same - there was no change. This product did as it said it would, thus I have no complaints about its claims, however, it is like the many good make-up removers in stores nowadays as nothing really sets it apart from other brands.
