Expert Reviews: The goodies we’re loving right now

The amount of products on the beauty shelves can be a little overwhelming – to say the very least. Luckily, we’re here to do the hard work for you. Our bh experts have put a few products to the test, so you don’t have to. Whether you’re after smooth skin, luscious lashes or pearly whites, we’ve got you covered. There’s even one for the guys. So what are you waiting for?

Mary Kay Timewise Microdermabrasion Set

bh’s Aimee says…

“As I’m no longer in my mid-twenties, I’m starting to get concerned about the early signs of ageing. Lucky I’ve got this Mary Kay set on my side! It’s a 2-step system, and I noticed a difference in the texture of my skin from the first use.

The first step is an exfoliator, which is so fine, it doesn’t feel harsh at all. The second step is a lightweight serum with a pearl effect to make skin glow. I followed these products up with my usual night cream. While I did experience a few tiny breakouts after using the set, they didn’t bother me, as my skin tends to react like that every time I introduce something new. I’m sporting a smoother complexion, which I’m very happy about!”

L’Oreal Mega Volume Miss Manga Mascara

bh’s Carli says…

“I’m a bit of a mascara fiend, so when I read the Trial Team reviews for L’Oréal Paris Mega Volume Miss Manga Mascara, it went straight to the top of my have-to-try list. Thankfully, I wasn’t disappointed with the results. I applied one or two coats for an everyday look, so I didn’t really test out the whole ‘doll eye’ thing, but I found the brush made it incredibly easy to apply the mascara to my bottom lashes (I have trouble with this when using wider mascara wands) and corner lashes. The overall effect was exactly what I wanted: lengthened and defined lashes. I’m lucky my lashes have a bit of natural curl, so I didn’t notice too much of a difference there. Overall, I can definitely see why the Trial Team rated this beauty so highly!”

Colgate Optic White Express White

bh’s Debbie says…

“First up, I love the flavour of this toothpaste – it’s not a traditional peppermint, but more like that winter-fresh chewing gum taste, which I much prefer. While I didn’t really notice any whitening after three days of use, my teeth definitely became whiter and brighter after about 2 weeks. Now, it’s been a month and I’m very pleased with the results. The toothpaste itself feels slightly warm as you brush your teeth, but it’s quite a nice sensation – it makes you feel like you’re getting an effective clean! I was really happy with the clean, fresh feeling in my mouth after brushing, and impressed with the longer-term whitening results.”

Gillette ProGlide

bh’s Luke says…

“While I like the five o’clock shadow look, there are occasions where I need to be more ‘presentable’ and go clean shaven. I usually dread those moments, as most blades can’t get through the rougher hair, meaning I end up with painful cuts on my face. The Gillette Fusion ProGlide and Gillette Fusion Hydra Gel might just change that – they gave me a clean stroke, and the advanced cushion-like safeguard protects skin before the blade starts slicing through the hair. Afterwards, my skin feels soft and smooth with no cuts or rashes, so I can rinse off the blade, wipe my face and head to work without any fuss. The quick release button to change blades is an another benefit.”
