I really enjoy using this product. Initially I was concerned because I thought that being zinc oxide based that it would be too thick and cloggy. I was pleasantly surprised. The cream rubbed in really well and blended into my skin. I chose the 'light' colour but maybe in summer when I have more of a tan I will give the 'medium' tint a go. You don't need to use too much product to get even coverage over your face. The tube is a good size- small enough to fit in you handbag or beach bag- but big enough that you are getting good value for money. It comes inside a cardboard box- they could probably do without the extra packaging here. You don't need to use a lot of the cream- the tinted moisturiser goes a long way, but you do need to reapply every 2 hours if you have been swimming, sweating, or exposed to the sun.

I trialled this product as part of the Best in Beauty trial team and to be honest I was a little bit nervous! I can be quite particular about what I eat in terms of shakes, protein powders etc- I've had some revolting ones in the past! This is my first time using 'eimele' and I was pleasantly surprised. The product is a fine powder which to me is important in a meal replacement shake. I like the powder to mix well with the water so that there are no chunky bits- that is gross. So I mixed this product in my usual container with the metal shaker thing in it and it worked a treat. It actually tasted like real vanilla and not artificial like some other powders that I have had. The second sachet I mixed with some frozen fruit and yoghurt to mix it up and try something different. This kept me fuller for longer as I had the additional protein from the yoghurt. For me, meal replacement shakes are not a sustainable life choice. I think it is quite expensive to purchase and consume as you need to have 4 sachets a day to meet your daily nutritional needs.

I had never heard of this brand before so I was keen to trail this hair masque. The ingredients of purple rice water, wild orchid and sweet violet extract sound very exotic! It has been a number of years since I regularly used a hair mask, and I was interested to see what the results would be on my hair. Additionally, I have recently coloured my hair using foils and it is feeling quite dry and damaged. Fortunately, this product did the trick and has really helped my hair recover and look and feel a lot better. I'm especially encouraged that this product is targeted at coloured hair. It smells and feels divine on- especially on your pillow case after sleeping. The product feels nice and nourishing on. I didn't use too much as I didn't want it to feel oily or greasy. If I'm going to be totally honest, the packaging wouldn't draw you to the product on the shelf. The text is far too small and isn't attention drawing. Also, this product is good if you have time when you shower and wash your hair. You need to leave it in for a good 5 minutes to see optimal results.

I was keen to trial this product as it is marketed as a face and body wash- I'm yet to find a product that can really work on both areas of the body. I like that this product is designed for sensitive skin, so it should be gentle on the face. The package is huge- 1000mL and you only need to use a small amount so it will last a very long time, making it affordable and good for the environment. There is also a see through strip down the side so you can see how much product you have remaining in the bottle. This is a good idea and a good selling point. The pump pack is also really convenient- no messing about with screw tops or flip tops and you can do it one handed. The downside of this product for me is the smell. The first use I didn't like it, but continued to use the product and now I am used to it. I don't know what it smells like, but I'm not sold on it. It isn't your usual scented body wash, but I suppose to get the pH level right the scent has to be what it is. The plus side is that it is safe to use on my face so now I only need one product in the shower instead of two!

I was excited to trial this product as winter and indoor heating has left my skin feeling dry, itchy and quite dehydrated, The bottle is generous- 500mL which will last a really long time. You don't really need to use a lot of the moisturising cream, because it is nourishing and not very greasy it absorbs nicely into the skin and locks the moisture in. The DermaVeen brand is very easy to spot, and I like that the purpose of the product 'Intensive Moisturising Lotion' is highlighted in pink. For me, although I liked the texture and the hydrating properties of the moisturising lotion, I just didn't enjoy using it. I can narrow it down to the scent. It is oatmeal, and I just didn't like the smell. I understand that for people with sensitive skin and skin conditions that oatmeal is really beneficial for them, but I just can't get past the smell! I will continue to use the product for the areas of my skin that are dry and sensitive, but I won't be using it as an all over body moisturising cream.

I have been using Blistex products for many years. They are reliable and never fail to deliver. This is the first time that I have used a pot of lip conditioner- I usually go for the stick application. I was not disappointed. The package is very hygienic- wrapped in a plastic cover within the cardboard package, and the pot contents itself is sealed too. The packaging is standard Blistex, fairly plain, but this brand speaks for itself. Using the product felt amazing. It is cool on the lips and makes them feel hydrated. You can definitely feel the product working its magic on your lips. The cocoa butter and vitamin E ingredients are pleasant tasting and pleasant to reapply every 2 hours or so. The pot sizing is generous and it will last a decent amount of time. A very positive factor of this product is the SPF 30 formula- a must have in Australia.

I used this conditioner in combination with the matching shampoo. I found that it had a pleasant smell, but I can't quite pin down what the scent is! Kind of citrus but not! It does smell clean and fresh. I found that I only needed to use a small amount of conditioner as it does lather really well. The first time I used the product my hair became quite oily sooner than usual. Next time I used the product I tried to keep the conditioner mainly on my roots and this did seem to work a lot better. I will continue to do this. The size of the bottle is 400mL and it will definitely last a long time. My hair felt smooth after washing, but I did find that my hair became a bit more knottier than usual- possibly because I wasnt' conditioning all the hair? I am not sure. This is a great supermarket budget friendly conditioner that I would recommend.

I regularly use Head and Shoulders so I was excited to be chosen on this trial to test out the new range. The bottle is a decent size (400mL) so I expect that it will last quite a while. You only need a small amount as well, because it lathers up really well. The scent is really nice too, it isn't overpowering at all, but it is hard to describe what it actually smells like! I found that my hair became oiler sooner when I used this product compared to other versions of Head and Shoulders shampoos- I am not sure about why this would be the case. However, the plus side is that there was a reduction in dandruff signs and symptoms. Even though my hair felt oiler sooner than usual, it also felt clean and fresh. A side issue that I noticed was that my hair did get a few more knots in it than usual.

I was super excited to trial this body wash as I have heard so many great things about 'method' products. The first thing that I was impressed about was the size of the bottle- it is a very generous size! I thought that the combo of peony, rose water and pink sea salt is great- the pink sea salt is drowned out by the rose water and peony fragrance, but I know that it is in there somewhere and complements the ingredients! The packaging is simple- pink bottle with pink writing, definitely a female product! It is sturdy and with a flip top so easy to use in the shower. It lathered up nicely and left my skin feeling clean, hydrated and refreshed. The name 'pure peace' is fitting as it actually does feel quite calming and enjoyable to use as a body wash. I will certainly be recommending this product to family and friends and will purchase a new one when this one runs out.

The 'method' pink grapefruit gel hand wash looks great in my bathroom. The bottle is a stylish shape and the pump pack is so easy to use. Initially, I thought that the smell was quite sweet and almost artificial, but it has grown on me with use. One pump is all you need to use each time you wash your hands as a little goes a long way. This is the first time that I have used a 'method' product in my own home- I was interested to see how my hands coped with regular use of this product. The hand gel isn't drying at all, it is very gentle on the hands which is nice when you regularly wash your hands throughout the day. I will definitely be purchasing this product again when it runs out because it is so nice to use, and because the bottle looks so cool for a hand gel!
