Lavera - Moisture & Care - Conditioner

This is vegan, silicon-free conditioner which has almond milk and avocado extract.

The scent is a faint vanilla and cream combination, which is very pleasant.

It leaves my hair smooth and not too heavy, which my fine hair cannot handle any extra weight.

Price: 4/5 ($4.69 for 200mL)

Scent: 4.5/5

Effectiveness: 5/5 

The Body Shop - Elderflower Unperfumed Eye Gel

I actually used this as an all over face cream when I went to hospital and it worked really well.
Even though it has alcohol in it, it didn't bother my skin.
I like that it has witch hazel and is lightweight (particularly nice as my room was quite warm).
When put under my eye, it did make that area look happier.

Price: 3/5 ($15 for 15mL)
Scent: 2/5 (nice witch hazel smell, but also an alcohol smell which sucks)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Ultrasun - Face - SPF 30

This is from Glossybox and I love it!

It isn't too thick, doesn't feel too greasy on, and works really well to prevent sunburn.

It is water resistant which is awesome.

It also contains antioxidants and Ectoine (a bacterial product that is meant to stabilize cellular structures and protect skin from environmental stresses).

Price: 1/5 (~$36 for 50mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 5/5

L'Oréal - Hydra Genius - Aloe Water - Normale haut bis mischhaut

This is from Glossybox!

It has a very green scent, with a marine component.

It is lightweight, hydrating, and my oily skin likes it a lot.
I didn't think I would like it as much as I did!

I could see this being popular during summer.

Price: 4/5 ($14.78 for 70mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 4/5

The Body Shop - All-in-One Face Base - 03

This was the powder that I wore all through my German travels last year! 
I wear it for work now and it is still going!
I have hit pan, but there is still heaps left.

This compact has a mirror, sponge and separate area for the sponge.
The design is sleek and it won't open up in your bag.

It is great for setting concealer, muting red tones in the skin or taking shine off.
It isn't heavy coverage, you can still clearly see my freckles under it.

And it feels lightweight, you don't notice it when it is on.

Price: 2/5 ($29.95 for 9g, but it lasts a long time)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Malin+Goetz - Vitamin E Moisturiser

I got this from an in-flight gift pack, and I can see why it would be good for flights.

It is a thin, very hydrating cream with a faint cinnamon smell.

It is very lightweight, absorbs quickly, and would be a good day cream.

Price: 1/5 ($70.00 for 118mL, about 17 applications)
Scent: 3/5
Effectiveness: 4/5

The Face Shop - Chia Seed - No Shine Intense Hydrating Cream

I got this cream from (the nice, not Melbourne Central) Face Shop as a sample.

It is quite a thin cream, with no strong scent (vauge chia).

As far as 'no shine', no simple cream could do that for me, my skin is 90% oil.

But it hydrates well and would be a nice, light day cream.

Price: 2/5 ($40 for 50mL)
Scent: 2.5/5
Effectiveness: 3/5

The Body Shop - Drops of Light - Pure Healthy Brightening Day Cream

I loved using this, although to be fair, I used it as a night cream.
It has a fresh, clean scent and absorbs well.
It doesn't feel to heavy, so you can wear at during the day.

I love how this made my skin look!

The packaging is sleek and has a nice weight (the jar is made of glass)

Price: 3/5 (RRP $42.95 for 50mL)
Scent: 4.5/5
Effectiveness: 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

L'Oréal Paris - Elvive Extraordinary Oil - Nourishing Masque

I got this as a sample in a Bellabox and loved it so much, I purchased a jar!
I usually steer clear of anything that may weigh my hair down (like conditioner), but this just leaves my hair glossy, not heavy.

The packaging mentions 6 'precious' flower oils, which are: chamomile, matricaria (german chamomile), sunflower, sacred lotus, flax, tiare, dog rose. (there are 7 there, but I'm not sure which is the 'non-precious' one)

The scent is slightly spicy, but not strong overall.

It is thick, easy apply to the hair, and has a pretty gold shimmer appearance in the container.
It leaves my hair super soft and shiny :D

Price: 3/5 (RRP $9.95 for 300mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5 

The Body Shop - Vitamin C Daily Moisturiser SPF 15

This was such a delight to used on a daily basis! It smells so nice! Like oranges (or orange-flavoured vitamin C tablet).

I like that is has SPF in it as well, nice to protect the face from the aging Sun's rays.

In addition to vitamin C, it also contains camu camu and sesame seed oil.

It goes on smoothly, soaks in well enough and doesn't feel too heavy.

Price: 3/5 ($29.95 for 50mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Wen by Chaz Dean - Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner

I am not normally one for conditioners, given my weak, thin hair.... but this... THIS!

First, THE SMELL! Sooooooooo good! A lovely, delicate mint mellowed out by the nutty/herbal background.

It left my hair feeling so healthy and shiny, like a dog that eats all the eggs from the chicken coupe (but better smelling) :P

I even followed the suggestion of leaving some conditioner in as a product and my weak hairlings weren't weighed down by it!

Price: 2/5 (rrp $29.99 for 350mL)
Scent: 5/5 (I would eat it if I could, it is that good!)
Effectiveness: 5/5
