This cream - I liked the packaging. Felt a little fancy for QV. Smells like a typical QV cream - you know the one? The texture though - love it. It's like whipped butter. So lovely and thick but doesn't feel heavy on the skin? I have oily combo skin and usually have to be pretty soaring with creams, I could use as much if this as I wanted without feeling heavy on my face which was nice. It felt hydrating and rich. It didn't break me out and I think was the perfect level of hydration for a qld winter. I am interested to see if I feel the same on our sticky summer nights but currently it's perfect. The only downside with these tubs is getting product stuck under my nails which I loathe but a spatula can fix that (and is more hygienic in my opinion too). Would re purchase!

This is a super gentle cleanser. It's aimed towards those with dry or sensitive skin. Now I have oily combo sensitive skin. I feel like it left my face feeling very hydrated but also like it left a little residue on my face. For those with dry skin I think this would be magic. It wouldn't leave you with that tight feeling some cleansers can leave you with. But I think my skin is just that touch too oily for it to be good on its own. I've been using it as part of a double cleanse routine at night and it's bene perfect. And good for a quick cleanse in the morning. It isn't lathering, I'd say it's like a cream Cleanser? For more of a clean I'd suggest washing it off with a flannel for some physical exfoliation. It's not something I would repurchase but can see how it would be good for other skin types.

I received a sample of this and it lasted me FOREVER because it's insanely concentrated. It's easy to use too much. It definitely felt very primer-esque leaving your skin with that silky kind of feeling. If you don't like that, you won't like this. But if you do - you'll love it. I did notice a difference in my skin. I have combo/oily skin. Would love to use this regularly but far too $$

Rating purely on price. Is is a good moisturiser? Definitely. It's not heavily fragranced, it's thick, sinks well into the skin and doesn't leave a greasy film. I think it would be grest if you had dry skin or lived in a dry climate. I don't have either so it's not an essential for me hence why it's not worth the $$. But if you've got the money then definitely worth the splurge.

I was so excited to trial this product. The packaging is GORGEOUS. I didn't really notice any fragrance at all. After a little confusion I found that this product is meant to be the last thing applied before moisturiser. The recommended one pump per application was perfectly (if a little generously) sized. Which would mean that the bottle should last you quite a while even with applying am & pm. I didn't find it heavy on my skin, nor did it cause me to have any break outs. I did go out and buy a good spf though since it is very expressly stated sunscreen must be used when using this product. I stopped using all other actives in my skin care so I could see just how much difference the corrector made. I took before and after pictures and while I noticed some reduction in the general redness of my skin (around my tzone) and some minimal lightening of my acne scars - I wouldn't say it was an obvious difference. In saying that, I've only used it for a month which I don't think is enough time to allow for a dramatic difference when working with colour correcting. If using this as a preventative - then brilliant. But I think with a little more time this would genuinely continue to lighten and reduce the dark spots of my scarring and even out the redness.

I genuinely loved this foundation. I am really enjoying foundations that look like my skin but better. And that's exactly what this foundation did. It's in your standard Clinique squeezy bottle. Easy to dispense without going overboard. It doesn't feel heavy or thick while wearing it. I honestly forgot I was wearing make up most of the time while wearing it. It applies easily with brush, sponge or fingers. I'd say sponge gives the sheerest coverage and brush gives the most control. I'd say it was slightly buildable coverage but not too much. Since I was using the foundation with the dark spot corrector it's hard to know what made the difference. However when wearing the foundation it clearly covered my redness without the need for concealer. (I only used concealer under my eyes and where I had quite dark spots). The only downside I can say for this foundation was that it didn't copy fantastically with my oily t-zone. I do set with powder but by the end of the day I clearly needed to touch up that t-zone. So just something to keep in mind if you have oily skin like me! It lasted fine on those non oily areas though.

I'd say this was a great drugstore primer for anyone starting out. It's silicone based so you definitely feel the 'layer' on your skin once you've applied it. It does help your foundation blend well and help conceal pores. K have large pores in my t zone so while it helps minimise them it definitely doesn't 'erase' them. It was my go to in the beginning so it's a great place to start.

I was able to trial this file as part of the trial team in conjunction with the other Pedi Pro range. It is a good sized file with 2 sides - each with a different grain. A fine side (with smooth grain) and a slightly coarser side with 'bumps' to add more texture. It can be used wet or dry. (At this stage I have only used it dry). I first used this file after using the Callous Remover. I haven't used a file of this material before and was pleasantly surprised. The bumps on the coarser side add just enough texture to make a difference without being uncomfortable. It was great to fine tune after using the Callous Remover and was easy to control how much skin was removed. I also used it lightly on my knees very comfortably. It was very easy to clean, but I always am unsure about how to hygienically store them without a cover. It was very comfortable to hold and use. An all around good file.

My initial impression of the exfoliator was that it's shape was great! It's texture was comfortable and not too harsh. This isn't something I would usually buy for myself so was excited to try. After reading the directions and uses I thought it would be perfect to remove the dry skin from my knees. Being a mum I am forever kneeling and it's definitely taken a toll on them. I think I may have expected too much of this after using the Callous Remover and seeing just how quick and effective that was. It took a more elbow grease and a lot more time to see and feel a difference. I followed the instructions to clean and wasn't prepared for it to not fully go back to it's original colour (so be warned). Which doesn't bother me at all, I know it's clean but was a surprise. *disclaimer* as yet I have only tried this product dry and you can use it wet or dry. After using it I think it's best use would be wet in the shower prior to shaving and as a general exfoliator rather than an intense spot treatment.

So I've re-named this: Callous Be Gone. It is unlike any other callous remover I have ever used. I was unprepared for how effective this was going to be. At first I thought the plastic cover that came with the remover was simply that - a cover. But it doubles as a catcher for the removed skin, which I thought was very clever. Because this removes an incredible amount of skin. I've struggled with callouses all my life and have never been able to remove them without leaving my feet shredded and over removed or barely any difference at all. This gave me excellent control with how much was or was not removed and I was able to remove - which for me is so important. The shape fit comfortably in my hand with a small indent which allowed your them to rest in just the right place. I'm not sure whether it was in my head or not but I did find it lost it's initial sharp edge quite quickly, but was still very effective after it initially dulled. It also didn't recommend how often to replace (which may be on original packaging). I would find that interesting. But it's definitely something I will repurchase.
