The Remington AIRvive is a beautiful 2 in 1 air styler which helps to dry wet and damp hair and also straighten dry hair which is a useful tool to have when you are short on time or only want to bring one hair tool with you when travelling. I love the colour and design of the tool, it looks stylish and modern much like the matching hair dryer. It heats up fairly quickly so I can use it right away. I used it on both damp and dry hair and it helps to dry and smooth out my hair without causing much frizz. It glides easily through the hair without any strands getting caught. The heat is distributed evenly so hair looks straight and not uneven in certain areas.

My first impression of the Remington AIRvive Digital hair dryer was that it looked so modern and high tech. I love the colour, very feminine and chic and the design is eye catching. It looks different compared to the other hair dryers I have owned. Compared to other hair dryers it's easier to hold as it's not as heavy which makes drying my hair less painful for my arms. I have quite thick hair which can take a long time to dry and the hair dryer did a good job of drying my hair quickly and making it look smooth without it looking frizzy or fluffy.

I tried the Thanks to Nature hydrate and nourish conditioner with abysinnian oil along with the matching shampoo and really enjoyed the product. Along with the abysinnian oil it contains shea butter and Vitamin E which help with adding moisture to your hair. Just like with their other products it is cruelty free, vegan friendly and doesn't contain parabens. I applied the conditioner to the middle and ends of my hair, let it sit for around several minutes and then washed it out. My hair felt so soft. When it came to brushing my hair it was so easy, no tangles or knots.

The hydrate and nourish shampoo by Thanks to Nature contains abysinnian oil, coconut oil and Vitamin E to keep your hair healthy and shiny. I tried out the small travel version but it also comes in a larger 500ml bottle. It has a nice subtle fragrance and helps to cleanse my hair and scalp while also providing moisture and hydration. What I really like that is that it isn't tested on animals/cruelty free, vegan friendly and doesn't contain any harsh chemicals which can strip your hair leaving it feeling tight and dry. This would be a suitable shampoo for those who have normal to dry hair.

The Dermal Therapy overnight face repair face cream is a thick and hydrating moisturiser. You will wake up with soft, moisturised and plump skin. I find that you don't have to use much of the product to reap the benefits. I apply it to my face and neck at night after cleansing. It's a good cream to use if you have dry or very dry skin. It has very good skincare ingredients including hyaluronic acid, ceramides, collagen, peptides and more! It is marketed as an overnight face cream but I think it can also be used during the day as well and the hydration will last all day.

The Clinique moisture surge active glow serum is a serum that hydrates the skin but also brightens and exfoliates the skin in a gentle, non irritating way. It comes in a beautiful bottle with a dropper. I like to add the serum into the palm of my hands and then pat it into my skin after cleansing. It doesn't have any fragrance and it absorbs really quickly. Some of the active ingredients in the glow serum include Vitamin C which is great for brightening the skin, hyaluronic acid for hydration and lactic acid which helps to exfoliate the skin. It's easy to incorporate into my skincare routine and so far my skin is looking ever so slightly brighter which is a good sign.

I am a huge fan of Burts Bees and their tinted lip balm is great. I have tried several of their shades before and the one I am reviewing is the shade called 'Red Dahlia'. The product is buttery smooth and soft, easy to apply and feels comfortable on the lips. It adds a nice wash of colour to the lips and a bit of shine. It feels moisturising and I like that it is made with natural ingredients. As it is a tinted lip balm it will transfer and won't have great longevity so you will need to reapply throughout the day especially after eating and drinking. It's an effortless way of adding colour and hydration to your lips.

I was so excited to try the marine beauty scalp scrub by Justice. I have used a few scalp scrubs in the past and I find that they can be a hit or miss. Some seem to be easy to use and rinse out easily while others can be very difficult to massage and remove. Unfortunately I found this product to be hard to use. I found the scrub itself hard to apply and spread onto my scalp, it wasn't easy to move around if that makes sense. Rinsing it out was also difficult as it was stuck to my hair. The other thing that I noticed was that it left my hair and scalp feeling oily and greasy which I did not like. I want to make it work but I'm not sure if it's the product for me.

I really liked the dewy serum blush drops from Nude by Nature. It comes in a cute and compact bottle and offers three different shades. I chose the shade warm rose as I thought it would look the nicest on my skin tone. You can apply it with your fingers just by dabbing it onto your cheeks or you can use a foundation brush or beauty blender. For me it was easier to apply by adding a couple of drops to the palm of my hand and dabbing my foundation brush into it so it was pre blended. I then applied it onto the high points of my cheeks. The colour is beautiful - it adds a nice dewy glow and you can always add more to build up the intensity.

The Maybelline lifter stix can be used in many different ways - concealer, foundation, bronzer and contouring! It comes in various different shades, both warm and cool toned. The shade I tried out was slightly darker than my skin tone as I wanted to use it as a bronzer. The colour is warm and helps to add a bronzy yet natural looking contour for a more sculpted look. The stick format makes it really easy to apply and it glides on smoothly. Blending it out is also very easy. I use a foundation brush but you can also use your fingers. It's a great product and I am keen to try out the other shades!
