Fa - Active Pearls - frischer Rosen-Duft (Fresh Rose fragrance) - Antiperspirant Deodorant
This is a nice, reliable antiperspirant.
The scent I would describe as soap-rose.
I don't know what the 'active pearls' refers to, it isn't lumpy or anything.
Price: 5/5 ($2.16 for 50mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Cien - Men - Rasierschaum Fresh - Shaving Foam
For men... nah, for me!
This is a shaving foam that works pretty well.
It has a mild generic 'male cologne' scent which isn't too unpleasant.
It isn't irritating, which is also super important.
Price: 5/5 (~$2 for 300mL)
Scent: 2.5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

The Body Shop - Body Cream - Fijian Water Lotus
I wasn't sure I would like this scent, but I was so wrong!
It's marine, aquatic, floral and playful!
It is also delicate and quite a fresh scent.
It is less thick than the body butter but thicker than a lotion.
It absorbs well and leaves the skin feeling amazing.
I am SO tempted to buy the perfume of this scent!
Price: 3/5 ($26.95 for 200mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 4.5/5

Neutrogena - Hydro Boost - Water Gel - Moisturiser
I got this as a sample in a Bellabox.
It is a translucent, hydrating cream which is very lightweight.
While it is hydrating, it is no more so than the average sheet mask.
The smell is faint, clean, and fresh.
I was glad to feel that this wasn't too gelatinous (which would open it up to easy pilling).
I don't feel it gives 24 hr slow release moisture like it claims to do.
Price: 4/5 ($24.99 for 50g)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 3/5

The Body Shop - Drops Of Youth - Youth Cream
I loved the concentrate from this line, so I thought I would try the cream.
It smells the same as at serum, a fresh green scent.
It it rich and absorbs well, but I must say, I don't feel it worked as well as the serum.
It did leave my skin firmer and more moisturised.
So I would recommend just going for the serum.
Price: 2.5/5($42.95 for 50mL)

Masquerade! - The Face Shop - MasCream sheet
It was only very recently that I was able to buy anything from the Face Shop because I went to the Highpoint Shopping centre store. The Melbourne Central store is always very uninviting and hostile.
(There, I said it! I'm calling you out on your invasive and annoying staff! Deal with it!)
This mask had the most wonderful cream serum that was just divine on one of my four recent flights
The scent was fresh/soapy and the sheet mask cloth was very soft.
*Aeroplane air is recycled and very drying to the skin. I can either look a little silly wearing a mask mid flight or have haggard skin upon arrival. I choose the former.

Crabtree & Evelyn - Torocco Orange, Eucalyptus & Sage - Bath & Shower Gel
This smells so wonderful! Its orange rinds, mild eucalyptus, and a medium note of sage.
It works as a unisex scent and is so fresh and unique.
It lathers up so well and cleans nicely.
Put it on a shower puff (you don't need much) and you will have suds for days!
I only have two wishes for it:
- It wasn't so expensive (not going to happen, its Crabtree & Evelyn)
- The scent would stay on the skin for longer.
Price: 1/5 (RRP &28.00 for 250mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
