I've been using this overnight revival consistently and it's really improved my nail conditions. I work with my hands, so my nails are pretty scuffed from tools, and these improved their condition after about a week or so. Not sure how it'll fair for more damaged nails, but I'm pretty happy that they improved my nail condition with fairly low effort. There's really not much of a smell to it, and it looks quite glittery in the bottle which concerned me slightly at first. But it was fine once on and it's not a smurf glitter bomb...

I've been suffering adult acne for years till I got prescribed Epiduo (adapalene + benzyl peroxide), which just put me into a cycle of dry, scaly and raw skin. This cream was thick enough to protect my skin and didn't set it aflame like other creams that says it's for sensitive skin. There was no noticeable sting when I apply this. No fragrance but skin is soothed and protected. I do think the additional zinc & copper is also helping my acne scars heal better. I would recommend this as they claim for skin that's been through a procedure or retinoids. It'll take a few days of multiple applications, but it definitely provides noticeable improvement.

I have dry cuticle skin from too much air con & lazy hand cream habits. The oil has a small dropper applicator with a very faint scent that's hardly noticeable. One drop goes a long way! I did one on my thumb and managed to spread the love to my other fingers with some to spare. Nail and surrounding skin were softened instantly and absorbed within 5 minutes or so. I applied it, rubbed it in and continued working without any oil marks on my keyboard. I'll say this is amazing to apply throughout the day at the desk without much fuss since it's unintrusive (super low scent). This will allow it to sink in while your hands are doing pretty low impact work. After continuous use, my nails have a nice healthy shine with less dry skin around the beds.

To start, my nails are in good condition with little dullness and some dry/excess cuticle skin. I was hoping this will address the latter as it claims on the box. Bottle is 12ml with a dropper style applicator. Smell really nice like grapefruit and texture is a grainy gel. I used a small amount on each nail and gently massaged it on and around the nailbed. It added a bit of shine to the nail and cleared some of the cuticle skin, but the more stubborn skin remained. It also felt nicely moisturised afterwards. I can see it being part of a nail maintenance regime, or for nails that are in fairly good condition that needs a shine and hydration. Definitely not really suited for skin removal unless it's the thin superficial layer on the nail.

I received a sample of this in Ivory, which suited my skin fairly well (Mac NC25). It was a light consistency and my face was glowing afterwards, which I loved as I've been super tired. Initially I was very impressed the first day I work it and it lasted till end of the work day. I had tried this on my face prior to receiving the 10 day sample, but maybe I hadn't left it on enough then as I noticed by the evening and the next day I had formed these tiny little pus filled pimples. I hadn't changed my skin routine so it seems like it was the foundation that broke me out! Luckily these pimples faded within a day or two as I haven't touched the foundation again. I'm disappointed that this didn't work for me as I did like the consistency and finish of the foundation. So this is now a no-go for me, and it's unlikely I'll consider the other foundations as I tend to avoid brands that break me out.

I received these pins in the BH birthday goodie bag, and they looked so pretty that I was really excited to try them. Unforuntately, they were incredibly disappointing. The swirl design is in front of the straight section of the pin, and it makes it hard to pull apart to slide into the hair as it doesn't just slide in like a bobby pin. This wouldn't be so bad except the straight part is made of twin bars of metal side-by-side so it could split and clamp onto strands of hair. My first attempt lead me to puling out some hair as I could split the pins to take my hair out and it was a really painful experience! I'm just glad I only lost a couple of strands! I won't be trying to use these again as the pin intergrity isn't there and I like my hair where it is!

I pick these up in Coles half price sales in bulk. They are so reliable that I don't consider other mascaras unless it has raving reviews. The brush is easy to use for clump free application and reaches all the little hairs as well. It's the right size and doesn't feel like a massive brush near my eye. The formula that I use isn't waterproof, but even with my oily Asian lids, there's only minimal smudging at the end of the day. It could potentially have a bit more oomph in the volume department but I use it for an everyday office look. So to me it's sufficient for a pretty and awake day time look. It's also easy to come off with micellar water (nonwaterproof version) so I've noticed less lashes falling out compared to waterproof mascara

I am a fan of LRP, and decided to try this to amp up my sun protection. There is only one shade of the tint, and it's a little dark on my skin (NC-25) but it's not too bad as I'll just look a little tanned. There isn't a strong sunscreen smell and the texture is very fluid so it does pour out very easily. It's a good thing the opening is very small that allows you to control how much product to pour out. However, it is still easy to pour too much product so use caution! However, it lost two stars for the reason that the tint can roll up on the face, so it was a pain to apply as it would just 'rub' off like little worms. On occasion, it also rubbed off during the day and it'll just look grubby in the office as it'll be stuck along my hairline or eyebrows. It also meant that it was terrible as a makeup base- I couldn't even apply blush or powder on it to set without it looking patchy I would suggest trying the untinted version instead as I find it does sit well on the skin once I managed to rub it in and OFF (the tint) my face. It also doesn't trigger any sensitivity which is rare for SPF50+ when it's chemical based. So it's claim for sensitive skin stands true.

I hadn't considered Revlon lipsticks as I think they're extremely overpriced in Australia, but I was convinced to try the shade Teak Rose after seeing my friend wear it on her wedding day. The formula is moisturising and long lasting, it also compliments my colour tone very well. It also fades quite nicely without settling into fine lines on my lips. This is my stable for the office now and keen to collect the other colours It's also good to know that the swatch on my hand matches the colour on my lips when applied.

I received this after participating in a survey and I have to admit that I wasn't that keen to try it based purely on the packaging and it's claim of using Urea. I do have sensitive skin and was worried it would make me itch. Alas, it's been great and really helped to relieve my dry cracking skin. I've almost finished the bottle and that is generally rare. There's little smell and the pump is very convenient as it gives a good amount each time, so you can do your whole body relatively quickly.
