I was lucky to be invited to the Best in Beauty 2025 Awards and received this shampoo from the event. I’ve been using the Thanks to Nature Hydrate & Nourish Shampoo with Abyssinian Oil, for a little while and quite like it. The scent is beautiful fresh, soft, and calming and I absolutely love how it smells in the shower and while washing but the fragrance doesn’t stick around once my hair dries which is shame! The shampoo lathers nicely and cleans the scalp well without stripping it, and it leaves my hair feeling light and refreshed. It adds a gentle boost of hydration and works well with the matching conditioner to keep hair looking healthy. My only downside is that the scent fades quickly and the hydration is more on the mild-to-moderate side rather than deeply nourishing. Still, it’s a good everyday shampoo that keeps my hair feeling clean and balanced with a lovely wash-time scent.

I was lucky to be invited to the Best in Beauty 2025 Awards and received this conditioner from the event. I’ve been using the Thanks to Nature Hydrate & Nourish Conditioner with Abyssinian Oil, and overall, it’s a really nice moisture-boosting conditioner. The formula feels rich without being heavy, and it works well to soften my hair and add hydration without weighing it down. My hair feels smoother, easier to detangle, and has a healthier shine after rinsing. I like that it includes ingredients like Abyssinian Oil and Shea Butter which has helped with dryness and frizz control. The smell is delicate and sweet while washing which I love but it doesn't keep your hair smelling unfortunatlye! For the price and results, it’s a solid conditioner that keeps my hair feeling nourished and healthy.

I received the Dermal Therapy Overnight Face Repair Cream at the Best in Beauty 2025 Awards and have been using it nightly (and sometimes even during the day because I love how it feels!). The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without any greasy residue, leaving my skin soft, supple, and nourished. I really like the scent too (even if my kids don’t) it feels revitalising and clean. It’s definitely helped my skin look more hydrated and refreshed. With ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides, it really does help restore and plump the skin while you sleep. I can see this becoming a staple in my routine for keeping my complexion smooth and healthy-looking!

I received the Maybelline New York Lifter Stix in shade #45 at the Best in Beauty 2025 Awards and have been using it mainly for contouring. I absolutely love the colour it’s the perfect tone for adding definition without looking harsh, and it really helps my face look snatched and sculpted. This is the first time I have tried a contour so I'm very happy with it! The creamy texture glides on smoothly and blends easily with either fingers or a brush, giving a natural finish that’s easy to build up. I also like that it feels lightweight and doesn’t go patchy throughout the day. Overall, it’s a great multi-use stick that makes contouring quick and effortless. I’ll definitely keep this one in my routine and will continue with contour

I received the JUSTICE Professional Marine Beauty Scalp Scrub from the Best in Beauty 2025 Awards and was really hoping to love it, especially since I like the idea of exfoliating the scalp for healthier hair growth. Unfortunately, this just didn’t work for me. I found the texture very thick and hard to apply or spread evenly across my scalp and it wasn’t easy to massage and actually scrub around once applied. It felt more like clay mixed with a heavy exfoliant, and I struggled to rinse it out properly as well. After using my hair felt dirty and coated rather than clean or refreshed. I do appreciate the sustainable packaging made from 30% ocean waste plastic and that it’s made in Australia, but overall, I didn’t enjoy using this product and wouldn’t buy.

I received this body wash as part of the Best in Beauty 2025 Awards and was really looking forward to trying it. The first thing I noticed was that the pop lid isn’t very sturdy, mine leaked in the bag on the way home, so I’d recommend keeping it separate if you’re carrying it around. As someone who loves sweet almond and vanilla scents, I had high hopes, but this wash didn’t quite deliver. The fragrance is much lighter than expected and doesn’t linger on the skin after showering. I also didn’t find it left my skin feeling particularly soft or nourished, which was disappointing given the product’s claims. Overall, it’s okay but nothing special I probably wouldn’t purchase it myself.

This was probably one of my favourite products I received at the Best in Beauty 2025 Awards. I love the colour of the bottle being pink & looks classy. The bottle is glass with a dropped & you don’t need much as a little does go a long way. My face as been terrible this winter so really needs some hydration, and this was just the thing for it! Since using my skin feels plumper and so hydrated and refreshed. It absorbs well and is lightweight but you can feel the moisture & nourishment after applying. Absolutely love it! I feel like my face looks so much healthier & gives me my glow back which I was missing! My skin looked tired & dull, and this has improved it. Will be keeping an eye on any sales when this comes up.

Another product I was lucky to get from the Best in Beauty 2025 Awards. I love lip balms so always get excited when I get a new one. Firstly, I love the colour of the packaging makes me feel like it is lippy due to the warm rose type colour sticker. The lip balm glides on very easily and make my lips feel soft & hydrated. I don't think it is very tinted personally, it says softly tinted but I don’t notice the tint at all I think it only adds just a bit of a shine as the colour is exactly the same as my lips if there is a tint I really can't tell – I even tried applying over & over to see if the colour would change but it was just more of a shine to be honest It’d doesn't stay on for ages but even after it does rub off your lips still feel hydrated & soft so not something I feel you need to keep reapplying all the time as the moisture is enough.

I got this hand cream from the Best in Beauty 2025 Awards & love it. This past winter has been really horrible and my skin has really suffered from it and been quite dry so this came at perfect timing! My hands have been very dry lately & my skin in general so took the opportunity to use this as soon as I received it - not only on my hands but my heels, elbows and even legs to try get some moisture back! It feels quite lightweight & I’ve found it does absorb quickly, and you can feel the hydration as soon as you apply it. I know it says for hands, but I personally think its perfect for any dry area on your body (don’t think I would use on my face but anywhere else!!). I’ve lathered on my feed & applied socks & it’s helped my heels get soft again and my hands are now also feeling moisturised & back to normal – no longer dry & itchy this cream has really helped. If there’s one thing I don’t like is the packaging! It appears very manly in my opinion and I’m sure lots of people would probably bypass thinking its for men but not the case at all!

I was lucky to get from the Best in Beauty 2025 Awards in the colour 02 Warm Rose. I wasn't sure what to expect as never used blush drops before but I was impressed. I love the packaging I think it's so cute & compact with the gold lid makes it pop & look elegant. The warm rose colour I had chosen was perfect and blends in quite well. A little goes a long way so don't need to apply a lot & gives a beautiful finish that looks natural and not too over the top. I dab it in with my fingers a little & then blend a bit more with the a blush brush just to even it out and not have a ‘line’ of blush on my face.
