The Revlon Illuminance Moisturise plus Primer is a good moisturising primer. It does a good job of moisturising the skin and priming it for longer lasting makeup prior to make-up application. I personally find it to be quite heavily scented which I'm not a fan of (hence the 4 star review) and I also use my normal daytime moisturiser prior to applying this. It does a good job of priming the skin but I have used other more affordable products than this that do as good if not better than this. It's smooth to apply but a little irritating to my sensitive skin (I think this may be the perfume it contains) as I mentioned before it is quite heavily scented. If you don't mind a scented product you probably would like this especially if you want a two in one product that moisturises as well. I personally wouldn't buy it again due to the scent and the fact it did irritate my skin a little.

One bottle of this super hydrating hyaluronic acid serum lasts a long time. A few pumps of this is more than enough. Leaves my mature sensitive skin soft and plump with the multiple types of hyaluronic acid it contains. Hubby has even used it on his extremely dry skin on occasion. The large size of the bottle makes this a economical buy. Even better when you can get it on sale from places like Priceline or Chemist Warehouse. This lotion is non sticky and absorbs easily into the skin. Like a big glass of water for your skin.

For a long lasting setting spray with amazing longevity that will perform exceptionally well through sweat and everyday wear that is also waterproof you can't go past the L'Oréal Infallible setting spray. Be sure to breathe in when spraying and spray around 30cm or so from your face with eyes closed as it is like a hairspray. Feels tacky at first but dries down very quickly. You don't need a lot of product either so one can of this lasts me ages. Gives a more matte finish to makeup so if your after a dewy finish this may not be for you. Only downside is that it can feel like your applying hairspray to your face but if you can handle that and you want a long lasting reliable and affordable setting spray you'll love this. Regularly on sale at Priceline or Chemist Warehouse too for half price, around $15 so great value.

The new Esmi butter cleansing balm is a great addition to my skincare routine. I use this as the first cleansing method in my pm skincare routine and follow up with the Esmi probiotic cleanser. The balm has an ingenious twist top applicator to dispense the balm which is cleaner and easier as you don't waste product. The balm is silky smooth, applies beautifully to the skin and is good at removing makeup including waterproof mascara. Not heavily scented and great for sensitive skin. Also available in a refill that you can attach to the original balm twist top container. Doesn't leave my dry sensitive mature skin feeling dry or itchy after application. Would recommend if you like a buttery cleansing balm with no added nasties that is Australian made and won't irritate your skin.

Purchased on sale at Big W. Available in two shades. I purchased the pearl shade which gives a nice all over glow. The formula looks quite shiny when you first apply it to the skin but once blended gives a subtle glow. I find that a little goes a long way though someone be tempted to go overboard with this skin serum. I love the fact that it contains hyaluronic acid and is natural and Australian made. I apply my usual Esmi Skin hyaluronic acid serum prior to this also, you can never have enough of this skin plumping hydrating powerhouse ingredient right? 😁 I mix The Kind Collective Miracle Glow serum in with my BB cream or I wear it alone. I have sensitive skin and have not had any reaction to this serum.

I purchased the Bondi Sands SPF facial moisturiser as I was curious to see if it was as good as their body sunscreens. I purchased it on special so only paid half the recommended retail price. I like the fact it is vegan and paraben free. The packaging is nice and colourful and easy to apply. I was however surprised that it was tinted. As I have a medium skin tone I didn't find this too bad but I don't think it would suit anyone with fair or very pale skin. I would have preferred if it wasnt tinted. It is also a fairly small size tube and with regular use it wouldn't last that long. I wouldn't pay the full retail price for it but for the price I paid it was okay. Not too thick and easily absorbed into the skin.
