I’ve tried most of the lash serums over the years and have seen a slight improvement with the UK Lash, main things to me is that it doesn’t cause irritation as I’ve had a few that did and I had to bin after a few uses.

Is the Babe one any good? Not heard of it.

UK Lash is often on offer so shop around if you are buying it, I got a pack of 2 from their own website last year around Black Friday and think it was about £50.

One of the good things about this week’s Look Fantastic K-beauty edit (other than the bargain price) was that because it’s all Korean, everything has expiry dates and everything in the box has an expiry date of 2027 or 2028.

Will happily miss this one as nothing in there I “need to have” or worth that much to me! Especially as I’m waiting for the Korean edit to be delivered 🙈 AND will be getting Boots LI one as well hangs head in shame

is the No7 Good Intent Dew Bank Water Cream https://www.boots.com/no7-good-intent-dew-bank-water-cream-100ml-10363334 that’s £14.95 per 100ml
meant to be a dupe of LANEIGE Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturiser that’s £67 per 100ml www.boots.com/laneige-water-bank-blue-hyaluronic-cream-moisturiser-50ml-10348261 ? I’d be interested in hearing about comparisons!

@Back21970 - thank you! I think ill be trying UK Lash on the nights I don’t use Babe one.
I think Babe lash serum is American (I’ve heard US influencers taking about it), I get mine from Beauty Bay when there is a discount going. It doesn’t irritate my eyes but you have to put it not on your lash line, but just above so it doesn’t migrate into the eye. It also contains prostaglandin so be aware of side effects. But it’s the only one that helped me grow my lashes enough that I no longer use falsies, individuals or lash extensions.

They recently brought out a whole range that dupes K beauty. The range is called Good Intent.

@OvaHere i didn’t even know LaNeige was K-beauty! Assumed French. I got the moisturiser in the cult Beauty travel edit last summer and love it, have repurchased. If this is a good dupe, I’ll start buying that!

At some point I had a Kat Burke vitamin C cream in full size and two minis, I didn’t like that. Didn’t work with my skin at all.

@BakeOffRewatch You'll have to feedback your thoughts. I'm quite interested to try some of the range as a comparison. They've even done boxes of toner pads. Some of it might be in one of their AC's this year.

The good intent stuff has 20 pc off with student20 at the moment….it does look promising.

the hairification 24 mask (currently sold out) supposed to be v good - trying to be K18 mask.

Space NK have double Indulge points this weekend on everything and a 15% off code (15OFF) apparently working on the Victoria Beckham items.

I tried it on a VB item and it wasn't working for me.

I didn’t try the Victoria Beckham stuff but couldn’t get it to work on anything I tried.
I did order another Hair Edit as my hair likes the Vida Glow and I will sell on the other bits I don’t need as double points as gold makes a difference.

I don't know how to post a link but there's a new latest in beauty edit

The yodel tracking on my Elle box has been showing as “We have your parcel. Please check back for updates” since Tuesday and yesterday was apparently going to be delivered. This has now changed to “We have it”. Shall we take bets on it not showing up?!! 😳

I am pretty pleased with the Elle box (ordered sat arrived Weds) but likewise a bit annoyed that the Laura mercier is different to advertised. I really don’t suit pink shades. The UK Lash will go on eBay as cautious about prostaglandins. All in all still very good value, love the scrunchies and I do really like the Charlotte tilbury peach as a glowy base under blusher, although not as much as the sunset CT which is gorgeous. Now looking forward to trying the eyepatches!

@LoveLabradors The CT sunset colour is fabulous. Now one of my fave finds from an edit.

@OvaHere Yes I wasn’t expecting to like it but absolutely love it. It’s just beautiful on and likewise one of my favourite edit finds too. The whole CB blush edit was fantastic.

@LoveLabradors Yes it was wasn't the one I was expecting to love from that edit.

22% off all LiB boxes with code BOXES22 (I checked and the code works)

It's in the same van as my Baukjen return which has been with Evri for 2 weeks. This happens every time 🙄

Found it. Can confirm it is not remotely the same colour - Rose Gold is a peachy gold and Kiss From A Rose is unapologetically pink.

I’ve got Kiss From A Rose too.

Has anyone bought the Boots Love Island box and paid via PayPal? I’ve been trying all afternoon, and keep getting the same error message.
