This is another really beautiful product from Jurlique. I love that it is Australian and the thought that goes into every detail of their product and design is appreciated. The box itself is really beautiful and easily gift worthy, and the bottle inside is a work of art in it's appearance with a really pretty and feminine two toned design. I liked how it matched with the corresponding serum from this line, and how easily it sank into my skin upon first application. It is quite a lightweight moisturizing product and I found that because we are in the middle of winter I definitely needed the apply the serum before this product to really enjoy it's smoothing and hydrating effects. My husband actually ended up enjoying this product even more than I did as he already uses the Rosewater balancing Mist from Jurlique, and the scent of this lotion is a perfect match with that!

I have tried this Jurlique serum and upon first use I really appreciated the finer details that the brand has perfected. The outer box could easily be a gift box such is it's beauty, and the bottle inside is equally as beautiful with a two tone gradient design that is so pretty for a countertop. I loved how silky smooth the serum feels and how it spreads with ease over my skin, it sinks in really nicely which is something I appreciate in skincare, especially in a serum where another cream would be layered on top soon afterwards. The scent alone is a giveaway of the luxurious nature of this product, if you have used the famous Rosewater Spray then you would already know how absolutely divine it is! The only issue I had with this product was that my skin reacted negatively if I used it every day (small blemishes under the skin) so I began sharing with my husband who loves skincare and is noticing fine lines under his eyes. He felt that it smoothed them out and hydrated his skin nicely and he adored the smell, and even appreciated the packaging despite it being quite feminine and floral.

I love the sleep design of the mask packaging, I definitely would have picked this up while shopping if I had not have been sent it as part of the trial team for review. I like having purifying masks in my collection as well as softening masks as often my skin needs a deep clean and I find charcoal or clay great for that. The fact that this mask does both is awesome, it doesn't dry out my skin but actually left it really soft. The day after using the product my skin pushed the deep pimples out to the surface which was good as they were frustrating and sore deep down. The rest of my skin was nice and soft still though, and my husband likes this mask because it's black fabric over the usual white. It's super saturated with the juice and I appreciate all the things that AREN'T in this product - no artificial colours, alcohol etc

I recently trialled the Clay Fresh Deep Cleansing Shower in the blue agave and lavender scent, and I enjoyed it! It lathered up really well and I liked how the product looked when you squirt it onto a shower puff - sometimes it's the little things that make a product indulgent like being a pretty blue colour! I was expecting the scent to be a nanna-floral type of lavender but it really wasn't, it actually instantly reminded me of a luxurious body scrub and mask I enjoyed while in Bali a few years back -the scent of a relaxing spa and treatment room! I think that this shower wash would work for all skin types because it was soft but because it contains the clay it would be great for oilier skin that don't want extra oil on themselves. I particularly enjoyed this after a hot summer day, it cleansed well after I was hot and sweaty.

While using this in conjunction with the Dermaveen Foaming Facial Cleanser and serum I found it was a simple moisturiser but perhaps too heavy for my liking. I have normal skin that is on the dry flaky side at the moment and I found that this took a while to work into my skin, and having a toddler this frustrated me as I wanted to quickly slap it on and go right back to whatever else I needed to be doing. It wasn't the worst moisturiser I've used by any means but is not my favourite and I wouldn't purchase this for myself. Perhaps dry skin types would find their skin drinks this up more quickly? Ultimately I prefer the feel of the facial cleanser and serum from this brand over the moisturiser, though I do appreciate the large size and flip top lid is always a nice addition also.

I'm not the biggest serum user so I was surprised after completing this Beauty Heaven trial that this was my favourite Dermaveem item of the 3 provided. It added some much needed moisture to my face after cleansing my skin in the shower and I liked how it didn't feel too heavy if I wanted to add 2 pumps to my face instead of just one. It sunk it quickly, and being a Mum of a young one that is a huge plus for me in my skincare regime. I liked how the small plastic pump bottle felt and how it was nice and light but I did have an issue with the pump jamming a few nights ago. I think it was just a random blockage but unsure. I liked how the serum felt so much that I also use it on my neck and decolletage to plump it up and ward of creases and wrinkles. Overall I like this serum.

I recently began using the Dermaveen Foaming Facial Cleanser and quite enjoyed it, I was apprehensive as I usually don't prefer foaming cleanser products but this was akin to a gel cleanser that lathered up nicely instead of big wads of actual foamy product. I liked that this facial cleanser was free from scent and although my skin managed okay with it, because I am more on the dry side of normal I found it led me to crave my moisturiser immediately after use. This is what leads me to think that it would be a cleanser appreciated by oilier skin types, as it wouldn't strip the oils but I think it would balance them out nicely. I appreciated the large packaging and flip top open (always handy when you wash your face in the shower) Overall I wasn't completely wowed by this product but was also not offended, primarily because it wasn't a perfect fit for my skin type.

I was very excited to receive this to trial, I adore facial masks and am yet to try a self-heating one so this was new territory for me to explore. On initial inspection I like the packaging, it's clean and I think the design would appeal to a really wide age range as it looks quite good for younger girls (hence the urban appeal) but I'm in my late 20's and would have bought it too. Being a 1 minute mask the concept was interesting but confusing to me - in the end I used this in the shower as I would use a second cleanser, and for that purpose it was great as it left my skin clean. I did feel that my skin was a tad squeaky after use which necessitates immediate use of a moisturizer but I'm on the drier side of skin type so oilier skins would really appreciate this product in my opinion!

I was excited to receive the MicellAir Skin Breathe Make-Up Remover as I find essentials like remover such a great thing to try out and recommend to friends and family. I like the claim of it removing waterproof product, because though I don't wear them it signals to me that the product is a workhorse and able to get rid of all of my eyeshadow and mascara with ease. I tend to go heavy on the eye makeup and liked how this left my lids feeling, with no tightness or stickiness left behind. The bottle itself is a nice big one and looks chic in black and pink alongside the traditional Nivea blue and white. I think it works really well and I would happily repurchase in the future.

I have been using this Garnier Macadamia Hair Food product for a few weeks and have come to appreciate the thick texture of it! One of my favourite things about this product is the scent- it smells so luxurious for an affordable brand and reminds me of the body shop which is a wonderful feature. I use a scoop on the ends of my hair from below ear length and find it clings to my hair and properly hydrates it unlike most other drugstore type hair products which slip right off without penetrating my strands. The tub is nice to look at and I like that it matches the other new varieties Garnier have released with it (I just bought the banana version to try next!) I do find the lid a little hard to screw back on after use but that is common among screw top lidded products and the product needs to be in a tub because of the thickness. I think ladies with thick hair will love this product most.
