I recently had the pleasure of trialling Du'it Tough Body Lotion as part of the Beauty Heaven trial team, and I was eager to dive in, given my positive experiences with Du'it's hand cream in the past. Right off the bat, the pump bottle design caught my eye for its practicality, making it straightforward to dispense the product. However, a word of caution: the lotion's light texture means a too-enthusiastic pump can lead to unexpected splurts, so gentle pressure is key. Du'it markets this body lotion as super hydrating, with visible effect promised within just a day. Following their advice, I applied it right after my shower while my skin was still slightly damp. Yet, by morning, I found my skin still craving additional moisture. My dry skin seemed to need more than what this lotion could offer throughout the night. This meant I had to reapply the lotion again in the morning. For those with normal skin types, I believe this lotion could meet their skin hydration needs. But for someone like me navigating the challenges of dry (and flaky) skin, it may fall just short of the deep, lasting hydration we're after. Overall, Du'it Tough Body Lotion is a commendable product with its quick-absorbing formula and user-friendly packaging. My wish? For an extra dose of moisture to truly live up to its 'super hydrating' claim.

Alas part of the trial team I received this body butter along with the Eucalyptus Mint body butter. I've been using them for the last week or two and I like to use this one i the morning as the citrus scent is very refreshing and energizing. I like how it contains essential oils for the citrus scent. like the mint version, The body butter itself isn't too thick of consistency but it isn't watery or runny. I only need to use a little dollop and it goes a long way. It is very moisturising. Usually my legs are dry, flakey and scaly. But after using this moisturiser it feels with smooth and moisturiser. The only reason I've reduced a star is due to the ingredients - the body butter contains parabens and mineral oil which I usually try to avoid. Other than that it's a great product. Works well and is affordable.

Alas part of the trial team I received this body butter along with the Sweet Citrus body butter. I've been using them for the last week or two and I like to use the eucalyptus mint body butter at night after I have my shower just before going to bed. I'm not sure if the scent is actually eucalyptus mint scent but it is nice and soothing. some may find it a bit too strong and overpowering but I didn't mind it. The body butter itself isn't too thick of consistency but it isn't watery or runny. I only need to use a little dollop and it goes a long way. It is very moisturising. Usually my legs are dry, flakey and scaly. But after using this moisturiser it feels with smooth and moisturiser.

This primer is silicone free and contains moisturising ingredients such as Hyaluronic acid, Vitamin E and Olive fruit oil. It comes in a sleek squeeze tube which dispenses the products easily. I found you don't need much of the product and a little bit will go a long way. I apply this primer after my moisturiser because I do have very dry skin, but if you have oily or normal skin you might be able to get away without applying moisturiser. I like that it contains hyaluronic acid which makes the primer hydrating. The primer is lightweight and has some shimmer to it giving my skin a glow. It worked well with the Nude by Nature mineral foundation as well as liquid foundation. I don't usually use primers but I quite like this one especially the shimmery glow that it gives, plus it is hydrating too and will make my make up last a bit longer.

I received the Nude by Nature Setting spray in the Natural Beauty Month trial box. I like setting sprays as it extends the wear of my make up. I usually just use toner sprays after make up regardless if they were setting spray or not as I find it hydrating. The Nude by Nature setting spray comes in a 60ml plastic bottle. I found that I have to shake the bottle to mix the formula before spraying it. The spray pump spritz the right amount of product. There is a bit of a scent but it's light and I didn't mind it at all. I spritz the setting spray all over my face - just one to two pumps is sufficient and it leaves my skin hydrated and sets the makeup. The bottle is small enough to put in a handbag and it can be used throughout the day to prolong the wear of your makeup. Overall it's a great product - I do find the $20 price tag is a bit steep but it's not too bad.

I got this lip shine in the Natural Beauty Month Trial Box and I got the colour 050 Pucker. It's a red berry colour. I love Burt bees products and I love that their products are natural. This lip shine is formulated without parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, SLS, silicones, talc, synthetic fragrances and dyes. And I like that the brand do not test on animals. The lip shine is basically a lip gloss. It comes in a little squeeze tube and you just apply it directly on the lips - there isn't a separate applicator. You only need a little bit as if you use too much it gets very slippery and just doesn't feel great. I did find the lip shine to be hydrating but because it is a lip gloss it doesn't last long and when I drink it leaves residues and transfers on my cups. The colour is sheer and is quite nice but it is very subtle. It also has a soft fruity scent. It's a lovely product but I'm not a big fan of gloss as hair and flyaways stick on your lips and that it transfers everywhere.

I got the Weleda 24h Hydrating Facial cream in the natural beauty month trial box. I have heard good things about the brand Weleda but have not tried their products before so I was excited to try this one out. Weleda 24h Hydrating Facial Cream claims to be suitable for normal and dry skin and provides immediate moisture for up to 24 hours in a light-touch, refreshing and non-greasy texture. The ingredients contains shea butter, safflower oil, aloe vera and prickly pear extract. The cream comes in a small 30ml squeeze tube. The consistency of the cream is not too thick and is quite lightweight. It applies easily on the skin and you don't need a whole lot to apply all over your face. It has some scent to it which is quite nice but not overpowering and looking at the ingredients it does contain fragrance (Perfume) however it is from natural essential oils and/or plant extracts. My skin feels hydrated and moisturised after applying this moisturiser. I can't claim the 24 hour hydration as I cleanse my skin twice daily but when I do apply this at night time I wake up with soft supple skin. My skin didn't feel greasy too. It's also fine to use during the day time below makeup as it's not heavy. I apply this on top of my serums and oils and still don't find it heavy. Overall it's a great natural moisturiser to include In your skincare routine.

I received the Dermal Therapy Sensitive Skin Lotion as part of the Natural Beauty Month Box Trial Team. I do get sensitive skin from time and my skin is also usually very dry due to the cold winter weather so I was excited to try out this product. I've been using this product daily after coming out of the shower. The lotion comes in a pump bottle and it was easy to dispense the product. The consistency of the lotion itself is thick but it is easily applied all over the body. It doesn't contain any sulphates, parabens, artificial colours and fragrances. It is supposed to be unscented but there is a slight smell to it but I can't really describe what it is. It absorbs quite quickly into the skin and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. On the bottle it claims that it increases skin hydration by 50%. I'm not sure if I could say that this claim is true but my skin do feel hydrated. I still do need to apply this lotion daily otherwise my skin is dry. Overall this is a good everyday lotion.

Glow lab is another natural brand that I love and I've used some of their products before including their rosehip oil and night cream. Like I mentioned in another review for the vitamin C serum which I got along with this Retinol booster oil in the trial team box, I was cautious in layering this products together at the same time because of the reduced effectiveness. So because of this I've been using the booster oil at night and the vit C serum in the morning. Even though technically this is not retinol, I wanted to play it safe. I initially thought it contained Retinol as the product name suggest but upon reading the package the key ingredient in this oil is Bakuchiol. I haven't heard of this ingredient before. It's a naturally derived ingredient and is meant to mimic the effects of Retinol. The product description on the website claims that *Bakuchiol (Sytenol® A) has been clinically proven to reduce the depth of wrinkles by up to 31% after 12 weeks. It also says that the oil is boosted with Beracare BBA™ to increase hyaluronic acid levels to deeply hydrate. The oil doesn't feel as oily like other products. It's very light in consistency and absorbs very quickly into my skin. I didn't get any skin irritations which I usually get worried about when using retinol. Having been using this oil in the evening over the past 2 weeks I haven't seen any significant results in reducing wrinkles but I have found this oil does hydrate my skin and I wake up in the morning with my skin still hydrated and soft. I'll definitely keep using this oil in the evening for longer period of time and hopefully see some results and it's another great addition to my skincare routine.

I like Essano products and have used some of their products before but I haven't tried this Vitamin C serum . I was surprised when I opened the bottle to find a white thick milky serum. I was expecting more of a clear serum or oil like serum. I have used some Vitamin C products before but stopped because I haven't seen significant results and because I have to be careful mixing it with other products. As I also got the Retinol booster oil in the trial team box and these products should not be layered and applied with each other, because of the reduced effectiveness. So because of this I've been using this serum in the morning and the retinol at night. Even though it is said that the formula is ph Balanced and won't react with other serums I wanted to play it safe. This serum comes in a dropper bottle and it's easy to apply, I also found that it doesn't pill on the skin like some vitamin C products I've previously tried. The serum has quite a bit of fragrance to it - very citrusy which I don't mind but it dissipates after a while. I also like that it's mostly natural ingredients and doesn't contain sulphates, silicones or mineral oil. At $20 it's also quite affordable. The product website claims that this serum helps to prevent skin-ageing while boosting collagen production, proven to reduce UV-pigmentation in 56 days and remove the appearance of age spots in as little as 16 weeks. I've only been using it over 2 weeks so I can't say that I've seen any results. I do find this serum quite hydrating for my skin but haven't seen any results in brightening my skin or reducing appearance of age spots and pigmentation. Nevertheless, I will definitely. continue using this products to see if it helps over prolonged use of the serum and it's a nice addition to my skincare routine. The Essano Advanced Brightening Vitamin C serum was a pleasant surprise in the Natural Beauty Month box! I have only tried a few Vitamin C serums, and generally don't notice a massive difference, mainly because I know that Vitamin C is notoriously difficult to formulate with, so not all serums are created equally and may not be as effective as the bottle states.
