Never using L'Oreal Kerastase on my hair combined with lack of knowledge of the brand before even trying it I did my research on the product to see best how to use it. It is a multi-purpose product and not your standard oil product for the hair as you can use it in four different ways. I like the look of the gold bottle and the accompanying gold box too as it screams elegant and expensive without the hefty price tag. In fact if it didn't have L'Oreal written on the bottom of the box I would think it to be a different brand all together, a more expensive brand than the $55 L'Oreal it is and actually costs. So price wise it is cheaper than the one I usually use and the price is very reasonable and will last a long time. The bottle itself is a gorgeous gold pump bottle and if you are a visual person like myself you will find it a beautiful addition to your bathroom. As I have long acrylic nails I love pump bottles for 2 reasons one it's going in my hair not my nails and second you can't accidently pour too much into your hand. I know the scent is not a favourite amongst a lot of people but found the scent to be okay myself. I have gone from very long hair to a very short straight hair style in the past year. Though shorter I still have very coarse thick and naturally curly hair that easily frizzes so it still needs a little maintenance such as some blow drying and straightening so I still need an oil product in my routine. Like I mentioned there are 4 ways to use this oil elixir I chose to use it like my regular oil hair product which is after I have washed my hair whilst damp and before styling and again after styling it when my hair is dry. It says to distribute the product through the ends and middle lengths only of your hair and not the roots which is what I did when my hair was wet. I used a small pump of the product and massaged it in the palm of my hands to better evenly distribute the product from my ends to the middle off my hair as instructed. From using a moisturiser to this hair elixir I always use what my skin or hair needs. If it needs a little I use a little if it needs a lot I use a lot so use what your hair needs. Drying and styling my hair always causes it to frizz and with this product there was no exception so I also needed to use a smidgen on my hair after styling where it was needed so even though it said not to use it on the roots I did anyway as 'hello' my roots always frizz up after styling. So again I placed on the ends then a little in the middle and despite instructions otherwise this time I patted the excess residue gently on the roots. The finished result was a polished sleek look which left my hair soft and lightweight whilst giving my hair a long lasting luminous shine. Even though I didn't need to you can reuse this product during the day so whenever your hair loses that lustre again or begins to frizz just reapply just a little. I think it's innovative that 1 product can be used in other ways but my experience of the product is on the above way of using it which is choosing to use it like my usual oil product for my hair and will stick to using it this way. To be honest I would not have purchased this product if I was not given the opportunity to trial it as I had a misconception of this brand. As my hair does not do well with cheaper quality brands so all my hair products from shampoo to styling products I use quality expensive products. I once used a cheaper shampoo on my hair and it took a year before my hair was right again which is why I am fussy on my hair products. Until now I wrongly associated this brand with that type of product as I once used L'Oreal to shampoo and condition my hair and was not happy with the results so the negative result then influenced me in whole on the L'Oreal brand when it came to hair products. So I am glad I was chosen to trial this product as I couldn't be further than wrong on my perception of this product thinking Kerastase was an inferior product for my hair or an inferior product full stop simply because it was an L'Oreal brand as the results speaks volumes. So doing this trial was in whole a positive experience for me as it changed my thinking as this is a quality product that I will continue to use on my hair and would purchase in the future.

I always have on hand of late a Nivea lip balm and this is a favourite of the Nivea lip balm for me. It gives my lips a lovely sheer pink sheen with a hint of a colour tint whilst keeping my lips moisturised for a long time.

I bought the serum in this range to use for my hair to tame the frizz and to keep my hair styled before I use my hair straightener. This is a product that actually delivers what it says it going to do and for my unruly hair I have searched half my life time and spending money on hair care products that don't deliver but this one does. I thought shiny beautiful looking hair was just for women on televisions ads and magazines or simply my hair just was more unmanageable than most until now. Then I discovered this little gem. It tames my frizz and keeps my hair straight when I follow it with my ceramic styler on my hair. Then just some hairspray to keep it that way. It is also perfect for o naturale at home. It is great to apply it on wet hair or dry hair. Though I prefer using it on dry hair before straightening my hair and be gone the frizz and my hair is instantly smooth and styled. It is also good for protecting your hair. I use a hair mask once a week but when you're straightening your hair you need to protect it more than just with a mask and this serum does all this as well. So if you suffer from frizzy hair and you use styling products I would definitely recommend this product for your hair. I adore this product so much just a couple of days ago I bought its accompanying mask. So it just turns out I wasn't using the right product for my hair as shiny, straight and frizz free hair exists when I use L'Oreal Serum to tame the frizz.

I was looking to change foundations in particular to a pressed compact foundation but unfortunately the L'Oreal Roll On wasn't suited to my ivory skin tone so L'Oreal kindly went to the trouble of sending 2 different types of foundation that would be hopefully suited to my ivory shade skin tone. The L'Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Perfecting Foundation was one of the two that were sent to me. I applied this liquid foundation to the face by a foundation brush then evened it out with a sponge which worked perfectly. It went on smoothly over my face and blended with such ease. The liquid surprisingly wasn't greasy like 2 other expensive liquid brands that I have tried and bought very recently in my search for my 'it' foundation which is very good. It lasted all day without any touch ups and didn't leave my face washed out after a couple of hours which is one of the reasons why I was looking to change foundations in the first place. Though the colour of the bottle looked perfect for my skin tone it actually had some yellow undertones when applied to my face which I am finding this problem in all different brands of foundation that I have tried and bought from liquid foundations to pressed foundations not just this L'Oreal foundation. It will either have an orange or a yellow undertone when applied to my skin and as I am a very white ivory skin tone any yellow or orange under tone stands out on my face. The other con was that I found it settled in my pores and looked very drying to the skin As I like my foundations to blend and be apart with my skin and cover imperfections I can't see myself wearing this foundation again based mainly more on the yellow undertones as it does have a lot more pros than cons. I am just very fussy when it comes to the shade of my foundation I do want to make a special thanks to L'Oreal and Beautyheaven in helping me to find my perfect foundation for my skin type and for going that extra mile in doing so though.

I was looking to change foundations and leaning towards a creamy compact foundation when I received the L'Oreal Roll On True match to trial but unfortunately was to dark for my ivory skin. On receiving more information on my skin colour L'Oreal sent me 2 foundations which they thought would be more suited to my skin colour and they sent me the W1 Golden Ivory in this mineral foundation and is the perfect shade to my very ivory skin I like to use this on a hot day or at home when I am expecting company as it gives my skin even coverage whilst letting my skin breathe at the same time. It comes with it's own brush so you don't need to buy another brush and it is a great kabuki style brush. It takes mere seconds to apply and there are no dark patches on your face from caking or too much powder in the one place as the powder blends with such ease. It blends so well around my face covering my freckles and any redness that it doesn't feel like you are wearing foundation. It feels very light on my skin where my other foundations feel heavy and the first thing I usually can't wait to do when I get home is take off my foundation but it's not the case with this foundation. You don't get that washed out effect after a few hours either The one thing I don't recommend is putting it under your eyes for those like me who have panda eyes as it doesn't easily spread in that area as it cakes and settles within your lines and crevices. So I would recommend buying their mineral powder concealer for the eyes so you get that natural finish. Overall this is a wonderful foundation that gives even coverage and the colour is so perfect it becomes a part of your skin colour. I also have to say a big thank-you to L'Oreal for going that extra mile in successfully trying to fit me with the correct foundation to my skin colour. Thanks L'Oreal and thanks beautyheaven for spending such time and effort into finding me the right foundation for my skin type.

After receiving this beautiful gift I couldn't wait to try it as I am a big supporter of natural Australian products that are gentle to my illness and with A'Kin ( The Purist Company ) I can rely on them to be just that. I don't know whether my skin wasn't dry enough from just showering as after a few unsuccessful times of using it on my body I found it hard to massage it easily into my skin. So because I had trouble with it absorbing into my skin with ease I decided to use it as a foot cream. It turns out it was the best decision I ever made In the summer the soles of my feet become dry and thicken that crack, split and are painful. It only happens in the summer and they need a lot of maintenance. In summer I have my go to products that I use every summer and this moisturiser will be now one of those go to products. My feet from using this cream are no longer dry or cracked and need little to no maintenance most days. This is the first cream that has solved a 20 year problem and just last week I recommended this product to a fellow sufferer in my local salon I have just applied it half an hour ago and my feet are smooth and soft from using this body moist which is something that doesn't usually go hand in hand in summer with me until now. My feet are no longer cracked or dry thanks to this product and the natural ingredients like the lavender and geranium even helps a little with the pain so much so I haven't brought out my foot spa this hot summer. A great product that will now be one of my summer staples.

I love the convenience of dry cleansers and they are hard to come by. I discovered them first with L'Oreal. This dry cleanser really cuts down the time of your beauty routine. You apply with a cosmetic oval and there is no rinsing involved. I especially like that this cleanser is gentle enough to clean not only your face but your surrounding eye area too. You can also use this cleanser to wipe your make-up off as well but I only use it as a cleanser when I don't need to shower.
It moisturises your face whilst cleansing and soothing the skin. It is the perfect product for people who have dry and sensitive skin that want to nourish it and fight wrinkles.

This creamy cleanser is a gorgeous light yellow cream that really reflects the design of the bottle. I just have to comment on the scent as it smells devine in its delicate to the senses orange with a touch of lemon scent. The scent is so subtle and not to overpowering. As a rule I use my cleansers in the shower before I exfoliate and use dry cleansers when I am not showering as when I use a cleanser at the basin that needs rinsing off water just goes everywhere so much so a duck could swim in it. So it takes a lot of time rinsing off my cleansers and cleaning up the water up afterwards. So I used this cleanser when I showered and I was that impressed with the cleanser as to my surprise I didn't have to use my exfoliant afterwards. I applied a small amount to my hands and gently massaged it on my face and neck and within seconds I am washing it off, so quick and easy. My skin felt so soft and smooth afterwards that my skin felt it didn't need to be exfoliated. This cleanser penetrated my skin so well at the first wash that I was surprised that this cheaper brand matched 1 for 1 to one of my favourite more expensive brand cleansers that costs so much more by exfoliating and cleansing in the one cleanser. The cleanser also easily rinsed off and didn't stay on my skin long afterwards like some same priced brands can. I don't suffer from pimples anymore but I do still have some blackheads around the nose and chin area that have been there for years and I want to continue with this cleanser to see if it can wash deep enough to rid them as I was impressed with my skins lustre with the just the first wash Overall I have to say I am impressed with this cleanser and all for under $14. I would definitely buy this again as why continue with my more expensive cleanser when this cheaper gentler cleanser and exfoliator in one does just as good.

This cream comes in a pleasing dome gold and clear glass tub. The light sheer yellow cream is so delicate and devine as well the scent and is an absolute pleasure to put on my face. It is amazing with one gentle swift of the cream to your face it instantly absorbs into your skin leaving a glistening moisturised finish that is not greasy at all. It doesn't take a lot to get the coverage you need and I liked to wipe any excess off on to my décolletage. This lift absorbs as quickly as you put it on and it takes mere seconds to apply this Collagen Moisturiser but if you take the time to massage your face after applying it you feel this tightening effect so you feel the product working. Since using this cream and the other accompanying Advanced creams my beauty routine has become much quicker After just over three weeks of using and finishing this product morning and night I am already seeing and feeling the results. The results I am starting to see are in my forehead lines and they are less pronounced and my face including my forehead and neck feels and looks tighter so the Moisturiser must be lifting my skin which is unbelievable. My cheek area and jaw line look more sculpted, firmer and lifted. Just my skin alone looks more youthful and radiant looking and plumped out. I want to continue with this moisturiser to see what more results I can get as it does say to use this product for at least 3 months to see optimal results and I also want to look into buying their other products in this range like the refirming eye cream and Instant Wrinkle Cover due to the positive results I have received by using these extreme makeover anti-ageing advanced products. I am now an absolute fan of John Plunkett and if it wasn't for Beautyheaven I wouldn't have found such a quality brand.

As soon as I saw the adds of this make-up in the magazines I was instantly in love and wrote the two lipstick colours that I lusted the most down which was Pink Pout 002 and Nude Attitude 001. When I got to the store I still couldn't decide which colour I liked the most so I bought both of them and I am glad I did. When they say Matte they mean matte you can definitely tell it is a matte lip stick immediately upon application but for those who find matte lip stick a little bland like the Pink Pout was in my case for my skin colouring you can apply a lip gloss in a lighter shade over the top of the lipstick to give it some sparkle or do what I did and that is make your foundation more matte by applying a translucent powder over the top and then the lip sticks look just perfect with your now perfect matte colouring I applied a lip balm to moisturise my lips before applying the lipstick. This is the longest wearing lipstick I have ever worn that doesn't dry out your lips to do so. It is a very moisturising lipstick. When I wore the Pink Pout I did a small touch up during the day as it was slightly fading and when I got home 8 hours later it was still on my lips. When I wore the Nude Attitude I didn't have time to do a touch up while out and to my surprise when I came home at the end of the day some of the lipstick was still on my lips This lipstick is long wearing and very moisturising along with the gorgeous colours I cannot find a fault with this lip stick.
