I was fortunate to be invited to trial two new face products from Nivea. I tried both the Nivea Naturally Good Anti-Age Day Cream and Nivea Naturally Good Anti Age Night Cream. It comes in a floral box similar to the day cream but the foreground colour is blue. It states it's with Organic Burdock Extract and Argan Oil. 99% of Natural Origin and 1% Additional Ingredients. The cream it self comes in a nice coloured dark blue tub with a screw on lid. The cream is 50ml and the tub is very light weight as it's made of plastic. I trialled the night cream (with the day cream) for about a month. The cream it serlf is a very thin like cream unlike many other brands which seems thicker and smell and feel luxurious. The Nivea cream did not absorb well, did not feel hydrated on my skin after using it and made no difference to my skin.

I was fortunate to be selected to do a trial with two Nivea skin age products. One being the Naturally Good Anti-Age Day Cream and the Naturally Good Anti-Age Night Cream. The day cream comes in a pretty box with flowers and gold foreground describing the product. It states 'Organic Burdock Extract" which personally I have no idea what it is, then states it's 99% of Natural Origin and 1% Additional Ingredients. It's for all skin types. The actual day cream comes in a little plastic tub with a screw on lid. It contains 50ml so it's light weight and will easily fit in your toiletries bag without taking much space or weight. I found the day cream to be a very thin like cream. It took a fair bit to apply on my neck and face. As I was applying it it seemed like I never had enough and also it didn't seem to feel hydrated, soft or anything. I will not continue using the cream now that the trial is over. I

I was very fortunate to be able to trial Boost Lab Vitamin B3 Blemish Rescue Serum as well as Boot Lab AHA Glow Resurfacing Serum. The blemish serum comes in a small glass bottle with a dropper lid. The serum is quite deceiving in a wonderful way as when you first use it and put that first droplet on your hand ready to use you automatically think it's going to be a thick greasy liquid but alas it's not. It's a thick clear liquid that only needs a few drops to glide on to your face, it absorbs almost immediately. I used the Blemish Rescue Serum daily in the morning, you are then able to apply your regular face cream and or sunscreen. I can honestly say I don't have too many blemishes but the one that I've been able to get rid of is on the side of my nose. I have squeezed the living daylights out of it but it returns each time, after about two weeks of using the serum it started to shrink. I've tried many products, had many facials but nothing helped until now. For me this is a miracle worker and will recommend to anyone that will listen

I was very fortunate to trial Boost Lab AHA Glow Resurfacing Serum as well as Boost Lab Vitamin B3 Blemish Rescue Serum. Wow this is an exfoliation product like nothing before. It would be fabulous for those with sensitive skin that cannot tolerate the usual exfoliation creams. It comes in a a glass bottle with a dropper. When you first use it you automatically think it's going to be oily but you're pleasantly surprised when it's thick liquid consistency. A few drops is all that's needed and it goes on smoothly and absorbs almost instantly on your face . the bottle comes in a 30ml bottle which is small enough to put in your toiletries bag when travelling or just spending a few nights away from home. I applied the resurfacing serum each night and always woke up with lovely smooth face, within a few weeks I noticed my face was starting to glow.

The pagaing of 'Harmony My Beauty' is a plastic tub with a gold screw top lid. It's nice and lightweight yet bulky if you were to travel with it. It's a nice coloured light pink fine powder which is recommended to either take with a hot beverage like tea or coffee, juice, water or mix in yogurt. Only one teaspoon is needed and the container lasts at least a month depending on how heaped your teaspoon is. The benefits of 'Harmony M Beauty' is said to be skin hydration, reduced wrinkles glowing skin. It also promotes healthy hair and nails. After the first time I had used "harmony my beauty' in my strong espresso coffee (nespresso machine) and stirring the bejesus of my coffee to ensure it dissolves, I could taste a fishy, yucky taste. The next day I tried 3 teaspoons of nescafe espresso instant coffee hoping this would disguise the taste but no it didn't. After one week of this powder I was willing to throw it all in and claim defeat, but my wrinkles on my face won and I continued until the container finished. I can honestly say there was absolutely no difference to how my face felt and looked, but I must say my nails did become a bit stronger and I did notice I had less hair loss when doing my hair.

I was fortunate enough to trial Toni and Guy Shampoo, conditioner and hair mask. Where as I was indifferent with the Strength Plex Shampoo and Conditioner, it was a different case with the Strength Plex bond Repair Hair Mask. The first time I used it was after shampooing and conditioning my hair, then leaving it in my hair for a few minutes before rinsing off. My hair felt absolutely fantastic. It felt smooth, less frizz and a hint of shine. The second time I used it was on its own in the shower, I left in my hair for about 10 minutes. After drying my hair it felt so soft, less frizz again and shiny. What I'd like to be different is its packaging. It's so hard having a large tub with a screw top. It's too easy to get water into the tub whilst trying to get the mask onto your fingers then quickly closing it up. I would highly recommend this mask with or without the matching shampoo and conditioner.

I was fortunate enough to trial Toni and Guy, Strength Plex Bond repair conditioner. I used the conditioner after using the Toni and guy Bond Strength Shampoo. I left it in my hair for a few minutes then rinsed off. Both the shampoo and conditioner were very easy to rinse off and didn't leave a heavy build up feel as some other shampoo conditioners. As with the shampoo it has added Kakadu plum. It is a great product if you're looking for Australian native products and the conditioner as well as the shampoo have been designed and made in Australia. The conditioner container is easy to distinguish as both the Toni and Guy log as well as the word conditioner is easy to see. I liked how easy it is to open and close the the conditioner bottle with it's easy flip top. I found the conditioner no different to any other conditioners that also promise similar repairs to your hair.

I was fortunate enough to trial Toni and Guy StrnthPlex Bond Repair Shampoo. I was expecting great things from this shampoo considering it's manufactured by a well known hair stylist. It's a great marketing ply to say the salon has 50 years of experience, but sadly I'm not sure if it really helped with the promise of this shampoo. The shampoo is lightly scented with added kakadu plum. Not too sure what kakadu plum was for the scent or for the bonding of fibre that visibly repairs, strengthens and hydrates.. I like the design of the shampoo container as it's tall and slim and can easily fit into a shower caddy leaving room for other things. I also like how easy it is to see what the shampo offers without having to look for the fine print. I found the shampoo no different to other shampoos that offer similar promises.

I was fortunate enough to trial Nude by Nature Satin Liquid Lipstick. Loved the colour I trialled which was 10 Terracotta. It's not too dark and not too light. I loved the packaging with it's cute gold top and clear bottle so you can see the colour. In saying that you can see the colour through the bottle it isn't it's true colour when you put it on, it's at least a shade darker which suited me fine. I love the applicator which is form enough that you can line your lips with the the tip but supple enough to glide beautifully over your lips. The satin liquid lipstick is long lasting and only needed to be reapplied a couple of times during the day, though I am a coffee drinker and loose a lot of lippy to my coffee cup. When worn over the Nude by Nature lip primer I found it lasted longer.

let's start with the sexy, classy rose gold packaging not only does it look great but it's what inside that counts and it's another great product by Nude By Nature. I trialled the gorgeous berry colour which was a perfect colour not too dark, not too bright a great colour than can get you through from subdued day wear through to evening. Loved how it was sheer and I personally found when applied on top of the lip primer my lips felt like I actually wasn't wearing any lippy. It's long wearing, though I'm not sure if that's because I was wearing it over the Nude By Nature Lip Primer. It's a great Australian lippy made with all natural ingredients including Vitamin E Kakadu plum and mango seed butter, castor oil. It's Peta approved which is a great plus for me. G.ive it a go you won't be disappointed
