I was curious when I received the Remington AIRvive™ 2 in 1 Air Styler. At first I thought it was another hair straightener but then when I read the details, I realized I was wrong. This is a 2 in 1 hair styling tool that allows damp hair to be dried and smoothed in one go as well as straightening and refreshing dry hair. The concept was great (perfect when travelling to save luggage space), the color is gorgeous and the extended cord is a winner. Unfortunately, whilst my hair is thin and ideal for this tool, I found it took way too long for my damp hair to dry compared to my dyson blow dryer. My hair is also naturally on the straight side, so this tool did not visually straighten my hair more than normal. I did try to curl my hair using the Finishing Mode but found this to be too big to create decent curls – perhaps I need more practice at it first before writing this off.

________________________________________ I received Thanks To Nature’s Creamy Body Wash Sweet Almond & Vanilla as part of a travel pack. The body wash has a lovely nutty-vanilla scent that helps to soothe and offer a calming effort whilst showering. The packaging states the body wash has a creamy texture, although I found it to be runnier than other body washes used. This was easy to lather and cleanse my skin. My skin felt nourished and silky smooth afterwards, with no residue feeling. I’m typically a soap user but when travelling, these travel sized packs are perfect! This is slightly on the pricier end so I only would look for these on sale as a special treat to myself.

After receiving Thanks To Nature’s Hydrate & Nourish Shampoo in a travel pack and trialing over several days, I have enjoyed using this shampoo in my hair care routine. I ended up using a little bit more than I normally did to achieve the same lather as other shampoos, but the results still speak for itself. My hair felt silky, hydrated and healthy afterwards, and the delicate fresh scent was also very pleasant as it lingered on throughout the day. It was also great to read that the formulation is sulphate and paraben free, which is better for our hair. It is slightly on the pricier side so this would be a premium treat or to wait for sales.. now I wished we received the full-sized bottle to trial!

After receiving Thanks To Nature’s Hydrate & Nourish Conditioner in a travel pack and trialing over several days, I have enjoyed using this condition in my hair care routine. The conditioner is a bit runnier than what I’ve used in the past, but it still delivered rich hydration without weighing my hair down. Formulated with Abyssinian seed oil and shea butter, this conditioner did what it claimed to do – moisturize my hair, smooth out tangles and improve hair shine. My hair felt soft, strong and healthy afterwards, and the delicate fresh scent was also very pleasant. I only wish we had a bigger product to trail!

I’ve trialed several Dermal Therapy products before and loved how my skin or lips felt after each use, so I was excited to receive the Lip Balm Original to trial. This was an extremely effective lip balm for dry and chapped lips. The formula is ultra moisturizing and offered long-lasting hydration whenever I applied it to my lips. It glided on smoothly, and whilst there is a slight greasy feeling, my lips looked hydrated, which is what I wanted. This is perfect especially in summer, as there is a cool and minty scent and my lips felt a refreshing sensation, probably due to the menthol and camphor, so if you don’t like that cool tingle, this might not be suited for you.

I’ve trialed several Dermal Therapy products before and loved how my skin or lips felt after each use, so I was intrigued by their Overnight Face Repair Cream. This came in a tube and was easy to apply. I found a small amount was sufficient to cover the face, which I applied at night, and I found it to be a deeply nourishing treatment that worked wonders whilst I slept. The formula is hydrating and absorbed well without leaving my face with a greasy feeling. My skin felt soft in the morning, which I was not surprised to see, given this cream contains ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, peptides and ceramides. There is also a subtle scent, which I did not mind.

I’ve been a huge fan of Burt's Bees lip balms, so I was excited to trial their Tinted Lip Balm – Red Dahlia. I found this to be a perfect blend of hydration and subtle color. It glided on smoothly and left my lips feeling soft and moisturized with a natural-looking tint that enhanced my natural lip color. With ingredients like shea butter and botanical waxes, this was rather lightweight and comfortable to apply without being sticky. The color is sheer and subtle, so it is ideal for when I want just a tiny hint of color without applying a full face of makeup. Happy to have this in in my bag for everyday use!

________________________________________ I have always used powdered blush so getting to trial Nude by Nature Dewy Serum Blush Drops was an experience that I was extremely excited about. I loved the concept of a fresh, radiant flush with a lightweight, buildable formula that blends effortlessly into the skin. The serum texture felt hydrating and smooth, giving my cheeks a natural-looking glow without feeling sticky or heavy. The best way to apply was to squeeze 1-2 drops on my hand and then to dab once on each cheek before spreading with a brush or fingers. If you want a bolder look, then you can slowly build up, but I found one dab was enough to enhance my complexion with a healthy, dewy finish. A great choice for those who love a minimalist, skin-loving makeup routine with a touch of luminosity.

DU’IT Tough Hands is a lifesaver for dry, cracked hands. This intensive hand cream delivered fast results, noticeably improving skin texture and hydration. The cream forms a protective barrier, helping to prevent further damage while restoring softness. The cream comes in a massive tube and only a small amount was needed for my hands to absorb the non-greasy formula quickly - perfect for daily use without leaving residue. There is no fragrance, so it is suitable for those with sensitive noses. With consistent use, my hands felt smoother, stronger, and healthier .this tube will last me quite a while.

Clinique was one of the first skincare brand I ever used and I changed brands as it had become too heavy and oily for my skin. I have not returned until I was offered Clinique’s Moisture Surge™ Active Glow Serum to trial and I was quite optimistic for this serum that is a game-changer for dull, dehydrated skin. The serum came in an adorable pink bottle with a stopper and I found the lightweight, gel-like texture absorbed quickly into my face, delivering an instant boost of hydration and a radiant glow. I noticed a fresher, more luminous look after just a few uses, which I assumed was due to ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to plump and smooth the skin. It layered beautifully under my moisturizer and makeup. Definitely will consider keeping in the skincare routine for a healthy dewy look!
