I was one of the bloggers to be sent the Mypure products for review, however upon opening the box at my mum's house (post office central) she pointed out the fact that at 25 it was a bit pointless me reviewing a potent anti ageing serum, so put herself up for the job! At 58 she is more in need of an anti ageing serum than me, and with dry and sensitive skin was looking for something to make her look 21 (or maybe 51).
This product is new to the UK and debuted at mypure only this month, it's made by an Australian company called Kosmea. Established in 1993, Kosmea took Australia by storm with the first commercially available certified organic rosehip oil. Since then Kosmea have gone from strength to strength with a complete range of skin care based around organic rosehip oil.
The Eighth Natural Wonder Revitalising Facial Serum is apparently one of the first natural skin care products to use patented anti-ageing ingredients. Mypure only sell products which are paraben and sulphate free.

My mum used this morning and night (and then just at night after the foundation problem) for 10 days and these are her findings.
Packaging
The packaging was ok, it was nothing special but the pump action made it easy to get out the product. There were no instructions of how much product to use, so I just used two pumps but it would have been nice to know how much I was expected to put on.
Scent
This was obviously a rose scent, which I love as I love flowers. Sadly it was so strong that if I applied this anywhere near my eyes they started to stream as if I was crying and I had to wash it off, also I had to make sure to wash my hands very thoroughly after use as the smell stays on your hands.
The texture of this serum is like most other facial serums I have used by other brands, it's pretty liquidy and slippy. I wasn't sure whether I was suppose to massage this in or leave a layer on so I massaged it in. Be careful if you apply too much and then try to apply makeup it will just ball up and flake off (Sarah asks - "what like actually flaking off like dandruff?") not really your foundation sticks to the serum and just rubs it off of your face. I took to using this at night as it was too complicated in the morning. If you use mineral foundation it would be better (i.e. a powder rather than a liquid).
Overall
My mum's view of this product was that it was average, it made her skin much more moist but as we only had a short time to review after 10 days there were no anti ageing effects, she is going to stick with it and use it up just in case! She liked the packaging but said it was nothing exciting and she probably would have walked past it if she saw it in a shop. She also said that it would benefit from not having such a strong scent as most people need an anti ageing product that isn't too strong to be used around the eyes, as most people have the majority of lines around their eyes and crows feet.
She said out of 10 she would give it a 6.5
