I have this in the shade 11 peach quartz. It's a soft peach colour with some shimmer. I think it would suit most skin tones. The packaging is really luxe with a nice rose gold lid, and it doesn't leak. Has a nice doe foot applicator which is a good size. The gloss is not sticky or tacky, but I do find if I apply too much the shimmer can feel a bit gritty on the lips. It does leave my lips feeling moisturised. It isn't heavily scented, just slightly of vanilla. It tastes a little strange like cooking oil at times which is probably the only downside to this lipgloss.

I have been using Nivea lip balms for years. These smell really good like blackberry lollies. The lid is really easy to take off and put on, rolls up and down easily. I like the colour of this but it's also easy to sheer out if you're not a fan of the colour. I find the formula moisturising and not drying on the lips. It's a great alternative for a daily lipstick and easy to throw in the handbag. I got this one in a holiday multipack but they're really affordable and easy to get at the supermarket or pharmacy.

I got this as part of a gift with purchase. I liked how it felt on the lips, left my lips feeling glossy and moisturised. This was my handbag spf lip balm, which as someone with a family history of skin cancer I know the importance of sun protection. I tried so hard to finish this, but I could not get used to the taste. It tastes like sunscreen. I ended up throwing it out due to hating the taste so much. I feel like 5 to 10 years ago this formula would be ok, but I know there are so many better options on the market.

I got this lipstick on special at the supermarket. I have it in the colour 045 supermodel which is a nice berry colour. I like how this looks and applies at first but after it has been sitting on the lips for 5 to 10 minutes it clings to any dry patches you have and looks horrible. If I apply a thin layer, I can make it work but it's not worth the constant checking in the mirror or pressing my lips together to make sure the product is sitting evenly on my lips. It does not feel moisturising as it claims to be just waxy. I would recommend the Revlon Super Lustrous shine lipsticks instead.

I received this in a Priceline skincare bag. This is a nice hydrating gel moisturiser that has little pearls in it. It came with a little spatula applicator with it, but I admit I misplaced it. I find the little capsules will fall off when you're applying the product if you're not careful. The packaging is heavy and lux but also deceptive as it is the same size as some 50g moisturisers I have. I have been using this for a while and did not notice any anti-aging benefits for my skin, but it is quite hydrating. I like that it is Australian made but I would probably not repurchase it.

I like that the packaging has a pump. This is a gentle cleanser which does not leave my skin feeling stripped. I don't notice any scent of this cleanser; it is fragrance free. It is affordable even at full price and you can often find it on special too. I find a bottle lasts a long time even with using it every day. It does an okay job at removing makeup, if I had a lot on, I would probably still use eye makeup remover. I have repurchased this once and will keep buying it. I also have the CeraVe foaming oil cleanser but I prefer this one.

I love the big doefoot on this lipgloss. I got mine in the colour lean in which is a light pink colour. It's not too sticky and feels quite hydrating on the lips. I don't mind the smell because it's the same they've been using for years which is nostalglic as I was using Revlon glosses in high school. The thing I didn't like about the gloss was how much glitter it had in it. They weren't big enough to be felt on the lips but very visibly noticeable. I would give this product 3.5 stars if I could. I would be tempted to by this again if it didn't have so much shimmer in it.

This eye cream is a nice consistency, not too thick not too thin. I think it's a good beginner retinol I could use it every night if I wanted to with no skin reaction. I didn't notice any difference in terms of wrinkles or puffiness but my eye area was definitely hydrated. I was hoping it would improve the milia around my eyes but it didn't, however that isn't one of the products claims. It comes in a small squeezy tube, so it's easy to get the right amount of product. It has a barely noticeable fragrance which I didn't mind.

I thought I got a bad one, but I've checked several testers in store and they're all the same. The product leaks and it smells bad. I don't like applying it by itself because it feels sticky no matter how much or how little I apply. I do like that the packaging isn't transparent. According to the bottle you only need 2-3 drops per application. Which makes it reasonably good value for money. I have never been more tempted to throw a product out. I will not be repurchasing which is a shame because I have tried other Bondi Sands products which I like.
