I have been using the Avene Dermabsolu night cream gor a few weeks now along with the matching day cream. The cream promises to smooth and visibly define facial contours which I can happily say is true! The jar looks really classy and expensive but it took me a couple of minutes to figure out how to dispense the cream, it has a twist lid which you press down and the gel like textured cream comes out! The fragrance is quite strong but very pleasant and the cream absorbs well with no greasy feel. My skin looks and feels much better since using the cream. It can also be used as a face mask 2 or 3 times a week by applying a thicker layer, leaving for 10 minutes and removing the excess product which i have done a couple of times with good results. Overall a lovely night cream which I am happy to recommend.

I have been using the Avene Dermabsolu for a few weeks and I am very happy with the results. The container itself is a glass jar with a gold insert containing the cream which sits inside the jar, almost like a refill. My skin feels softer and firmer and the lines have improved. The cream contains bakuchol and pro ceramides which nourish and hydrate the skin. It has a pleasant fragrance and absorbs well. It dropped a star because it doesn't contain sunscreen which I prefer in a day cream. Overall I am enjoying using the day cream, especially as I haven't previously used any products by Avene.

I received the Toni &Guy purple toning mask to trial in conjunction with the matching shampoo and conditioner, thank you BH! I love hair masks as my hair needs extra TLC with having regular blonde highlights which can leave it quite dry. It comes in a plastic tub which I find a bit fiddly to use with wet hands in the shower. However the mask itself has a nice thick creamy consistency and smells great. After shampooing I applied the mask all o ermy hair and then put a shower cap on for extra benefits, trapping in the heat helps it to penetrate into the hair. I left it on while I shaved my legs etc. After about 4 minutes I rinsed thoroughly and blow dried my hair. It does leave my hair nice and soft, it will be interesting to see how it works on my frizzy hair in our Queensland humidity. I would purchase again at this price point.

I received the Toni and Guy Strengthplex hair mask to trial, thank you BH! The mask is suited to frizzy damaged hair, yes that's my hair! Living in Queensland my hair gets very frizzy and never looks smooth and shiny so I was very excited to try this mask having tried lots of masks previously that have promised great hair but don't deliver results. After shampooing my hair with the Toni and Guy purple shampoo for blonde hair I squeezed out the excess water from my hair and applied the mask all over my hair. I then put on a shower cap and carried on with my shower routine, shaving etc while the mask worked its magic. After 20 minutes I thoroughly rinsed my hair and I could already feel my hair fely softer. After blow-drying my hair looks smoother and a bit shinier. It will be interesting to see if it stands up to the Queensland humidity but so far I'm impressed.

I received the Toni and Guy purple conditioner to trial along with the matching shampoo and hair mask, thank you BH! After washing my hair with the matching shampoo I applied the conditioner to my hair after squeezing out the excess water. The conditioner has a lovely creamy consistency and smells amazing. I left it o my hair for a few minutes to achieve the best results and then rinsed thoroughly. For a supermarket product the results are much better than expected. My hair is nice and smooth and I could actually comb it with ease while damp. A great conditioner which I will repurchase.

I received the Toni and Guy purple shampoo to trial, thank you BH! I have naturally dark blonde hair and regularly have it highlighted but as my hair has a red undertone it quickly looks a brassy yellow colour which I hate. I regularly use purple shampoo so was interested to see how this compares to my usual brand which is more expensive. The packaging is good, not too bulky so it fits nicely on my shelf in the shower, very important! The shampoo lathers well with not too much product being used. I always shampoo my hair twice and after the second shampoo I pop on a shower cap so it really penetrates my hair as I like an ashy tone.i am pleased with the results, it smells great too.i would recommend.

I received the Nivea Cellular Lift Expert night cream to trial, thank you BH! I have been using it now for a few weeks along with the matching day cream. I have enjoyed using the products, especially the night cream during the winter as it is so rich and hydrating and smells amazing! It comes in a cardboard box with the ingredient list and instructions clearly printed. Like the day cream it contains a retinol alternative called Bakuchiol which promises to define facial contours and reduce deep wrinkles. My skin definitely feels softer and plumper and my wrinkles look softer almost. Overall it is a great night cream for the price and I would repurchase.

I received the Nivea day cream to trial, thank you BH! I have really enjoyed using the day cream during the winter as it is super rich and moisturising but I think it would be too heavy for our QLD summers. It comes in a cardboard box with lots of information printed on it. The cream itself is in a 50ml plastic tub with a rose gold lid which I thought was a bit cheap looking. My favourite thing about Nivea products is the fragrance I absolutely love it! One of the ingredients is the retinol alternative Bakuchiol which promises to boost collagen and improve skin density. My skin does feel more plumped after a few weeks use and also softer. I like that it has an SPF but as it is only factor 15 it again is more suitable for winter. For the price it is a nice moisturiser and I would probably repurchase.

I received the Duit Tough Shield sanitising hand cream to trial, thank you! The product comes in a 75g tube and promises up to 6 hours antimicrobial protection which kills 99.9% of germs. It is also alcohol free which is great as alcohol is so drying on the skin. It is also suitable for sensitive skin which is a bonus, not that I personally suffer from it but many people now do.It is also made in Australia and has a money back guarantee. The cream is so much better to use than typical hand sanitisers although it isn't quite as moisturising as my usual hand cream I still enjoy using it as it is so convenient being a sanitiser as well. No distinct fragrance, I think I would prefer maybe a little fragrance added.

I received the Manicare Contour Roller Set to trial for BH, thank you! I am a complete sucker for anything which claims to improve my skin, especially now I'm heading towards 60! This gadget claims to visibly tone sculpt and tighten yay just what I need! It comes in a cardboard box with a user guide which also includes a diagram of the massage technique which is a nice touch. The roller is metallic purple in colour and has interchangeable heads,one for the face and a smaller one for the eye area.I couldn't wait to use it and was disappointed that the required AA battery wasn't included, I think for the price point it should be included. Battery inserted I applied serum as recommended so the roller glides over the skin and doesn't drag. It feels strange at first but then becomes relaxing once you know what to expect. I'm not sure I have seen results yet but I'm loving using a few time a week as part of my night time routine.
