I bought these because I thought they would be good for travelling, but they really are not suitable for my needs. They are quite small, just 4.5 cm square. I don't wear a lot of makeup but always use a tinted sunscreen or CC cream and to remove it I have to use a lot of these pads. They are good for removing mascara but that's about it. I always cleanse twice and hoped these would be a travel friendly alternative to the oil I normally use. But they are'nt. I would recommend them for eye makeup removal because they are about the right size and soft and gentle.

This comes in a small tube with a brush that looks like a small mascara spoolie but has shorter bristles that makes it easy to use precisely. I think the word 'Glue' is a bit misleading as it doesn't have a strong or hard hold, it's simply a sticky gel and definitely won't glue your brows. It's easy to remove at the end of the day. To use it just brush your brows with some product on the applicator in the direction you would like them to sit. I find this much easier to use than a brow soap, I don’t need to drag it roughly through my brows. I didn't get my brows to stay in place all day with this however, I have to reapply it during the day, but usually only once. It's a much more pleasant and user friendly option in comparison to a brow soap or pomade.

This does'nt have the texture or look of a gel, it's just a lightweight cream that is a little bit heavier than a lotion. It comes in a tub with a spatula included and has no scent. I really like using this in the summer when my skin does'nt need a heavy moisturiser. It spreads thinly so a little bit goes a long way. It sits well over the top of any serum I choose to use and underneath my CC cream or sunscreen with no problems. This is a great moisturiser that is versatile enough for most skin types.

This is a quick and easy way to remove nail polish. The tub is filled with a sponge soaked in nail polish remover with a slit opening to put your fingertips into. With just a few twists my nail polish is removed, Voila! However it's not really designed for toes, something I should have taken into consideration before purchasing it as I paint my toenails far more than my fingernails. Luckily for me I have long toes, and am quite flexible, it's a bit awkward but I can remove polish from my toenails with this pot, my pinky toenail is a bit tricky to get into the sponge however, that aside it's a very convenient way to remove nail polish and an added bonus is not having to use multiple cotton rounds.

This is a conditioner I had never seen before at my local supermarket and decided to try based on positive experiences I've had with their skincare line. The bottle is long and narrow with a push top lid. It claims to be for dry and damaged hair so I thought it would be perfect for me, but I was disappointed with it's performance. My hair does'nt feel well conditioned after using this, it does'nt coat my hair easily and I have to use double the amount of conditioner I would normally use. It lists some nourishing ingredients but I think it needs more if it's marketed at dry or damaged hair. I like that it's silicone free, but many other silicone free haircare products work better. The scent is described as Lavender, Cedarwood and Bergamot, it's a very faint scent and on the ingredients list it simply states it's Parfum (fragrance) so I don't think any essential oils are added and it's synthetic. It just does'nt hydrate or nourish my hair in the way I expected, and I won't be purchasing it again.

This is a cleanser that it dispensed via a pump as a light foam, it does'nt need to be shaken vigorously or lathered. It's light and airy and cleans my face effectively as a 2nd cleanse. I always cleanse twice to remove my daily CC cream. This is ideal to use after the Dr LeWinn's balm cleanser. It contains patented ingredients that claim to be anti-ageing but I don't think they are of any value as this cleanser is thoroughly rinsed off, and then followed with a toner as part of my skincare routine. However it is a good alternative to a lotion or cream cleanser for people with dry or sensitive skin.

This shampoo is'nt too runny and lathers up well. It promotes on the front of the bottle that it does'nt contain the ingredient Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, and while that is accurate their are other ingredients that produce the lather and bubbles that so many consumers like and expect. If you are fussy about what is in a shampoo then read the label before purchasing it. This shampoo effectively cleans my hair, it leaves it clean but not squeaky clean. It contains glycerin which I like, however their are'nt a lot of conditioning ingredients and I think they leave it to the glycolic gloss conditioner and 5 minute lamination treatment to soften and moisturise your hair. When used alongside them it leaves the ends of my hair feeling very soft, which is not something I have experienced with any other conditioners or treatments I've used from other brands. In addition to being a great shampoo the bottle is made from 100% recycled plastic, is produced in a factory that uses 100% renewable energy and for 30 years L'Oreal have been against animal testing and pioneered other methods for testing their products.

This comes in a tube compared to most other balm cleansers I've used, on one hand it is more hygienic than a tub, but on the other hand it can be hard to squeeze out, it was quite difficult to squeeze when I first opened it, towards the end it dribbled out a bit more liquid than balm. It is not as smooth as other balm cleansers but it melts easily with water and removes makeup and sunscreen effectively. I think the addition of ceramides in the formula is unnecessary as it's all washed off and is designed to be used as a first cleanser, the brand recommends following with their gel cleanser. The smell is unpleasant, while I am not usually an advocate for added fragrance in skincare products I think this formula needs one. This is a good budget option for people who would like to try a balm cleanser but not something I will repurchase unless my skincare budget has to be reduced significantly.

This is a nice hand cream that sinks into my hands quickly and leaves them feeling soft. The scent is pretty and feminine, I find it hard to describe scents but it is floral with a hint of something else, not too old fashioned as a lot of Gardenia scents seem to be. The smell is very strong for about 5 minutes then mellows a bit, but is still quite prominent. I prefer to use this at night, so the scent of it won't interfere with the perfume I use during the day. I'm also the sort of person who likes to fall asleep with nice and relaxing scents nearby. It could be a little bit more hydrating though.

This mascara has a wand and applicator brush I like, the bristles are spread apart and the stem is thicker at one end. The colour is definitely the 'Blackest Black' with no softness or blue undertones. I do need two coats though, and have to be careful it does'nt clump together, but the wands bristles are of some help. I have'nt noticed any difference in the condition of my lashes since using it, The Hemp see oil is a bit of a gimmick I think, and it does'nt lift my lashes. I would'nt pay full price for this, it is'nt the greatest mascara out there but it does the job.
