I love a good hand cream, so when I came across this Odylique Lemon Butter Hand Smoothie from LoveLula I thought I'd give it a go due to its name sounding amazing. Firstly, it smells lovely, very fresh and fruity which I love. The hand cream itself rubs in nicely and doesn't leave my hands feeling greasy afterwards which I really dislike with hand creams. All in all, my hands are left feeling very soft and all dry areas are fully moisturised after use.

BeBarefaced Anti Wrinkle Moisturiser - Review*

At BeBarefaced we’re committed to helping achieve barefaced confidence through the power of natural ingredients. While we may appear playful, we take our formulations very seriously. If we don't think it’s natural and doing some good then we don't add it in! All our products are made with precision and care to deliver a category-leading performance worthy of your trust. Our high performing formulas focus on carefully selected natural ingredients combined with antioxidants and essential oils, ensuring that our products are honest, natural and effective.

Our Anti-Wrinkle Moisturiser harnesses the power of vitamin A. Boasting many anti ageing benefits, it's a must for your skincare regime if anti ageing is on your priority list. This Moisturiser is a powerful anti ageing tool, effectively targeting the trickiest skin concerns; wrinkles, loss of volume, uneven skin tone and sun damaged skin. 1% Vitamin A complex fights free radical damage that causes ageing. Cells are turned over faster targeting not only wrinkles and fine lines but also spot prone skin. Skin plumping Hyaluronic Acid locks in water content giving skin a volume boost while reducing wrinkles. Collagen reduces the appearance of deep wrinkles and fine lines. And Antioxidants Vitamin C and E repairs sun damaged skin and protects against photo-ageing.

I've always steered clear of anti-aging creams, as the ones I've tried so far have been too thick for my oily based skin. I came across the BeBarefaced Anti Wrinkle Moisturiser on LoveLula and decided to give it a go as the description of it sounded great. The moisturiser rubs in really well and doesn't need much rubbing in at all. It does tend to leave my skin a little oily at the end of the day though. So because of this, I've only been using the cream in the evening before I go to sleep, which has helped. My skin is left feeling soft after use and I've noticed that the lines on my forehead have reduced slightly.

BeBarefaced 3 in 1 Eye Gel - Review*

At BeBarefaced we’re committed to helping achieve barefaced confidence through the power of natural ingredients. While we may appear playful, we take our formulations very seriously. If we don't think it’s natural and doing some good then we don't add it in! All our products are made with precision and care to deliver a category-leading performance worthy of your trust. Our high performing formulas focus on carefully selected natural ingredients combined with antioxidants and essential oils, ensuring that our products are honest, natural and effective.

BeBarefaced 3 in 1 Eye Gel combines three powerful ingredients Marine Collagen, Vitamin E and Argan Oil, to rehydrate and revitalise the eye area. Marine collagen reduces fine lines and restores volume lost from premature ageing. The delicate eye area is susceptible to sun damage and over time this starts to develop wrinkles and affect skin laxity. Antioxidants Vitamin E and Green Tea work to repair these effects of photoaged eyes, visibly lifting and brightening the eye contour, reducing dark circles and discolouration. Aloe vera hydrates, cools and minimises puffiness waking up tired eyes. And Argan oil locks in moisture targeting the ageing effects of dehydration.

I hadn't been getting on with my previous eye cream, so when I came across BeBarefaced's 3 in 1 Eye Gel on LoveLula I decided that is was time to try out a new one. I've had trouble with eye gels in the past where they've left my skin feeling very sticky, but this gel soaks into my skin really well which is great. The skin around my eyes is left feeling softer after use and I can see visible differences in the smoothness of my skin and the fine lines.

Firstly, the cream-based lotion smells lovely and I can't stop smelling it every time I use it. It removes my mascara very well and doesn't sting my eyes at all, which is great for my sensitive eyes. The bottle is also really easy to use when it comes to squeezing the product out.

Inspired by Australia’s most well-known beach, and a desire to make the ultimate tan accessible to everyone, our salon quality formulas work to give you an even, naturally golden tan that hydrates and nourishes .your skin meaning you stay bronzed for longer. Owned and made in Australia.

Look like you’ve spent the day at the beach, all year round. A lotion that dries in seconds to reveal a rich, natural looking tan. Infused with Aloe Vera and Coconut, to ensure your tan lasts longer, Bondi Sands’ lightweight, Self-Tanning Lotion will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.

The Bondi Sands Self Tanning Mitt enables you to apply an even streak-free, flawless tan every time. And what’s better is that you’ll never have stained hands again. Washable and reusable, perfect for Bondi Sands, Mists, Foams and Lotions.

I was kindly sent these two personally selected products from Annalisa to review for Bondi Sands. Firstly, I absolutely love the coconut infused scent of the Self Tanning Lotion in Light / Medium, it smells divine. So after prepping my skin and applying the fake tan with the very soft Application Mit, I immediately saw amazing results (as shown in the above photo). With the Application Mit being as soft as it is, this helps to apply the product evenly all over the body. The tan washes off very easily, meaning you're not left with any unwanted marks when you've finished applying. I'm super looking forward to using this product in the Summertime, especially because of its coconut scent!
