Such a great cleanser, and I can tell already that it's going to last for AAAAAAGES, saving me so much money, and plastic waste too.

The best, low price cleanser out there. It's so gentle you can use it on your eyes to remove make up. Great for sensitive skin, won't dry skin out. I use this as a makeup remover and cleanser, and my tween daughter and teenager son also use it. I lov...

I used almost a whole bottle of this lovely product over winter last year and it worked so well. I found my skin was dry, red and a bit patchy due to being dried out with air conditioning etc over winter. I used it under my normal moisturiser to give...

Great lip balm, very moisturising and has a SPF of 15 which is great. We so easily forget to protect our lips from the sun, so this balm is a great double duty product - a lip balm and sunscreen. There is also a tinted version for when you want a bit...

This is what I have in my bathroom cabinet - love them all.

Great mascara. It has a really good brush that sort of grips your lashes and brushes through them while coating them with mascara to make them go ‘wow’! It has more stickability than the other mascara I use, it doesn't completely wash away with clean...

Great under-eye concealer - brightens up my dark circles really well.

I have used this Benefit concealer for years now. Great for covering up tired under eyes or spots.

Love this bronzer. It's matte, not pearly finish is great. I brush this on my cheek bones, forehead, down my nose and chin to give myself a bit of colour (where the sun would naturally hit). 
Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer powder bronzer for face

I don't have many eyebrows, or they are not very dark so I fill them in every day. This is the one I am using now. I love the fact that will be able to use almost all of it as I sharpen the pencil. Others that are ‘wind up’ don't let you use all of i...adorebeauty.co.nz/referral.html?referralId=1073546924943998984_c5t2junkg4n03c4pqpsg

Nourishing skincare for dry skin, or over winter

In winter my skin dries out a lot, so I change up my products.

The 3 pack is great - one for the bathroom, car and handbag. I use this on my face as it is very moisturising and soothing, without feeling greasy. I also use it on my hands as they get very dry as well. (Amazon affiliate link)

If you use it on your face it is very gentle, but make sure to avoid the eye area or close your eyes tightly as it stings if it gets in your eyes.

We tried this from our dermatologist's office - it was really nice. Gently foaming, but not drying at all.

This is really good for very dry or uncomfortable skin. I tried it on my hands that were getting so dry - after washing and rinsing they actually felt moisturised! Our child used it on an area of skin that was dry, itchy and rashy and could also feel...

Teenage/oily skin

Great cleanser for oily skin. My teenager uses this and it works really well. It has very fine particles in it which function as a mild exfoliater.

I can't wait to try this mask for our teenage son. I really think it will help draw out any excess oil and clear his clogged pores.
