Which “OMG, This Is Great” Style, Beauty and Health Products Do You Wish You Had Found Years Ago?

[Flomasterina]

I will go first:

TePe Interdental Expanding Floss
CCS Foot Cream
Woly Foam Leather Cleaner
Goddards Silver Cloth
Reiss Belts
JL tights with silicone grips
Magnesium for better sleep

Neals Yard Wild Rose balm, it’s magic in a pot for dry skin. Smells far nicer than Elizabeth Arden 8 hour.

Professional Laser hair removal for me too @StellaAndCrow
Life changing !
All those missed beach trips with dc cos the leg hair wasn’t quite grown enough for waxing or should have had it done but beauticians being closed and the sunny spell coincided - a Sunday.
I played a bit of sport but I always wore track suit bottoms whatever the weather if they were in need of a wax.
I never even knew I had pretty nice legs till a few years ago.
People have actually commented.
I kept them well hidden. ☹️
If you are anything like me any posters on this thread, with problematic body hair I urge you to get it done.
It will do wonders for your life.
My wonderful dm helped me pay for it as it was very expensive at the time. 🩷

Yes.

Take the day off balm
nivea blue tin
sanctuary body lotion
sheild bar soap
winter hats with a silk lining
nails inc varnish and hardener
quarterly medical pedicure
monthly facial

I sleep with hydrocolloid tape on my chin (which is prone to redness and spots even though k am in my 50s!) a couple of times a week and it makes such a difference

costs about £5 for 2m

it’s the same stuff in those tiny pimple patches

Dyson Airstrait - I bought one from Vinted for xc£125 as didn’t know if it would work on my “lots of thin, but thick, frizzes up” hair
OMG - I can dry my hair in about 15 mins while on MN - it then looks better the next day and for at least 2 days after that (if I don’t do a sweaty run)

im using less heat and less product so my hair feels better for longer.

when this one does eventually die, I think I’ll invest in a new one (but probably from Boots for the points!)

@Flomasterina hi please can you say more about the magnesium? There seems to be numerous different types. Which are you taking?

Rapid Brow serum.

After the travesty of over plucking in the 90s, I thought I was doomed to a life of pencil thin brows. I've been using for about four months now and actually see growth. Fullness. Still a bit patchy but definitely getting to the point where I need to just add in a few pencil strokes rather than make up entirely new eyebrows when I want them. Wish I had heard of it years ago.

Aldi’s dupe of Bad gal mascara
Kerastase shampoo and conditioner
K18 for leave in

I have tried very expensive skincare, and it’s a lovely treat, but not worth it as I don’t feel or see a difference.
Looking forward to trying some new things from Advent calendars

Not a beauty product but using a microfibre towel for my hair really helps to keep the frizz at bay.

Love that eyebrow dye tip. Thank you.

Ooooh have been looking for something that works on my chest. Will try this as love my 8 hr cream.

Same! I’ve still a few sessions left but such a big improvement. Even if I have the odd hair I need to shave it’s so much easier to manage already. I wish I’d done it years ago.

Geurlain, Aqua Allegoria parfum in Manadarin.

@Orangebadger i haven’t tried this but a regime of hylauronic acid and 8 hour cream oil spray also massively improved my chest wrinkles

BigSkies2022
Which you tube weights videos do you follow please? I never know who is any good ! Thanks

Lush Ultrabland.

D-Mannose for UTIs. Complete game-changer. I haven't had an attack in years and I used to get 2-3 a year.

Pure Argan oil for my hair- smells amazing and makes my super thick, curly hair manageable! I also massage it into my cuticles and dry hands.

Trinny London BFF cream makes me look like I've had eight hours sleep when DD has had me up all night. It's expensive so I always ask for it for Christmas and birthdays!

MUA Pro Base compact - as good as many much more expensive versions and has the perfect pale shade for me.

Eucerin Aquaphor - the only thing that soothes and fixes my dry eyelids (and I tried EVERYTHING)

Benefit Dandelion blusher, expensive and I've tried finding dupes but I always go back to it. Perfect if you're pale for making you look awake and healthy, but not as if you're covered in blusher.

ELF 4-colour eyeshadow palette in Rose Water, a palette where I actually use all the colours.

B&B Brilliantine - again worth the £££, makes my fine, floppy flyaway hair look all piecey and styled

Palmers cocoa butter for legs

Superdrug Vitamin E moisturiser range

I like the Habi Moisture Magic for a light, gel like moisturiser at a lower price.

Tretinoin
superdrug milky toner
Margaret Dabbs foot cream
Microbladed eyebrows

1.Bed Head by Tigi Small Talk - hair thickening cream.
2.Medicube pore pads mild. Obvious since Tik tok loves it but they do work
3.Beauty of Joseon Rice Milk Toner
4.Pantene Grow Abundant shampoo & hair serum.
5.Vieve invisiveil setting spray (use after each layer of make up applied)
6.L’oreal Paris setting spray (use to fix completed make up in place
7.Heliocare Mineral SPF 50
8.Prescription Ivermectin cream
9.The Inkey List oat cleansing balm

Hello, would you link to the Starflower Oil (1000mg) you buy please?

Thanks.

Hi @ShatterPersistent
I use the SimplySupplements 1000mg Starflower oil.
I hope it works for you. It takes a while to kick in, but it's been a game changer for me. Our eye hospital tried blocking my tear ducts to keep moisture in my eyes, but it didn't work at all. Now I swipe the eye margins with blephasol on cotton wool pads night and morning to remove any invisible gunk (technical term) and take 2 capsules a day of the starflower oil. Hope this helps.

Can I ask where you get your D Mannose and what quantity you take and when?
