Ooh @Netaporter I've been searching up the sleeping googles - been fancying a heated eye mask they look really fab. Will be interested to hear if they are good. Also bought my DH a theragun a few years ago went down v well and gets lots of use - by me as well!!! 🤞 your DH is pleased with them.

Love love love today's I know it's not a big ticket item but it's another of those little luxuries that I really enjoy. Love Verden as a brand and anything that helps me get a good nights sleep is a winner!!! Have used it like a hand cream but maybe I'll try the soles of the feet trick tonight too!

Unpopular opinion but even though my mascara is slightly gloopy / claggy (original one in the box) but it actually goes on really well and the brush makes my eyelashes more curled! Not sure I’d buy a full one but I’ve been wearing the little one we got every day since I opened it and I like it ☺️

When I opened my replacement mascara this morning it still looked a bit claggy and lumpy, however it did go on very nicely.
The brush is too big for the tube, which doesn’t help the look and feel when you open it. The brush itself is good though and it gave my lashes a nice defined curl.

Either way, I’m very impressed by the fast postage and great customer service here. And as I said in my previous post, this replacement tube is much better and I’m happy.

People complaining about the mascara...have you considered that that's just the texture of the mascara rather than complaining?! Maybe it's just not the mascara for you? I would just think "oh I won't bother buying this mascara as it's not ideal for me" rather than complaining lots of times! Mine was a bit gloopy too but it went on fine.

@Netaporter definitely sweeter rather than magnesium.

@Hicupping i love the OTO spray, it’s lovely.

@IlovePond we’re gonna need a new thread as we’re on page 40!

The mascara i got was gritty and bits went in my eyes. I won't be purchasing Jones Road mascara.

Eta - i will complain because bits of the mascara went into my eyes and it was very uncomfortable.

Same here.

I really like it. Mascara is an item I don’t spend much on as I have naturally long lashes that just need darkening as they’re blonde. So I’m unlikely to repurchase it at the RRP but I loved the curling effect with the swipe of a mascara wand.

I slept so well after the magnesium cream. I wasn’t sure where to put it 😀

Ilikeyoursleeves · 18/12/2025 07:33

Some skin care today! Dermalogica daily microfoliant and Paula’s Choice Boost. Will need to read up on these! Great to have a double drawer though

My first was almost totally dried out and the replacement was great. So I don't think it's just how the product is? But also, kind of up to us if we want to complain!

I'm absolutely not going to use my eye pencil and love the grenado so happy to swap if that's what you mean?

I’ve now worn the eyeliner twice and it’s smudged badly so I’m not keen to acquire another! Maybe at the end we can see who wants to swap what - there was talk of a swaps thread wasn’t there?
