I love the Body Shop and my absolute favourite scent from them is strawberry. I have the hand cream, shower gel, moisturiser, body mist, etc etc. from them so I was suuuuper pleased when the strawberry body yogurt turned up at my door! I love the scent of this product, obviously. It has a bit more of a 'creamier' scent than the rest of my strawberry products, almost like an actual strawberry yogurt. It is very strong and find that it lingers so if you purchase this product make sure it is a scent that you love! I like the packaging of this product, it's just a simple tub with a screw on lid. I do prefer pump bottles however the tub-style packaging allows me to get all of the product out so that is a plus. The texture is strange (but in a good way!), it looks very thick but I found that it's quite thin - almost like a gel. It spreads out easily and a little goes a long way so you know that you're not going to have to buy a new tub each week. It also absorbs very quickly (this morning I put jeans on about 20 seconds after applying the body yogurt and my legs don't feel greasy at all!). As for the moisturising aspect of the body yogurt, I find it to be great. My skin feels soft and smooth and it has help considerably with my dry (somewhat flaky - sorry!) legs. Overall, I definitely recommend this product. I will be repurchasing in the near future as well.

My hair is pretty long, I have some split ends and a lot of frizziness. This conditioner smells amazing. It has a sweet smell which I love. It's also a great thickness - not too thick that it weighs down your hair but not too light that its effectively water. I was super excited to use this conditioner as I'm always looking for new products to moisturise my hair/ends with. The application was super easy and my hair felt smooth, however once I washed the conditioner out my hair did not feel good. Unfortunately, my hair felt dry and brittle - almost as if someone had combed hair spray through my hair or something. Once dry, my hair was still frizzy (although the conditioner does not claim less frizz, I feel that a good conditioner leaves your hair less frizzy) and it felt knotty and not at all detangled. A positive though is that my hair was not weighed down at all by the conditioner. For this reason, I will not be repurchasing this product.

My hair isn't 'supremely' long, but it is quite long. I have dry ends and oily roots and my hair is quite frizzy and has a wave to it. Initially, I was really impressed with this shampoo! I loved the sweet smell of the shampoo and it lathered up really well. My hair felt so soft after I washed it which was amazing because my hair normally feels so gross and dry after I wash it, regardless of what shampoo I use. I was so excited to have shiny, straight and smooth hair when I got out of the shower! However, my hair still remained frizzy which isn't a big deal. I continued to use this shampoo however I had a realisation that it was causing excessive hair loss! The last time I used this shampoo I literally had clumps of hair coming out! As anyone with long hair would know, hair loss isn't anything unusual however it was quite the shock to literally have clumps of hair coming out into my hands while I shampooed my hair. For this reason, I will not be repurchasing.

The Rimmel London Lasting Finish Breathable Concealer is a great everyday product. It comes with a sponge applicator and in a squeezy tube. I'm not a huge fan of these types of products as I feel as though there is a lot of wasted product in the sponge, and the same applies to this concealer. I also wasn't a fan of how hard the sponge was, I couldn't blend out the concealer at all and I actually found it quite painful if I tried to apply the product from the sponge directly onto my undereye. Despite this, I still think that this concealer is a great product!
It offers a medium coverage and is super easy to blend. It's also really lightweight which is great if you are going for a natural look.
I have pretty dark undereyes so I do need to use a little more product than normal, however it isn't too big of a deal I find the longevity to be pretty good. It isn't as long-lasting as the matching foundation, however it does still last a decent amount of time (approx 6-7 hours). Overall, I think that this concealer is great for someone who wants a nice, natural look.

The Rimmel London 25hr Lasting Finish Breathable Foundation is incredible! I love everything about it; the coverage, the finish, the application! Firstly, the application. I love the big doe foot style applicator which ensures that I get the exact amount of product that I need. By having this applicator rather than a pump - or nothing at all - I don't waste any product and if extra coverage is needed in areas, it is super easy to add the exact amount of product that I need. I don't take my foundation out with me, but if I did I think that this applicator would allow touch ups throughout the day to be super easy and quick. The foundation is super easy to blend in (I use a wet sponge, e.g. beautyblender) and glides over the skin. I love the look of the foundation once on - it looks natural but is still medium coverage. It covers redness, lighter freckles and evens out the skin tone but still lets my darker freckles and a small amount of natural cheek redness to shine through which ensures that the foundation looks natural and like I'm really not wearing anything at all. Lastly, the longevity of the foundation is great! It lasts all day on me which is essential.

I was so happy to be asked to trial these Sally Hansen products, so thank you to Beautyheaven!
This topcoat came in a gorgeous bottle. It looked quite elegant if I’m honest. It’s a clear bottle with a rose gold cap. The brush is very wide and the perfect size for my nails, making the application easy. Now on to the actual topcoat. I was impressed with this topcoat, but not as impressed as I was with the actual nail polish. It left my nails shiny, but I don’t think it really helped with the longevity. I didn’t use the top coat on a few of my fingers and didn’t notice a difference in the wear after 5 days. Overall, I think the top coat is good but nothing really special. While it does make your nails really shiny and pretty, there was no real difference in the longevity of no top coat vs top coat. The packaging definitely was nice though and the brush is great and makes application very easy.

Thank you to BeautyHeaven for letting me trial these nail polishes! I got a lovely deep turquoise shade named “Teal Good”.
I have a huge problem with nail polish chipping on my nails within a day, so I always just opt for getting them done at the salon but that gets quite expensive after a while. Because of this, I was really looking forward to trying the Sally Hansen “Colour Therapy” nail polish line. I definitely put the nail polish to the test (working on cash registers and also writing and typing in school) and was surprised at how long this polish actually lasted on my nails – the polishes say “argan oil formula” so I’m not sure if this is why they lasted longer or if it is because the formula itself is very good.
It lasted five days before I decided to take it off (due to it being a little too chipped) which is a great result for me The formula is very good – the polish is completely opaque with only one coat. I did two as per the instructions and also because you can still see the texture of my nail underneath with only one coat. I love the packaging too, it’s the typical Sally Hansen bottle but it has a rose gold cap which is always a win for me! Overall, I’m pleasantly surprised with these polishes and would definitely recommend them to a friend. I’ll be picking some new colours up too (especially because they're very reasonably priced).

I absolutely love this body balm! I've never tried a body balm so I was excited to try this one out. My legs are really dry and flaky so this was just what I needed. It's rare to find an exfoliating product that is also moisturising so I enjoyed testing this one out.
I found it a little bit too messy to use outside of the shower so I'd definitely recommend just using it in the shower. It made my legs feel amazing after shaving too.
As the name suggest, it’s a balm consistency and it lathers up a little bit in the shower. It has little bits in it that feel like bits of sand – but in a good way. My legs are left feeling smooth and hydrated, especially when I use the Trilogy Body Oil afterwards. Overall, I’d definitely consider repurchasing this and would recommend to my friends and family.

This is a great body oil! It's moisturising and doesn't leave an oily residue which is always good. The packaging is really nice with a plastic bottle and pump. I love that it has a pump because it just makes it so much easier to control the amount you're getting. I also love that it’s unscented so it doesn’t mix in with my perfume.
It’s super thin so it absorbs quickly yet this doesn’t affect how moisturising this oil is. I applied this daily after showering and after using the Trilogy Exfoliating Body Balm, it pairs up great with the body balm.
Overall this is great and definitely worth trying out if you’re after a body oil. However, I won’t be repurchasing (not that I will need to anytime soon – this lasts forever!) just because it’s a little expensive in my opinion. I’d definitely recommend this if you have dry skin and will definitely suggest it to my friends and family!

If I lost all of my skincare + make up, this would be the first thing I repurchased. This is my all time favourite moisturiser, it's super hydrating for my dry skin but does not feel greasy or leave any residue. My skin looks brighter and I feel like it's even helping my redness. I apply 1 pump of this (sometimes a little extra for under my eyes) morning and night and it works great for under your make up. Overall, PROS - Very moisturising - No oily residue - Only need 1 pump for the whole face - Great to use under your make up - Great packaging (pump + nice bottle) CONS - $49, high end brand
