The packaging of the product is quite nice, it has all the relevant information needed about the product on it, the actual product does not, so don't throw away the box. The fragrance of the product is nice, and not overpowering. The directions say to use 3-4 drops in the morning, however I used 1-2 more as I also wanted to use it along my neckline. I am unsure of the effectiveness of brighter skin - it's winter so I'm just pale.

The scent of the product is nice, and not overpowering. The directions say to use 3-4 drops a night, however I used 1-2 more as I also wanted to use it along my neckline. I did see results of darker lines becoming finer again.
After using this toothpaste for a couple of weeks I can't say I've seen much difference to the whitening of my teeth (pretty white already), but they do look a bit more polished than usual. Would likely purchase in future if price point is good value.
The first thing that caught my eye was the design of the Mecca label - looks dull and boring in comparison to their other products.
I liked that you didn't need to use much for each application, and it did leave the skin looking nice, it had a matte appearance and there was no shine.
I have not seen the benefit of the serum in my skin, and not actually sure of its benefits.
I was not expecting this in wash booster to be in small scented balls, I was thought it would be liquid. They did dissolve well and definitely boosted the scent of washing more than its fabric softener scent. I am happy with the results, as after drying the clothes and other washing still have this scent. The recommended dosage to add to your washing is half a cap to 1 capful. I used about a third of a cap in my 6.5Kg machine, and have not needed to use as much as the recommended amount to get results. If you have a smaller washing machine you may not even need as much as I used.
I used one in the kitchen and one for the bathroom.
I didn't notice any odour from the sponge.
It helped with grease and grime in combination to cleaning products.
It did not scratch my non stick cookware.
I also found it to be effective for cleaning the bathroom.
I like the design of this kettle. It has a clear design so you can see the water level, and a stainless steel base finish.
This would be ideal for regular tea drinkers that like to brew their own.
I think if you were to brew tea in the kettle, it would stain and not be practical for using for other beverages.
I like that you can heat the kettle to different temperatures, and has a keep warm function.
There is a little tune that plays once the kettle is ready - but it's not very loud so you may not hear it from a different room.
I found this toaster to look nice, I like the design and stainless steel appearance. It has a touch pad for the on/off and heat settings, and has a lever to lower the toast to cook.
I used both fresh and frozen bread to test out this toaster, and I also used grain bread, white and wholemeal. All bread toasted more on the outside leaving some burnt sections. I mostly used level 2 and 3.
I used the defrost option for the frozen bread and put on level 4.
Overall I would not purchase this toaster as it was too inconsistent for me.
This ice-cream was once an indulgent ice-cream, however it is now a low budget type option. It is creamy and has some chunks of cookie - but mostly just crushed biscuit throughout. Good if you are price conscious, however I have found the store brands are cheaper or same price these days, and can be nicer. I recommend spending an extra 1-2 dollars and get yourself something tastier.
Cadbury dairy milk chocolate is one of my favourite chocolates. It's always exciting to get them at easter time as individually wrapped pieces. The chocolate is nice and creamy and melts in your mouth. I am glad to see the word Easter back on the packet - even if it is in small writing.
First time trying this product. It comes in quite a large container, but only a small tube inside. The toothpaste is thick and gritty - not something I've seen before aside from at the dentist. The toothpaste has a nice flavour, and my teeth do look nice and shiny. Not sure about the claim of removing 15 years of stains, but I'd be happy to purchase and use this in the future.
This serum is easy to apply, and absorbs quickly into my skin. It has left my face feeling nice and smooth after applying, and my skin feels and looks nicer. I used this product twice a day for 4 weeks, and the bottle is almost empty - so you are probably looking at about 4-6 weeks use from a bottle.
I disliked the overwhelming strength of this toothpaste, but I persisted twice a day for a week for this review. I have not noticed a difference for teeth whitening purposes. I took a before and after, teeth look shiny before and after.
These are a product that I purchase regularly and suit my needs better than others. They stay in place and allow you to be more active. They also stay in place overnight which is something many brands don't meet - hence why they made huge overnight ones that are just gross and uncomfortable.
