I was lucky enough to be part of the trial team for this product. Thanks to the BH team for considering me. That being said, I am always honest with my review. I also used this together with the Cleanse and Replenish Shampoo, which I loved. Verdict - great! The packaging is great, love the pump and the almost-litre bottle will definitely last me the whole year. The texture is creamy and relatively lightweight compared to other conditioners. The smell is lovely. I think I prefer the shampoo, but that's probably because I have oily hair and don't feel the need to use conditioner so much. I do still like it and will continue to use it with the shampoo, although I predict that I will use up the shampoo well before I finish the conditioner. Would I repurchase? Yes.

I was lucky enough to be selected for the review for this shampoo by the BH team - as always, thank you for the opportunity. That being said, although I'm reviewing as part of the trial team, I am always honest about my experience. Verdict - LOVE! Packaging - fantastic. Love the pump, love the size. It will last me all year. Price - fantastic value for money, particularly for the volume you receive. Product - fantastic. My hair is squeaky clean (and I have oily hair, so this can take a bit of effort!). Even my partner absolutely loves the product, and that's saying something.

Thanks as always to the ladies at beautyheaven for including me in the trial team. I should preface this with a couple of things - my skin is very, very oily. Also, I fork out $$ to get Japanese sunscreen imported because I got hooked on the stuff... its fantastic. Hard to compare other products, honestly. But the cetaphil product I'd say is about middle of the road. Definitely light weight, and I could use it on my face without reaction -a huge plus for me since I have sensitive skin. But although I had no bad reaction, I didn't find any other benefit. My skin was oily very quickly and I just couldn't wear makeup with it. Great on the body though!! Great texture and not greasy. I think this is what I'll primarily use it for. So in short , some pluses some negatives. Not bad overall.

As always, I would like to thank Beautyheaven for giving me the opportunity to participate in the Eimele trial. I was already interested in a program like this but shied away as I'd never done anything like this before. There are two options available for this program - either to replace one meal a day (with two healthy meals for the rest of the day) OR to replace two meals a day, (with one healthy meal for the remainder of the day). My original intention was to start with replacing two meals per day. Eimele provided two flavours - chocolate and vanilla. I preferred the vanilla personally, but chocolate was fine. Week one worked fairly well - only a couple of extra snacks and as long as you acknowledge that you'll be hungry, you can deal with that as it arises. I opted to replace breakfast (the easiest one for me, as I'm not hungry in the mornings) and dinner. This plan with lunch as my main meal worked for me throughout the rest of my experience. Towards the end of week one I realised that replacing two meals was unsustainable for me. To try and keep up, I started having days in between (every third or fourth day) where I only replaced one meal instead of two. I also had a couple of cheat days where I didn't replace anything at all. I think that although this will have definitely slowed progress, it helped with motivation and maintaining the program on a longer basis. At the end of the fourth week this is what I've realised: 1. I would only be able to replace one meal a day long term, and I would need one day off a week. 2. The quarantine helped a LOT. When you can't go out to eat, there is less temptation and less opportunity to give in. 3. While quarantine helped somewhat, I couldn't go to the gym and I missed this a lot. I'm wondering what the effects would have been if I was able to exercise more. Given I was eating a lot less, I'm not sure I would have had the energy? 4. My overall weight loss was only 2kg. It doesn't sound much, but I'm actually happy with that. It generally takes me a long time to lose weight, and I wasn't exercising. Additionally, I'm on birth control which makes it harder for me to lose weight. Conclusion - would I do it again, or continue? Honestly - yes. I found that I could easily replace breakfast with this and not feel hungry. It was easy to do, so I didn't have to think about meals. The flavours were nice. It's more expensive than most, but not more than the cost of a meal. I've never tried any other shakes so I'm not sure how it compares flavour or cost wise though. The one thing that I think would help is having a porridge or soup instead of a shake, now that the weather is getting cold. I do know that Eimele has these options and I'd love to try them. Warm food helps me feel more full too. Thanks again to the team at Eimele and Beautyheaven. It's been an interesting 4 weeks, and I think I've actually been able to participate in something that I could truly try again in the future. It's been an overall positive experience.

I was thankful to receive a pack of each type of mask that Minenssey offers as part of the Best in Beauty event at beautyheaven Sydney. I've currently used 3 of 4. I just the first one (deep cleansing) was definitely my favourite. Loved the smell, the feel of it going on, and my skin afterwards. My second one (rejuvenating) was nothing special to me. It was OK, didn't break me out, but I didn't feel or see any noticeable difference. The third one (hydrating) has been my least favourite so far. No noticeable difference on my skin with this one either, and I could not stand the extremely strong floral fragrance. I could probably get two masks out of each pod if I tried. Even with two applications I think that these are quite expensive for what they are though. None of them irritated my skin so that's a definite plus at least. I'd probably purchase the deep cleansing to try again, but I'm hoping that the brightening mask is going to work better for me. For reference I am approaching my 40s and have oily sensitive skin.

I was lucky enough to attend BH's natural beauty event and received this product. Instant love! This is a super rich product, and has a lovely fragrance. The smell is quite strong to me, but I liked it. A tiny little bit goes a LONG way, so the tube should last me a while. I would NOT use this on my face. It is much too heavy for that. This is for extremely dry skin, so it's been a godsend for my winter skin, particularly on my elbows and knees. It's so good that it's softened my elbows and cleared all of the dry skin up. I simply apply after a shower once a day and I'm good to go.

This is without fail, my go-to bedside lip balm. I use this after the shower before bed every night, and every single morning before going about my day. It's the perfect neutral lip balm, and very moisturising. There is no colour or distinct smell which I prefer, and works well under lipsticks.

I would normally use Dove, but on the recommendation of a friend decided to give this a go. This was a surprise - I love it. It's super moisturising, and now that it's June and fully winter it's such a nice part of my shower routine. It's heavier than Dove, but so creamy and the smell is very pleasant. If you're looking for a nice moisturising shower cream, I recommend this product and would repurchase.

This is a great toner, for all skin types. I have oily skin, and although I saw a reviewer mention that it was ideal for their drier skin due to the less-drying nature of this product compared to other toners, I still found this to work well for my oily skin. I've incorporated this toner into both my day time and night time routine, after cleansing and before essence. You do need to shake before each use. It's a great hydrating, soothing toner that absorbs quickly. That being said, I have very few problems with toners, it's hard to get them wrong IMO. I suspect that there are a few toners at lower price points that could also work, but as I received these from BH as a prize the price didn't affect me. Will I repurchase? Not sure, but I'm definitely enjoying this while it lasts.

This is a simply lovely product. I have oily skin. There is a misconception that those with oily skin don't need to use oil cleansers. My experience is the opposite - that oil cleansers are more effective at breaking down makeup for those with oily skin rather than foam cleansers. That is exactly what this product does. I use less than a full pump, and that's more than enough to rub through my hands and over my face. It completely melts all the makeup that I have on my face away, including mascara. With water, it doesn't really emulsify or foam up at all, but makeup does disappear. I do not use this alone. I double cleanse by following up with a foam cleanser to get rid of any remaining traces of make up (particularly waterproof makeup). I always recommend double cleansing, it's helped my skin a lot. This is my every day, end of day routine. I received this as part of a prize due to another BH review, so I don't know what the price is (although I imagine it's at the higher range). I do wonder whether you can get similar products for a lower price point, but other than that the product works beautifully and is just lovely.
