I'm not new to mineral makeup and it was actually the first type of foundation I used. My first and still-favourite brush is a kabuki. But sadly, I've never found one that works for me. It could be products, but since a lot of others seem to enjoy this one, I'm led to believe maybe it's just that my combination skin doesn't work very well with it. My issues with mineral makeup are 1. staying power/coverage and 2. too drying on skin. This one was more of the usual. I gave it one last try this morning; moisturised well before I used it, tried building up more layers. I had to use a bit of my usual foundation anyway in the end to give me the coverage on certain areas I need. I didn't have the issues with dispensing the product that others did, but I did feel like the container was a bit cheap-feeling. Something in the plastic around the cap being kinda thin/not closing all that well. Overall this product does not give me the coverage I need, and is a bit drying (though I've used worse in that area). I received a jar during the Beautyheaven Natural Month event. Thanks, bh. :)

I really wanted to like this product, but I had issues with using it in the shower. The oil is clear so it was hard for me to tell how much of it I had actually dispensed, especially in the shower. It felt like a very very light oil going on in the shower, and not very cleansing or hydrating for me. This product has rosehip, sweet almond, grapeseed, papaya, and sunflower oils. It does have POLYGLYCERYL-3 CAPRYLATE, a surfactant. Which means I probably shouldn't use it as a moisturising oil, and explains why it gets a little sticky after application on dry skin. I might try using it with a facecloth instead, but I don't usually use those so it's a bit of a pain. I received a bottle during the Beautyheaven Natural Month event. Thanks, bh. :)

I know a lot of people like/don't mind the taste, but it kinda bugged me. It also tends to have a bit of sediment at the bottom which is kinda ick. As such, I don't really like this. It's also pretty hard to tell if it has had any effect. Like someone says, if it were a capsule, I might be more inclined to take it. That said, for someone who drinks smoothies or yoghurts or something that this would dissolve easily in, it might be less of a chore. Also too expensive for me.

I'm always after a good night moisturiser and this ticks the boxes. Not too light or too heavy, applies and absorbs easily, Natural ingredients. I did feel like the scent was a bit overly-floral but I don't really mind it. Not a great fan of the pop-cap tube, though. I would prefer a pump or even a jar. (I know, people don't say jars are hygienic but eh, I've never had any issues.) I always feel like I have to squeeze a bit before the product begins dispensing. Minor gripe, though! I received a tube during the Beautyheaven Natural Month event. Thanks, bh. :)

I have to confess that when I received these, I had the awful thought they might be like the nasty thing restaurant wipes, because they were in a similar kind of foil-paper packaging. Which, incidentally, I feel like is typical Vagisil and sort of dated. Pleasantly surprised to find that they were thicker than expected. I can't really comment on the efficacy of the anti-itchiness since I used it as a normal wipe, but it was a pretty good level of moisture, which is great on a wipe. Overall a pretty good wipe. I received a sample with my Beautorium items. Thanks, bh. :)

Ok, let's be fair, girls. The only thing that will probably work for my dark circles is probably sleeping more. ^^" I know I don't sleep enough! So expecting it to work miracles was probably too much to ask. I don't really get puffiness, just a little darkness. I do find the area under my eye a bit sensitive sometimes. I applied this cream for about two weeks to begin with, then stopped a bit. (Because of laziness) It feels a little tingly where I just applied it. Could be me/the weather/who knows, but at least it absorbs well and is pretty light, which is more than I can say for some of the other eye creams I've tried! I've used a few eye creams in a tube but found this one surprisingly easy to apply directly, using the nozzle as an applicator. (And a finger to then apply) It had the right amount of coolness so you could tell how much was going on, and it didn't end up squeezing a huge amount out either. Though it's fragrance-free (fantastic), there is a bit of scent that is nice. Pros: * Absorbed well. Cons: * Too expensive * Didn't really work for my dark circles. I received a tube with my Beautorium items. Thanks, bh. :)

So imagine my surprise when I opened up this page and realised this is a MOISTURISER and people have been using it generally on their face! I read the jar -- 'micro-sculpting' 'massage a small amount on the face and neck' and literally took small amount to mean a tiny amount that I only applied on my laugh lines. Pros: * Applies really smoothly. * I'm probably weird but unlike almost everyone else (and it did not smell like apples to me.. :O), I didn't mind the fragrance. It actually smells rather Olay to me. However, do note that I did apply a small amount. If I went any more, or if I were to apply this over my whole face, I would probably not appreciate the scent... But if you look at the amount that is sold at rrp -- $48 for 48g, it kinda implies they don't want people to use too much either....eh... * A little goes a long way. * Fairly moisturising. Cons: * Doesn't really have any visible effect on my laugh lines. That said, I didn't apply that much. As such, I would not be banking anything on the * Way too expensive. I would not purchase it at this price point for use as a daily moisturiser. For a spot moisturiser, I would not mind using it, though the effects are so-so. Maybe for places that need some extra hydration. I received a 14g jar with my Beautorium items. Thanks, bh. :)

This comes in a Dettol-like colour, not much smell though. Cleanses pretty alright, and washes off pretty easily with little residue. I had a few cleansers in the shower at one point and this one I finished using first, which is probably indicative of how much I liked it. :) However, I don't have acne nowadays so not sure if I'd buy it again.

Helps to perk up my skin, and keep it feeling soft and smooth throughout the day.

I practically swear by this one, and it hasn't let me down yet. Very moisturising indeed.
