I would totally recommend this item for someone to try because I think the range overall is really effective and delivers fast results.
With this masque, however, I didn't really notice a huge difference over using just the regular conditioner. I'm sure it gets deeper into the hair than the conditioner does but I just think the conditioner was so effective that I'm not sure I'd need to use this again!

I love this range! The shampoo made my hair feel amazing just using it alone, and my hair feels even softer when I use the two together. The only thing I would say is quite a lot seems to come out of the bottle when I squeeze it so I could see myself going through a bottle fairly quickly!

I was super excited to try this range because my hair has been super dry since I moved back to the UK a couple of months ago.
The first product I tried was this shampoo on its own and I noticed after just one use that my hair was significantly softer. I would definitely recommend this!

This seems like a fairly good quality product. I've never used a jelly primer before and I must admit it was a little bit difficult to get an even amount out of the tub using just my fingertips and without getting it all up my nails!
This made my skin look quite nice after using it, but since I have oily skin this was just a little bit too greasy for my liking. I wouldn't choose it over the primer I currently use.

I got this product free as part of the Product Review Club.
Let me start with my first impression of this product - the bottle isn't great. It clearly just has a cheap, bog-standard spray top, and it doesn't mist evenly over your face, just sprays it onto one part of your face, meaning you have to use more sprays than you would with other brands.
This spray smelled a lot more chemical-y than other setting sprays I've used, and to be honest I didn't really love it as a setting spray. It was nice for spraying after showering to moisturize my skin a little and as a little skin refresher after getting home from work.
I think there are way better setting sprays on the market for a similar price.

I use a BB cream every day, but because I have oily skin, I always use an oil-free one because otherwise they make my skin feel greasy and horrible. This was the case with this one. It clearly should not be used for people with oily skin.
I was also sent this product in the lightest shade available, which was LITERALLY white. Does anyone actually have skin that pale?? I have very pale skin and when I'd applied this, I looked sick. This would be great for Halloween though if you wanted to look like a ghost.
I won't be using this product again, but that doesn't mean it won't work for other skin types.

I initially purchased this simply because I ran out of heat protection spray, and Tresemmé is my go-to brand for that, mainly because of the value. I've used their Thermal Creations mousse in the past, so I figured I would give this a try.
I wasn't really expecting much in terms of the blow drying acceleration, because that wasn't my main reason for purchasing this. But oh my god, I can't believe how well this works.
I normally never fully blow dry my hair in the mornings because my hair is so thick that it takes forever. I usually just do the roots, and then leave the rest to air dry. But recently I had my hair cut in such a way that when left on its own, it just goes poof, so I now have to straighten it in the mornings to make it not look completely wild. I don't think I would be able to without this spray. I don't know how it works, but I am able to dry my hair in a fraction of the time it used to take.
What really pushed me to write this review and let others know how well this works is that this morning I forgot to put this spray on. I dried my hair for as long as I normally would, and it just wasn't drying. I couldn't work out why it was taking so long until I realized I hadn't used this spray.
Seriously, if you are someone who blow dries their hair every morning, this spray will save you so much time getting ready. Plus, it's super affordable. Win-win.

I tried this product through ChickAdvisor's Product Review Club, along with the regular daily lotion.
I was excited to try these products because, while I don't have SUPER dry skin, the skin on my legs doesn't retain moisture very well, so is pretty much always dry. I moisturize and it's fine, but over the course of a day it gets dry again.
Initially I tried both of these products together - the lotion in the mornings after showering and this cream before bed.
This cream IS greasy, but that's to be expected in a product that contains Vaseline, and since it's an overnight cream, I'm only getting in pyjamas after using it so it isn't a big issue. I did notice, however, that my legs still felt a bit greasy in the morning, so my skin didn't completely absorb it even over eight hours or so.
The reason I'm giving this cream such a great score is because of the miracle it worked on my hands. My hands dry out very quickly when there is a slight drop in the temperatures, which happened right before I received this product. At night, I made a point of applying some to my hands as well as my legs and not washing it off even though it made my hands super greasy (they didn't wake up greasy, though, so they obviously absorbed the cream better than my legs did). My hands now feel SO soft and moisturized, and I haven't even used the cream for a few days now, for reasons you'll see below.
As I mentioned at the start of my review, my skin isn't "extremely" dry, so since this product is aimed at people with seriously dry skin, I feel like this is a little bit of an unfair review. I have since given this cream to my dad, because his skin on his legs is so dry that he's constantly scratching it, so I feel like that will be the ultimate test. I'll update this review once he's been using it for five days or so to see how it's helped him.

Initially I tried both of these products together - this lotion in the mornings after showering and the overnight cream before bed.
I definitely feel like my legs are more moisturized than they were before I started using them. My skin is still dry before using it, but not as bad as it was before. This lotion says it will start working in five days, and while I definitely saw an improvement after five days, it has been even more noticeable after continued use.
My biggest issue with this lotion is that it's kind of greasy. It isn't really surprising given that it contains Vaseline, and I feel like it's definitely not as heavy as the overnight cream so they've definitely made some adjustment to the formula, but it does mean that it's almost impossible to put on jeans after using, so it does make it difficult to use on a daily basis. Maybe I'll continue to use this, but only on days when I'm not wearing jeans, or when I'm not in a hurry to get ready and so can sit around with no pants on for 15 minutes or so, haha.

NYX Professional Makeup Soft Matte Lip Cream

This is one of the better matte liquid lip products I've used. It gives a great, even colour, and doesn't feel really dry on your lips like some do.
It's not perfect though so it's not my go-to liquid lipstick. The reason it doesn't feel dry on your lips is because it takes a while longer to dry than most liquid lipsticks do, so there is plenty of opportunity for it to either smudge or come off entirely if you eat/drink/kiss something.
You do have to reapply this quite a few times throughout the day as it doesn't survive eating anything. And given that the tube is a little bit on the smaller size, I do wonder how long a tube of this will last.
