SK-II Facial Treatment Cleansing Gel ▍Rating: ★★★★★

SKII is one of the few products I have found that suits my skin.  I have very sensitive, combination (oily but sometimes dry) skin.  Any product I use to address the oilyness tends to dry my skin right out to the point where I am peeling across the nose area.  Anything that addresses the dryness leaves my skin feeling like I have just walked out of a fish and chip shop!

I have found SKII is gentle enough to clean my skin and leave it feeling fresh, without drying it out completely or leaving an oily, non-clean feeling.

The downside?  It's ridiculously expensive.  Very hard to be loyal to a product that is so overpriced.

SlimRight Weight Loss Accelerator ▍Rating: ★

Have you ever bought this product? The container is huge! BUT ... when you open it, the contents only make up 2/3 of the package. It's incredibly deceptive and I really don't understand why companies are allowed to sell products in that fashion.

Look at this comparison:

SlimRight:
Dimensions: 15cm H x 10.2cm W
Weight: only 375g

UltraSlim:
Dimensions: 12cmH x 10.2cm W
Weight: 425g

Slimright has some 30g more in a package that is more suited to the contents that fill it. Whilst I don't have the costs of those two drinks, more packaging generally means a higher cost and does nothing for the environment but create more waste.
