I use this every day with disposable cotton makeup remover pads to wash off any makeup or sunscreen I have on before washing my face with cleanser in the shower. It works really well, especially on eye makeup if I have had an event and have heavy makeup on. I usually just soak a pad and hold it on each eye and with minimal rubbing, it all comes off well. It doesn't irritate or dry my skin out (makeup wipes used to destroy my skin for these reasons). I only have to use one pad per night unless I've got heavy makeup and then usually need two. It has no smell. If I don't do this prior to washing my face with cleanser, I don't feel like I have washed my face properly. Only downfall is that it's pricey!

This is my favourite powder foundation. It feels light to wear and I love that it has SPF in it. I find a little goes a long way and it genuinely does have good coverage to cover up pigmentation very well. It's probably light coverage when it comes to pimples though as I can't hide them well with this. It's mattfying. I have very pale skin and struggle to find foundations that don't oxidize on me and go orange. I am able to use the shade "Fair" (I do still have to blend down my neck) but I am lazy with it and it's fine. The only downside is that it is on the pricier side and I have found that if I apply too much, the texture of my skin starts to go cakey and cannot be blended but this might also be because I am applying it over a sunscreen/moisturizer and not using a primer.

I switched from Mecca To Save Face (I loved) to this for a cheaper alternative and it's great. It's cheaper for more product, the consistency is light and feels more like a moisturizer than a sunscreen, it probably has a light sunscreen smell but I admit I like that smell. It goes on easy and can be rubbed in until invisible. I use way more than recommended on my face and don't get any white marks. I put on Nude by Nature powder over the top and have no issues with it under this. It's probably not as matte as it advertises as I do look a little glowy afterwards (hence using the powder over top) and then by midday my T zone is oily but that might just be my skin and I can blot it easily enough with tissues. Doesn't break me out at all. I only get stinging in my eyes if it's a really hot day and I actively sweat, but it's minimal.

I love this cuticle cream so much and use it every night before bed. I originally bought it to help with my nails after I had acrylic nails removed and my natural nails were thin, fragile and easily damaged. I use it every night before bed and massage a small amount into each nail and around the cuticle bed. The negatives: ease of use can be difficult, as it's sometimes hard to open the tub and can be hard to get the cream out if you have long nails or are getting close to finishing the tub. It can also be very greasy so I find I can only use this right before bed and not during the day. The positives: it smells lemony which I love! It really works! My nails are so much healthier, thicker, stronger and grow longer and faster. They still break occasionally but I'm talking once every three months if I let them get too long vs once a week. My cuticles are pretty much invisible and I don't do anything to them except push them back with my nails.

I bought this with the intent to apply on top of another facial moisturiser that doesn’t seem to be moisturising enough. Almost like a slugging effect. I apply it after the other facial moisturiser has dried and after this has then dried, my skin still feels tight and dry. I have to apply a few times before bed and there are no changes. I have tried it without the other moisturiser and it just stings too much so I have gone back to applying it afterwards. It smells nice but does have a strong fragrance smell so maybe that’s what’s causing the stinging. I don’t like the container if I’m honest, I prefer pumps and things that you can keep bacteria out of easier but I did like that you could replace the cream inside with just the refills in future. Unfortunately I won’t be repurchasing this product though.

I use this after the CeraVe hydrating cleanser and unfortunately it’s not hydrating at all for my face and my skin feels tight and dry immediately after drying. I actually apply it a few times before following up with my other skincare and still feel dry. I even bought another moisturiser to apply on top at night. I will not be repurchasing. Other than that, the pump bottle is easy to use and I love that you can lock it shut when travelling. The price is good for the size of the product. The consistency feels more light and liquid like rather than a thick creamy texture but I think that’s what makes it different to the moisturising cream CeraVe offers. It doesn’t break my skin out and feels very light to apply.

I have used many lip balms and bought a few of these not long ago to bulk buy as I am constantly losing lip balms. Both the lip balms had broken within the first use - took the lid off and the lip balm was in the lid and not in the actual bottom half of the lip balm that can be twisted up and down to reveal the lip balm. The actual lip balm itself feels like it doesn't last long at all and I feel I have to reapply within half an hour. It feels nice and it's not thick feeling however would not buy again, the moisturising feel and the lip balm does not last long on the lips and the fact that both the lip balms were broken after one use is ridiculous.
