John Plunkett's super bright exfoliating skin brightener glycol peel serum really does pack a punch! To start off the bottle comes in a convenient push pump which is great as you can get just the right amount of product without contaminating the rest, in a generous 15ml size that will last a while. The formula is clear and it's recommended to use only 1 pump as it is quite strong. A little goes a long way here so make sure to follow the directions! As the product advises, you will feel a slight tingling but it wasn't too bad and it's also recommended to use a moisturiser after it dries which I did and was a welcome relief as the product is a bit drying. Right away I noticed my skin looking clearer but especially after I left it on overnight with the moisturiser on top, my skin tone looked more even as well. There was no actual peeling on my skin it just looked a lot fresher and newer after using. This is a great product that provides really fast results just be sure to follow the directions to get the best results! Only use 1 pump, add a moisturiser once it dries or for sensitive skin it's recommended to wash it off after a 1 minute because it really is a strong product!

The Jergens natural glow is both a firming moisturiser and a gradual self tan in one. The product comes in a large 221 ml squeeze bottle and has enough product to last at least a month with daily use. The formula is white and blends clear and has a very pleasant and delicious scent! The product is best suited for fair to medium skin but as I have a bit of a darker medium skin tone I didn't notice the tanning effect too much with this product, it was only a very subtle difference for me. However as well as my skin feeling buttery soft and hydrated after using this I also did notice a bit of a firming effect which was nice. Overall for me this wasn't a great tanning product as my skin tone is a bit darker than the recommended shade but it worked really nice as a hydrating body moisturiser and I really loved the yummy smell!

The Du'it Tough Hands intensive skin repair is a great heavy duty hydrating product. It's a very generous 150 ml squeeze tube and the formula is very creamy and thicker than your average moisturiser. The product is fragrance free but does have a very slight almost medical smell to it but it's only noticeable if you put it right up at your nose. The product is great for day or night, it can be used all over the body and lasts at least half the day for me. Perfect to use on the feet under some clean socks during bedtime too! Although I found it to be very useful for my hands as I have to keep wearing gloves and sanitiser at work which leaves them very dry at the end of the day but this is an instant relief and very soon after applying my skin feels much softer and hydrated. A great product to have during these times or for anyone who is out in the garden a lot too!

The Dermal Therapy sensitive skin lotion definitely does its job at hydrating tired and dull skin! Firstly the bottle is a very generous 250ml with a convenient squeeze pump nozzle at the top, allowing you to get just the right amount of product out without contaminating the rest. It's a white creamy formula that blends to clear and has a slight smell to me of some kind of medicine bit it was not unpleasant and not overpowering. It lasts a good few hours to half the day or let it work while you sleep. My skin feels a bit dewy and slightly damp for a few minutes after using, very smooth and definitely hydrated. This is perfect to use day or night and works for all over the body, the face, hands and even feet as well! I used some on my feet at night under clean socks and woke up with very lovely soft feet in the morning!

The Glow Lab facial moisturiser is a great everyday moisturiser. It comes in a very genourouse sized 100ml squeeze bottle. The white moisturiser blends to clear and left my skin feeling dewy and supple. At first it feels a little sticky but after about a minute or 2 it dries and feels just like my skin but smoother. My skin is left feeling soft and hydrated. It lasts a few hours to half the day for me and I found that the large bottle means it can double as a body moisturiser as it works just as well and there's plenty of product to go round, I even added some to the backs of my hands after doing my face. Overall it's a very decent moisturiser and you get a lot of product for the low retail price. Definitely worth picking up to use as a body moisturiser too and it can be used day or night as well.

The Biore deep cleansing pore strips didn't work for me as well as I hoped they would but it's still a great product that I enjoyed using. The pack comes with 6 very thin patches that only require you to wet the area first then apply the strip and wait 10 minutes or so for it to dry. Once dried it dries its very hard and satisfying to peel off! It can be a bit painful to peel off and I'd recommend closing your eyes for the nose area. I also tried these on my chin area too. Unfortuantly I have very deep blackheads and I found that it did not remove any of my blackheads however it did clear up my pores a bit and I also noticed a lot of my tiny hairs on the strip so it did leave the area looking cleaner.i just wouldn't recommend it for blackheads but I'm sure it would work better for some people. It's very satisfying to peel off though and can be used on other areas on your face.

The Dermal Therapy lip balm enriched with paw paw is a very moisturising lip balm. It comes in a sleek 10 gram squeeze tube, perfect for getting just the right amount without using your fingers or getting the rest of the balm dirty like most products. It has a very light sweet scent, you can smell a hint of paw paw and it strangely feels more like a moisturiser for your lips than a balm. Which a good thing! Most lip balms feel like a sticky balm but this one is just smooth and not sticky and just feels like a moisturiser that's keeping my lips moisturised and hydrated while it's on. My lips also feel very supple and when I take the balm off or it wears off they feel very soft. For me the balm lasted a few hours before reapplying but I also use it overnight and wake up with soft lips. Overall it's a great moisturising balm that lives up to its name.

The Lady Jane scalp brush is a great addition to your hair brushing routine. Right off the bat this brush has a very sleek and smooth wooden handle that is very lightweight and feels amazing to hold. The metal bristles move with the flexible cushion pad, it's a very flexible brush and not stiff at all. I have very long hair past my shoulders and found the easiest way to use this brush was to start at the tips and work your way up to the roots and my hair looked and felt incredibly smooth after brushing it with this brush. I also found that the metal bristles can provide a great scalp massage by just moving the brush head on your scalp in circular motions, admittedly I even used it as a back massager a bit too! My favourite things about this brush are the sleek wooden handle and the flexible head as I normally don't like metal bristles and use a boar bristle brush but the flexibility of this one made me love it. Also my hair even felt soft the day after brushing it!

These are overall good wipes. Not the best I have used but far from the worst! The Nivea Naturally Good, organic Aloe vera wipes removed my make-up including eye make-up and mascara. They have a strong scent but it's not too bad. The wipes feel a bit dry out of the pack and are not super wet but you can add a bit of water to help. I would use these wipes as a refresh wipe for the face and body more than to take off my make-up as it required more effort to scrub it off with these than with wetter wipes. Mascara takes a bit more effort to remove but other make-up comes off more easily. I like the partially repurposed packaging and biodegradable aspect. Though they're still not very environmentally friendly it's a step in the right direction that isn't seen in many other wipes on the market. Overall I found these to be a good refresh wipe for the face and body.

When I first heard about Olay's new daily hydrating water-activated cloths I was sceptical thinking these would just be like every other face wipe. As soon as I opened the packet that quickly changed! The dry wipes are very porous with a sort of fishnet/lace look. When activated with water they form a nice creamy textured lather that really deep cleaned my skin and the porous effect really allows you to scrub off any dirt, grease and make-up. Surprisingly these were also very gentle on my eyes and I was able to wipe away my mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow without any sign of irritation. I didn't think I would find anything to replace my current wet clothes for eye makeup removal. My skin felt really clean and toned afterwards, its a very pleasant fresh feeling with no overpowering fragrance. I will definitely keep using these and love the convenience of being able to carry one or two in my bag or makeup bag without worrying about them drying up!
