TRESemme Moisture Rich Conditioner is something that I've been using in conjunction with the shampoo from the same range. I really love how this conditioner nourishes and hydrates my long thick dyed hair and brings it back to life, making it more manageable! The formula contains vitamin E and arginine which are the main ingredients to help boost moisture into the hair. The conditioner is housed in a huge recyclable bottle with a pump and I found 1 pump was quite generous for one application. The conditioner was very easy to apply evenly to the mid-length to ends of my hair and after rinsing the product out, my hair feels very lush and silky soft to touch. The scent of the conditioner was refreshing and I quite like how it makes me feel relaxed! I'm very satisfied with the TRESemme Moisture Rich Conditioner together with the shampoo as it has made my hair look and feel healthy and clean! This contidioner is very well priced for the quality and I highly recommend this product!

TRESemme Moisture Rich Shampoo is a really great shampoo that makes my hair feel soft, clean and well hydrated. The shampoo is housed in a huge bottle with a pump. One full pump provided a sufficient amount of product to clean and nourish my long thick dyed hair. The scent of the shampoo is soo refreshing and uplifting and it's not overwhelming at all. The scent made me feel like I was at a salon! It was very easy to lather the shampoo into my hair to create a foamy white texture so that I could clean my hair very well. The shampoo made my hair look and feel very healthy and clean. My hair looks more hydrated with added life into my hair. I really love using this TRESemme Moisture Rich Shampoo as I feel like it gives me that salon quality feel at a really affordable price. Also, this product makes it easily accessible being sold at the Supermarket. I highly recommend this shampoo if you are on a budget and looking for a product that nourishes dehydrated hair.

Cetaphil Sun Ultra-light lotion has very high sun protection of SPF50+ and is formulated for oily skin for application on both the body and face. The sunscreen comes in a big tube with a flip top cap and it’s a good 100mL size tube that will last a good while. The sunscreen has no distinct scent as the formula is fragrance and oil free, and my sensitive skin did not react to the formula as no skin redness was visible. The opaque white lotion is lightweight and not too runny, so I was able to easily apply a small amount of sunscreen onto my face. My skin type is oily and unfortunately, this sunscreen left my face looking very shiny and greasy without the white cast. I very much prefer applying this sunscreen on my body as this product doesn’t sit well before makeup application, due to the sunscreen not absorbing very well and leaving a greasy look. Overall, I recommend using this sunscreen on the body due to the ease of application, the very high sun protection, broad spectrum and sun filters. If you have very oily skin, I would not recommend using this sunscreen on the face.

I always wear sunscreen on the days I’m out of the house, so that I can protect my skin from the sun’s harmful UV radiation. One of my favourite mineral sunscreens is Invisible Zinc Sheer Defence Tinted Moisturiser, because it offers very high sun protection (SPF50) and contains mineral ingredient zinc oxide which helps to physically block the sun’s harmful rays. This mineral sunscreen is housed in a squeezy tube with a flip top lid, so it’s very easy to dispense the desired amount of product for my face and neck. It takes 20 minutes after application for the sunscreen to take effect and the formula is water resistant for 2 hours before reapplication is necessary. The shade “Light” is light beige in colour, but once applied, the formula fully rubs into the skin, thereby leaving no colour tint and no white cast at all! The name stands true to being “Invisible Zinc”! The consistency of this formula is thick and creamy, and it easily glides on buttery smooth for a nice, even and smooth application. The formula dries quickly to a nice matte finish without any tacky residues. I really love the lightweight formula and how my skin feels very comfortable and well hydrated. The formula complements my sensitive skin type very well, as my skin did not react adversely to the formula. There is no scent to this sunscreen whatsoever, which is a huge plus for me, because I’ve used so many sunscreens that leave a very unpleasant lingering scent. Overall, I am highly satisfied with Invisible Zinc Tinted Moisturiser, because it gives my skin the highest sun protection it needs, whilst leaving my skin feeling well nourished! I highly recommend this product!

I really like how sleek and simple the design of the Manicare NOVA Fit Body Massager looks and it's great how easy it is to operate this little beauty. The massager has two settings: Electronic Stimulation Muscle Technology (EMS) (5 intensity levels) and LIPO Vacuum massage technique (3 intensity levels). I’ve been using this massager on my thighs and glutes 5 times each week over the last 8 weeks and I am pleasantly surprised that I noticed great results to the appearance of these areas towards the 8 week mark of this trial. Key things to remember is that it’s a must to apply body lotion prior to massaging to allow the massager rollers to glide easily along the skin. Also, I made sure that I massaged each side of my thighs and glutes for about 3 minutes (not more than 5 mins per area to avoid overuse, as per instructions). At first I was a little nervous using this massager, because the vacuum from the suction cups felt quite strong against my skin on the lowest Lipo setting. So, I did find it slightly painful to use during the initial few days. However, after continual use I felt more comfortable using the massager and didn't feel pain at all, which I'm so glad! Rolling the body massager in a slow vertical upward and downward motion along my thighs and glutes made those areas of my body feel so relaxed! I noticed improved blood circulation along my thighs and my skin looks and feels smoother towards the 4 week mark. At this point I felt comfortable using an EMS setting of 5 (max) and LIPO setting of 2 (middle level). As I continued using this massager towards the 8 week mark I noticed that my thighs were slightly more firm which is a really great milestone to see during this trial. Overall, I found that it is important to stick to the usage of 5 times each week in order to achieve results. I really like how my thighs and glutes look and feel slightly more toned and I especially like how this massager helped to improve blood circulation.

I’ve been trialling the Burt’s Bees Lip Shine in shade #020 Blush, which is a medium pink shade. I really like the fact that this lip shine is formulated from 100% natural ingredients, there are no nasty ingredients, and it is not tested on animals. This lip gloss is housed in a squeezable tube with a no-mess slanted applicator for ease of application. The applicator makes it so easy to apply this lip shine when I’m in a rush and heading out the door. I love the sweet strawberry scent of this lip shine and the consistency of this lip shine glides onto my lips so smoothly without that heavy lip gloss feel. The gloss is slightly sticky, but just enough to stay on my lips for a good few hours before needing to reapply. My lips feel so well nourished and hydrated and it gives my lips a slight natural pink hue with a smooth glossy finish. This lip gloss is my current handbag lip essential, and I will definitely explore the other shades in the range!

Dermal Therapy Sensitive Skin Lotion is an absolute skin saviour during these cooler months. I’m always on a lookout for Aussie made products especially skin care products that are dermatologically tested to specifically suit sensitive skin types, so it’s great that Dermal Therapy Skin Lotion ticks those boxes! This skin lotion is housed in a pump bottle, so it’s easy to dispense the desired amount of product hygienically. The lightweight creamy white consistency of this lotion feels great on my skin and it’s very gentle to my sensitive dry skin. My elbows and knees are usually quite dry, so this lotion works wonders to keep all the dry patches on my body well hydrated without leaving any greasy/sticky residue. I also use this lotion on my two kids and this lotion helps to ease and calm their eczema prone skin. Overall, I really love this skin-friendly body lotion as it works so well for the whole family and it’s such an affordable body lotion that’s available in a 250mL and 750mL bottle.

Essano Advanced Brightening Vitamin C Concentrated Serum This is the first time I’ve tried Essano skincare and I am super impressed with the quality and feel of the Essano Vitamin C Concentrated Serum! It’s great that the serum is housed in a 20mL amber glass bottle with a dropper dispenser to maintain the efficacy of the ingredients and that the packaging is eco-friendly. The serum is formulated in NZ and contains 5% vitamin C and at least 90% of ingredients are derived from natural origin. Over the last 2 weeks, I’ve been using this vitamin C serum in the AM and PM daily after cleansing and toning my skin. Just a couple of drops is sufficient to apply onto my face and neck. The serum is opaque white and has a milky consistency that makes my skin feel smooth and rejuvenated whilst gently massaging the serum to my skin. This serum is very gentle to my combination/sensitive skin and I love how my skin looks brighter, clearer and feels well nourished. Overall, the Essano Vitamin C Serum is one of my current faves and I will definitely purchase another bottle once this current bottle one is empty.

I really enjoyed using the Weleda Weightless 24h Hydrating Facial Cream because my skin feels well hydrated, soft and smooth throughout the day. I love that Weleda products are 100% certified natural and organic. This facial cream is completely free from synthetic preservatives which is a huge plus for me. This facial moisturiser is housed in a plastic white tube, so you can hygienically dispense the desired amount of product each time. Every morning I’ve been using about two pearl-sized amounts of this lightweight creamy formula to moisturise my face, neck and upper chest area. My skin feels so soft, well moisturised and instantly refreshed! The herbal scent of this facial cream is quite strong, but I do find that the scent is nice and uplifting. The scent doesn’t linger for long after application and it does dissipate over a few minutes. I really love the natural ingredients of shea butter and safflower oil formulated within this facial cream, because my sensitive skin is really benefiting from this lovely facial cream!

It’s great to see that Glow Lab have formulated a facial oil made from naturally derived ingredients that mimics the effect and benefits of Retinol. This facial booster oil contains naturally derived ingredient Bakuchiol and my skin has been tolerating this formulation very well so far. The main ingredient is sunflower seed oil which is a fantastic ingredient for dry and sensitive skin types as it helps to provide and retain skin moisture while soothing the skin simultaneously. The yellow tinted oil is housed in a glass amber bottle with a dropper applicator, so you can hygienically dispense a good amount of product as needed. After using a cleanser, clarifying toner and vitamin C serum, and before moisturiser, I’ve been applying 2-3 drops of this oil to gently pat on my face and neck. The oil slowly penetrates my skin like with most other facial oils I’ve used, however, this particular oil leaves only a slight bit of shine to my complexion and makes my skin feel velvety smooth and supple! Sometimes, I would also mix the oil together with my night moisturiser, so my skin doesn’t feel too oily. After using this oil daily in the PM for straight 2 weeks, my skin feels lovely, deeply nourished and so well hydrated. I am very impressed with this facial oil and will continue to incorporate this product in my skin care routine.
