A product that deserves a place in every beauty's bathroom. This balm cleanser ticks all the boxes. Removes heavy makeup? Check. Fragrance-free for sensitive skin? Check. Doesn't clog acne-prone skin? Check. Emulsifies for easy removal? Check. This silky balm turns to an oil when massaged into the skin, and is again transformed with the addition of water into an easily removed milk. This bad boy will get rid of the most stubborn of makeup, while still being gentle on the skin and not leaving it feeling stripped. It's a great cleanser for all skin types, and is my go-to when I want a no-brainer,no-frills cleanser that will get the job done, no matter how my skin is feeling in any given day. A product that I will return to time and again.

After getting a pixie-cut and wanting a more low-maintenance hairstyle, I decided to embrace my naturally curly hair, and after doing some research on the Curly Girl Method, I wanted to find some affordable curl-friendly products to get me started. I found that the Sukin range was suitable, and this particular product with the micellar element sounded perfect for when I wanted to wash my hair without using shampoo. I found it effective, affordable, and loved the light vanilla scent.

As someone newly embracing her curly hair, I wanted to try some affordable products that were Curly-Girl-method-friendly. I couldn't abandon shampoo completely, as I get an oily scalp, so I thought I'd give Sukin a try, as I've liked other products they make, in the past. First impression is that it smells amazing, a lovely tropical scent that is not overpowering. As all sulphate-free shampoos, it doesn't lather like you might be used to, but that doesn't bother me. It does a lovely job, smells great, and is especially good value when on sale, which is quite often.

Whilst not an unpleasant product, the Dr Lewinn's Day Cream Moisturiser is not a product for me. I have quite oily/acne-prone skin, and this fairly thick cream was a tad too rich. I also wasn't very keen on the fragrance, it just didn't smell quite right to me. Though I won't be using it on my face, I think it will be a fantastic non-greasy neck cream, especially for the winter months!

These feminine wipes are nice and handy to keep in the handbag, and would be ideal for hot days, or just those times when you're not your freshest. I found them to feel very cleansing and refreshing, though I wouldn't exactly call them soothing and gentle -- they are rather...bracing! Though I like that, as it adds to the fresh, cool, clean feel.

I've actually been meaning to try a leave-in conditioner for a while now, as I have a chronic illness which makes it hard to spend a lot of time standing in the shower washing and conditioning my long, thick hair. Because of this, I've taken to using 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioners, and my hair has suffered. This creamy, lightly-fragranced cream was quite moisturising in my thick hair, and didn't weigh it down, though I'm not too sure how it would fare in finer hair, but I think a small amount would probably be alright. It added a decent amount of shine to my hair, but nothing crazy. It didn't do a huge amount for my frizz, but I think the effect would have been more pronounced if I had straightened my slightly wavy hair. I like that this product is more on the natural side, and would be quite happy to use it on a regular basis.

Rosehip oil wasn't really something I was looking to add to my beauty routine, but gave it a try after receiving it in a BH prize-pack. I have to admit that I have been pleasantly surprised! The oil is a beautifully rich orange colour, and has a subtle, earthy, tea-like fragrance, which I find quite pleasant, though it might not be for everyone. After cleansing, toning, and applying my acne treatment, I pat 2-3 drops of this on my face -- so, it's extremely economical! It leaves my skin feeling moisturised and nourished, but not greasy. In the morning, after using this the night before, my skin feels so plump and fresh, I really couldn't believe that a simple oil could have such a dramatic effect. I've even noticed an improvement in the appearance of my acne-scarring and hyperpigmentation, which makes me very happy! I also love the fact that it's organic, and extremely affordable. Thanks to BH and Kosmea, I've found a fabulous new product to add to my skincare arsenal!

This best ridge filling base coat I've tried. Not only does it smooth out my nail ridges, but it helps my polish stay on longer, and improves the application and appearance of notoriously hard to work with polishes, such as neons and pastels.

I had heard about this product on Pixiwoo's YouTube channel, and thought I would give it a go before forking out for Benefit's Gimmebrow...and I'm glad I did. The only reason it's not 5 stars is there needs to be another shade inbetween the light/medium and the medium/dark. I can get away with the medium/dark if I'm careful with it. I have to say the results are worth it. It thickens and gives colour on the ends of my eyebrows where I need it. I now only need to fill in a few patches with powder, or pencil.

Great for exfoliation, or just a quick freshen-up for tired and stinky feet! One star off because I'd like more exfoliant in it. I'm a sucker for a potent scrub!
