As someone with curly hair I know what a struggle it can be to maintain this type of hair. Part of that struggle is finding the right products for your hair. Not all products for curly hair will work so you have to do a lot of trial and error. I am so glad I got to try the BedHead curl cream because it is so good! It smells great and it looks like a thick lotion. I section my hair so I can apply the cream to each area. I use a little bit of water to thin it out and then apply. I run it through my hair ensuring all the strands have been coated and then I leave it to air dry. The curl cream is moisturising and doesn't dry out my hair nor does it leave it feeling tight or 'crispy'. it allows my curls to stay bouncy and healthy without frizz. It's a great alternative to gel and hair mousse if you want something that's hydrating and will keep your curls looking amazing throughout the day.

As I have gotten older my hair has become a lot more thin and it has become a beauty issue that I've tried to find solutions for. I have been using the Grow daily identifier and I can say that it has made some great improvements to the thickness and look of my hair. It comes in a bottle with a pipette and I followed the instructions which said to apply four pipettes of the serum onto your scalp and to do it in different sections. It was actually very easy to use and it absorbed fairly quickly into the scalp which was great. The ingredients in the serum/liquid includes ginger root extract, aloe vera, Kakadu plum and clove extract. After using this for over a month I feel like I have seen improvements. My hair definitely looks thicker and I have found that I'm having less hair fall out than before which is a good sign. When I style my hair I want it to look voluminous and healthy and with this product I feel like I could achieve that.

Hemp has been an ingredient that has been talked about quite a bit, especially hemp oil and how it can be good for the skin. Well this hemp conditioning lip balm from Hemptuary uses hemp oil along with other natural ingredients to provide your lips with moisturising benefits and to create help get rid of dryness. The lip balm feels silky and I like that it feels lightweight on the lips. It is made in New Zealand and it is cruelty free, palm oil free and as mentioned before made with natural ingredients so for those who want an all natural lip balm this would be an excellent choice! I like to apply it at night as an overnight treatment and I wake up to soft lips.

This is the Hydro Care SPF 15 lip balm by Nivea. It is a lip balm for those who have dry lips and need some moisture. I like that the product contains natural oils and it has SPF 15 (I would've preferred a higher SPF but still not bad). It is compact, convenient and easy to store. The tube makes for easy application! When it comes to the moisture it provided to my lips, I would say it's suitable for everyday. For those who have really dry and cracked lips I would suggest using something thicker. This only provides a thin layer of the product so you will have to reapply.

The Nivea repair and protect lip balm is a good everyday lip balm. I was happy to see that it had SPF 15 as many lip balms on the market don't. I must admit that I don't always wear lip balm but I really should as it keeps my lips looking and feeling so soft. I would rate the hydration level of this lip balm to be good. If your lips are very dry and cracked I would suggest using something else as this wouldn't be enough. The lip balm provides a thin layer of moisture and protection which is good but for those that need more you would have to use something else on top of it. You will also need to reapply, as I had to, after a couple of hours.

The Nivea strawberry shine lip balm is a treat for the lips! The lip balm is tinted so it will give your lips some colour. It is a light colour but for me it's just enough when I cannot be fussed to put any makeup on. It protects the lips and provides some much needed hydration so your dry, flakey lips can disappear and hopefully never come back. What I really like about this lip balm is its size, it's compact and easy to carry around with you wherever you go. It would also be nice if the tinted lip balms had some SPF in it too, that's just my two cents!

This was my first time trying Antipodes. I had only heard of the brand but wasn't familiar with the products that they had. I wasn't sure what to expect but after using the bio retinol line reduction serum I have been impressed. Antipodes is a brand that is created and made in New Zealand. All of the ingredient in this particular serum are natural and after using this product you will never doubt natural products! A lot of times people think that natural products don't work as well as non-natural products but that's false. This serum has already made improvements to my skin. My fine lines and wrinkles aren't as prominent as before. My skin tone looks more even and the hydrating ingredients means my skin is looking healthy and plump! Because it uses a natural form of retinol it won't irritate your skin. My impression of Antipodes is that they are an innovative and modern brand and after using this product I would be open to trying more of their products.

Tinted lip balms are great for those of us who want to hydrate our lips but also want to add a bit of colour. The pomegranate shine lip balm by Nivea is fantastic, a really nice colour that suits my skin tone and works well for an everyday look. The tube is convenient just like all the other lip balms from the range. Just apply it directly from the tube which is a lot better than having to stick your fingers in a lip balm pot and applying it that way. Lips feel moisturised, there is no stickiness from the lip balm and it will last for about several hours before I have to reapply. They are also affordable too, I have seen them half off so they are definitely good value!

Taking care of my lips is important and using the Nivea hydro care has made it easy to do so. My lips are dry and using this product has made them softer. The packaging of the lip balm is convenient with the lip balm being housed in the tube. It makes it easy to apply straight onto the lips. This lip balm also contains SPF 15 so your lips are protected from the sun! Sometimes it's nice to wear this underneath other lip products like lip gloss or lipstick as it provides an extra layer of hydration. Great formula that contains natural ingredients, no mineral oils and great for on the go.

After all the lip products we received from Nivea I think I will be set for awhile! The repair and protection lip balm is suitable for everyday for those who have dry, cracked lips. I like that the lip balm also contains SPF 15! The lip balm is convenient with the tube packaging and you just wind up the product. The ingredients in the lip balm are natural and it does not contain mineral oil which is good. I smack my lips together and I can feel the hydration. It lightly coats your lips and it doesn't feel sticky so it's comfortable to have on your lips throughout the day. My lips feel softer, they don't look and feel as dry.
