The Bed Head TIGI Recovery Conditioner when teamed with the Bed Head TIGI Recovery Shampoo is certainly a fantastic conditioner that delivered a healthy shine to my stressed, dry and damaged hair . My hair was really feeling the impacts of the colder months and the stress from the indoor dry heating and the shampoo teamed with the Bed Head TIGI Recovery Conditioner certainly came to the rescue of my seriously stressed dry winter hair from the first wash itself. Instantly transforming the overall look and feel of my hair for the better. The Bed Head TIGI Recovery Conditioner bottle is a generous 750ml and it is priced economically for the quality and size of the product. The bright blue and grey packaging with black, white and blue lettering is very similar to the Bed Head TIGI - Recovery shampoo bottle. I do wish they were coloured or shaped slightly differently from each other so you could easily tell them apart in a rush. The easy to use flip top lid has a small opening so it does not dispense too much product at a time. Even though the large size of the bottle is quite heavy and cumbersome to use (especially with wet slippery hands!) the small opening only dispenses a little bit of product at a time, keeping wasted product to a minimum. I have long thick hair and only required a small amount of the product for one application. I applied the conditioner from the mid lengths of my hair to the tips and waited for about 3 minutes before rinsing it off. The Bed Head TIGI Recovery Conditioner is a pearly white in colour with a faint tinge of blue and it has quite a strong green apple candy fragrance which is quite strong and does stay in your hair for quite a long while after washing. I liked the clean fresh scent of the product in my hair and while it was quite a strong fragrance its not too over powering. I found it very very easy to comb out my hair after the shower. The conditioner effortlessly dealt with all the tangles and knots and my hair was so easy to comb out with minimal tugging and knots to undo. This will certainly help reduce breakage and split ends especially as dry stressed hair is most vulnerable to breakage right after a shower. Due to this the tips of my hair feel much healthier and less dry. I dont even need any additional hair oil to lock the moisture in after a shower and before styling. My hair looks and feels silky smooth and healthy. The Bed Head TIGI Recovery Conditioner teamed with the Bed Head TIGI Recovery shampoo really work brilliantly together to boost the moisture content as well as shine and softness of my hair. My hair feels much more manageable and also has added volume which I was pleased with. It is an excellent and gentle conditioner for dry and damaged hair that needs additional moisture, softness and shine.

The Bed Head TIGI Recovery Shampoo is definitely a stellar product to instantly bring a healthy shine to dry damaged hair and I feel very lucky to  discover and trial this fantastic product. My hair has been looking dull and feeling drier than usual over the colder wintry weather and this shampoo teamed with the conditioner really helped rejuvenate and revitalise my stressed dry hair in just one wash. I love the big generous size of 750ml in one bottle and it is priced economically for the quality and size of the product. The bright blue and grey packaging is a bit boring and does not do justice to how good a shampoo it is! The Bed Head TIGI - Recovery shampoo bottle is pretty identical except for the labelling to the Bed Head TIGI Recovery Conditioner bottle. This is a bit confusing in the shower and I wish they looked slightly different so that it was easy to differentiate between the two bottles.The flip top lid has a small opening so it does not dispense too much product at a time. I love that as you do not need much shampoo to get a really good foaming lather in just a few seconds. I have long thick hair and only required a small amount of the product for one wash. With the generous size of the bottle the product will last me ages. The shampoo is a pearly white in colour and has quite a strong  green apple candy fragrance. Which is not too strong but does linger long after a wash. It has a nice clean fresh scent and I received compliments on how nice my hair smelled! While the shampoo does do as it says and brings a lot of healthy shine and moisture to dry hair I was also pleasantly surprised at the levels of volume I noticed as well. My hair feels much stronger and healthier with regular use of the last few weeks. It has a much higher level of bounce and shine than usual and my scalp feels less dry and stressed which I love. It feels soft and moisturized all the way from the roots to the tips. The tips of my hair that often feel dry and stressed felt soft and incredibly smooth. I could even skip the addition of a light hair oil that I usually use before styling to lock in the moisture as there was simply no need for it! Will certainly continue to use this shampoo and conditioner duo as it really makes a visible difference in the overall look and feel of my hair. So while this shampoo works well on normal hair it is also a great product if you want a bit more lift and volume in your hair. However if you don't want the added volume it's not very suitable. It should suit most hair types but in particular is recommended  for dry and damaged hair. It certainly performs much better than my regular shampoo and conditioner and i loved discovering this fantastic product.

The paddle brush was definitely a great product, I like the black colour with a bit of copper look tips at the ends of the bristles. The brush was also light and had a nice grooved grip on the handle which increased control and ease of use. Helped to effortlessly detangle my thick straight hair without tugging and minimal hair loss. The rounded tips of the bristles gave my scalp a nice soothing massage feel and did not irritate it. It removed all the tangles and left my hair looking sleek and shiny. The de-tangling brush works beautifully on both wet and dry hair. The brush is sturdy enough for thick hair but gentle enough to handle fine hair as well. Really love this brush and is an upgrade from the existing Lady Jane brush that I currently use.

While I love the idea of a styler that you can charge almost like a phone and then carry with you to use for touch ups without being connected to an electric point it simply failed to deliver. The hairstyler looks really sleek and has a nice suede touch feel that feels luxurious and modern. The black and light golden champagne colours are a classis combination and look good together. The hair styler conveniently comes in a nice sleek black felt carry case for when you need to carry it in your bag. As it has no accompanying electrical cable it makes it very handy for travelling as its a very streamlined design. But it is quite heavy and hard to use. I guess sacrificing the electrical cable meant the styler had to be heavier to carry the battery to hold the charge. The first time I charged it it finished charging and stopped flashing in an hours time itself. Charging the hair styler was very easy and simple and it does hold its charge for a very long time after as well. The blue light indicator that flashes while it's charging makes it easy to see when it is fully charged as it stops flashing when it is done. This precharging means you have more freedom of movement and can do your hair just about anywhere as long as you remember to keep it fully charged! This is certainly its best feature and the only hair styler that I have come across with this cordless option. It certainly will come in handy on road trips and camping trips! The temperature setting buttons are easy to use . It has 3 heat settings 160C for delicate or bleached hair, 180C for fine hair and 200C for normal to medium hair. I used it on the highest setting in order to see any difference. The actual heated plate section is absolutely tiny and takes double the time to use as I would normally take to style my hair. The on and off slider button as well as the lock and unlocking buttons are easy to use and well positioned. Unfortunately on the highest heat setting it is definitely not hot enough even after waiting for the recommended heating time. Also the heavier weight of the styler makes it uncomfortable to use especially since it takes so much longer as the heating plates smaller size means only very small sections of hair can be styled at a time. Even taking time to do it well, I was not happy with how my hair looked with both straightening or curling it. I did prefer the finish during straightening as the lower heat meant my curls didnt come out as tightly as I would have liked them to. Overall it is handy to use for touch ups but it really would have been brilliant with a larger heating plate section and wish it was lighter as well. I will use it for travelling and to touch up my hair on the go.

All La Roche-Posay products I have tried are very gentle and calming and this balm is by far the most calming soothing one I have ever tried. It comes in their signature white and blue carton packaging, it is crisp and clean and easily dispenses the right amount of product in a squeezy tube format. It is very small in size though at 40ml. The balm itself is white in colour and has no fragrance and is a very very thick consistency that is a bit hard to apply. When I used it the first time at night , I woke up the next morning was stunned to see how quickly the balm worked in calming down redness around my nose. My skin immediately felt less stressed and noticeably less red and dry. The balm is very thick so is a bit hard to apply but after awhile it started melting in to my skin and did give it an oily appearance. Well worth it for how much improvement in such a very short span of time. Within a week I found no more signs of stressed red skin and my face looked so much more hydrated and even toned. All the red splotchy dry areas completely dissapeared. Especially at the edges of my nose, which I always struggle with. It was almost as if it was a medicated product for the area around my nose that no cream could ever budge the redness and sore dry feeling. Very impressed at how long after application it continued to keep my skin moisturized and calmed. Even though it is a balm and thick in consistency I had no break outs at all which was amazing so I can enjoy my calmer more even toned and moisturized skin. A little of the product does go a long way as it is very thick but does take awhile to get absorbed in the skin. I found applying it while my skin was still warm from the shower helped with applying the balm easier. A fantastic product for those with red, sore, dry and irriated skin, especially if you want to see immediate results.

Loved that I was able to be part of this trial team! It certainly is a very effective serum with a visible difference right from the very first application. Was really impressed with how calming and soothing it felt. The outer packaging is a crisp clean white with hints of bright blue. While I liked the simple clean look of the bottle the dropper was very poorly made. It either delivered too much product or way too little and found it very annoying to use. The liquid serum itself is white in colour and fragrance free. It gets absorbed immediately into the skin and instantly begins to calm and soothe the skin and deeply hydrate it. It soaks in quickly and dries up within seconds so skin is then ready for application of lotion. It does not leave my skin oily or sticky and I loved that. Red stressed areas calmed down immediately and within a matter of weeks my skin feels so much healthier, calmer and hydrated. Certainly a wonderful serum if you have sensitive skin and want an immediate fix! Worth the cost for how well it works. Really wish the dropper was better designed.

The brand QV has been a tried and trusted product ever present in our household for years but had never tried their serum before and wish I had earlier! Thanks to BH I finally did.The brand was recommended to us after my husbands surgery to apply the moisturizer on the healing wound and for cleansing it as well so I always knew it was a gentle yet effective product. Hence was not suprised that the serum was so very gentle around the sensitive areas of my face. The product comes in the distinct blue and white coloured pack and is a generously sized, easy to use pump pack. Just one pump is more than adequate to cover my entire face. It is white in colour and has no fragrance making it suitable for almost all skin types. The serum is not greasy and very easily glides across my face making it very easy to apply quickly and cover all areas with minimum of fuss. It soaks into my skin quickly leaving it feeling fresh more supple and definetly more hydrated. After about 30 seconds I apply my QV face moisturizer. It does not burn even a little bit around the dry sensitive skin around my nose and mouth. If anything it actually soothes and calms the skin around the dry areas on my face, leaving my whole face feeling less tight and soft to the touch. I loved how gentle the serum was! Especially with Melbourne's harsh dry winter making my skin feel tight and dry this serum certainly came to the rescue. Within 2 weeks the skin around sensitive areas of my face, that felt dry and stressed has become normal again! My skin looks much healthier with a soft glow and more supple and smooth. The lines on my forehead have become less noticeable and the overall appearance seems clearer and softer. Will certainly continue to buy and use this serum from QV as it really has been a saviour for my dry and stressed winter skin!

Was very lucky to be chosen to be part of the Elizabeth Arden Prevage 2.0 eye cream Trial Team as I was just considering a change in my eye cream and wanted something that helped smooth out the skin on my eyelids and this cream certainly delivered results. It comes in a pretty silver tube, with bright yellow highlights, with a steel tipped applicator . This applicator delivered just the right amount of product and the cream itself is not too runny but nice and luxurious without being sticky or heavy. The cream is a pale yellow in colour and has no fragrance. It easily glides along my eye region and just a little product effectively covers a lot. It sinks into my skin quickly without leaving any greasy residue and forms a nice smooth and even base for my makeup. I do have sensitive eyes that often turn red and burn and water when I apply any makeup or creams, however this product worked brilliantly. My eyes actually felt soothed and it seemed to calm down redness and puffiness. Overall the last few weeks I can see the skin around my eyes looking less wrinkly, especially the skin on my eyelids has smoothed out and looks tauter and brighter. My eyes don't look so tired and I have found myself skipping concealer often! Overall a brilliant cream to improve the overall look of the delicate areas around the eyes. And best of all it is so gentle and effective at the same time.

Used the TRESemme Volume and Fullness Conditioner along with the TRESemme Volume and Fullness Shampoo as part of the BH trial Team and loved the difference it has made to my hair. It comes in a generously sized 940ml pack. The pump pack makes it so easy to use and the distinctly different white coloured bottle for conditioner compared to the black coloured shampoo bottle makes it so convenient to use. The conditioner is a nice thick white and creamy in consistency and has a nice fresh and clean fragrance that is partly floral and partly green apple. I used the conditioner soon after shampooing and then rinsed off after a few minutes. It really helped my hair to become for manageable when combing it out while wet. Significantly helped to de-tangle and smooth out my hair. My hair looked much healthier, it had more bounce and volume and looked more full and all did not feel heavy or weighed down. It gave my hair a nice shine and felt really soft to the touch and easier to style and manage.

Really loving the instant great hair days I've been having since using this Volume and Fullness Shampoo from TRESemme! I have been tempted to try the brand but because of the larger bottle size was hesitant so was really glad I got to trial this shampoo. It is a very generous 940ml, easy to use pump pack and in a nice professional look black in colour with a purple stripe. I love pump pack as it makes it soooo much easier to get product out when I am in a hurry! Also another big plus for me is the distinctly differently coloured conditioner bottle (in white) which makes it easy to distinguish between the shampoo and conditioner.The bottle is made from recycled plastic which is another tick from me! The shampoo is clear in colour and has a nice fresh floral fragrance that is pleasant without being overpowering and leaves my hair with a nice clean, green apple kind of scent. It foams up nicely and left my hair feeling light and clean. My hair looked much healthier, shiny and bouncy. It certainly gave it a thicker, fuller look , made it look less limp and more bouncy and full. It contains multi vitamins and coconut oil that helps increase hydration and moisture levels making my hair feel softer. A really good shampoo for hair that needs a lift and more bounce. Helps to make hair soft and more full and healthier overall.
