My first thoughts were the packing is quite nice and different from the usual packaging on fabric conditioners. I like the new texture of the bottle and the size too and much prefer the new cap to the previous ones it’s better for less mess. I like the fact it’s now 2.5x concentrated and uses less plastic to make the smaller bottle too and is also made from recycled plastic. The price is very good currently only £3.50 at the local supermarket and lasts a very long time too. The spring awakening scent is lovely smells like fresh flowers and cotton, not too sweet or over whelming. As it’s a concentrated product I would test it on a small amount of clothes and trial it out a bit if you have very sensitive skin or are sensitive to a lot of detergents etc just to be sure it won’t irritate you. The scent lasts a long time and I can wear clothes for upto 3 days and still smell fresh. You can also hang your clothes outside using this product and will still get the same scent and cleanliness, the only difference is you can also dry them inside and still smell just as great. The product doesn’t leave any white marks etc on your clothing like a lot of products do and doesn’t irritate my skin. Overall love the product and will be using it over and over again makes my clothes feel baby soft and smells amazing. -

My first impression of the product was you get a huge bottle filled to the top with product for a very reasonable price so your definitely getting your money’s worth. I also love that they included the safety feature where you twist the end to stop it being able to spray out so great for packing if you travel so it doesn’t leak or if a small child accidentally gets hold of it they won’t be able to spray it. The spray itself has quite a strong citrus scent and smells of oranges and lemons such a nice spring scent. I cleaned my bathroom using the spray and went back after a few hours and it still smelled fresh and clean. The spray nozzle has a good mist of product it sprays out a lot of product but distributes it nicely so only need to spray once or twice to cover a surface. Once sprayed on the surface I left for 30seconds as I do with all sprays and then wiped it away with a damp cloth and it removed dust, dirt and grime from all my bathroom surfaces with ease leaving them sparkling. Unlike some sprays this spray doesn’t leave any sheen or greasy looking substance on the surface it just wipes away all the dirt and cleans no need to polish streaks away after use. the only thing I’d say is if your sensitive to scents and cleaning products I would recommend opening a window in your bathroom while you clean using this spray as it is very strong scent but that is expected as it has such good cleaning power. It keeps me happy knowing the germs in my house are being removed for upto 24hrs after I use the spray as I know my bathroom is still nice and clean and hygienic hours after I clean it. -

I also love that they included the safety feature where you twist the end to stop it being able to spray out so great for packing if you travel so it doesn’t leak or if a small child accidentally gets hold of it they won’t be able to spray it. The spray itself has a nice subtle citrus scent and smells of oranges and lemons such a nice spring scent for use all round the house. I used the spray round my kitchen on my kitchen tops and oven tops/ front of fridge etc and it removed the food, dirt, dust, grime and stains with ease, I sprayed on the surface left for a few minutes and wiped away with a damp cloth. The product dries fast and doesn’t leave any streaks or slick on your surfaces so safe for use almost straightaway and no need to polish and streaks away. After using the spray i went back after a few hours and my kitchen still had a light scent and still smelled fresh and clean. The spray nozzle has a good mist of product it sprays out a lot of product but distributes it nicely so only need to spray once or twice to cover a surface. It keeps me happy knowing the germs in my house are being removed for upto 24hrs after I use the spray as I know my house is still nice and clean and hygienic hours after I clean it. -

My first thoughts were that this shampoo smells amazing it’s like a clean sweet floral scent not too over whelming but you can still smell it on your hair slightly after you rinse it all off which I like as who doesn’t like their hair smelling amazing!
The bottle is a good size, not too big that it takes up half your bathroom but not too small that the product runs out too fast. It’s also a cute baby blue colour which funilly enough matches my bathroom which I love too.
It made my hair feel super clean and fresh after I washed it out it didn’t feel like it left any greasy film behind on your hair like some drugstore shampoos can do and it didn’t feel too knotty in my hair either.
I’ve tried a lot of John Frieda shampoos and over the years I feel like they have been nailing their formulas more recently as I have been loving the violet shampoo they do for blonde hair, I quite like this shampoo it does the job however it doesn’t completely wow me I’ve tried more interesting and more hydrating shampoos in the past which work better and for the same price range too.
After styling my hair (straightening it, I let it naturally dry) it felt healthy and shiny and didn’t look dry or frizzy which is great as my hair can go curly straight after styling due to humidity however 3 days later and my hair is still straight which is amazing.
Overall it was a nice shampoo and I will continue to use the bottle however I probably won’t buy it again as it didn’t give me too much wow factor and didn’t do a lot for my hair.

If you know me well you know i love a good hair mask some of my favourite ones are also from the drug store and they make my hair feel so soft it’s actually unbelievable.
Just for reference I have bleached blonde light hair that’s naturally wavy and tends to get dry quite easily with the use of styling tools etc.
The mask smells delicious and fresh I love the scent of it it smells the same as the corresponding shampoo and conditioner out of this range so if you choose to use all three products you won’t get a mix of different scents on your hair which can be a bit over whelming to some.
You get a fairly average size tub compare to other conditioning masks; id say it would do about 6/7 uses depending on your hair length and how much you use, I tend to use a good amount my hair is fairly long past my shoulders.
This mask says to leave it on for between 2 and 3 minutes however I tend to use deep conditioning masks for around 15 minutes to get the most out of the product and I feel like it works a lot better for my hair type.
Once I applied the mask it glided through my wet hair easily it wasn’t too thick or too runny so it stays in your hair without the use of a shower cap to lock it all in.
After I rinsed the mask off it did leave the texture of my hair a little knotty however when I went to wet brush it there was no tugging or ripping which is good as no one likes the struggle of ripping your hair out with a brush... ouch
My hair kind of felt the same after using the mask I’m not sure if that’s due to my hairs moisture levels being enough already or if it just didn’t do much for my hair type.
Overall I enjoyed using this mask and it made my hair smell nice however I have used better masks in the past from the same price range which I would most likely opt for.

This conditioner smells amazing
After I applied it I left it on for a few minutes and rinsed it out and my hair instantly felt softer less dry I also noticed my hair didn’t have as many tangles when I went to wet brush it as it usually does.
I found the conditioner from this range worked better than the deep conditioner mask I’m not sure why but it just worked better for my hair.
The mask was easy to use, the directions of use were the same as any other conditioner no need too wait or leave it on too long just apply, wait a minute or two and rinse.
My hair felt hydrated and clean after using this conditioner and the shampoo too
Overall I felt this conditioner was quite standard as any conditioner that’s goal is to hydrate the hair it does it’s job nicely but isn’t overly amazing.

I’ve been absolutely loving this palette since I bought it, the colours are perfect for this time of year so I can’t wait to continue to use it. The palette has 5 shimmer shades and 7 mattes which is a good balance as you will have plenty matte shades to define your lid before choosing which shimmer you would like to apply to add a pop of blinding shimmer to your look. The shimmer shades are super blinding and the pigment is amazing they apply easily onto the lid without having to build them up and can be applied as a strong Pigmented shimmer or blended out to a softer shimmer depending on the look your going for. The matte shades are also super pigmented and blend out easily without going patchy on the eyes, you can also build them up for a more defined look or blend them out for a soft smokey eye. I love how versatile the palette is there’s so much you can do with it to create so many different looks from smokey to bold or even do liner using any of the shades in the palette. I think this palette would be great for all ages as the shades and formulas are fool proof and anyone can use them! The packaging is gorgeous it’s gold with the embossed writing across the front it’s strong and sturdy so if you drop it off your table it won’t (fingers crossed) break any of the shadows inside. Overall I love this palette and can’t wait to continue using it I think it makes a great addition to the UD naked family 🍯 and is another simple yet amazing palette that everyone needs in their collection -

First of all the brush looks super cute the small brush handle has a nice leafy design and is embosed with the gold spectrum logo with baby pink Bristles which I love. The brush bristles are super soft.... like amazingly soft, nothing compared to some of the cheaper brand makeup brushes I own which is better and less harsh for your skin as you aren’t creating as much friction or smudging your makeup underneath. The brush applies powder products flawlessly on the skin and is also good for blending products that are already applied, I also feel like it picks up less products than my other kabuki brush but applies it just the same on the skin. The bristles feel firmly held into the brush and not like they would fall out when your applying your makeup etc however they do feel a little floppy like there isn’t a large volume of bristles in the brush so I don’t think it would be a suitable brush to do precision makeup like highlighter or contour. The brush is super compact and perfect for travel and keeping in your hand bag for quick touch ups throughout the day. The only thing I would say but this is the same with all kabuki brushes is that I struggle to hold the tiny handle as I have big hands but that’s not the products fault. Overall I quite like this brush and will definitely be continuing to use it in my daily makeup routine -

I enjoyed using this face wash I felt like it purified my skin from all the makeup and dirt that had built up throughout the day or on days I didn’t wear makeup I felt it helped to keep my skin clean and help prevent spots from forming.
The mask smells menthol/minty and is cooling on the skin which I like as you can feel it physically cleansing your skin deep down.
It was super foamy once lathered in which I was glad about as there’s nothing worse than a cleanser that’s really dry and doesn’t slip around the skin when your working it in as you feel like your not getting as good a job done at really cleansing your skin deeply.
You get a fairly big bottle for the price which is great and I like that it’s a pump cleanser as it’s a lot less messy to use than other cleansers and a lot more hygienic to use if you share cleansers with other people e.g at a salon etc.
I like that the cleanser has the added benefit of witch hazel as you know aswell as cleansing your skin the cleanser is helping prevent spots and rid of some of that bad bacteria on the surface of your skin.
The cleanser didn’t make me break out which I’m glad about and my skin did look a lot clearer after using this for a continuous period I noticed my skin was healing a little faster from previous breakouts (for reference I have combination skin, only oily in the T zone and only get spots every now and then in small quantities) and I was experiencing less breakouts.
Overall I enjoyed using this cleanser paired with the pore strips and will continue to use them in my daily skincare routine. I can’t wait to see what else my skin gains from using this cleanser and I recommend you try it if you have a similar skin type to mine.

At first I was a bit skeptic to use these eye masks as Putting something that “self heats” near my eyes scares me a little; however I was still willing to give them a try to see what they do.
The “citrus” smell wasn’t that pleasant it smelled like grapefruit which I’m not a big fan of. so if you aren’t a fan of scents I don’t recommend these masks to you as the scent of citrus grapefruit is quite strong however it doesn’t soak into your skin so once the mask is removed you can no longer smell it which is good.
The self heating aspect was more of a gentle warmth nothing too scary so you don’t have to worry about burning your eyes off, it was quite relaxing, picture a warm night in bundled up with blankets and a self heating mask. It was quite enjoyable to use however I’m not sure it’s something I would continue to purchase on the daily more of a one off spa night in purchase.
The design of the eye patches was surprisingly comfy you couldn’t feel the bits that hold the mask on at all once they were applied which was great.
The most relaxing part about using the eye patches were that your forced to close your eyes there for you aren’t distracted by your phone etc and are benefiting that bit more from the “me time”.
The masks lasted about 5-10 minutes before they began to cool down which is great if your in a bit of a rush however I felt like they could have lasted just a bit longer to really give you a good amount of time to sit back and relax. Though you could just use another mask after the previous one has cooled down if you want to prolong the relaxing warmth.
Overall I enjoyed using these eye masks and will keep them for my relaxing spa nights in, I recommend them to those who struggle to sleep at night to use just before bed to help you relax and keep you away from your phone just before bed.
