You say: “It didn’t give me complete coverage, but as someone who usually only wants something medium coverage anyway, that was not a problem. I liked the texture of the cream and was impressed by how non-drying it was on my dry, sensitive skin.” – bh member, Stickyskip

“I love the fact that is has an SPF20+ – very useful here in Perth. The formula did not crease throughout the day. My skin felt quite hydrated, too.” – bh member, Shaper

Ottoman3 Brow Pencil

We say: Ottoman3 Brow Pencil is a must-try for those who covet soft, natural looking brows. A hybrid between a powder and a pencil, the product is designed to glide onto skin with a powder finish, giving just enough definition without making your caterpillars look too prominent – perfect for everyday!

Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Hydra Marine Nourishing Oil

We say: It’s no secret that beautyheaven members adore a multipurpose product, so Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Hydra Marine Nourishing Oil was sure to be a big hit with our DB’ers. Suitable for the face, hair and body, the multipurpose dry oil contains Moroccan argan oil, sesame seed oil and apricot kernel oil to leave the skin and hair supple and soft. The best part? It’s also formulated to be lightweight and non-greasy.

“I tried this oil on my arms and legs after stepping out of the shower, when my body was still slightly damp. Like magic, it disappeared into my skin leaving it feeling so soft and hydrated.” – bh member, Shaper

Natralus Essential Paw Paw Lip Balm

We say: Natralus Essential Paw Paw Lip Balm won’t just help to provide a barrier against the harsh winter weather – it’s also formulated to help relieve and soothe dryness, leaving your lips feeling softer and nourished. With more than double the Carica papaya (paw paw) compared with most other paw paw ointments in Australia, it’s a game changer for parched pouts.

“I can wear this balm for three hours before I feel the need for reapplication. It has medium glossiness which subdues within an hour. By the afternoon my lips were SO soft and completely healed. It does what it claims!” – bh member, makeupcatxo

JUSTICE Professional Curl Créme

We say: Formulated with a sweet citrus fragrance, JUSTICE Professional Curl Créme is a must for curly-haired girls. The medium-hold formula contains panthenol and keratin for added moisture and shine, and also promotes structure and volume. The end result? Frizz-free, defined curls with beautiful bounce and movement.

“I have always struggled with managing my thick, curly hair. [With this product], I could definitely notice a difference with the smoothness of my hair and it definitely combated a lot of my frizz! The end result was a very smooth, sleek looking head of hair.” – bh member, Directioner_Forever2223

Juliette Armand Nourishing Night Cream

We say: Juliette Armand Nourishing Night Cream is an anti-ageing night cream containing vitamin A, vitamin E and concentrated retinol that is formulated to penetrate the skin for more effective cellular nourishment. Designed to help prevent the damage and degeneration of the skin’s collagen and elastin fibres, it helps to prevent the development of new wrinkles, as well as smooth existing ones.

You say: “It goes onto your skin beautifully, absorbs well and leaves your skin feeling soft and lovely… not heavy as some night creams are. It has a nice smell which does not linger too long but is pleasant.” – bh member, Shaper
