The Bed Head Tigi Colour goddess Shampoo and conditioner is the only product I am going to use on my coloured hair from this day on until someone can prove to me there is something better out there for salon professional results at home! The scent is gorgeous, caramel but not sickly sweet. I did have a little trouble with slippery hands vs large bottle and lovely thick conditioner dispensing, (solved this by decanting into a shower shelf friendly pump pack) problem solved! This conditioner is thick, silky and luxurious, it absolutely delivers on its promise to care and revive chemically treated hair and maintain colour vibrancy. It's truly is the bees knees of home haircare products and delivers FIRST CLASS RESULTS. I know I have never been so impressed from the outset with a shampoo and conditioner. Thank you Bed Head for a truly brilliant product!

I cannot remember the last time I used a shampoo and conditioner where I have been impressed from the outset... from the scent to the coverage, to the texture when washing and wet combing to the end result of either curly or straightening. I've had lots of broken promises regarding professional results at home but this is the VERY FIRST time it has been achieved. The size of the bottle is a little big for the shower shelf but decant into some nice pump bottles and that problem is easily fixed. The scent is divinely caramel, the texture is silky and the application really depends on the individual, I am always a little heavy handed with the amount I need. I think this is a result of crap shampoos that have little coverage. The Bed Head Colour Goddess Shampoo and Conditioner is not one of these crap products... this is FIRST CLASS RESULTS as promised and my hair has never felt better after home use! I feel like I have just walked out of the salon every time I use it! It truly does nourish my hair and the colour deepens and appears to be brighter for longer, I simply cannot more highly recommend this product!

The only complaint I have about Elizabeth Arden's Advanced Light Ceramide Capsules is that I don't have a body lotion that is as effective as these little miracle capsules. The Spiel: " Ideal for combination and oily skin types, combining skin-identical phytoceramides, patented cyclopeptides, and hemisqualane to nourish skins barrier, tighten pores, and restore a more balanced, radiant complexion for luminous skin" I don't know what hemisqualane or cyclopeptides however I do believe they are actively playing a part in the brightening and tightening of my skin. I have been using the Advanced Light Ceramide Capsules for over 2 weeks and I can confidently say they have improved the overall appearance of my skin. I am glad the capsules are biodegradable because that was one of my initial concerns. The dosage is perfect, the feel is velvety and lush, my skin feels so smooth and hydrated. The packaging is gorgeous and they just invite you to use them. Quality skincare backed by science will always come at a price and at $155 yes they are expensive but I would pay this for skincare that really does give results than half the amount for mediocre product and broken promises found in many other bottles and tubes.

On the scent alone I was already sold. So divine. My hair hasn't looked this good in so long. This product is truly beautiful and for someone who straightens their curls like me and is in a constant battle with humidity this truly is the answer. I adore it, I cannot remember when my hair felt so silky or if it ever has. Knots are KNOT a problem and one pump of the nozzle was all I needed on my towel dried hair, I also used it the following day on my dry hair and it calmed down the escapees and provided a sleek finish to my pony tail! It doesn't feel heavy and I believe even those with fine hair would be able to use it. Did I mention the scent ... I wish my shampoo and condition smelt like this!

Every so often a product comes along that blows you away! For me Elizabeth Arden's Visible Brightening Spot Correcting Night Capsules with Advanced MIx Concentrate™ II (try saying that over a few times) is that product. The packaging is beautiful, clean fresh and alluring and after reading the following spiel I had huge expectations. "With over 30 years of leadership and 46+ awards worldwide for its capsule technology, Elizabeth Arden now introduces the next generation Visible Brightening Spot Correcting Night Capsules. Reformulated with Advanced MIx Concentrate™ II, a powerful blend of five potent brighteners that work with skin’s natural repair process to visibly diminish the number, size and intensity of dark spots, as you sleep. Now with double the brightening power, this encapsulated golden serum evens tone, minimises appearance of pores and visibly firms for younger-looking skin with a crystal-clear, translucent glow." Not only did it live up to my expectations it exceeded them tenfold! From the first application I was blown away, it was like applying velvet to my skin, the texture of the serum is amazing, it glides over your skin so smoothly and feels so luxurious and that’s not the best of it. After one week and used in conjunction with the Elizabeth Arden Advanced Ceramide Lift and Firm Day and Night Creams, my skin was looking and feeling beautiful, more hydrated and firmer. My neck and décolletage look better than it has in years. They are areas of such concern and if I could offer one piece of advice to all young women is look after your neck and décolletage …. SPF and never forget! Ask Elle MacPherson… it’s one of her biggest skincare regrets! The ingredients sound more like an exotic cocktail including Hops (overall skin health) , Langsat Tree Leaf (Targeting Dark spots) , Vitamin C (fades discolouration and firms) Bisabolol (an active ingredient in chamomile and is known for it’s soothing and brightening effects) and Ginger Root (evens skin tone). The combination is pure magic and really does improve and brighten your skin. At $155 for 60 capsules it’s less than a coffee a day for the result of beautiful skin. I love the capsules as I always tend to be heavy handed with my creams. A worthwhile investment in my books!

I received this amazing Elizabeth Arden Advanced Ceramide Lift and Firm day cream as part of a combined trial along with it’s partner Advanced Ceramide Lift and Firm Night cream and also the Visible Brightening Spot Correcting Capsules. The Dream Team of anti ageing !! First impressions count and from the Gold box to the beautiful frosted glass jar and gold lid I was taken in. The cream is silky and has a scent that is vaguely familiar but have yet to relate it to anything. It’s not overpowering and you don’t need a lot for good coverage. The price is $140 for the jar which may seem expensive but the results are worth it and a little goes a long way. Sustainably packaged with a portion of the glass jar and cap coming from post-consumer recycled packaging, these are all big ticks in a more climate conscious world. Said to provide all day hydration with the benefit of SPF 15 with 5x the Ceramide to strengthen and protect against moisture loss! What are Ceramides…? Ceramides are fats or lipids that are found in skin cells. They make up 30% to 40% of your outer skin layer, or epidermis, vital for retaining your skin's moisture. The other ingredients include, Tetrapeptides, Edelweiss Extract, Red Algae and Vitamin E all uniting to fight ageing and let me say they do it well. After 4 weeks of use my skin looks amazing, younger more firm, smoother and more hydrated in particular my neck area has greatly improved. It feels beautiful and I love what I am seeing in the mirror each day. I highly recommend this investment in your skin and it’s cheaper than a face lift!

Was thrilled to be included in the Elizabeth Arden trial for the Advanced Ceramide Lift and Firm Night Cream (along with the day cream and Visible Brightening Spot Correcting Night Capsules) Real results and amazing skincare! Where to begin, the packaging is beautiful and there is nothing quite like the thrill of receiving such wonderful products to test, especially with promises of overnight restoration for a more youthful look! The silver lid on the night cream and the beautiful frosted glass jar that came out of the gold box is not just about luxury, it’s about results and at the end of the day that’s what we want. The cream itself is silky with a noticeable scent which I didn’t find overpowering, it's a scent that reminds me of fresh washed skin and you don't need a lot for good coverage. It is slightly tacky after application but that didn't seem to last, I also combined this nightly with the Visible Brightening Spot Correcting Night Capsules (more about them in their review) the combination of the two products made for brighter, more firm looking skin that was beautifully hydrated each morning. Could not be happier with the results. I like to keep my expectations in check before trying anything new but with a history and brand like Elizabeth Arden I was expecting wonderful things and She didn’t let me down. The "3D FIT Technology promises to Firm, Intensely Hydrate & Tighten is powered by Ceramides, Tetrapeptides and Edelweiss Extract for visibly lifted, firmer and more defined facial contours in just 1 week” Ceramides are said to strengthen the skin’s barrier to protect against moisture loss, while the Tetrapeptides smooth fine lines and wrinkles restoring firmness and the Edelweiss extract contours and tightens along with Red Algae to increase hydration and Vitamin E the antioxidant we all need to fight the free radicals. I’m not a scientist but the results speak for themselves and yes after one week I had noticed a positive change in the appearance of my skin! Would I recommend the $150 for the jar, absolutely!

Was very excited to be included in the trial team for L'Oreal's Age Perfect Cell Renewal Midnight Serum... (try saying that 5 times quickly) ! You tried it didn't you? On the name alone there was great expectation, then there is the packaging and I just love that amber bottle with the gold label which is sitting proudly on display on my vanity and I have to say L'Oreal delivered tenfold with the results that were clearly evident after even the first week of use. My skin hasn't looked this good in a very long time! It has a radiance and healthy appearance that really is apparent! Claiming "antioxidant benefits, designed to work during the night when skin cells are at its peak of regeneration, using Neohesperdin — derived from bitter orange — and Vitamin E to increase protection against free radical damage" I have to say I am nothing short of impressed with the result. Made without parabens or mineral oil it can even be used on sensitive skin. The price at $59.95 is a bargain once you see the results! Highly recommend to anyone wanting visible results!

How long have you been using your current serum or moisturiser? Are you someone who sticks with your current one because; a) your friends all rave about it, b) it's too expensive to experiment with new ones (that promise the world and don't deliver) and sample sizes are never enough to garner a good enough opinion or experience to make judgement or c) you simply don't know where to begin! I tend to be the other end of the spectrum with a cupboard full of barely used empty promises. Which is why I am eternally thankful to the Beautyheaven Goddesses for choosing me for this trial! At $90 for a 30ml bottle and $129 for the 50ml, of which you don’t need a lot and the results after 2 weeks are impressive! The lines on my face have definitely improved and my skin has an overall softer, more youthful and hydrated appearance. With the holy grail of ingredients such as pure retinoid, Hyaluronic acid concentrate and CL1870 ( Palmitoyl tripeptide-1, Acetyl hexapeptide-8 and Palmitoyl tetrapeptide, caffeine and algae extract) all designed to boost the skin’s natural collagen production this beautiful little purple pump bottle now proudly dominates my skincare regime. Other brag benefits are: Artificial Fragrance Free Sulphate Free Mineral Oil Free Alcohol Free Paraben Free Don’t use in conjunction with other retinol products. As this product contains a derivative of Vitamin A, always wear a broad-spectrum SPF of minimum SPF30 during the day. This is a big tick from me and I would highly recommend it to anyone concerned with ageing, fine lines and dry, dull skin!

Thank you Beautyheaven for choosing me to trial the New Nivea Naturally Good (day & night) creams. A fantastic option for all skin types and budgets ($22). The Night cream has 99% ingredients derived from nature, including Organic Burdock, known for skin smoothing, boosting collagen and antioxidants, argan oil, jojoba and almond oil. It goes on easily and you don't need to use much for great coverage. Said to visibly reduce lines and wrinkles in 2 weeks and I used it in conjunction with the day cream and am very happy with the results. My skin really does look visibly brighter and smoother. The Naturally good range which includes Body Lotion, Cleanser, Shower Gel, day & night creams and wipes, said to care for the skin and respect the planet – sourced responsibly, minimise pollution and waste and are being 100% transparent about it. Well done Nivea, this is something to be very proud of and happy to support this by continuing to use this product. It works and feels beautiful on my skin! I love this product and happily recommend it to anyone!
