Let me preface this review by saying I absolutely love Synergie products! They are the most effective skin series I have used on my combination skin. For me a sunscreen needs to be light, non-sticky, long lasting and shine resistant (I'm not an easy customer). This ticks all the boxes while staying put under my makeup for the entire day. My skin tends to be very oily on the nose and forehead area and during period times I'm very prone to breakouts as well! Finding a sunscreen that doesn't cause my pores to block and aggravate my breakouts has been a struggle over more than a decade until I started using Uberzinc. The packaging of this is a large cylindrical jar with a pump that gives great control over how much product you would like to disperse. The product itself spreads easily over the skin and will give a full face of coverage from roughly a pea size amount. It is light enough to not feel noticeable but thick enough to feel like it's giving you physical coverage while blending easily into your skin and not sitting like a heavy layer on top. I cannot emphasise how comfortable this feels to wear on it's own or underneath makeup all day. You get a fairly large amount that usually lasts me at least several months with daily use. While this product is not cheap, for how great it feels and lasts it is well worth the price tag, especially when it comes to sun protection! Going back to other face sunscreens I notice a big difference and I will be sticking with this product as long as it's available.

Thanks BH for a great product within a great range from Manicare to trial! I was given the opportunity to trial this foot file in line with the callus remover and exfoliating 'softroc' and found the whole range so easy to use. The file is in a paddle form, similar to the callus remover and has an easy grip handle that makes filing a breeze. The filing area is broad and provides plenty of surface area to cover whatever rough spots you think need softening but not strong abrasive removal. This would be middle of the range in terms of callus removal and softening and is easy enough to use every day. I used this every few days as I found the exfoliator was generally enough to maintain my skin but for those with medium-tough skin this in combination with the callus remover would be perfect! After a few weeks of use this file doesn't seem to have worn down so I think this product would last for a long time which is a bonus considering how well priced it is! Would purchase again

Thanks to BH for another stellar product to review! This product was used in conjunction with the Manicare SoftRoc and File on the tough spots of my heels. The remover comes in a paddle shape with a nice handle to grip during use and the head almost resembles a mini vegetable grater. What I liked most about the product was the plastic casing which caught any shavings as you drag it across your skin to remove those tough calluses. I was worried this might be a little too sharp but as long as you gently pull it across your skin this product is super safe to use. This was the strongest grade of the three products in this foot range and was so satisfying to use, I would definitely recommend this if you have tough callouses or rough spots in your knees or heels. My heels felt so soft and smooth after using this. I'll be using this from now on roughly once a week after showers and would buy again!

A big thank you to Beautyheaven for another awesome product range to trial! I received this Exfoliator to be used in conjunction with the Manicare callus file and remover. This exfoliator comes in a hand sized rock shape that is easy to hold and grip while softening those pesky rough spots. I found it so easy to use and a nice roughness that didn't feel too hard or damaging to my skin. This product easily handled any medium rough spots with a gentle buffing action that makes it suitable for anyone and everyone! I used this exfoliator every few days after my shower so that my skin was a little softer and easier to buff. It left my skin feeling soft and baby smooth in no time at all. I would definitely recommend this to those with some semi rough areas. For the tougher calluses the other two products in the range were super effective when used in conjunction with this exfoliator.

This set was a surprise addition received from BH along with some other Nude By Nature products I reviewed and loved. (Thankyou!) Let me start by saying I do not normally purchase these kind of sets as I am quite fussy with the types of products I use for each step in my routine and skin tone can be a difficult one with these sets also. Off the bat, I loved the packaging of this set. It came in a cute little zip around rectangular travel case which I will probably be using long after the products are finished. Each product within the set is in matching rose gold casing that looks super classy and professional. This comes with mineral liquid primer (loved the fresh green scent of this), mineral loose powder foundation, mineral flat top brush, liquid concealer, finishing powder and loose powder bronzer (non glittery LOVED IT). The colour of the mineral foundation (medium) was just a little too dark for me, but the finish and longevity of it when used in combination with the other products in the set was beautiful! My main qualm I had was that the concealer comes in a small tube which I found difficult to control the amount you want to come out of it and as a result I ended up squeezing out too much each time. The coverage for this concealer is quite impressive though and I would buy it again if the full size has easier to control packaging (this one is tiny and maybe my fingers were too clumsy for it?) Overall, each product in this set is great on it's own and as a set they work really well together. Perfect for travel and to keep your skin looking smooth and polished all day. These give medium to full coverage with at least 8-12 hour staying power in a matte finish. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you BH for another trial team opportunity! This was my first Nude By Nature product and I'm stoked it was lipstick. The packaging for this is a beautiful thin rose gold casing and there is a matching lip liner which I will review separately (it was great). I had the pleasure of receiving the colour #03 Rose Quartz. Application was a breeze with the thin stick making it easy to see and apply accurately across the lips. The scent reminded me of Lipsmackers from my teenage days, a little sweet but not too strong. The product runs across the lips easily for a smooth application and full coverage is achieved in 2 coats . The finish comes across as creamy matte and feels super comfortable and moisturising. While this is a meant to be a matte finish product, I felt it was a little more creamy than completely matte which is not a huge deal, but if you are looking for a complete dry velvet matte this may not be for you. I did notice because it was a creamier consistency, this tended to transfer quite a bit when eating and drinking. This stayed on roughly 4 hours through but not much longer so would require reapplication if you're planning to wear it for the day. I'd love to try all the colours in this range as I really liked how comfortable and moisturising this lipstick was!

Thanks BH for another awesome product to review! I've used Micellar Water before and have found it ok for makeup removal but never really loved them. This one by Garnier comes in a nice, large clear bottle which is bigger than some of the other comparative products on the market (more bang for your buck) The product itself is as the name describes, milky! It dispenses quickly enough from the bottle however you can see it is a little thicker from the time it takes to absorb on a cotton makeup remover pad. Using this on my face felt refreshing and cooling, especially after a long day! This was able to gently pull off most of my makeup with ease and left my skin feeling soft and moisturised. There was no strong scent noted and minimal mess. For heavy eye makeup I still had to use a second round of my oil based cleanser but this is the same no matter what Micellar water or makeup remover I use on my face so no points lost there!

I have previously used Maybelline Hypersharp Wing Eyeliner and loved it's pigmentation and staying power. This liquid eyeliner is very similar in it's packaging and style so I was very keen to try it out (thanks BH!) This eyeliner comes in pen format with a medium sized felt tip to achieve a sharp precise wing tip point. I found this to be the easiest to use for me as I have a tendency to press to hard when using liquid eyeliner brushes and messing up the angle I want so the pen makes it nice and easy to control to achieve a sharp wing tip. The formulation, while not the darkest black pigment, is buildable and lasts well over 16 hours without smudging. I loved how easy it was to use and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a liquid eyeliner to help achieve sharp lines that last!

Once again thanks to Beautyheaven for another awesome trial product! I normally don't purchase bright eye palettes as I prefer to stick to neutral and safe colours that I can wear with everything day to night. Receiving this palette I was a little nervous wondering how the colours would go with my outfits and style. At first look this palette is neat, cute and has a great range of colours ranging from neutral to bright. The shadows have a light lemon citrus smell which I liked as it was just a hint and not too powerful. The powders applied with a fairly decent amount of pigment that was quite buildable and they blended with ease. I tried out several different looks that lasted through 12+ hour days and even experimented with the yellow, pink and orange. These brighter colours actually worked really well with my medium olive skin tone and didn't clash at all. I particularly liked the orange surprisingly! The only reason I didn't give these powders 5 stars is that they tended to be a little dry if I didn't moisturise or use enough eye cream beforehand and there was a little bit of fallout during application which always annoys me. Otherwise a fantastic product with awesome colours that lasted ages. Thanks Maybelline!

I picked up this eyeliner on a recommendation from a friend and was super impressed with it from the start. This liquid eyeliner comes in pen format with a pointed felt tip at the end which I prefer over the brushes that can tend to fray after use or if you don't put the lid back on correctly. Getting a nice pointy wing with this is fairly easy and the tip is actually quite versatile if you want a thicker or thinner line as it has a unique tip that is thicker on one edge than another (it will make sense when you look at it!). The eyeliner itself comes out very nicely pigmented and dries in only a few seconds if that. Most days my makeup will stay on for a minimum of 12 hours and this will barely smudge or fade until I go to remove it with makeup remover! Very impressive. If the tip of this was a little finer I would give this 5 stars, as sometimes I find it hard to get a reeeally fine point and it requires a very light steady hand if you are trying to do this. Otherwise, a fantastic liquid eyeliner that is relatively cheap for it's quality and staying power!
