I haven't used a sheet mark before, so I was interested to see how this would go. The packaging is attractive and easy to tear open - however I did notice that the mask had started to peel away from the protective backing layer. I did my best to try and separate everything but some section did tear slightly. The mask is quite wet and slippery so I would suggest applying over the sink. The holes for eyes/mouth are quite large which is good, and it sticks onto the skin well. While I was relaxing for the 5 minutes, the mask did stay in place pretty well without shifting. It was easy to remove. There was quite a lot of residual moisturiser left which felt sticky so I did pat my face down with a towel. The rest of it I massaged in. I did notice my skin seemed more hydrated and felt a bit plumper afterwards. I think this is a good product for those who feel they don't need to use serums regularly.

I am generally not a huge fan of face masks as they are time consuming and annoying to wash off. This product is neither of those things! It comes packaged in a tube with a clasp lid. The mask is light green in colour and has the standard pleasant Nivea scent. It spreads easily across the skin and because it only sits for a minute, it doesn't harden. It washes off easily (I've been using it in the shower) without leaving any residue, and I've found my skin feels refreshed and hydrated after use. A lot of products cause my skin to feel dry and tight after use, but this didn't. I have been able to skip using moisturiser even. As a result, from using it regularly over a week or so I did notice my skin felt less drier and smoother. I found this was a great benefit as my skin suffers a lot in winter and becomes flakey, so this helped with that. I also found that by improving the hydration of my skin, my makeup applied much more evenly. Overall I think this is a great buy and I will continue to use it :)

I am not a huge fan of makeup removers/wipes as I do often find they find a residue. However, I was pleasantly surprised with this product. The bottle is sturdy with a screw on lid, and you squeeze to dispense the liquid onto a cotton pad. It's a clear liquid but has a tint of dark purple to it which is really pretty! I find that only a small amount is necessary to remove all my makeup including eye makeup. It did not sting my skin or my eyes - some makeup removers do cause my eyes to sting and water so this was great. After use, I found that my skin did not feel dried out (which sometimes happens) and amazingly - no residue! I think this will be my go-to product after a late night out or when I'm too lazy. I won't be purchasing makeup wipes anymore because I found this product to be much more effective.

Firstly, I found the packaging really attractive - a purple tube with shiny letters. This is something that would catch my eye if I saw it in store. I found the instructions a little confusing at first but it eventually made sense. It says to use the winged (I interpreted this as the smaller end) side first, then the curved end for the full wing effect. The formula is great - it's not too 'wet' or clumpy and applies smoothly. The brush is easy to use once you get the hang of the instructions. I found that it adds a really decent amount of curve to my lashes and opens them up. It did add a bit of thickness too but not a lot. I have fairly thick lashes anyway so this wasn't an issue for me. It dried quick so no issues with smudging. It held up well throughout the day and I didn't notice any flaking. Removal was easy as well. Overall I think this is a great offering from Rimmel and is a great staple mascara.

The packaging of this product is fairly simple - a clear plastic lid, but its sturdy enough. I have been using my Real Techniques brush to lightly dust this across my cheekbones and wowza - I'm amazed! The powder is silky and glides across my skin so easily. Its also super pigmented - just a small amount is needed and you'll have gorgeous glowing skin! I love the stunning gold colour, its very flattering on my Indian toned skin. This is an amazing highlighter to use for a night out, and I've found it lasts all night without fading. The only bad thing I noticed is that when I tried to dust some more on for extra effect, it did go a little patchy but was easily fixed by using my finger to blend. While I do love how intense and gorgeous it is, I reserve this for weekend use, as it might be just a tad too shimmery for my corporate workplace. If this was a blind trial, I honestly would have thought that this was a high end highlighter like MAC. In fact, I'm almost annoyed at myself that I own two MAC highlighters when this product is on par at a fraction of the price.

I have never used a foundation with this sort of consistency, as I've always stuck to the traditional liquid forms, so I was excited to try this. The packaging is compact and secure - a great handbag addition as the lid is sturdy so theres less risk of making a mess. On opening the compact, there are two layers - the top contains the sponge and the second layer is the product. The foundation is very light and easy to apply. It doesn't feel cakey or heavy, and its easy to blend. I would say it builds up to medium coverage, and it has a bit of a dewey finish I have worn this for a typical work day and it has fared well. It has also held up quite well through a sweaty gym session which is pretty impressive. It does become a bit more dewey throughout the course of the day, but I haven't felt the need to reapply. I am taking one star off because of the sponge - I find that it doesn't apply as well as the beauty blender that I use with liquid foundations. Application tends to be a bit more cakey with the provided sponge. Overall I think this is a very good foundation that I would recommend to those who are looking for a new foundation

The conditioner comes in a gorgeous shiny bottle and has a similar thick consistency to the shampoo. It smells amazing and is easy to apply. I find only a small amount is needed as it spreads quite easily. I leave it on for about 3 mins and it leaves my hair feeling super smooth after washing. After my hair has dried, it looks shiny and soft. My hair is on the dry/damaged size (split ends galore) so this was a huge bonus. Because of the dryness, it does not hold its natural wave that well, but I found after using this combo it actually looked nice and wavy instead of the usual frizzy mess. I feel that this conditioner has actually made my hair look a lot better and has given me hope again. After a few weeks I’ll be able to tell how well it agrees with my coloured hair and this will give me a better idea of whether I will continue using this long term.

On first impressions, I thought the bottle was quite compact and a good size for the shower. Initially the lid on the shampoo confused me as I thought it was one that you push in, which allows the dispenser to pop out, but it is actually a clasp lid that opens up. The shampoo itself is thick and creamy. It smells lovely – sweet and fruity. It is not too overpowering. It lathers well into a good consistency that I find isn’t excessively foamy/soapy which is good because I find those types of shampoos too drying. It washes easily and leaves my hair feeling clean without being that dry squeaky clean. I find the fragrance does linger for a few hours after my hair is washed. As for colour protection – its probably a bit too early to judge! I actually had my colour redone just before I started this trial so if I continue using it throughout the 8 weeks that I go between appointments, that will give me a better idea of how well it locks in colour. When I washed, I noticed that the same amount of colour came out of my hair as would with other shampoos.

On first impressions, I thought the packaging seemed very compact, lightweight and portable. The lid is sturdy and secure. Upon opening, there is a small opening at the end of the tube. This allows a decent amount to be dispensed without any overflow. The primer does have a noticeable sunscreen-like smell. This doesn't bother me too much but it makes me wonder what is in it. It is fairly thick and does take some rubbing to blend it into the skin. My skin feels slightly tacky after application which makes me think it will help to hold my foundation. Other makeup can be applied easily over the primer. No major concerns here. In terms of longevity - there is none. I did not find that it helped my makeup stay on longer at all. I tried with different foundations and no luck. I guess the only way this could be used is if it were being taken away on holidays as part of a travel makeup bag if space is limited, as the packaging is the only thing I liked about this product unfortunately.

As my skin has a yellow tone to it, I sometimes struggle with a shade match. This foundation has an excellent range, and has allowed me to find an exact match! The packaging is okay, it has a pump which is hygienic but I find the lid a little flimsy, and it also does collect foundation which can make it look a little messy. The foundation is quite liquid-y, and easy to blend into the skin. I generally apply with my fingers and I can layer over areas that need a little more coverage for redness/blemishes. It looks very natural, not cakey and feels light weight. As for the finish, it is somewhere in between dewey and matte. This is perfect for me. In terms of longevity, it will last me through a 10 hour day with no need for primer or powder. That is quite impressive. Overall, a great foundation that I will be using for a long time.
