I have been blown away by how much I have loved using the L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Midnight Serum. I have seen great results using this serum over the past month! It is so lovely to apply and with actual results I would get excited to use the product morning and night. Let’s start with the look of the bottle - it is chic, luxe and very elegant. The minimalist bottle makes this product look luxe! However, it would have been nice to have the how to use instructions on the bottle making it easier to remember how to use. Beauty Heaven shows the price of the serum at $60 a bottle, which personally I cannot justify the cost. However, I have seen it in Priceline for $36.00 for the serum which I think is a very reasonable price for this product. The squeeze dropper makes it easy to pick up the serum into the dropper and then to squeeze onto your hand. The serum texture is thicker than most serums, but don’t let that fool how lovely it absorbs into your skin when applying. I have sensitive skin and I find a lot of serums will aggravate my skin especially after having a shower. The midnight serum didn’t irritate or cause any flare ups at all. It actually felt soothing to apply. My skin has felt more hydrated and has been less dry since using the serum. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy. It absorbs nicely into my skin. The serum boasts an Antioxidant Recovery Complex to stimulate intense skin cell regeneration and I do believe that I saw and felt the results.

I am always on the lookout for good conditioners that help with growing my hair long and keeping it the healthiest condition that it can be. I was very impressed by this amazing conditioner. The conditioner comes in a very nice coral coloured bottle and the lid is at the bottom of the bottle which means it makes dispensing the conditioner very easy. The texture of this conditioner is very thick without being too heavy. The scent of the conditioner is divine it is sweet and fresh. And the best part about this conditioner is that it truly leaves my hair without any knots. My hair becomes extremely knotty after I wash it. And I could not believe that every time after I used this conditioner and I went to comb my hair the comb glided through my hair and there were no knots! It truly detangles your hair and it is fantastic.

I have naturally curly hair and although I wash my hair every day, I only use shampoo once a week. I tried this shampoo twice, once using it leaving my hair curly and the second time I used it I straightened my hair. The shampoo bottle is so cute and the colour of the bottle is a lovely coral colour and makes me so happy every time I see it in the shower. The scent of this shampoo is divine; it is sweet and very fresh. The texture of the shampoo is very nice not too thick or runny. The shampoo lathers very nicely and you don’t need a lot. I did find that for me it was too drying for my hair and I felt like it was stripping my hair of its natural oils. My hair is quite fussy when it comes to shampoo so it might work better for other hair types. The shampoo is enriched with Keratin, Vitamins and Castor Oil, which are to protect against breakage and reduce split ends.

I have fallen in love with the Elvive Dream Lengths No Haircut Cream! I cannot recommend it enough to people who are looking for an amazing leave in hair treatment. I use it daily on my long hair. I am always looking for products to help promote healthy hair and I am always trying to avoid having my hair cut. I love the cute bottle this cream comes in with a very handy nozzle to easily dispense the cream into my hand. The cream has a very nice creamy texture and it easily disperses through my long locks. The scent of the cream is lovely, not too sweet and has a clean fresh fragrance without being too intense. My hair definitely feels a lot healthier and smoother since using Elvive Dream Lengths No Haircut Cream. This product has so many great features; it protects hair on heat of up to 180°C, it hydrates your hair, reduces frizz and adds shine to long lengths.

I was lucky enough to be selected to be on the Beauty Heaven trial team for the Nude by Nature Complexion Essentials Starter Kit. I have been wanting for a long time to try the Nude by Nature products and just talked myself out of it because I thought it would be too difficult to use powdered based products. A colleague of mine swears by Nude by Nature and her makeup always looks amazing! The Nude by Nature Complexion Essentials Starter Kit is a really nice option when you want to try mineral makeup products. The kit comes in a gorgeous black cosmetics bag which is very practical and looks very chique. I believe the Complexion Essentials Starter Kit is great for when you want a “barely” there makeup look or natural makeup style. Perfecting Primer: Overall I wasn’t that impressed with this primer, I felt like you needed a lot to cover the face as is didn’t blend well and was slightly sticky. It didn’t feel like it was smoothing out to prime my face ready to apply the powders. Perfecting Concealer: this concealer is pretty awesome at covering the dark circles. It is quite a cream liquid concealer that covers dark circles very nicely, it also is crease free and provides hydrating and antioxidant benefits. It blended very well and had a nice texture to it. Radiant Loose Powder Foundation: the thing to remember about the powder foundation is that it is a buildable coverage, so you can have a very slight coverage to an almost full coverage look. I wouldn’t say you can get an over the top full coverage, which is why I mentioned earlier it’s a more natural makeup style. Natural Glow Loose Bronzer: I learnt the hard way that less is more with the bronzer. The first time I tried to use this I applied too much bronzer to my brush and didn’t shake off the excess before applying. Once used correctly this bronzer offers a very nice subtle bronze look and has good lasting Translucent Loose Finishing Powder: the finishing powder is an absolute must! It is a very soft powder that helps create a satin finish and keep your makeup look last the whole day. The Brush is really super soft and created a very flawless finish.

I was fortunate enough to be selected on the Beauty Heaven trial team to review The Nude By Nature Defining Lip Pencil. Let me start by saying: what a fantastic lip pencil, finding the right lip pencil that works perfectly is hard! The Nude by Nature Defining Lip Pencil is brilliant I was very happy with the results and the ease of using it. The colour of the lip pencil is an attractive shade and suited my skin tone extremely well. I found it to be a creamy and pigmented texture that glided over nicely outlining and perfectly contouring my lips which stopped the lipstick from smudging out over my lips. I found that it did great lasting a long time and stayed strong for most of the day. The pencil sharpened easily. The best part about the Nude By Nature Defining Lip Pencil is how amazing it is for your lips! It contains the best active natural ingredients including Australian Macadamia Oil, Vitamin E and Shea butter. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a new lip pencil.

On initial application the lipstick is a medium cream and is quite smooth. It has a moderate pigmentation and a very nice clean colour. Unfortunately, this lipstick shade did not suit my skin tone and my Husband commented that it made me look 20 years older. The lipstick sits on lips and moderately moisturising on the lips. It’s a matte, with a soft colour tone, which is totally perfect for a day look. Comfortable on the lips, however I found it slightly drying and it did show up cracks on my lips. The Nude by Nature Creamy Matte Lipstick lasted around 3 hours with light drinking. Re-application made lips feel dry; you would need to apply a lip balm in between. Unfortunately it fades more quickly on my lips than other lipsticks that I use. Moderate transfer, by the end of evening it has smudged to the side of lip and above lip.

I was fortunate enough to be selected to try the Pantene Pro-V 3 Minute Miracle Daily Moisture Renewal Conditioner for the Beauty Heaven trial team. And I am extremely happy to report that I had amazing results from using this conditioner. This conditioner comes in a stylish gold squeeze tube, which makes it easy to dispense the right amount of conditioner into the palm of your hand. I found this conditioner texture to be very creamy without being too thick. Like the Pantene Pro-V Colour Protection Shampoo, this conditioner has a beautifully sweet and fresh scent. Although this conditioner suggests to be kept in only 3 minutes, I chose to keep it in 5 minutes. I then took a wide tooth comb and combed through the conditioner. Normally I have a lot of knots in my hair but the comb easily glided through my hair making my hair feel immediately smooth and soft. My hair felt really nice wet. I let my hair dry naturally (which is curly) and once my hair dried it felt so soft and clean my curls looked a lot nicer. My hair did look like it had improved and reduced the damage. I straightened my hair with my flat iron and the tongs glided through my hair easier than normal. My hair looked and felt amazing after straightening it. It felt very soft and silky. Honestly my hair felt and looked like I had gotten my hair done at the Hair Salon it was that beautiful. Normally after 2 days my hair starts to get greasy. But on day 2 after using Pantene Pro-V Colour Protection Shampoo & Conditioner my hair still felt clean and soft, I couldn’t stop touching it. By day 4 my hair started to get a little greasy. Overall I am really impressed with this shampoo and conditioner, it exceeded my expectations by far and I will continue to use both the shampoo and conditioner.

I was fortunate enough to be selected to try the Pantene Pro-V Colour Protection Shampoo for the Beauty Heaven trial team. Before the trial I had a very negative and low opinion on Pantene products. However after using the Colour Protection Shampoo & Conditioner and seeing amazing results my views completely changed. The shampoo bottle shape is a really nice shape and size with a perfect flip lid to dispense the shampoo. However the shampoo comes out very quickly so you need to be careful when pouring it into your hand. This shampoo lathers extremely well, you only need a small amount to cover all your hair nicely. The smell of this shampoo is divine it is fresh and sweet all rolled into one. After rinsing off the shampoo my hair felt really nice and gave the squeaky clean feel without being to over drying. The trial of the Pantene Pro-V Colour Protection Shampoo wasn’t long enough to review the Colour Protection component.

The foundation bottle comes with a nice clear cap that snaps on easily. The pump also has a lock function which is fantastic, so if you lose the cap, you can still lock the pump so when you put it in your makeup bag it doesn’t accidentally pump foundation out and get messy. The lovely round bottle is easy to hold, with a great pump mechanism making it easy to disperse product without being messy. The texture of this foundation is very smooth and light, a little bit of foundation goes a long way. Just 3 pumps of Foundation can nicely cover my entire face and neck. I tried applying the product with my fingers, a foundation brush and a makeup sponge. I got the best/even coverage using my fingers. The foundation suited my skin tone beautifully. I believe I have been wearing other foundations that have been to dark/too orange for my skin tone. Finding a beautiful soft foundation that suits my skin tone has been wonderful. The Max Factor Miracle Touch Foundation provides a full coverage finish that looks completely natural, with a beautiful matte finish. The blurred effect covers all my imperfections and makes my skin look flawless and smooth. However it does not last all day nicely, by about 4pm the foundation starts to flakes and fades away. It had a popcorn smell, which can be overpowering. However, I like the smell of popcorn so it does not bother me. Overall I really like the Max Factor Miracle Match Foundation and will continue to use this. I would buy again and would recommend to friends if they are looking for a new foundation.
