I received this as part of the trial team. I was pleasantly surprised to read the information on the box, although there is not much of that information on the actual tub so it's easy to forget what the box says. It lists out the natural ingredients and is generally very positive. I always wonder when a large brand releases a product like this - why is this a new and special thing they are testing out? Why wouldn't they just be transparent about the ingredients in all of their products and list them on the packaging in common language like this? The product itself has an interesting yoghurty texture that feels nice on the fingers but when applied to the skin I personally didn't enjoy it because it was very similar in feel to my silicone primer. It sat on top of my skin and when I later rinsed my face with water (hours later) it felt a little slimey. On this basis I would not purchase again. The moisturiser has a pleasant scent, a good price and did not irritate my skin. Try it if you are interested in natural products!

I have very fair skin so sunscreen is a must for me. However I can't stand the suffocating feel of sunscreen and the thought of putting one over a foundation is too much! So when I saw this I had hope. And l was not disappointed! The packaging is slim and it has a small ball-bearing inside to help move the product when you shake it. It has enough coverage and tint to help my skin look healthy so most days that I wear makeup I can get away with this, some concealer and a touch of powder on the too shiny spots to mattify, while letting the rest look dewy. The shine is the reason for the star off, because if it didn't go shiny I wouldn't even need powder! It does have a slight sunscreeny smell but it's not too bad and it blends and melts in pretty well. It wears well over the course of a day.

I started using this serum with the moisturiser when my partner bought them and then decided they were girly haha I started using it on my face and the stretch marks on my stomach at around 5 months post partum. I have had significant fading of my stretch marks but some of that at least could be attributed to normal post partum fading over time (I'm now 10.5 months post partum) I have been drinking a lot of water due to breastfeeding and taking collagen tablets to help my skin on my belly recover. My face is looking and feeling good, my skin texture is lovely and glowing. The dripper on the bottle is nice and the bottle itself is sturdy and good quality. The product doesn't have an overly strong scent and feels nice on the skin. It soaks in nicely and works well at night topped with the moisturiser.

I received this as part of the trial team. In the past I've only used used rich overnight creams by Olay so I was surprised to unwrap a light, generous bottle. I like the packaging although it doesn't really match the feel of their usual branding, because it's very fit for purpose. The spray is light and even, perfect for full face coverage with one spray. The bottle is a great size for travel because it's tall rather than wide so it can be shimmied down the side of most handbags and backpacks. I had a 3 day holiday to the Gold coast so I packed this and used it on the plane, whenever I felt dry or tired. Then I put it in the fridge in the gold coast so it was nice and chilled to spray on whenever I got in from outside or to hydrate my skin in the airconditioning. The scent is pleasant and not too strong, but I think I have found other facial mist scents that I enjoyed more. Overall I do really like this one and it's well designed, but it could have a more powerful scent so that it has more of an aromatherapy angle to it as well as a hydration mist.

I received this one as a member of the trial team. I'm not a huge fan of pump bottles, becasue I find them wasteful and difficult to completely empty the bottle, so I didn't love the packaging, although the look of it is perfectly nice and simple. I love that the product doesn't contain any soap, fragrance, parabens, artificial colours and alcohol because that makes it safe for infants and I have one arriving in a couple of months! I'm trying to use only natural and gentle products on my skin at the moment, so I'm very happy to have recieved this wash. I used it in the shower with a drench sponge from the body shop, which soaks it up nicely. Only a couple of pumps is needed to wash the whole body. I am yet to use it mixed in with bathwater because I haven't found time for a bath, but I'm looking forward to trying it out :) My skin was left feeling clean and fresh and ready for moisturiser. Overall, I would recommend this product and I love that it's natural - the only thing I would change is the packaging, I'd rather it be more environmentally friendly (recyclable at the very least).

I received this one as a part of the trial team. The packaging is nice and simple, although I prefer a squeeze bottle to a pump bottle because I always find it's hard to get the last bits out at the end and I don't want to waste any. It's suitable for infants as well (which is very handy because I'm 30 weeks pregnant). I'm using so much moisturiser on my belly at the moment so I'm definitely leaning towards products like this one because they're unscented and soak in quickly - if I were to use a scented lotion in this quantity all of my clothes would start smelling haha The lotion is free of parabens, alcohol and artificial dyes is also a bonus for me. I've been using this one after my showers very generously and letting it soak in before I get dressed - especially all over my belly. It doesn't feel oily or greasy and although there is a slight residue, it's not unpleasant because it just feels like a little bit of extra moisture in my skin and it stops my skin drying out from the office heating and the heating used at home. I don't have any skin irritation concerns at the moment so I haven't noticed any change there, but neither have I had a negative reaction to it in any way. Overall I would recommend this moisturiser as a product, but I would like to see more environmentally friendly packaging - it doesn't appear to be recyclable.

I received this as part of the trial team. I was very excited to receive this one because I love the idea of being able to remove my makeup without using throwaway cotton pads. I'd also heard and thought about (but never used yet) products like Halo which is also a reusable makeup remover. The appearance of the product is simple and they are nice and soft - however I was surprised at the lack of any harder edges, corners or firmer surfaces to give more control and assist with removing makeup around eyes. I followed the instructions and dampened my skin and the cloth before use - I then used it exactly as I would use my disposable cotton pads, wiping it across my brows, over my eye lids and across the base of my eyes before finding a new patch of cloth to remove foundation, powder and concealer from the rest of my face. While the cloth had a good amount of product on it by the time I was done, I did find that there was still makeup left around my eyes that wouldn't budge with the cloth so I had to use micellar water and my disposable cotton pads to finish the job. I also tried adding micellar water to the cloth but still couldn't remove everything and couldn't avoid getting it in my eye when trying to remove my eye liner. I put the cloth through the washing machine with a load of washing and when I placed it next to the new one and the used one was slightly grey. Overall I'm sorry to say I won't continue using them because I just don't feel they do the job. I will hold onto them and use them in a pinch when I've forgotten to buy more disposable ones.

I received this one as part of the trial team. I'm not really sure where the idea of silicone brush heads started and I'm also not sure why someone decided they worked better than traditional brush heads. They are ok for giving your skin a massage, but in terms of holding product and cleansing skin I really don't find them effective. Product feels like it slips and slides straight off the silicone tips as soon as you apply it to your face. So it feels like you are using the brush to nudge the product around your face rather than the brush tips holding onto it and working it into a lather to cleanse your skin. However, if you don't use it as your primary cleansing method and you're looking for more of a facial massager, it's perfectly fine. So that's what I did. The set comes with 2 silicone brush heads, one is finer and one is thicker. You can pick which one you want to use depending on how firm you want the massage to be. Thicker bristles will deliver a firmer massage. Work the brush in circles on damp skin, going away from the centre line of your face. Be sure to sweep it down your neck and under your chin as well. Rinse after use in case it has picked up any dead skin cells or makeup residue.

I received this one as part of the trial team. Having used similar products in the past that I found didn't live up to the hype, I approached this one with some hope, but also with specific things in mind to look for. The packaging was simple and understated, true to manicares brand look and feel. I was pleasantly surprised by the design of the cleansing brush. The half dome base is very comfortable to hold in the hand and has a nice feel. It's easy to grip because it is covered in silicone so there's no fear of dropping it. The on button is easy to operate and with 2 levels of speed (I always went to the second level) it has enough power to make you feel like it's really working. The charging port is where you would usually attach a brush head and it's very easy to use. It charges quickly and I've been using it for roughly a month solid with no need to recharge so far. The cleansing brush comes with a sensitive skin brush head which feels like a soft tooth brush. Honestly I like this brush head far more than the silicone ones out there because it feels like it holds my facial cleansing product better and really gets into the skin because of the fine bristles. The brush head clicks into place smoothly and easily. I first remove my makeup. Then I run the brush under water to wet it, apply the usual amount of product that I need for my entire face, dab it onto both cheeks using the brush head and then turn the brush on. I apply a small amount of pressure and move the brush in a circular motion always away from the centre of the face and not too close the eyes. I sweep it down the sides of my nose and it has no problem getting into all of the crevices and corners around my chin, nose, temples and under my chin - it handles all the curves with ease and the soft brush head feels like it's stimulating my skin without damaging it. When I'm finished (which is just when I feel my skin is thoroughly cleansed), I just rinse it under the tap while it's still running, work the bristles lightly with my hand to remove any excess product or makeup residue, and then sit it on the counter on the dome base side to dry with the cap on. Then I rinse my face off thoroughly with warm water to remove the product. There is also a little plastic brush cover the slides of the brush and protects it from damage while travelling, which I have used and it works beautifully. I have really enjoyed using this product and I can't fault it! Simple and easy to use, effective and with no unnecessary fancy gimmicks - it does what it's meant to and I can tell that manicare have done their research with this one.

I was so excited to get this one as part of the trial team, thanks BH! I haven't had any other experiences of the Foreo products. When I unboxed it I was happy with the quality of the packaging and the feel of the product, it was solid and well-protected and it felt very well-made. The product is rechargable and has no replacement parts, so while it is pretty expensive, there aren't any ongoing costs so over some time it would pay for itself. One side of the cleansing brush is covered in silicone bristles and the other is ridged and described as an anti-aging side. I applied a small amount of cleanser to my skin and activated the cleansing brush and rotated it in small circles across my cheeks and jawline before moving to my nose and forehead. I found that it was a bit difficult to get into the creases around my nose. The cleansing brush is timed so that it vibrates halfway through and then shuts off at the end - however I found that the time was far too short for a full cleanse so I usually had to restart the cleansing brush 2 or 3 times. After a cleanse and a rinse, I tried the anti-aging function, but I didn't feel it did very much and I think the brush side would do more for stimulating circulation and collagen production. I don't feel the app added much to the experience and I couldn't find any content or information on there - it didn't feel vlike it was giving tailored instructions or adjusting the settings/timing of the device at all. Overall, I think that more of these kinds of products are being invented and there will likely be some that work better for me than this one. I'm a true techy so I found it a bit disappointing because I know what it should be able to deliver and this just doesn't quite hit the mark for me!
