Alviana - Naturkosmetik (Natural Cosmetics) - Classic Feuchtigkeitspflege (Moisturiser)
This is a lip balm with organic jojoba oil, shea butter, beeswax, and olive oil.
It doesn't contain any synthetic fragrances, dyes, preservatives, silicones, or mineral oil-based ingredients.
The scent is faint and a mix of beeswax and shea butter.
It goes on smoothly, the product itself not too hard or too soft.
It isn't too sticky, my hair didn't get stuck in it.
After just one night of use, my lips are a lot less dry. I like it.
Price: ($2.35 for 4.5g)
Scent: 2.5/5 (faint shea butter and beeswax)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Shiseido - IBUKI - Protective Moisturizer - SPF 15
This is a daytime moisturiser with SPF (always good).
It is really thin and lightweight.
The scent is a faint mix of floral and sunscreen.
After using it for a week and a half, I have to say, I LOVE IT!
My skin loves it, my skin looks so bright, and I am seriously considering repurchasing it!
Price: 2/5 (~$57 for 75mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

The Body Shop - Vitamin C - Glow Boosting Moisturiser
This is an orange gel, with a orange scent.
Initially I was worried it was like those awful 'body sorbets', but this doesn't pill (thankfully).
It is a very hydrating gel and is light enough to wear on a hot summer's night.
This is a really nice, light moisturiser.
And I love the packaging! It's so clean! <3
I don't know if I would buy it again (my skin needs more oil), but it was nice.
Price: 2/5 ($34.95 for 49g)

Nivea - In-Shower Smooth Lotion - Dry Skin
This is a good idea in theory... in practice it leaves a bit to be desired.
First and foremost, I HATE THE BOTTLE!
It is so stiff!
Even if I wasn't already soaked from the shower, I still can't squeeze this bottle!
If you drop any, it makes the shower floor VERY slippery!
While it is moisturising, I don't feel it does enough that I wont still put moisturiser on after my shower.
So this product is a complete miss in my mind.
Price: 3/5 ($7.99 for 400mL)
Scent: 2/5 (basic shea scent)
Effectiveness: 0/5

Brazilian Butterfly - Gorgeous Goji Berry - Body Lotion
This is nice and thick. It absorbs well and is quite moisturising.
It unfortunately smells like flour and cranberries, which is awful!
Every time I caught a whiff of it, it really bugged me.
Perhaps give this one a miss.

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.

L'Oreal Paris - Revitalift - Day Cream
Apparently anti-wrinkle and extra firming, my face didn't change much with regular use (but I didn't expect it to either).
Let's go from the outside in.
Solid glass container with some serious weight to it... you could bludgeon someone with it!
The lid is plastic, but a nice metallic red. The printing on both lid and jar is sleek and simple.
The cream is a good thickness for daywear and smells like sunscreen... which makes sense because it has sunscreen in it.
Funnily enough, I can't find an SPF rating. So I'm going to say it is SPF 1 elephant.
It feels moisturising immediately and I quite enjoyed using it.
It contains Pro-Retinol A, vitamin e, and Par-Elastyl (no idea what this last one is).
Price: 2/5 (RRP $32.95 for 50mL)

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.

Zk'in - Certified Organics - Rebalancing Lotion
This lotion is meant to reduce shine on people with oily or combination skin... Unfortunately, it didn't seem to do that for me (but maybe that is just my stubborn skin, playing by its own rules)
It was a moderately think cream, which may be a bit heavy for day wear
In terms of scent, it kind of smells like a margarita (perhaps one someone had trouble keeping down)... not the nicest scent, but not the worst (see the Zk'in line reducing serum)
Price: 2/5 (rrp $44.95 for 50mL)

Avon Solutions Ageless Accolade Re-contouring night cream
Someone I know is currently selling Avon, so because it was there, I purchased this night cream. It is a pale pink colour in the jar with the slight scent of rosewater. So if you like your face creams unscented, just be aware of that. The cream was thick (good for a night cream) and absorbed pretty well. The 50g jar lasted me (I think) a month and was a reasonable price for the type of product. Unfortunately for you guys, I bought it as part of a set so I can't recall the individual price of each item.
As far as helping with being 'ageless' and 're-contouring', I did not notice such an effect, but without moisturiser (maybe I should change my name to Cassandra? Moisturise me!) I look like poop so it helped on that front.
In conclusion: If you need a night cream and want to help out an Avon selling friend, give it a go!
