Four Points Activ Body Care Body Lotion

This is a hotel body lotion (Four Points by Sheraton).

It is a thin lotion with a shower fresh smell.

It absorbs quickly, is non-irritating,  and leaves skin hydrated.

Price: 5/5 ($0.27 for 28mL)
Scent: 3/5
Effectiveness: 3/5

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

Eau Thermale Avène - Soothing Moisture Mask

You put this mask on as a thick layer, wait 10-15 minutes, then dab off the excess with a cotton pad.

I, however, washed it off. 
It smells like mouldy oats and I don't need that smell staying on my face.

I did try dabbing it off and seeing how my skin felt... you can't just dab this! It leaves a weird residue on your face.

My skin felt a little better after I washed it off, both nothing great.

Price: 4/5 ($37.99 for 50mL, about 10 masks)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 1/5

The Body Shop - Drops of Light - Pure Healthy Brightening Serum

This is like water! 
It isn't sticky or viscous.
It absorbs so quickly and has a soft, subtle green scent.

Because it is so subtle, you almost think it may just be water.
But my skin is brighter and more evenly toned.

The packaging is really nice.
The glass bottle gives it a good weight, the glass dropper is great and the all white packaging is a nice presentation.

Price: 2/5 ($49.95 for 30mL)
Scent: 4.5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Lacura Essentials - Detox Me - Firming Body Lotion

This claims to help firm, tighten and tone using a 'silhouette-refining complex' (that is some next level bullsh!ting). 
I didn't feel it did these things, but it was still nice.

It also contains goji berry, acai berry, blueberry and coffee. 
It smells like macadamia and coconut.

It is thin (like a lotion should be) but doesn't absorb as well as I would like.

Price: 4/5 (~$7 for 200mL, I really should record the price)
Scent: 2/5
Effectiveness: 2/5 

Same Product, Different Scent: The Body Shop - Satsuma Body Butter

This scent of body butter was a bit thinner than others I have used, which is disappointing. I love the thickness of Body Shop body butters, and this felt like more of a lotion (such was the viscosity).

The scent is great though: orange, peel, zesty... great for summer!

Elizabeth Mott - It's So Big - Volumizing Mascara

The brush is the first thing I want to talk about with this. I get what they were going for, eye is convex = brush is convex. And that may even work, but my eyes are bigger than the brush, meaning it comes in at weird angles.

I don't need weird angles near my eyes... ever!

The formula is a bit too slow to dry and is quite messy, I don't love it.

The solution:

You knew that was coming :P

Price: 3/5 (rrp $19.99)

Scent: 1/5 (mmm, plastics)

Effectiveness: 3/5
