Thanks to Beauty Heaven for organising this Trial Team First off, I'd just like to say that this product smells fantastic, it has a natural soft herbal/floral scent. Personally I enjoyed the scent, but I did notice I was able to smell the product for probably the first 5 minutes or so of the treatment, though I am particularly sensitive to fragrance. After taking the mask out, I found that there was still enough serum in the sachet to reapply the next day. The serum is a beautiful thick milky consistency, and a slippery feel. Despite the mask having plenty of serum on it, it did not drip while on (likely due to the heaviness of the serum). The ingredients listed sounded promising, products with niacinamide tend to work well at healing spots if you have them, and hyaluronic acid is fantastic for keeping skin supple. One thing I really enjoyed about the mask, is that it's made of a soft, delicate fibre material and has a really comfortable shape - the large cut-outs for the eyes and lips meant that there wasn't any tugging and readjusting required during the treatment. The great shape meant it also didn't feel suffocating the way poorly fitted sheet masks do, and it soon felt like I wasn't wearing anything. I have dry skin, so I left the mask on for 30 minutes rather than the recommended 20. Particularly towards the end I could feel my skin physically getting plumper and more hydrated. I would definitely recommend leaving it on for the extra 10 minutes if you have dry skin, because I really feel like it made a significant difference. The serum is quite sticky after it has started to dry down, so it's a little difficult to wear after the mask is removed. I left the serum as it was for a couple hours before washing it off, and my skin feels a lot softer and more hydrated. Personally I noticed a "plump" feeling in my skin for several hours after using the mask, which usually indicates to me that the product has done a good job of absorbing into the skin, rather than sitting on the surface. After washing the serum off with water, there was a slight residue left that acted in lieu of moisturiser (which was an added bonus for me as my skin sometimes gets irritated with too many products). Overall this mask was a really pleasant experience, and it worked great on my dry skin. The ingredients were spot on, and the scent was quite natural smelling and relaxing. I'd recommend this mask to anyone looking for a refreshing hydration boost and some gentle plumping.

I have many Nude by Nature brushes, and their face brushes are some of my favourite. Pros: ~ inexpensive (especially in the brush sets) ~ durable - this brush has survived many washes & it's still perfectly shaped and quite soft ~ synthetic bristles - great for those of us who prefer to buy cruelty-free! Cons: ~ density - personally I prefer a less dense brush, as I think it helps diffuse makeup and allows it to blend into the skin more. This brush is probably more on the dense side of face brushes, but given that that's a personal preference thing, I would say it doesn't reflect the quality of the brush. Overall it's a very nice brush, and definitely a nice addition to my collection. It's very reasonably priced and in my opinion, great quality.

I have this gloss in the shade 'angel food cake'. It's a really gorgeous dusty rose colour, and it's perfect for everyday wear. They aren't the most pigmented glosses, but they have a really lovely creamy consistency. They're not too sticky, and very comfortable to wear. The only downside for me is the lack of cool-toned shades available in this range. I would love to be able to get this in a mauve shade, but the choices are a little limited at the minute. The packaging is cute and very on brand for nyx. The applicator is a pretty standard doe-foot and applies the product well.

Although not my favourite formula, this lipstick is a pretty solid drugstore staple for me, and I often recommend it as a first step into the world of liquid lipsticks. My only issue with this lipstick is the drying effect it has on my lips. Although not unusual, I do find that this formula is a little more drying than others. This can easily be remedied with preparation (exfoliating & leaving a lip balm on for a little bit prior to application) and putting a clear gloss or balm over the dried liquid lipstick to give it a little added moisture. I love the shade range that this lipstick features, it includes most basic colours and a few more unique shades. The affordable price tag is also a big bonus, and it allows for a little trial and error with what colours work for you.

I bought this product on a whim, and was originally disappointed. I have dry skin that can be a little temperamental, and I was looking for a face moisturiser that worked but didn't break me out. This didn't work very well for that (being that it isn't the heaviest moisturiser), but I do love using this as a body moisturiser. It isn't super hydrating, but it doesn't aggravate my skin like so many other products do If you have sensitive skin and aren't looking for a heavy-duty moisturiser, this is fantastic. It is very gentle and feels lovely on the skin. Would repurchase and definitely recommend.

I've bought the black and white versions of this liner a couple times over the years, and it's never disappointed me One of the biggest benefits of this liner is the price. It's super cheap, and great if you want to try a new look as there's a decent colour range too. It's not my personal favourite formula, but if you go through liners quickly or need one to take on holiday, it's a great alternative. I used these often in my younger days and they always held up well over the day, and are a more waxy and stiff formula than the other essence pencil eyeliner. Overall I'll continue to purchase these when I can (my local shops are usually sold out - it must be one of the more popular products).

This is the only cleanser I've tried so far that doesn't break me out or dry my skin out.
It's my holy grail cleanser, it's gentle but efficient, and also budget friendly.
The texture is a little weird (gelatinous and creamy) at first but it doesn't take long to get used to.
I've been using this followed by rose water and rosehip oil, which keeps my facial eczema at bay. I would recommend buying a small size first because the feel of the product is not for everyone.

I bought one of the giant pump bottles of this moisturiser during a sale, years ago and still haven't finished it.
When I first purchased it my skin was doing fine and this moisturiser didn't irritate my face or body. My skin has since gotten worse for unrelated reasons and I have stopped using this product on my face, but as a body moisturiser I still really enjoy it.
I have never had any issues with it, but it doesn't provide the deep moisturising that my dry skin needs, and as a result, I will not be repurchasing.

This is one of my regularly used hair care products. It is super affordable, it smells good, and it's great at maintaining colour in between salon visits.
The product itself is quite hydrating but I would say it's more of a toning product than it is a hydrating product. It smells like the rest of the Touch of Silver range, which personally I quite enjoy. I apply this product every now and then and it's great at maintaining colour. The product is like a condensed version of the Touch of Silver regular conditioner. Overall, a great affordable option and I will continue to purchase it.

This is a great product if you have bleached hair but don't want to go overboard with toning and end up with purple hair.
I have been using this product for a while now because it is cheap and effective at maintaining my preferred hair tone, but also leaves my hair nice and smooth.
It's quite a light consistency, and personally, I like to leave it on for 5 minutes or so to get the full impact of the product. It smells like the rest of the Touch of Silver line but I don't think it's overly noticeable with dry hair.
If you prefer a heavier conditioner, I also recommend the intensive conditioner from the same line.
