I recently tried this and was really impressed. It's lightweight and went on really smoothly. A little went a long way and its gel like consistency was easy to apply.My Make up went on smoothly and this primer really help to make it last - even after a full day of work and chasing after my children and dog. I really appreciate that it is silicone free. I have combination skin and this did not leave my skin overly dry or oily - in fact it seemed to help keep the oil at bay and retain a matte look.

I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I'm so glad I did because I most likely would not have bought this otherwise (but I will going forward). I have combination skin which gets particularly dry in the winter. This did the trick. It kept my skin moisturised without being greasy, all day. The gel consistency is great - lightweight and absorbs easily. It's not scented, which I really liked and a little went a long way. As the packaging is quite large, it would be great if they made refills so we can reuse the plastic jar. Otherwise, this is now a staple on my shelf. -

This provided a gentle massage on my face and worked to really cleanse my skin when a bit of face cleanser was added. I like how there were a few different speeds and movements, as opposed to my foreo which only has one setting. It's a bit large for travelling but good for at home use.

I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I generally buy mineral sunscreens as chemical sunscreens allow UV light. The general problem I find is that they do not always blend in well leaving a white cast on my skin (since they sit on top of skin unlike chemical sunscreens) and they can feel a bit chalky. This wasn't the case with this product. It "absorbed" easily, felt lightweight on my skin and did not leave any white marks. See photo - you can't see any of the normal white traces other mineral sunscreens leave.
Mineral sunscreens tend to be more expensive and while Aveeno is likely to be higher then the average like blue lizard brand, after using it for the last week I think it's definitely worth it. I also have combination skin and found that this did not make my face only oilier then usual in my t-zone and it kept my drier areas around my cheeks hydrated.
Would definitely purchase again!

This patch does what it says. Tried it over two spots and after leaving it on overnight and throughout the day, it extracted out the gunk! The patch looks invisible unless you look close up and was comfortable. It had staying power as it stayed on through a shower. I did have to leave it on way longer than the recommended 6 hours but other than that, it worked perfectly!

Absorbed easily into my skin and left my face hydrated without feeling greasy. Pleasant light scent and a little went a long way. I normally find moisturisers leave my skin a bit greasy if they are too thick but this did not. The consistency was just right and my skin was left soft and supple. -

I grew up using Tylenol but moved overseas for a number of years. My children were born overseas and we had to use what was available (calpol, neurofen, etc). When I moved back I switched to Tylenol, however my kids didn’t care for the taste. The recently had a summer cold and I tried this grape flavour. It was a hit! Instead of having to bribe them with a treat to finish their medicine and have a water chaser at the ready, they asked if it was the grape flavour and then took it without any fuss. The efficacy was the same - as reliable as always. Would purchase again. -

This was my first time trying Van Houtte and I was pleasantly surprised. Coffee had a smooth taste and wasn't bitter. I drink my coffee black and was impressed by the bold and rich taste. No issues of dilution with ice and while the ice melted a bit at first, the drink quickly cooled down to a normal ice coffee temperature. I would definitely purchase for the taste again but wish the cups were compostable. -

My kids (5 and 9) have sensitive skin that tends to be dry and can get itchy and tight, especially during cooler months. This body wash really helped to moisturise their skin and kept it hydrated. It was gentle to use on their faces and I wasn't scared of the police showing up as none of the kids screamed bloody murder when it got accidentally into their eyes. It had a pleasant scent that wasn't too strong and it didn't leave them smelling like a fruit basket which some other brands do. I would definitely purchase this again. The pump made it easy to control how much the kids were using (they've been apt to squeeze out 1/4 of a bottle from other container types). -

Used this only 5 and 9 year olds. It absorbed quickly and didn't leave a greasy feeling. Kids liked that the consistency was more 'slime' like instead of a heavy cream. Mild scent which wasn't overpowering. Product was easy to get out of the container, even for my 5 year old. Left their skin moisturised for the evening. Would definitely use again.
