I love the way this is full of botanicals and even though it's made for oily and oily combination skin it's still useable for me for a deep cleanse treatment once or twice a week, as my skin has changed from what it once was - oily combination, to an almost dry combination! It definately feels purifying and it foams up nicely and has little bits of stuff in it (plant?) that make it interesting. So though it's made for oily skin I do find I can keep using it but I will probably but a different formula next time since my skin has changed so much! (It's an age thing - I just find my skin needs more moisture as it gets older.)

I'd run out of a hydrating spray a few weeks ago and so I found this quickly in Priceline as it sounded like it was along the lines of what I wanted - a hydrating spray that was good for my skin and this lists some impressive ingredients down the front of it's label like HA and Niacinamide amongst others. It's definitely nutrient rich as promised and when I spritz it over the top of my serum, which is what I wanted it for, it does the job and settles my serum into my skin while hydrating it further. I can't detect any scent added to this so I expect it's a non-scented product. There is a faint odour of 'clinical' type ingredients but that is all, and it dissipates straight away after spritzing. The packaging is cool and modern and provides plenty of information. There is a handy cap that goes over the top of the nozzle, so it could easily be travelled with. It's hard to lose the nozzle cap because it's so brightly coloured! Bonus. I use this a lot but if skin is a bit sensitive from a treatment or the likes, then you may want to avoid this at that time because it does contain gorgeous fruit enzymes which can cause a tingly feeling but other than that the fruit enzymes are very welcome in my view!

I love the way this simplified my routine - it works for both day and night and my skin feels nourished and hydrated from using it this way. It was easy to use because I could mindlessly reach for the same pot of moisturiser whatever time of day it was. It was great for all over my face, neck, decolletage, eyes area and mouth area. Being recently on a week away from home, this was an easy pot of moisturiser to take with me. Being bright red, I just grabbed it day or night and it was a busy week away so this was a blessing to be able to use whenever to keep my skin nourished and hydrated. There was enough to think about while I was away so this was great to be able to use in a complicated week. Must say though, even before I left I enjoyed it's simplicity and after I've got back too while unpacking and other things going on. I love the nourishment and moisturisation it offers but I also love how my skin looked firm and felt bouncy and healthy. My skin is combination normal with some dry areas around my eyes and lips but when I was younger it used to be oily and then combination oily. Now it's changed to combination normal and this moisturiser works great for me. I suppose I would just use less and use it more sparingly if I was combination oily but now that I'm combination normal I spread it over my face, neck and decollatage more liberally. It feels nice and soothing and relieving in my drier areas and nourishes my normal areas. It's a white cream with a fresh delicate scent. It goes well with my SPF product over the top for daytime.

I've found this serum to be a real surprise - it really works well to counteract the issues I had. My fine lines have disappeared and my skin appears so smooth and hydrated too. My larger lines are not as obvious and my skin also appears somewhat firmer. Even after the first night, in the morning I discovered it had already made a difference and my skin looked better and fresher. After a week, my skin was noticeably smoother and I continued past the two week stage because I was so happy with the positive changes in the first week. I didn't notice any sensitivity in my skin but I did use a very high SPF (SPF 50+) every day and I expect this makes a difference. Before starting this serum, I also was using a high SPF every day but moreso religiously during it's use. It's a lightweight, white milky serum which sinks into my skin fast. I use it at night after cleansing and then apply another hydrating serum sometimes but always a simple but nurturing night moisturiser that I regularly use anyway. There is not really any scent in this formula - if there is at all, it is an extremely light fresh scent that is barely noticeable. I found it a very comfortable serum to use considering it is a retinol serum. I also found it extremely effective and it looks like it has found a permanent place in my night routine. It's one of the most fast and effective anti-aging serums I've used. It comes with a squeeze-dropper in the lid so it's super easy to apply. I keep it above my sink in the bathroom so I can put it on conveniently straight after I wash my face at night.

I love the way this does not make my crepiness enhanced but instead it seems to hydrate my skin and so it looks great when it's on! Seriously the best concealer I've used to date and I've been around for a while. It really does glide onto my skin and blend easily and softly on the skin too. There's no dragging at all. I can't tell I'm wearing any concealer when I wear this and I love that (but I did have to get the colour hue that was right for me and not too light!) I can only suggest picking out your own colour (and there are testers in shops like Priceline etc) because when someone else tried to tell me what colour would be best for me, I could tell straight away that it was too light. They were suggesting a Light-Medium but I could see that the Medium was a perfect fit me me and it is!

I bought this because I'd tried a Mini sized Goldwell heat protectant spray and loved it. When I looked for that product I found that it had been deleted / superseded by other heat protectant products and this is one that sounded similar but even better. So I bought the full size (as mini size of this wasn't available) and I am so glad I did. It protects my hair when I want to use heat tools and it's easy to spritz on without any weigh-down issues. I have fine hair so that is important for me. This is a very pretty pale purple-lilac colour and it needs to be shaken before use because of the formula that has two main types of ingredients - oil & water and it helps to emulsify the ingredients when it's shaken. So I shake it just before I use it each time. It's called Brilliance Serum Spray for a reason - it makes my hair super shiny! I have natural hair colour mainly (I touch up a tiny bit of grey near my ears every now and again with some dark blonde/light brown hair dye but that is all - the rest is natural). There's no doubt this leaves my hair shiny and vibrant as promised - and I love the heat protectant benefit. The scent is light and barely-there but it's mainly noticeable when it's initially spritzed. My hair also feels softer from using this - and I need that benefit up here where the water seems harder and harsher.

I received this as a gift last Christmas and have been very much enjoying it all year. Even though the liquid has dissipated now (it's October so it's been a good 10 months since I started to use it) I can still smell the scent - especially when I flip the sticks up and over. That is the trick with these diffusers I think - to flip the sticks up into the air to release more of the fragrance that gets soaked up into their wood. The Watermelon is a fruity scent and I can definitely pick up on the melon side of things as well as the cucumber and guava. The hint of sweetness is definitely the vanilla in it. It's not a fragrance I would naturally go for but it's been lovely to have the change in the house (I place this in the living room) and have something different. I would say that it could be a unisex scent because it's not overly feminine or masculine and sits right in the middle really. It's a very good summer fragrance and we are on the coast so it suits our house. Though if you were in the country this would be beautiful to use too.

I loved how I only needed to wait 30 seconds for this conditioner to do it's work and then I could rinse. I tried using it for the standard minute and a half like with a lot of other conditioners I've used but it really didn't make any difference and it was unnecessary to do it that long so since that try I have just done the 30 second treatment and then rinsed well. It's great that I only need 30 seconds to get what it promises: smooth and easy hair to style. My hair felt smooth and sleek after using this and the strands no longer felt like I needed to give them much attention to smooth them at all. I could let it dry naturally and then just give my hair a brush. My usually tangle-prone hair wasn't full of tangles at all. There is something in this that tames the strands and regenerates them - possibly the avocado? It has a good fresh and botanical scent. The formula is white and it's easy to squeeze out of the tube. Not a lot is needed either to do the job and I find that I can use it minimally on my scalp but mainly on my lengths & tips. It is a formula that is good for the scalp too so I make sure I get some on there too and I don't usually do that with conditioners as I have fine hair. I usually avoid conditioners at all costs on my scalp but this one is different and it's good to put a bit there as well - but only for the 30 seconds as recommended on the tube. On the tube it says "for hair over forty" and that is me and I'm stoked that there is a special product for my hair for my "age-group". I can highly recommend this conditioner.

This cleans so well that it feels like it's purifying my pores as I massage it around my face. I apply it to my skin straight up - no water needed to start with and just massage it around and then after it has made my skin totally glow, I then add a bit of water to emulsify it. This is when if feels like every bit of dirt, make-up and grime is lifted right out of my pores and off my skin. Then I rinse it all away with splashes of water and a wet washcloth. My skin is not left oily at all which is surprising considering how it starts off when you squirt this formula out of the bottle. It feels like an oil then but soon, after it is emulsified, it is not oily anymore. A little bit like magic, like a lot of Bioderma products are. This is fantastic for a deep cleansing of the skin but it is so gentle that it can also be used every day. I love especially too how it not only feels like it purifies as it cleanses, but that it also soothes and strengthens the skin. Like what?! There is the magic again! So then it's a no brainer that I would give this product a five star rating. It just gives and keeps on giving. Yes I would buy this again when it runs out. I like to use a serum straight after using this and I don't feel like I need to use a toner or anything before the serum either because my skin feels so clean. It claims to provide a sensorial cleansing experience - and that it does! If you are looking for a cleanser that does everything and more, then this may be just the cleanser you were looking for.

This curler and/or straightener comes with a heat mat which is a fold-around 'case' and a heat glove too. The 'tong' is longer than other products I've got and it's a lovely thickness to create bigger and modern beachy looking waves in my hair. To curl my hair, I wrap a section of it around with my fingers (in the glove that protects the hand from burns) and around the closed barrel. The barrel gets locked into place by just a click. I hold the hair for arout 20 seconds. I use the 200 degrees heat (there are options for lower heat and right up to professional heat settings). I love the gorgeous curls this gives me and it's quick to use. About 10 minutes and I'm done! This can be used for travel overseas as well because it comes with optional plugs. I used a serum oil to protect my hair. Using this tool gives me volume and luxury style that is so easy to do. My fine hair tends to normally get all static-y but this has anti-static plates which are tourmaline infused. The plates also have a quality ceramic coating so my hair stays in healthy condition.
