I want to start by saying that the packaging is super pretty. Feels very luxurious.
I think the mascara is good but not fantastic. My lashes get a bit longer but nothing miraculous. The volume it gives, however, does not impress. It does lift the lashes a bit, but it doesn't hold very long on me. It flakes minimally, which I find fully acceptable.
The brush is very interesting. I was a bit skeptical about it, but once I got the technique down, I started to like it. However, it doesn't achieve anything fantastic either, so I'm not really sure what the point is.
It's a good everyday mascara that I can absolutely recommend. But if you're expecting something super special, this is not the right mascara.

Biotherm Aquasource Hydra Barrier Cream is a gel-like cream that promises to provide moisture in abundance and to keep moisture in the skin longer.
It is easy to massage into the skin, and even though it feels thick at first, it feels very light on the face, and it works well under makeup.
I absolutely think it keeps my skin hydrated longer than the creams I have used before, including heavy night creams. I easily become dry if I skip moisturizing my face for even just one day, but with this, that doesn't happen, which is super great.
However, I do think the fragrance, which is quite nice and not too strong, could have been omitted. It is on the stronger side, so if you are sensitive to scents, you should not use this. This brings the rating down a bit. Also, the price is way too high for me to buy it again unfortunately. The cream is good, but not so much that I want to spend about 600.- on it.
The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson - the test pilot received the product for free.
