I picked this up during one of Priceline's cosmetic sales. This definitely makes skin feel smooth when you apply it but I feel like there's a difference between smooth matte and smooth slippy. This is more on the smooth slippy side where makeup feels like it'll slide around rather than give you that natural clear born-with-it-skin look. I think it's the silica in it but I also feel like by the end of the day, my face feels like an oil slick. As if it has helped produce more oil than I would have without the primer. It wasn't good for this oily skin but I still gave it two stars because it's probably much more suited for dry-normal skin types.

I've tried a couple of different dry shampoos in the past and haven't been too impressed, they have either left visible white bits on my black hair or left an extremely strong scent to my hair. This one was given to me by a friend to sample and I was pleasantly surprised as it did neither of those things. The smell is floral-y but not super overwhelming or fake like some tend to be. I found it super easy to use and it lives up to it's purpose in refreshing my hair without water. I'm keen to try out Batiste's coloured dry shampoos next.

The shampoo companion to this conditioner is one of my staples, the conditioner is good too but I usually have a more intensive conditioner that I'll either use or mix with this. As I tend to avoid putting conditioner to the roots of my hair, it doesn't really impact dandruff one way or the other. It's sort of a lock-that-scent-in product rather than a necessary follow-up. My hair smells great but I wouldn't rush to keep stocked up on this. I find a little goes a long way.

I unfortunately have a pretty dry scalp leading to visible dandruff throughout the day. This helps to keep the problem at bay soothing from the cause while removing buildup. I'm a big fan of lather as it helps the product go a long way, this lathers really well. I have coloured hair so even if lather dries it out some, I immediately follow up with a mask-conditioner mix to put moisture back in. I've used a lot of different products from the head and shoulders range like the original, aloe vera, 2 in 1 etc but the apple fresh is my all time favourite scent. Easily available from both supermarkets and pharmacies with infrequent sales, I'm always stocked up.

This deep restore moisturiser is marked on the richer side but I felt it was lightweight with a thin consistency that sinks into the skin reasonably quickly. I found the smell pleasant without being overwhelming. It's perfect for dry legs, easy to slather on before going out without worrying about dehydrated skin. Available at almost all pharmacies as well as supermarkets, this is super affordable, easily accessible, and pretty much a go-to winner for me. Would highly recommend.

Formula is very similar to Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch. Creates a really smooth base and feels nice and silky. Mattifys for the first few hours but my t-zone manages to start shining again by lunch. It's still less oil than no primer at all, so I would still use it. Still looking for my HG primer but this will do in the meantime!

I have tried this in Deep Violet. The colour didn't come out immediately, and faded after a week. The upside is it wasn't very damaging to my hair. The individual packaging was of a very high quality and the quality black gloves were a nice touch. I know purple is a difficult colour to achieve so I think the browns would last longer. With the quality of Olia, I would try it again despite my first try.

I have two of these, cherry and berry. They are the quintessential lipbalm. Perfect for everyday use; smooth, moisturising, long lasting and affordable. Best in beauty for a reason!

I have this in Berry Important. The brush is the standout for this nail polish, it's a perfect shape for quick and easy application. The formula is thick enough to get away with one decent layer but I usually use two for a perfect finish. It looks streaky right after application but smooths and evens out while drying. Drying time is fairly fast, the finish is nice and glossy. It's fairly pricy RRP so I would only reach for it when it's on sale. Very happy with this so far and will definitely repurchase in more colours!

Convenient, 4 in 1 tool prepping tool. Easy to use and works well. Will last for a while if you're only occasionally using it like myself. I sometimes find the shape a bit too cumbersome, could be slimmer or more ergonomic.
