I've tried the Lumiskin and the Sunday Sesh and think they are both excellent.
I have tried the Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum thanks to BH 2 years ago from a discovery bag. Absolutely love it!
Thanks BH for the BEAUTY INSIDER: MAY 2021 so many great Beauty Products to choose from would really like to try the Lumiskin Cleansing Tool. Great to see Priyanka Chopra Jonas as an ambassador for Max Factor.
She has great hair
So much to love and explore. Welcome to Frenchie – but you're spelling my user name wrong AND I thought of it first!
Ooohhh soo excited for LUSH
L'occitane almond exfoliating soap sounds lovely!
Can't wait to try that watermelon hair mask…and sniff it! And also hello happy skin body cream, not the scrub. Got it at RR, so excited to try!
Very interested in the pre-glued lashes. I wonder how good the longevity is
I had a hair turban ages ago, but oops the dog chewed it up! She was only a puppy at the time, and silly me, I shouldn’t have left it where I did. Oopsie!
So many new products.. the Bioderma Baume and Clinique retinol are on my list to try!
Owwww I’m excited about the Clinique Smartnight the reduction in pores come to mama!! 🙂
Excited about the Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Leave-In Milk
Typos: the Weleda Hydrating Mist has a Clarins link & the DU'IT Cherry Blossom does not have a rose fragrance.
I wouldn't mind trying the EA White Tea Ginger Lily fragrance!
I see a massive court case brewing ….how dare they rip off your name….just shocking.
The cetaphil eye cream sounds like it would be great for those of us with sensitive skin issues.
Really regret not adding the watermelon hair mask to my rr order. though I'm sure it will be on sale in the supermarket before I know it. Sounds Divine. Looks like lots of good buys this month! Will need to exercise lots of self control
I'd love to try the Clinique All About Clean 2-in-1 Cleansing + Exfoliating Jelly.
So many new beauty products!
Lots of interesting new products. I personally love the Innisfree brand and the serum is amazing.
I have a Lumiskin Ava, I want to try the Ardell eyebrow tint. Do a comparison test with my regular brand.
Lumiskin looks great.
Yes to Burt's Bees lip balm, hope it's not too orange though
I want to try that lip balm! This weather has ramped up my need for more moisture.
Love the Wonder Woman themed dry shampoo
I love Locctaine products so this is a bonus for me.
Oooh some lovely products showcased here. I really need some Hask for my hair!
I didn't realise the Bioderma was new. Keen to try more from this brand.
I would love to try something from the Ozstaryan Skin range
Would like to try the Burt’s bees advanced lip repair balm especially for this Sydney weather!
The Clinique cleansing jelly sounds great and I need a new cleanser. I like that Lush has modified their container credit program. Under the old system, I think it was redeem 5 empties for $ off? That means you have to live with a bit of clutter, which is not at all appealing for me.
I'd love to try the lumiskin. it sure sounds great
I want that Batiste wonder woman dry shampoo just for that gorgeous packaging alone!
Fructis Watermelon is in my house. I am looking for the review part.
