I've been really impressed with a few things I've bought lately, so thought I'd share them here: - Max Factor False Lash Effect mascara - my sceptical 70 yr old DF actually asked me whether I was wearing false eyelashes! He was [shock] <<< like this when I told him. - GHD ceramic vented radial brush - makes your hair incredibly smooth and dries it really fast - didn't think a hairbrush could make so much difference. - Body Shop Aloe Vera night cream - a few dabs on my flaky patches at night mean I don't get flaky winter face any more. - Essie Ballet Slippers nail polish - gorgeous neutral palest pink, makes your nails look really clean, natural and groomed. I put off buying this for years as reviews say its really streaky - but it's actually not at all on me and gives really good coverage for a pale pink - opaque in two coats. Much better than Chanel Ballerina, which is a blobby, streaky mess.
