Firstly, big thumbs up for the environmentally friendly packaging! I love the idea of a squeeze pouch and this should definitely be adopted by more companies. When it comes to the new Biore Yuzu Lemon Brightening range, I absolutely loved the exfoliating scrub, really liked the cleanser and this clay mask was my least favourite of the three. I'd highly recommend the scrub to clear and brighten your congested skin, not so much for this mask...found it okay. I think it was slightly harsh (which was not the case with the other two products), and kind of irritated my skin a little. Like many others have said, I think this would be ideal for someone with more oily/combination skin or as a spot treatment. I gave it to my sister to try and she experienced slight irritation too, compared to the usual clay masks we use which are more soothing and don't leave your skin feeling stripped. Overall, I've probably said this a thousand times already but go for the Yuzu Lemon Exfoliating scrub!!

I was really impressed with this cleanser - it really does brighten up your skin from the very first use. My skin felt fresh, clean and bright. The jelly texture is easy to lather and wash off, and the light citrus scent wakes me up in the mornings! From the outside it's very unsuspecting, but it definitely does have a nice 'Japanese skincare' feel to it. A simple yet very reliable cleanser you can reach for every day and depend on to get rid of all the nasties on your face. Paired with the other exfoliating scrub from this range, the products basically cleared up all my congested skin and breakouts from months of wearing masks. I started becoming very insecure about my skin this year, but after using this Brightening range from Biore, I started receiving compliments again on how clear my skin is. However, I do have very dry/sensitive skin and sometimes my skin did feel a bit dry after using the cleanser, but for the effects it has been worth it, I just slather on moisturiser afterwards and it fixes it right up. I highly recommend the exfoliating scrub - that has quickly become a holy grail!

I am going to be purchasing this scrub over and over again - it's so good! After months of wearing masks, my skin got really irritated and congested with lots of bumps and breakouts around my cheeks and jawline. Since I started using the cleanser and exfoliating scrub in this range, my skin has pretty much all cleared up and looks so nice, smooth and bright! It definitely lives up to its claims - even from the first use my skin went from dull and lacklustre to being noticeably brighter. Even though it's not a coarse scrub (just smooth beads), I still feel like it somehow gently removes all the dead skin and dirt without upsetting my sensitive, dry skin. The smell is fresh, clean and light, and the product really does have a 'Japanese skincare' element to it. It's simple, effective and the only staple scrub you'll need. I've been getting compliments on my skin again lately and I attest it to ths Biore Brightening range. I absolutely adore it!

I was blown away when I first used this. I have very straight and short lashes but this instantly gave me a ton of length and volume through about 2-3 coats. It doesn't budge, flake or smudge on me and remained in tact for the entire day. My only gripe is it does weigh my lashes down a little (so they'll point downwards) but the lengthening aspect is brilliant. It wasn't easy or hard to remove... The brush separates lashes so nicely and fans them out so they're not clumped together and spider-like. I can already imagine this looking absolutely gorgeous on people with already long lashes and look forward to recommending it to my friends so I can see it in action on their beautiful lashes! Length: 8/10 Volume: 7/10 Separation: 9/10 Overall, I will keep using this all the way until the end - it's a great mascara that I would definitely say good things about to family and friends. Thanks BeautyHeaven for sending me this to trial!

So I have been religiously using the same high-end eyeliner for about 7-8 years now because nothing beat it, but when I was offered to try the new Flash Cat Eye from L'Oreal, I said, "Hey, why not, if this turns out to be good I can start saving a lot of money on eyeliner". Needless to say - I was blown away. The eyeliner is jet black and opaque in one stroke, so no layering needed. It glides on so smoothly and gives you the most gorgeous, dark cat eyes ever. I even got compliments on my eyeliner the first day I tried this out. It stayed on the entire day and night without smudging, moving or flaking. What is this sorcery!? I can imagine the attached wing stencil will be handy for a lot of people, although I haven't tried it myself as I've been free-handing my wings for years now. My only gripe is I wish the brush was a little thinner to be more precise, but other than that it's fantastic!! Wow. Will be repurchasing this from now on. Can't believe I found something almost identical to my holy grail I've been using for almost a decade. I've tried a lot of liquid liners from Priceline and this may be the best one yet (at least for my non-oily eyelids).

I found this wooden lip liner pencil very smooth and creamy. However, I prefer my lip liner formulas a little 'drier' so that lipsticks don't bleed and move around. I tried the shade 'Blush Nude' which is a little paler in comparison to my natural lip colour which is a light rose shade. I'm not really sure if this did prolong lipstick wear as the formula is very smooth and smudges easily. Bonus for no taste or smell. It's a very basic lip liner.

The first time I applied this lipstick, it glided on extremely smoothly and felt so comfortable on the lips that I almost forgot it was a matte lipstick! The finish is almost matte, yet is hydrating and non-drying. I absolutely love the packaging - so beautiful, slim and luxurious and reflects the (still affordable) price point. I got the shade 'Rose Quartz' which I feel was not suitable for my light-medium yellow-toned complexion, as it did wash me out. It is a pale pink/rose shade and I feel the name doesn't really represent it. Maybe 'Pale/Light Mauve' would have been more accurate. I like that it feels like a matte balm on the lips, but it definitely does not have the same longevity as a true liquid lipstick. Eating will make it come right off, but it does fade gracefully throughout the day without meals. Overall, I would've adored this lipstick if I had tried another darker shade more suitable to my skin tone. After trialling this lipstick, I have actually browsed online for a deeper shade to buy - so yes, I would 'repurchase' it and recommend it!

I think "Energising" was the perfect word to name this product. I was having a really exhausting week before receiving this to trial, so my skin was super stressed out, dull and lifeless. After I used this mask for the first time, my skin felt energised, radiant and plump. It was like a moisture injection and my skin soaked it all up! It's very gentle and you can feel all the wonderful oils working its magic. My skin really did feel rejuvenated and hydrated again. I don't think I've ever quite used a product like this. It's like a moisturiser but has the effects more similar to what a mask would give you. Great pick-me-up to restore and energise you skin when it's not looking or feeling that great. I have dry, parched skin and this was exactly the thing I needed to achieve that healthy glow again. Absorbs quickly, cute little tube and great formula! I really enjoyed this mask from Kosmea.

I love the calming scent of this massage oil (the lavender and chamomile definitely eases babies into bedtime). The oil has a nice consistency which is not too thick, but a little bit definitely still goes a long way. It instantly moisturises the skin and absorbs quickly to leave behind soft, hydrated and supple skin. The kind-to-skin formula is super soothing and can be used on adults too. I've used it on my legs once to provide a nice subtle sheen/glow! Since I've received this, I've put it in every bath time for the babies as I find it's so wonderful at nourishing their skin and making it happy. We have a few other GAIA products in the bathroom and this is another brilliant addition. Definitely a hit!

Thank you BH for sending me this in the Discovery Bag. I really loved this. For reference I have very long, somewhat-thick, straight hair. I was worried about using this because I don't like wine (gasp!), so I thought it would smell quite pungent and offensive. However, it smells delicious, fruity and fresh (berry vibes)! So sometimes, I even use this on dry hair when I need a bit of a girly pick-me-up before doing out. When used before blow-drying, you're left with very soft and smooth hair that feels hydrated and touchable. Definitely tames frizz as my hair looks very sleek without stuff sticking out, thus I use it when I'm going for that sleek/straight Brazilian hair look. The formula isn't heavy and oily, so it doesn't weigh your hair down or make it greasy. In short, I really adore this delicious leave-in spray, and other women in the household highly agree that it's great too!
