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

Same Produst, Different Scent - Dusch Das - Prickelnd Frisch - Body Wash

This smells so lovely! It's like a mojito!

Lime and mint are such a nice combo!
It doesn't take much to clean you and cleans well (only one pass).
It is non-irritating to my skin, which is also ideal.


Price: 5/5 ($1.86 for 250mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Rausch - Hair Spray - Strong

This is a sample from Glossybox (thanks Miss Buttons and PB)!

When I got this I wasn't that happy about it because I really don't do my hair.
But I'll do my best to review it.

It apparently has sea buckthorn, which appeals to me as a lover of all things ocean.
It also has no silicon, if that is important to you.

The scent is you classic hairspray scent (try not to inhale it).

I put some on my hair for work to see if it could keep hair out of my face.

Before: 

With hair everywhere already, but held in place by hairspray!

After a few hours of work: 

All held in place!

Overall, it appears to work quite well!

Price: 3/5 ($13.45 for 250mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (hairspray smell, don't sniff)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Lacura - Pedi Spa - Chiropody Pliers

Aldi!

I wanted a pair of clippers for removing hard skin that appears on the top of my fingertips near the sides of my nails. No, hand creams alone don't always help with this.

These clippers work perfectly. They are easy to position, the 'spring' can be adjusted so the clippers are open or closed (for storage), and they are sharp enough to cut.

Price: 3/5 (Can't recall, like $5?)
Effectiveness: 5/5

The Body Shop - Oils of Life

I picked this up as soon as I heard about it... I am all about oils!

It contains black cumin seed oil, camellia seed oil and rosehip seed oil and absorbs into the skin SO FAST!

I can see a visual improvement in my skin the morning after using it.

It also smells really nice and the dropper bottle makes application really easy.

Price: 1.5/5 ($54.95 for 30mL)
Scent: 4.5/5
Efficiency: 5/5

Schwarzkopf - Nordic Blonde, L1++ Ultimate Lightener

I used this to bleach my hair when transitioning from dark to hot pink.
I would have taken photos, but because the amount of red in my hair it came out orange.
Here is a close approximation to how it looked:

Not the bombshell blonde I imagined, but it was my own fault.

This product was easy to use, smelt terrible (like a bleach will), and didn't damage my hair.

And it let me achieve this:
