I do not to use intimate washes, I have in the past but have found it unnecessary for my day to day as I don’t want to mess with my body’s pH levels. However, I did give the Dr Wolff's V-san Intimate Wash Lotion a try and found it to be light weight and easy to use, it was gentle and does have a scent which is a little stronger than expected but it is a clean scent (wasn’t my favourite). The formula doesn’t lather up too much so it’s fast to wash off and doesn’t linger or irritate the skin. Overall, this would be good for those looking for an intimate wash.

I had never heard of or ever seen the Plantur 39 brand before and that is such a shame as this has worked so well on my hair! I will admit I am not over 39, so I wasn’t sure how this would work for me, I have never used a hair care product with caffeine as the star ingredient and I did find that it made my hair shinier, less tangly post shower and slightly easier to manage. The only con is the 150ml size which is does not match the 250ml shampoo. As the formula is thin, I found myself squeezing out more product to try cover more of my hair. I can confirm I have bought another conditioner to use alongside the rest of my shampoo.

I had never heard of or ever seen the Plantur 39 brand before and that is such a shame as this shampoo and conditioner (review on that separately) has worked so well on my hair. I will admit I am not over 39, so I wasn’t sure how this would work on my hair but I do have hair concerns stemming from thinning. I have never used a shampoo with caffeine as the star ingredient and I like the idea around how it revitalises the hair, the formula is clear and has a really nice, clean, scent. It doesn’t lather up with too many bubbles which makes it easy to wash out. When used in conjunction with the conditioner, I found my hair was less dull and more shinier!

This John Frieda frizz ease serum is lightweight and provides a lovely shine for frizz free hair. I use the tiniest, teensiest pump as I have found with other serums in the past that too much can weigh my hair down or make it look a little greasy, so I just use a little bit, rub it into my hands and then just apply onto the top of my hair and take the rest downwards. I only ever used it on dry hair just as I’m about to head out to work and I find it has helped tame some of the frizz and flyaways.

The bioderma sensibio micellar cleansing oil is a great product to remove makeup. Simple as that. I know an oil formula seems a little odd at first, but its ability to melt my makeup off and transform itself from oil to a liquid, water texture is quite fun and scientific-y. It is really gentle, doesn’t take much to remove and it washes off really easily. I use it as a first step to remove makeup and then I follow it with my normal cleanser. A little goes a long way and I have a feeling this bottle will last a while!

The Revlon illuminance glow filter was a great product to try. I usually stick to the same foundation but it was nice to try something new. I will admit, I picked up a shade slightly too dark for my skin, however I did trial it around the house when I was working from home to see how it would feel and stay on throughout the day. Things I liked: easy to apply, the 4 in 1 benefits, the added squalane and how it felt on my skin – it was light, didn’t feel heavy or sticky and did remain glowy and dewy. What I didn’t like was the shade range, this is quite limited especially if you are in between shades and want to use it alone, however if you wanted to wear it underneath your usual foundation it would be ok.

The Lonvitalite roller was a lovely roller to trial the past few weeks. It doesn’t take much effort to use, I just popped on my serum or moisturising and rolled it along my jaw line while watching a show. I haven’t seen any visible results, but I do understand this is more of a long term thing I’ll see over time. It is nice, massaging and cooling on the skin and because of the material it is sturdy and a little heavily weighted which does make it awkward to use at first. Whilst it does feel premium and sturdy, it is on the pricier side so I would take this into consideration if you are weighing up different roller options.

The dermal therapy sensitive skin lotion is another hit from the dermal therapy team. The formula and consistency is thicker than most lotions and it is fantastic on dry skin, its easy to rub on and rub in, absorbs quickly and leaves no white cast marks or residue. I tend to get dry skin in the winter so I have been using this everyday post shower to help me alleviate the dryness, leaving my skin feeling hydrated, moisturised and soft. It especially works well on any dry patchy areas and it really has no scent so its not irritating on the skin.

The dermal therapy lip balm is my absolute favourite lip balm – it’s #1 for a reason and that simple reason is because it just works! It’s easy to apply, conveniently packaged and blends into your lips quickly. I like to use it throughout the day and I personally feels it works its magic the best at night transforming my dry, cracked, chapped lips back into a much nicer, smooth, sealed and moisturised set of lips. The formula is smooth, soothing with a slight tingle and glides on fast and sinks in quickly.

The redken all soft shampoo and conditioner are my new favourite hair duo. It really does what it says and keeps my hair very soft, light weight and easy to manage. I tend to get frizzy hair but this has helped tame the frizz! I will admit, I don’t have damaged hair and this is what it’s recommended for, however it still works great for me and my normal (and long) hair. Not to mention, it smells really lovely, the scent is not overpowering, it’s easy to lather, wash out and leaves my hair nice and shiny. I would definitely recommend trying this if you’re looking for an easy and lightweight shampoo!
