Things we want reviewing before we buy!

[CalamityClam]

I’ve got a couple of Trinny’s cream eyeshadow pots which I love, but at £18 each I’m not getting any more! I’ve seen that Maybelline do a range for about £6. Has anyone tried them?

Also - Wower boxer shorts for women. Expensive! Are they worth it?

Ooh! Nearly forgot. What’s the sizing like at ME+EM?

Oh good thread!

Sorry can’t help you on your quests, but I can tell you that No17 concealer that retails for less than £5, is amazing and comparable to the Nars one.
Also can confirm that the Sol De Janeiro bum bum cream is worth the money and I love it. Same for Olaplaex No3, Bondi boost heat protectant and Colour Wow Dreamcoat is the TITS

I hate the bum bum cream - it smells far too strong. Can smell it on people in the office.

If it's the maybelline tattoo shadow, I like them
On and on bronze is my fave

I bought two dresses from ME+EM and they fit perfectly, true to size.
I think there should be a measuring guide on their website.

That’s the one! Thank you. Do you have any of the metallic ones?

I don't, I hadn't seen them! The bronze is like a shimmer and it's so easy to shove on your lid or run a bit along the lower lash line
The matte ones are good primers too

I bought a shirt from M+Em and found it generously sized.

I find Me&Em on the slightly generous size. I’m one of those people who has to try on two sizes regularly (sometimes I’m 12, sometimes 14) and Me&Em’s 12 is perfect for me.

@Bunce1 My Nars concealer is about to run out, so will try the Boots one!

@CalamityClam my experience of ME+EM is that they are an excellent fit and they give a guide for most things underneath the product details 'this is relaxed fit so if you're between sizes go down a size' etc

I wear a 12 and have found them spot on in anything I've ordered. On the advice I read I ordered 1 top in a 10 and it's also prefect for me

Do you mean Woxer OP?

If do I have them. I have four pairs. One developed holes and they reimbursed me immediately.

I have the 3" I seam. Incredible comfortable and good quality.

Disagree with Colour WOW it destroyed my hair.

Toast linen garment dye trousers.
They're £££ but I love the shape.

Do they bag at the knees quickly?
Do I need to size up or down?

I'm trying to go beyond reviews and not buy things unless I've tried them myself. And I've told myself that I'm certainly no longer allowed blind buy perfumes. I mean it's such a stupid thing to do, but I did it anyway more times than was sensible. I'm too easily seduced my an alluring description of a fragrance. Admittedly I was never silly enough to do it with a £££ Frederic Malle scent (which I was sure I'd adore) instead I bought their samples set for £20 (great value!) and decided I didn't like any of them. So my lesson was learnt.

Those Maybelline eyeshadows are good though imo!
