This heated eye mask was very easy to use and quite impressive. The masks are very travel friendly so I used this whilst I was travelling. I loved how easy it was to use and that it heated up so quickly to a comfortable temperature. The mask soothed my tired eyes and helped me relax.
I would definitely recommend these as they are perfect for pampering after a long day and also for travelling.

I was very excited to have been chosen to test and review these products. Curel is the first Japanese skincare brand that I have used and I have to say I am impressed! Japanese skincare is well known to be high end as a lot of scientific research goes into the production of such products and I had high expectations.
I thoroughly enjoyed using all four products and they certainly do their job. The makeup cleansing gel removes traces of makeup without irritation. The facial wash was followed and this left my skin squeeky clean without tightness. The moisture lotion prepared the skin for the intensive moisturiser facial cream. This combination left my skin soft and hydrated.
Overall, perfect skincare products for dry and sensitive skin.

Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Bronzer

Once you open the cute little box, the first thing which comes to your sight is the blue coloredbrush. Aww! it is so cute! The brush is so convenient to use and nicely shaped. Unlike the brushes which comes with most bronzers, this is something you can really use to contour, not blending though. Love the soft bristles of the brush, but its sad they have used animal hair. If this downside is neglected, the brush is amazing, small and cute, easy to carry, creates perfect contour lines, soft and gentle on skin. Next thing which you notice when the hoola box is opened will be the small mirror. Very useful for touch ups, I must say. Now that we are done with admiring the beautiful blue brush and the small mirror, lets move ahead to the real thing. Once you remove the brush you see a medium brown, not too dark, not too light, bronzing power, which is deeply and carefully set inside the box. Coming to the texture, I love the texture of the hoola bronzer, more creamy than powdery. No, I am not saying it has a cream texture, but the particles are so finely milled that it does not feel like a powder. When applied on skin it blends beautifully that even if you are new to contouring you can easily work with this one as it blends really well with the foudation, no harsh lines (hurray!) Another good thing about the hoola bronzer is that it is super-matte, not even the lightest shimmer. The advantage of being matte is that it looks very natural on the skin, which also means no cakey or muddy look. -

I’ve used this since I was a child. Despite being given steroid cream, I always turned back to this. For me it was the only cream that worked. With steroid creams my skin would just become immune to it and it would stop being effective. With E45 it just constantly performs leaving my skin moisturised, soft and no longer sore and flaky. Would definitely recommend. -

This is an excellent multi-purpose skincare product. It can be used as a moisturizer, a mask, a makeup primer and a makeup remover. This cream is very moisturizing and it nourishes and soothes skin. It is a thick and rich cream. Only a small amount of cream is required when being used as a moisturizer. It needs to be massaged into the skin, after which it absorbs quickly. This product performs extremely well as a primer for makeup. It keeps foundation hydrated throughout the day. If you want to use this product as a moisturizing mask, apply a thick layer and leave it on the skin for 15 to 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, wipe away any excess product left on the skin. This cream also removes makeup well. Apply the cream directly to the face and rub gently. The cream will breakdown all makeup, even waterproof makeup. Rinse the skin and proceed with cleansing as usual. This cream is slightly expensive, but it is a great multi-purpose product and I highly recommend it. -

I must admit that this palette was a lot smaller than I anticipated (approximately 4 1/2" x 2 1/2"). However, with the in-palette mirror and absolutely adorable top cover artwork, it's perfect for travel or one's purse. I love pinks so if you don't, this isn't for you. Also, out of the eight shades, there are only two mattes, the lightest still being too dark for my fair complexion to wear as an overall base. The two larger pans ("Fresh Stem" and "Opal Rose") do make for great brow-bone highlighters though; just wish one of those was matte especially since the shades are similar (I think "Fresh Stem" is the warmer of the two). I also like that the shade names are printed on the back of this mini palette because it's just fun (it's not as though I need to know a shade name in order to use the makeup). As with previous experiences with Smashbox shadows, these are one swipe, smooth application and they're long lasting with great color payoff. I always use an eye shadow primer anyway so no creasing either. Keep in mind, if you can't see from the picture, these shades are pink so if pink is your go to like it is mine, even out of all of your other palettes, you will still love this one. If you do not care for pink, I would steer clear but check out other Smashbox shadows then as I have only recently starting wearing this line despite knowing about it for quite some time and I am a now a number one fan. Finally, I have very sensitive lids and have had no discomfort wearing any of these shades. They are metallic, not glittery which helps with fallout and prevents irritation. Just to clarify one last time as well, the two matte shades are the two end shades; the lighter is called "Nude Rose" and the darkest shade out of them all which I wear frequently wear toward the outer lid is "Coffee Blossom" which blends out beautifully. I am also pleased that the palette is manufactured in Italy, as the cosmetic manufacturing practices are similar to those in the U.S. Very high quality product. -

I bought this to replace a much more expensive brand of eye makeup remover which i have been hooked on for a few years... The bottle i used to buy was £18 for 125ml and i cried every time i had to re-buy it, but i could not find a replacement that was anywhere near as good :( THEN... I saw this on sale and thought i would give it a try, and i am SO GLAD that i did. For me, it is perfect. It is a mixture of an oil-y and a water-y solution, which you shake before use. It is not greasy at all melts makeup away without the need for (much) rubbing, leaving the skin feeling slightly moiturised but not clogged. I now use this all over my face to remove all of my makeup. I honestly love it! and it smells SO GOOD. -
