Fresh

I had obtained some sample packets/satchels from Sephora to try out the product. I really liked the sample trial - the fresh soy/cucumber scent and light, airy, texture was very appealing. It also cleansed my skin without drying it out, or irritating it. Perfect for the cooler/colder months. So, naturally, i bought a full size bottle/tube as my fall/winter cleanser. However, my experience with the full-sized product provided diminishing returns. Maybe it was because i kept it in my shower as my (during my shower cleansing), instead of at the sink. I found that the product was too light and slippery, almost watery (though another reviewer said this cleanser is oil based).I found it was hard to massage onto my face and work around my eyes (yup, safe for eye area, at least for my eyes, even with contact lenses). Though, ti did seem to still clean my face well enough, without irritating it. I should also add that i would use a separate make-up remover first and then follow-up with this cleanser. However, I just didn't like feel of it while cleansing my skin; it felt suffocating. Suffice to say, I won't be buying this product again.

First if you have an aversion to chunky particles in a mask this is not for you. I found the large lotus seeds to be a mess cleaning up in my sink afterwards. I like the quick time of 5 minutes. This mask does require to wet and gently emulsify in order to wash off. Left skin well moisturized and smooth. Not abrasive at all. Didn't aggravate my acne prone skin. No burn or tingle with application, so I'd say ok for sensitive skin types. Just too pricey for a moisturizing treatment.

I enjoy this mask right after a shower you apply to your skin when it’s still slightly moist. I find it very soothing , it tones and hydrated and leaves me looking fresh and glowy. I’m very sensitive acne prone and this didn’t irritate me at all. If it wasn’t so expensive I’d use I’d buy it . I got a deluxe sample at Sephora and have used it three times so far.

This lip balm is amazing. Much better than Burt's Bees and all the drugstore lip balms I have tried. Believe me, I have tried them all and it's definitely worth the high price tag. Smells amazing, product absorbs and lips feel moisturised and softer. Up to my third one. Container is sturdy and luxurious.

As much as I like this "toner", I probably won't be repurchasing.
This is a gorgeous product, don't get me wrong, but I feel like it's more of a light essence as opposed to a toner, being that it is more designed to moisturize as opposed to tone the skin.
I do still however use it in place of a toner, as my pores are not large, and it still freshens by face, but doesn't really get rid of residue as well as a real toner would.

Pros:
* gorgeous rose scent (being the fact that this is mostly made of rose extracts and juices/oils)
* aesthetically pleasing - the bottle contains rose petals suspended in the black tea coloured liquid, giving it a vintage vibe
* easy to dispense- almost like an olive oil bottle with a stopper top containing a hole under a screw cap. This makes it easy to not overuse.
* refreshing and lightly hydrating. I use this post cleansing and before moisturising

Cons:
* expensive
* not really a necessity as opposed to an "extra step " luxury item
* not readily available in Australia
* bits of the rose petals seem to be quite dissolved and come out with the formula onto the cotton pad. I don't seem to need to pick them off my skin as they seem to dissolve rather than disintegrate, but it isn't pretty

I have selected no to repurchasing, however my feeling with this may change as winter rolls around and I need more of a hydrating step post cleanse. I'll see how I go when I near the end of the bottle.
