[happilybemused]

Best

Gel polish (shellac)
Mylee LED gel nail curer
Josh Wood blending brush
Eylure lash and brow tint

Worst

Diablo lash lift kit

Does Eylure make a significant difference to your lashes? If so, how long does it last for? Thx

Worst - boar hair brush, it doesn't even tickle the surface although H likes it for his beard

Best - I haven't got any new favourites, substitutions have been less favourable than my usual brands

Best:
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish
LE Superskin Moisturiser with neroli
Essie Madison Ave-hue nail polish (long-lasting & doesn’t chip)
Rimmel Nail Nurse
Herbivore Coco Rose Body Polish
This Works Skin Deep Dry Leg Oil

Worst:
Neals Yard Frankincense Body Scrub

Best
Clinique 7 Day fresh pressed vitamin C - 2 days in and skin looks great
Foreo toothbrush - had dithered for a year and so glad I went for it.
Foreo knockoff silicone cleansing gadget from Amazon - my skin feels so much smoother for using it.

Worst buy
The Ordinary Caffiene eye stuff - utter rubbish and so drying

I've tinted my eyebrows with a home kit (eyelure)and it's made such a difference to my face. I'm late 40s and thought i had no eyebrows but actually I do, they were just so pale they were invisible. They look much better than when I try to pencil them.

@happilybemused oh no I've just bought the Diablo lash lift kit haven't tried it yet, did it not work?

My worst
Gel polishes from amazon, bought all the files and lamp etc and still turned out crap and now I have bare nails.
Hightlighing kit from tesco = orange hair

Best
I splurged on Armani and Charlotte Tilbury make up, to wear and stay at home in haha a bit sad really but post break up I needed a treat.

Eyelure brow tint
Hot waxing kit for diy Hollywood 🌝
Leg waxing roller thing
Shellac nail varnish and led
Hair colour for balayage roots

Have saved a fortune already

Best : Bo Oil. Use it as a night moisturizer for face.
Also new blush in orange. If I apply it lightly it looks very natural and makes my face look younger.

Worst : purple shiny eyeshadow. Does nothing for my face except highlighting my eye bags

Best:
Liquid Blusher and Vit c spritz by a nordic company "Lumene"?
The ordinary foundation, the one with shimmering stuff in it.
Blond eyebrow pencil - my eyebrows are nearly black but dark eye brow products are too heavy.
The cheap Amazon pedicure kit thing with various buffers and scrubers - my feet feel amazing.

Worst:
An overnight hair cream mask that's apparently a cult product in India - smells great but did nothing
Footner - it took a full two and a half weeks for my feel to complete the peel and then my feet weren't amazing afterwards - i expect no less for a wait like that.
