  1. a good fake tan? Normally use Dove glow but keen to upgrade
  2. a really good hair treatment for dry, frazzled, dyed hair. Elasticiser was ok for me but not wow
  3. a lash serum that works? Am distracted by adverts for them that maybe aren’t genuine reviews
  4. suggestions for hair colour for 60% white grey, 40% brown. Have highlights at the moment after hairdresser said blend roots better than balayage. Not ready to go full grey yet
  5. nice shoes for size 9 that aren’t clumpy or black ballet pumps.

thought would have an early braindump, any answers much appreciated!

The only one I can answer is

  1. Garnier Summer Body. Not an upgrade exactly but it is very good.

I’ll answer number 2. Elasticiser did nothing for my hair either. I use Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Leave In Treatment. Leaves my hair really soft and shiny.

Thanks both!

I use Skinny Tan and get in well with it. I also use Garnier hair food I think it’s called.

  1. Plantur39 Brown. I have recently started using this and it has turned my brown/slate dark bits brown and my light grey/silver streaks a dark blonde. I'll try to attach a photo

  2. cut out all silicones. Plantur39 Brown doesn't have any, and choose a conditioner that doesn't have any either. Works wonders on dry frazzled hair by actually allowing the hair to absorb moisture, whereas silicones coat it and make it smooth for a bit, but just dry it out more in the long term.

Good fake tan - bondi sands daily moisturiser! Buildable and I'm so pale one layer works for a week. Doesn't smear or go patchy either!

Eyelash serum - I've had fab results with revitilash. Wildly expensive but after 6 ish weeks I noticed a massive difference. Much longer and fuller looking.

Skinny Tan is great and cruelty free
