First off, this isn't a cream. It's a thinner, more watery moisturiser that's actually much better suited to day wear as it absorbs quickly and doesn't need the night time length to 'soak' into the skin. Unfortunately it just wasn't thick or moisturising enough for my skin. I would wake with dry patches of skin around my chin and nose with no apparent effect from this product, and worse than that, it would irritate my skin if I applied it straight after cleansing. To prevent a horrible burning sensation, I would have to first apply another moisturiser before this Sukin one, which kind of defeats the purpose...? Overall, perhaps good for day wear on slightly dry skin, but definitely there are far more superior products out there.

I wanted to add a gel into my curly/wavy hair routine and decided to start with this one. That was a good choice! I add to wet hair after first working in a leave in conditioner and curl cream, and then diffuse my hair. The gel forms a fantastic gel 'cast' (without being too crunchy!), and then I scrunch it out. Not only does the gel have great staying power, you need to use a decent amount before you get that crisp, flaky look. It is lightweight and really makes a difference in my definition.

I absolutely love this product! I have long, permed hair that is brittle and needs constant moisture, and this mask does a great job. I use it for a deep condition after clarifying once a fortnight, and also every couple of days as a leave in conditioner. The trick is to apply a very small amount to soaking wet hair and then comb through. It is very rich so too much will leave a greasy film. I then scrunch through and apply my curl products. For the amount of product I regularly use, the price of this is affordable for daily use, while also leaving my hair soft and supple.

This was an impulse buy! I have 2a/2b permed hair and needed a curl styler so I grabbed this to try. When used with a hair conditioner and a gel, it gives great results! Most frizz is gone, and you can apply quite a bit of product before it becomes crunchy. Overall it can't compare to more $$ curl products, but for what it is, is well worth the cost!

I have curly hair due to a perm which has resulted in my hair forming 2A and 2B curls - unfortunately my hair is naturally fly-away and frizzy and needs styling to help tame those waves. This cream is my go-to after any shower or dampening to help reshape and define my waves. It honestly makes such a difference! No crunchiness at all, and leaves the hair soft and silky. I use it nearly every day!!

So much wrong with this product, it's hard to know where to start! The 'tip the bottle over and pray like crazy that it doesn't go everywhere' dispensing method is so annoying - seriously, how hard is it to change to a pump mechanism instead? The formula is quite sheer and illuminating - you definitely need powder of the top to minimise shine, as this formula just exacerbates it. It is buildable, but ends up kind of glossing over imperfections, far than actually covering them. For the price, I will definitely not be buying this again.

The first thing that hits you as you open this tub is the lovely, strong rose scent. Thankfully for me, I love all rose-scented products, but I can imagine that this could be a bit overpowering for other noses. I was a bit wary of using this on my face, as the texture is so thick and creamy that I was afraid of clogging my pores. So initially, I used this as a hand cream and then a body cream for dry areas like my ankles, chest etc. It left everything it touched so smooth and happy, and my lovely soft skin lasted for days afterwards! I have really dry legs so I was really happy with how well my skin responded to this product. I then tried using this as a night cream and woke up to smooth, happy skin that had no irritation. My skin tone also looked better, probably thanks to the vitamin e, which really seemed to work it wonders. Overall, this is an awesome all-round cream, perfect for when you just need one product to do the job. I’ll definitely be purchasing this again!

By far my favourite aspect of this serum is the gorgeous scent that hits you as you apply it! It’s lovely and subtle, but with beautiful jasmine notes – not overpowering at all. And I love that there are no nasties – yay for happy skin! It’s a great, light texture that applies easily and is quickly absorbed. I only needed 1-2 pumps to cover my face, and tried it both on it’s own and with a moisturiser afterwards when my skin was more dry. It didn’t leave my skin greasy or oily, but rather refreshed. I also didn’t break out at all either, which is great! I definitely felt as though my skin looked smoother and brighter after having used this a few times, so I also tested it out on my chest, which was dry and sad after several months of breastfeeding. It helped brighten and nourish that delicate skin, so this product is a win for me! Thanks Glow Lab!

My hairdresser recommended this brand to me after I recently got a beachy waves perm on my waist length hair. It really does a great job at cleaning and moisturising my hair, and has a lovely subtle scent. I double cleanse my hair to remove product build up, and find that it doesn't foam much on the initial cleanse, so I recommend washing twice with this product. I also only wash my hair twice a week and it does an ok job at keeping my hair's condition, though I always use a curl definer and leave in conditioner afterwards. I was super disappointed to find out recently that the second ingredient is actually sodium laureth sulphate, as this can be quite damaging to hair in the long run. Because of this, I won't be purchasing this product again as my hair is prone to damage and needs the best care possible.

I've tried body brushing in the past but never had a proper brush to use so I was excited to trialing this one from the January Discovery Bag. First impressions - wow. This is one good looking brush, well made and an awesome size for my little thick legs. I hate when body brushes are so small that you feel like you a scrubbing your legs with a toothbrush! I also love the tie in the handle so that you can hang it up after use. I was surprised with the 'scratchiness' of the bristles though - the fact that they felt so irritating meant that I felt like I could only lightly brush my legs without actually really working the brush and its bristles like I ideally ought to for the best results. My skin looked clearing after using the brush, but because I never felt that I could really 'work it' into my skin, other skin issues were unchanged. Overall, something good to try, but not for me. Perhaps the hubby's less sensitive skin will appreciate this...
