Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Manderine Basilic is a lovely fresh scent that is perfect for summer.
This fragrance starts off with a very strong citrus scent that I found a bit off-putting at first, but it quickly fades to a more subtle scent that has only a hint of the citrus mixed in with floral notes. This then settles into a spicier earthy scent with subtle citrus and floral notes.
The final scent is one that I really like. I don't wear scent often, but this is one that I would definitely enjoy wearing on an evening out. A little goes a long way, so use it sparingly unless you enjoy a heavy scent.
Overall, this is a nice scent that hits many of the notes I enjoy. It's more expensive than the perfumes I normally use, but if price is not a factor this is a good choice. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

I have been using Guerlain Abeille Royale Anti-Aging Fortifying Lotion Toner for almost a month. My first thought was that although it smells amazing, I was sure this was going to cause me to have a bad reaction as I am usually sensitive to scented products. I was pleasantly surprised that this lotion did not cause any itching or burning like other scented products have in the past. I did notice a slight increase to my natural redness though.
The toner itself is a watery consistency. I tried applying this with cotton rounds and by using my hands to pat it into my skin. I preferred using my hands as it wasted less product and also helped my hands feel smooth.
From the first application, my skin felt a bit softer and smoother and it helped with my dry cheeks. After a week or so I noticed a little improvement in firmness.
Overall, aside from a little extra redness, this toner worked well for my skin. I recieved this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

I like the idea of a tinted moisturizer cutting out a step in my routine. This moisturizer provides light to medium coverage depending on how much you use. I have a bit of a sunburn and this did help cover some of the redness and matched my natural skin tone pretty well.
I have combination / dry skin on my face and I did notice that the tinted moisturizer was a bit cakey in my drier areas. It also felt a little greasy at first, but did sink in a bit with time. The coverage did last all day, but I did find that the patchy areas got more noticeable with time.
While this tinted moisturizer doesn't have a great smell, it isn't unpleasant either.
Overall, this tinted moisturizer is a good option if you don't have drier patches like me. I did like the coverage on the unaffected areas and I really like that this contains over 98% naturally sourced ingredients and I would have given it a higher rating if it contained SPF.

I received 100% Natural Origin Volumizing Mascara in the colour "Classic Black" for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
This mascara worked really well to give my lashes more definition and volume. It was easy to apply and did not leave my lashes looking clumped. I did not even need to brush them afterwards.
It lasted all day and I did not notice any flaking, which I have noticed a little with other Burt's Bees Mascara. It also came off very easily with micellar water.
Overall, this mascara worked well and lasted all day. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

I received 2 100% Natural Origin Defining Eyeliner in the shades "Mulberry" and "Onyx" for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
I really liked both of these colours, especially the Mulberry, as it is a beautiful shade of purple. They were fairly pigmented, but did not last long on the waterline.
These liners glided smoothly when testing them on my hand, but were a little less smooth when applying to my eyelids. They worked better in the waterline but still required a second pass.
I like that they contain Jojoba oil and Shea Butter, which helps to nourish my lashes to keep them healthy. I also really like that they are retractable.
Overall, they are decent liners for everyday looks, but might not be suitable for more dramatic looks.

I received 2 100% Natural Origin Matte Sticks in "Liquid Honey" and "Buttery Blush" for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
The Matte Sticks provide more of a light tint upon first application, but they are buildable to a more noticeable colour if that is what you are looking for, however, they will never give you an opaque colour.
They do not glide on as smoothly as I would have expected from a product containing Jojoba, Kokum, Cupuacu and Cocoa Butter. Although they are not as drying as other matte lipsticks I've tried, they are also not as moisturizing as I would have hoped. The colour does not transfer to glasses or skin once dry, but the colour will need to be reapplied after eating and after a few hours of wear.
Overall, this is a good choice for anyone looking for a nice tint of colour that isn't drying. If you are looking for a long lasting more opaque colour, this is not the right product for you.

Burt's Bees 100% Natural Moisturizing Lip Gloss in the shade "Flushed Blush" is a nude colour that gave my lips a lovely shine with the barest hint of sheer colour. This works well as a gloss and as a lipstick topper.
It has a light pleasant smell when first applying it, which quickly fades. The gloss glides on smooth and, with ingredients like Avocado Oil and Shea Butter, leaves my lips feeling hydrated.
The gloss does need to be reapplied throughout the day, but what gloss doesn't? Overall, it is a great choice, especially for natural products lovers like me.

SOAE Revitalizing Rose Petal Sleeping Mask smells amazing! It smells like roses, but is not too strong. It has a gel texture, which I really like. It feels cooling as it goes on and is easy to spread.
You can use this after cleansing or after you apply serum or moisturizer. I like to use the SOOAE Rose Mist before using it. It recommends using a generous amount, but honestly you don't need that much product to get a nice coverage. In the morning you can wash off any excess.
My face feels so smooth after using this mask, which I noticed after the first application.

I was gifted @seventhgeneration EasyDose Ultra Concentrated Laundry Detergent Free & Clear in exchange for my honest review.
The EasyDose technology took me a few tries to get used to, but I really liked it once I got the hang of it. Open the cap, turn the bottle upside down, give one firm squeeze and it releases the right amount of detergent for one load of laundry. Less mess and less waste.
The detergent cleaned my clothes well, even in cold water, which I prefer to use. This detergent has zero dyes, synthetic fragrances, or artificial brighteners. I have sensitive skin and prefer my detergent without dyes or perfumes. I also like that it is 99% plant based.

I was gifted Schmidt's Lavender and Sage Natural Deodorant in exchange for my honest review.
This deodorant has a lovely fresh scent of lavender that is noticeable but not overpowering. It is one of the few natural deodorants that I have tried that actually lasts the whole day without needing to reapply with normal every day activity.
The texture is similar to most natural deodorants I've used. It is a bit gritty and more creamy than solid. It was easily applied, but did leave a bit of residue on my skin and clothes. This washed out easily, unlike some other deodorants that leave a film that is hard to wash off.
I really love that this deodorant is free of aluminum, propylene glycol, parabens and pthalates. It is also certified vegan and cruelty-free.
