Reporting back, tried it and no ill effects but not sure why I would incorporate this into my routine so not a repurchase.

Also, tried the eyeliner and it will need more work, usually use a pencil so this is a new thing!

Never heard of scalp detoxing. I have a very bad scalp and have to use T-Gel shampoo religiously or it gets very painful. Interested to see if this helps or hinders.

Off to the Christmas markets today wearing my lovely new lippy Xmas Wink

BringMeTea · 03/12/2017 12:55

Have detoxed my scalp, now just for the rest of me... It’s a frippery but will see if it transforms my follicles.

missfliss · 03/12/2017 16:45

Scalp detox = meh

Just made my hair gritty and my scalp cold!

Still roll on day 4 ...

And you look lovely wildimaginings

Thank you missfliss, your lovely selfies inspired me to try the lippie and post a picture!

Hmm, will give the scalp detox a try this week but if it's meh then oh well.

Paperdove87 · 03/12/2017 17:30

I have never heard of a scalp detox! (Part of me is wondering if this is a thing invented to make money which does nothing particularly useful....) but I will give it a go! Might be pleasantly surprised...

@WildImaginings the lippie really suits you. Looks a lot more pink on you than it does on me. I'm not brave enough to post a pic!

BubbaLips · 03/12/2017 17:31

i treated myself to it... so far so good....

WildImaginings · 03/12/2017 17:45

Paperdove87 thank you, I was a bit dubious when I first opened it as it seemed quite red at the top and I usually stick to more nude shades.
I thought it might be a bit too bold, but I was quite surprised by how much I liked it when it was on.

I'm sure it looks lovely on you!

InfiniteSheldon · 03/12/2017 18:09

I liked the scalp detox made my head nicely tingly and hair really shiny had loads of compliments today it's a winner with ne

Zippea · 03/12/2017 18:25

I wasn’t sure but I’ve detoxed my scalp and my hair is lovely. I’m not sure I would buy something like this as found the scrubby bits weird

snowflakestar · 03/12/2017 20:23

I'm glad I tried the scalp detox as my head has felt itchy and in need of exfoliating since discovering it exists this morning! However I won't be repeating the experience. I have very thick, very long hair and I found it very difficult to get it on my scalp. I used loads! It made my hair feel weird and then it took what seemed like forever to get it out. My hair felt very gritty. In fact I'm not convinced it's all out yet, but I had the longest shower I've ever had and had to give up in the end. I shall see what my hair looks like tomorrow, but it will have to be amazing for me to exfoliate my scalp again!

BluebellGal · 03/12/2017 21:30

Yes I found the scalp detox a pita to use too! I’ve pretty much given up on it. The T gel treatment stuff works well if you have a problem scalp

snowplop · 03/12/2017 22:01

I found the scalp stuff a bit meh tbh. Took just a bit too much time and effort to apply and rinse off for rather unnoticeable results. The lipstick is the best thing so far, I think.

problembottom · 03/12/2017 22:04

I have long hair, slapped loads on and my head didn’t tingle at all disappointingly. Grin And yes the grit was a problem and I ended up spending ages in the shower. Not for me.

RJnomore1 · 04/12/2017 08:20

Not overly excited by today's but I'll give be it a try, might be good for the winter. Calculated it as approximately £8 so that's £50 value so far.

RJnomore1 · 04/12/2017 08:23

Mmm in fact feeluniwue are selling that exact size of it for £10.

£52 then.

caggie09 · 04/12/2017 08:31

Im not that excited by this either. I get really bad eczema so have been using the same body cream for years, dont tend to switch it up incase i flare it up. Ill patch test first and if no good ill give it to someone else!

Paperdove87 · 04/12/2017 08:41

I tried today's and I like it. My skin feels nice. It has amazing reviews on feel unique.

snowflakestar · 04/12/2017 08:50

I'm happy with a moisturiser and the reviews of this sound good. Are people going to use it on face or body? I might try it on my face tonight (as I have tried the M&S offering this morning).

missfliss · 04/12/2017 09:14

M pleased with today's - it's always good to have an intensive hydrator in winter, and this one is perfume free and high in shea butter and colloidal oatmeal ( great for irritated skin).

It's not exciting but it is genuinely useful and high quality.

So a thumbs up from me.

problembottom · 04/12/2017 09:40

I'm pleased with this too, looking forward to trying it. It will have to be good to beat my usual La Roche Posay.

lborgia · 04/12/2017 11:23

Hello, another one in Oz! I had it sent by LF, and it was in fact free shipping. I love the lipstick., but it’s quite bright, so not using it much yet, the eyeliner is fantastic (I use this kind of thing a lot), ‘scalp detox, felt great afterwards, but hated trying to rinse out the grit, waste of time and water...

the moisturiser is incredible. Gave it hte ultimate test, tried rubbing it into my lizard shins... 12 hours later, still soft and moisturised. I love FAB acid pads//wipes, so was interested in trying something else of theirs.

this AC is a present from my children. Every morning they come rushing in wiht their ACs and make me open mine! I love the ritual, very sweet.

DuncanDonut · 04/12/2017 11:24

I didn't read it properly and so thought it was a facial moisturiser - I've slathered it all over my face, over Hyaluronic serum, and it feels lovely. My skin feels gorgeously supple and not at all greasy (though to be fair a lot of that will be from the serum).

I tried the scalp stuff as well, and won't be rushing out to buy it. I bet it's nice on a bald head though...

lborgia · 04/12/2017 11:24

Sorry, am almost asleep, and nails too long, so typing is rubbish. Hmm

InfiniteSheldon · 04/12/2017 11:26

Glad I read this thread is assumed it was a face moisturizer
