    Not heard of this brand but will be buying it tomorrow as I have just read the reviews online. I also checked the prices. The lip balm in the freebie is 5mls and a tube double that size costs £10.

    The cleanser description seemed like a worthwhile try even though it is only a 10ml tube, as it said there was no need for toner if you use this.

    After using these products for a few days I am quite pleased with them.

    The lip moisturizer does what it says, keeps lips hydrated for hours.Although a little sticky for my preference and a bit like liquid Vaseline. But as I do not have dry lips at present I will put it away until winter months as the tube says it is a daily protection and soothing treatment.

    The face moisturizer is a really light cream, ideal for summer months and sinks in instantly without any heavyness or greasyness. I even used it around eye area too. I was able to apply make up and did not result in the little balls that you can sometimes get with face creams. Very pleased with this product and I have sensitive skin but had no reaction to this. The tube says it is for all skin types so guess it is a good purchase for those with combination skin. Do not know if it is any good for lines and wrinkles though. For those people who like to compare creams, I find elemis marine cream rather greasy and more like a night cream where as the malin goetz was wonderful and light.


    The face cleanser was lovely, left skin squeaky clean and refreshed without leaving the skin stripped and tight.

    Would I buy again? Yes I would more than likely purchase all 3 of the products mentioned above.
