Thank you very much to Olay and Beautyheaven for the opportunity to trial and review this cream. I am currently using the Olay Regenerist micro-sculpting serum and this is a good combination. The cream is very light in texture. Applies easily and keeps skin hydrated. I tend to use this at night but would also be fine to use under makeup. The fragrance is slightly strong for my liking, and it smells a bit like shampoo, but this is typical of Olay products. This product contains peptides as the hero ingredient. As typical with Olay products, also contains niacinamide for brightening effect. I find this to be a good maintenance product to use. I don't feel that my lines and wrinkles are reduced or refined, however I do find that my skin stayed hydrated and plumped.

Thank you very much to Beauty Heaven and Neutrogena for the opportunity to try and review the Neutrogena Visible Repair Eye Cream with Retinol. This eye cream comes in a plastic squeeze tube. The texture is light and easy to absorb into skin. No detectable fragrance. I have been using this eye cream for approximately 2-3 weeks, which is the whole time of the trial period. Prior to this, I alternate between a retinol eye cream and an AHA (exfoliating) eye cream in the evening. I also use a peptide only eye cream during the day. The instruction on the box states to use this eye cream 2-3 times a week for the first 3 weeks, then working up to daily use as tolerated. As I was already using retinol eye cream, and the trial period was so short, I did not work the eye cream up. I commenced by using it every night straight away. I was really hoping to see some result. My skin tolerated it extremely well. In fact, in the last when I use retinol eye cream every night, I could almost always feel a slight tinglish feeling. But with Neutrogena retinol eye cream, I felt nothing - no tingling sensation and no sensitivity at all. While I like the eye cream, I cannot say that I see any visible difference to my skin. I took a picutre at the time of trial commencement and then one right on the trial due date. There is no visible difference. I think the retinol is very mild in this product. If I have to guess, I think this eye cream is probably more suitable for a retinol beginner - unfortunately it is not strong enough for my liking.

Thank you very much to Beautyheaven and Remington for the Remington ONE Dry and Styler Hairdryer for trial and review at the Best In Beauty Marketplace 2024. Remington has always been generously supporting Beautyheaven's members events which I am very grateful. In the past 10 years I have owned 5 hair dryers - 4 of which are Remingtons and the other one is a Parlux. I am a professional hair stylist and have a really high standard for hairdryers. Remington ONE comes with 4 different attachments (on myself, I have straight hair and tend to always stick to the one which is the concentrator), 3 heat settings and 2 fan settings, plus a cool shot. I am admittedly impatient and therefore always use the highest heat and fan settings regardless of how many settings there are. I do always use the cool shot to finish off. Pros: I like that the handle comes from midway of the barrel making it easy to manoeuvre around the head. It is not overly heavy and the concentrating attachment is useful. Cons: it is noisy. 2000W is a pretty powerful motor but I find that it is much noisier than my 1900W Parlux - in terms of power the difference seems minimal and I find that I still gravitate towards my Parlux which is slightly less power but less noise. Overall I think this is an option worth looking into - at $150 certainly not a bad choice.

Thank you very much to Beauty Heaven and Remington for letting us trial the Remington One Straight and Curl Styler at the Best In Beauty Marketplace 2024. This is an excellent 2-in-1 tool and it is especially great for travelling - when I want straight and curly hair (or simply can't decide which one to bring) The styler heats up quickly. The end of the styler is heat resistent which can be held onto to press the plates together for straightening. To curl, heat proof gloves would be recommended to wrap sections of hair around the perimeter of the barrel. I think that it is oustanding as a straightener. As a curler, it does a good job but the curls do not last as long as I wish. However, with the use of curling products it helps to make the curls last longer. Would recommend anyone who wants to invest in a 2-in-1 tool to check this one out.

Thank you very much to Beautyheaven and Burts Bees for the Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm to trial and review from the Best In Beauty Marketplace 2024 I have used various Burts Bees lipbalms and I have always preferred Burts Bees squeezy lip balms instead of ones that comes in a twist tube like this one because I find the twisty ones tend to be a bit waxy. But ultra conditioning lip balm is not waxy. It feels different to other burts bees lip balms in that it glides on so beautifully and easily. I also find this lip balm quite moisturising and does not need a lot of reapplying. I am very keen to keep using this and also to test it out in drier winter months.

Thank you to Beautyheaven and Lonvitalite for letting us try the Platinum Contour Roller at the Best In Beauty Marketplace 2024 I love that Lonvitalite is so generous in giving out their $139 contour rollers for the members to trial and review! Lonvitalite contour roller is a platinum coated, luxurious roller that helps with skin absorption of serums. It also helps skin feels "lifted" with its cooling sensation. Lonvitalite feels luxurious to use. The platinum coating also make it easy to wash after each use. I already have a few rollers at home and my issue is time. I would love to be able to sit down and roll 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes at night but honestly between all the 81 skincare steps and sheet masks that I need to use I just don't have time left to roll (let alone washing it after every single use). I also find that Lonvitalite roller is expensive (although luxurious!). I have one from Manicare and it is $25 from big w and it even vibrates. I just think that a $129 roller like this despite how luxurious is not something that I would ever purchase for myself

Thank you very much to Beautyheaven and Revlon for letting members to try the Illuminance range at the Best In Beauty Marketplace 2024. I have been trying a few things from Revlon lately and quite frankly pleasantly surprised at the quality. So excited to see Revlon stall at the Best In Beauty event. We got to choose our own shades for the Illuminance Glow Filter and the Illuminance Serum Concealer. The shades that I chose were Light-Medium for both. The concealer is a great quality product which provides sheer to medium coverage without any cakiness. It sits well on skin, does not flake, does not settle into lines all day. I particularly like using it for under eye and I think it works really well to deflact light to make my undereye dark circles less prominant. The concealer is also essential to be used together with the Glow Filter as Glow Filter itself doesn't have much coverage.

Thank you very much to Beautyheaven and Revlon for letting members to try the Revlon Illuminance Glow Filter at the Best In Beauty Marketplace 2024. I have been trying a fair few Revlon products lately, and have to say that they are a reliable brand with many things that I like. So I was excited when I see the Revlon stall at the Beat In Beauty Marketplace. It is a fantastic idea also that we can choose our own shades. The Illuminance Glow Filter does exactly what it says. It is not a foundation (no coverage) - it simply gives a glow and a blurring effect - just like a filter. I really like the product itself. I think this is just what I need for summer and I always like to let my skin shine without thick layers of coverage. There is a matching concealer which I think is vital for those who would like some under eye coverage. The result is very dewy and on some days I like to add a bit of translucent powder. Otherwise skin can look too oily at the end of the day. The only thing I don't like is the sponge tip application - do not know why a sponge tip is necessary as I feel like it touches the face/hand and then dipped back into the product. Would have been much better to come in a pump. The shade that matched my skin is Light/Medium and I am a MAC NC 25

Thank you very much to Beautyheaven and John Frieda letting members to try the Frizz Ease Hair Serum at the Best In Beauty Marketplace 2024. I have been a fan of John Frieda ever since Beauty Heaven / Beauty Crew invited me to a fabulous trial and have tried so many things from them since. They are an amazingly affordable hair range that really suits my hair needs. I usually find that John Frieda products are on the light touch side (e.g. needed to use more of the leave-in condition compared to other brands) but this is certainly not true with this hair serum! I usually use around about 5 pumps of regular hair oil as leave in for my long hair after wash. With this hair serum - initially I tried 5 pumps - way too much! It is concentrated but I'd suggest that the 1 pump (as per instruction) is not enough either. So I've found my happy place to be 2 to 2.5 pumps, on damp hair. It makes my hair so so smooth, feizz-free, shiny, and also it is a great hair protectant from straightener!! I found that I don't have to use another hear protectant and it works well with heat equipment. Very happy with this hair serum!

Thank you very much to Beautyheaven and Dermal Therapy for letting members to try the Dermal Therapy Sensitive Skin Lotion at the Best In Beauty Marketplace 2024. I have been a fan of Dermal Therapy ever since Beauty Heaven brought them onbaord and have tried so many things from them since. They have simple and effective solutions for everything. This may be my 5th time of using sensitive skin lotion and can confirm that I still really like it! The lotion comes in a sturdy pump bottle. I like that it has a really long pump to conveniently dispense enough lotion for application. It is fragrance free, easy to apply and particularly good for those days when I wear a unique fragrance and do not want my body lotion to interfere with my scent. My skin always feel soft, supple and hydrated after applying the body lotion.
