To buy one of those gimmicky...

[MaidOfBondStreet]

... items that has actually worked???
I'm talking about those light gadgets that wipes away wrinkles! Has anyone got one??
And, those hot brushes you comb through your hair in the car? Do they work??
Il Makiage Is another..
What else have you bought that actually works!!?

I have the DAFNI silicon straightening brush. Bought 4 years ago , used 3 times a week. Absolutely amazing.
I am super busy and can rough dry my hair and the spend 2 minutes brushing/ styling with dafni and have a sleek styled bob.
lifechaging for someone in a hurry who wants to look groomed.

I started using this about six months ago. I have blonde hair (with a bit of help from regular highlights at the hairdressers, as it's darkened over the years!). Its fine when dry, but oh my days, when it's wet it's like a matted birds nest! I've tried soooo many conditioners over the years, some better than others, but it still takes patience to comb through, even starting gently from the ends. The conditioner from the Cornish Seaweed company is absolutely amazing! My hairdresser noticed the difference with my hair the first time I visited after using the product, and I'm seriously considering taking the conditioner with me on my next visit - it takes him an age to comb through my wet hair, and apart from anything else, it hurts! I absolutely recommend the stuff (I might stop buying the shampoo, though, because buying the two products does work out expensive, and I'm hoping I only need the conditioner!).

I've started using sassy saints (though in hindsight would have made sure I was buying something shipped from the UK as the delivery took AGES). I like it, and my nails are coming out undamaged and are super strong when it's on. But it takes a long time to put on - I've not managed it in less than 1.5h the 3 times I've tried. I've not had any issues with removal - takes 5-10 minutes per hand.

This is a great thread. Has anyone bought any of the jewellery all over SM, apparently can be worn in shower, pool etc and never tarnishes? I like gold jewellery and I’m tempted to buy, but wondered if it looks cheap and nasty or is a funny shade of gold in real life.

Hi again

Would you say it works like you see on TikTok? Does it firm and get rid of small wrinkles?

Just get it professionally lasered for the price you are paying for waxing

Waterproof jewellery? They had some in TK the other week

I use the Il Makiage, without the primer looks terrible with the primer looks fantastic and not caked on and although only mentally in my 30's I'm actually 60

bought ne of these, best toothbrush I have ever had

I bought Snooze Band having seen them advertised on SM. Headphones within a headband / eye mask. that you can wear in bed. Absolutely fantastic. Really comfortable. Use it for sleep relaxation/ meditation tracks. Had previously bought inferior cheapo version from Amazon but no comparison really (really uncomfortable & kept going wrong - I threw them away). Highly recommend the snooze band

Another vote for snooze band. Really helps me get to sleep

it does look flattering in the TikToks I've seen. The fact it's 100% polyester (I think) put me off. But I might have another look.

Which revlon brush are lots of you recommending? I have the Babyliss big hair but it's not really working anymore.

I've got the Revlon style booster which has a slightly smaller brush size than the original One Step. The one I have is more suited to mid length or shorter hair.

The original one has a pretty massive brush so I guess it depends on hair length.

One for the curly people: I was lured into ordering a Bouncecurl styling brush after a million reels of stunned influencers and can confirm that it's... amazing.

Dupes are starting to appear on Amazon but I splashed out on the original and I have to say, it's made brush styling so much quicker and easier than faffing about with a Denman brush.

Just had a look at the Il makiage website. If some of those pics of the lip looks are anything to go by, I wouldn't waste my money. Gormless springs to mind tbh.

I'm 55 and got a tiny bit started at the outer edge of the shadow area under the eye I sleep on. Can you use it there?

I can't find it at the same price but there are similar at half the price and double the price It did come all the way from China and the lead is quite short but so far it's been good. Although I do mostly only use the AirWrap and hair dryer attachments.

It was called something like 5 in 1 hot air styler.

@LittleSF I have the wee Tymo brush too. I do like it.

I have the GHD hot brush and it's good.

@Thisismynewname23 At the moment i am using the origins Ginzing tinted moisteriser with SPF 40, It comes out white/grey and then matches your skintone. works perfect for me. Before i put that on i use Jojoba oil ( a very little bit to give me a dewy complexion) then i use the Better than sex brown mascara and then i go crazy with a liquid blush ( i put it on my cheeks, eyelids, lips and tip of my nose. People are always shocked when i say im 31 as they thought i was a young mum but its just the makeup 😂

Thank you so much! I love trying new tinted moisturisers especially if they have spf, I just got the oskia but it’s a bit dark for me… the rosalique I find changes but stays a bit grey tinged so I’ll try this one! X

@DirtyDensDog

Do the Revlon stylers rotate like the Babilys big hair one

No, which I prefer. The Big Hair tangled my hair with the rotation.

I have a Dyson hairdryer, huge price tag and so, so worth it! Dries in easily half the time of any other dryer, including the expensive ones in the salon, hair dries straighter and shinier too. I don’t know how it works but it most assuredly does.
