Okay, so I'm getting loads of adverts for the Zoeva lip pencil and it looks brilliant
Need a blunt friend to tell me if it's shit or not.

I’m being influenced by ads for supplements that will make me feel and look 20 years younger and sleep for 9 hours every night.
Also, bathroom scales that replace a DEXA scan that will motivate me to have an influencer body
Not sure why I’m getting random wedding dress ads, I’ve been married for 28 years. Must be a glitch in the algorithm.

I always think that supplements just come out in your piss

Search for honest reviews on Reddit. Search for bad reviews. Leave it a week and see if you still want it. If you feel you're being influenced you probably are.

I have a wishlist I write things on and then when I want to treat myself I look at the lost and choose something. Half the stuff I put on there I'm no longer interested in after a week!

Don’t know if you want to know this or not, but Zoeva eye pencils are really good! I check Trustpilot for reviews first before taking the plunge.

Oh lord. Lip ones? Theyre quite expensive

🤣 they are obviously having a big push as I came here to ask the same question! They do look very nice - I like the colours.

I don’t have the lip pencils but I have a couple of the eyeliners and I think they’re fab.

Don’t know if that helps or not 😂

Can you link to the lip pencil?

iCod · 24/12/2025 15:09

I will but will fuck up your algorithm

Ah thanks. I’m not in TikTok though. I’ll do a search.

Bobblehead1 · 25/12/2025 13:29

I have the lip pencil - can’t say it was anything special at all!
I do love their eyeliners though.

Oh ok. Boo
