I bought this as part of a gift set with the clay mask and the facial scrub. I haven't tried the other two products but not yet this one. I was very hopeful for this product because I had been wanting to get a hold of an affordable moisturiser with lots of active botanical ingredients and this fit the bill. Unfortunately though, it breaks me out. This is almost certainly due to the relatively high concentration of cocoa butter in this. Cocoa butter is highly comedogenic but is very moisturising - therefore great in body moisturisers. Not sure why Sukin decided to use cocoa butter in a face product, probably because it's moisturising while being cheaper than shea butter. In addition, I'm not a fan of the smell of this - it's not altogether unpleasant but it just smells quite strange and not at all refreshing to me. All in all not a total loss, I still use it on my neck and it's worked well there. The search continues!

I wasn't necessarily expecting much from this as it's once of La-Roche Posay's 'cheaper' products but I ended up loving it. Like Lipikar Baume, this had lots of shea butter, a holy grail ingredient for me. I prefer the texture of this to Lipikar Baume though and feels really nice on the face. The addition of a Centella asiatica derivative is a huge plus - Centella is one of those next hype ingredients coming out of korean skincare and it's amazing. I find it's great for my sensitive skin and a little goes a long way. Like other LRP products, this doesn't have the addition of fragrance and I like that in this product. Not sure if the 100ml version is available in Aus but if you can find it, do yourself a favour and grab a couple of tubes.

Personally I found this product not moisturising enough for my dry skin. I appreciate what Sukin is trying to do in terms of using 'natural' ingredients but I found the sesame oil in this wasn't as nourishing as I'd like and also broke me out a little when I used it on my face. When used on my body I found it just didn't give me the moisture I needed, even after using it straight after a shower. Not much of a smell at all, the texture is a little strange though. The tub is big and sturdy - you get a lot of product for the price, especially because I bought it for half price. I just wish I had liked it more.

Trial team review I was fortunate enough to trial this as part of the regular trial team. I had never tried a Kerastase product as I've been a bit a dubious about 'salon' products but this one definitely pleasantly surprised me Firstly, the stuff is housed in a really cool little bottle and it makes the juice look like liquid gold! Also the product smells divine in my opinion...smells very figgy almost like a not-as-nice version of my favourite perfume: Diptyque Philosykos. I used a small pump is a post wash serum which is how I use my other hair oils, including Moroccan Oil. The product feels almost like a dry oil but slightly more oily...if that makes sense. But it definitely doesn't feel greasy or heavy. It really helped tame my frizz and make my hair lovely and smooth and it make feel luscious at thick too, and normally my hair is quite thin. I did take a star off because one: it's quite expensive I think and probs not worth the money and two: I found the product leaked a little bit from the pump and so there is a thin film of the oil on the bottle, which is quite annoying.

I was fortunate enough to be able to test this as part of the trial team. And I'm very happy I did because I really liked the product! The packaging was simple and fairly compact for the product it was holding. The wipes were easy to dispense from the packaging and simple to use. There was a smell to the product ( I believe this also comes in an unscented version?) but it was pretty light and fresh. I normally hate highly scented products but this one was pleasant and very tolerable to my nose. As you can imagine for a wipe, it was very easy to use and very convenient for wiping off makeup and doing a quick cleanse. I like to use it after a long night out when I can't be bothered to wash my face before bed. It did a good job at removing the makeup and cleansing and didn't leave my skin too dry. Overall I liked the product and would consider repurchasing.

First of all a disclaimer that this is the first BB Cream I've used so I by no means claim to be an expert on such things.However, I have been using tinted moisturisers for a number of years as I like light coverage The packaging is pretty cool. It's light and compact enough to easily fit into your handbag. I like the pointed dispenser as it makes getting a small amount of the product out easy. There is no real discernible smell which is generally a good thing for me as I don't like harsh artificial fragrances in my products and my skin is increasingly sensitive to them. The product itself comes out as a fairly runny white liquid with coloured beads. Somehow these magically blend out to a skin toned colour on your skin. The formula blends easily and is lightweight on my skin. It also has a matte, but not TOO matte, finish. The medium was a bit too dark and orange for me. I have light to medium skin. However, the light worked well and provided the light but tone evening coverage I look for. Overall I like this product and will continue to use it.

This was the first scrub I bought when I was in my teens and I still buy it every now and again. It works super well, but is also gentle and non-drying on my skin. I love find the smell very comforting and natural.

Not sure this even needs reviews but here goes! It's great to use a lipgloss if you can stand the taste/smell. It's also great on minor burns and cutes. I've also heard that people use them on their eyelashes to stimulate growth. I've now moved on to Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream but VPJ is a great value alternative!

These have handy cutting lines if you want to make smaller strips for those small areas. The wax is easy to warm between the fingers and relatively unmessy to use.It's also easy to remove it with warm water or a bit of oil.

I prefer Matte or pearl bronzers and this is just too shimmery for me. It does, however, work as a highlighter but perhaps not for paler skins.
