Micellar water is a huge staple in my routine so I'm very picky about it! It has to be gentle yet able to remove long wearing makeup. I'm happy to say that Nivea's Micellair Water fits the bill.
Its so gentle on my skin and it doesn't sting my eyes, yet it removes stubborn makeup without scrubbing. I will definitely purchase it in the future!

I've been using this cream for a while now and I find it to be somewhat underwhelming. I don't love the tub - it's messy and annoying to close after applying the cream.
The cream itself is thick and very rich. It feels heavy when first applied and a tad greasy. The greasy feeling fades but the heaviness remains. I found it to be hydrating on my skin that was 'normal' but not so on dry patches.
All-in-all this cream is just ok. I would purchase it on sale but I wouldn't pay full price for it.

I'm all about tanning in the summer, but I'm not about premature, aging so I reach for self tanner regularly. I usually start out with a mousse and then use a milk or lotion to maintain it.
Even though I apply boat loads of sunscreen, I always end up getting a real tan by this time of the summer. In order to test this out I decided to pick the palest part of my body (stomach) and apply this to half of it. I applied it before bed and by the morning I had an ever so slight tan. I applied it again and the results were definitely noticeable, but not anywhere near as deep as my natural tan or the faux tanner I normally use.
So although I appreciate that it does work, is streak free and doesn't smell like DHA, it just isn't dark enough for me. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a light and natural tan.

I was happy to review this item for free and although I love the idea behind it, sadly it just didn't do it for me. The lozenges were quite chalky and not very minty - similar to an antacid chew. I can't see myself buying these in the future.

Eyebrow Pencil in Brunette is 99.9% natural and formulated with jojoba oil and shea butter. It's so creamy, easily blendable and very longwearing. It's a bit too soft to do detailed strokes, but it's great at filling in and shaping my brows. A definite winner in my books!

Mattifying Powder Foundation is 100% natural, lightweight and non-comedogenic. Its made with bamboo to blur imperfections and smooth skin. I personally feel like this is more of a setting powder than a foundation as it's so light that it borders on translucent. It feels really nice though and it blends like a dream. It also comes with a mirror and a sponge making it travel friendly.

Goodness Glows Liquid Foundation is 98.9% natural and is described as an all day, medium-full coverage foundation with a radiant finish. I received the shade 021 Linen Beige and it's an ok match for me, a bit more peach then I like (I would prefer it to be more yellow). The finish is nice initially, but it just feels so uncomfortable and wears terribly on me. I found it heavy, oily and it transferred if I touched my face. It slid around and when I tried to set it with powder, it caked up badly. It's a miss for me.

I love dry shampoo for its convenience, but can't stand heavy white residue in my hair. Some dry shampoos are worse than others, and thankfully, this one is isn't one of them! The white residue in this shampoo is so minimal to the point of almost nonexistent . It soaks up excess oil fast, is easy to blend and smells fantastic. Once I finish the complimentary sample I received, I will definitely be purchasing another! -

I'm always on the hunt for the perfect summer lotion that hydrates but isn't overly heavy. This is it! I love the fresh scent and light texture of this lotion. A little goes a long way and it instantly smooths and hydrates my skin. It feels light on my skin leaving no heavy or greasy feeling at all. The price is very reasonable too!
