This was recommended to me by a hairdresser, and I've now fallen in love. My hair is naturally dry, frizzy curls (lots of volume curly, not much volume when straight). I dye it brown-black and heat-style regularly so it's also damaged.
Using this mask on a weekly basis has greatly improved the condition of my hair. It's a very intense mask and 60sec really is enough to be effective. After using it my hair literally feels like silk. It's so much easier to style and has cut down enormously on problems with frizz/split ends/dryness. It doesn't make hair greasy or heavy either. Expensive, but totally worth every cent!

*Please note I am a pro Makeup Artist* This is a beautiful mascara for volume. It can be applied lightly to get a good day look or several coats for a decent night look.
It doesn't run, flake or smudge, and the colour is very black. It won't add length, but it doesn't claim to either.
It's not my favourite mascara from Lancome, but it is a great choice for many people. I prefer L'Extreme because I like a more dramatic look.

*Please note I am a pro Makeup Artist, but not a beautician or hairdresser* I've been using this kit for years, and I love it! It's cheap, very easy to use, effective, quick, and contains many applications.
I have naturally sparse and light coloured brows and I dye my hair brown-black. Using this dye every 3 weeks not only means my brows match my hair, but it makes my brows appear fuller and healthier too.
I've used it on my lashes several times but considering the added difficulty I don't think it makes a noticeable difference, especially if you usually wear mascara.
I use the blue-black, which is a great colour for dark brows - not too intense but definitely the right undertones.

This is a satisfactory basic cuticle oil, but for my dry hands it's not moisturising enough. It works perfectly well for pushing back cuticles, and I find it far gentler and less drying than using a cuticle remover.
I'm not a fan of having to brush on the oil - I prefer an oil with a dropper. That's just my personal preference though, it's not a problem with the product.
The only real problem I have with it is that the oil is too light for me. I have since started using another brand which works better for me as it's heavier and contains a lot of avocado oil. I do have very dry hands though, so manicare may be worth a try if you have oily skin/nails.
This is an inexpensive product, but I think there are better quality oils out there for the same price or less - they are much harder to find but if you have the time you may as well have a look around.

This is a pretty good atomiser, and it's so handy to have you scent in your bag to top up at lunch time. It's easy to fill up, but once you fill it with perfume you will never be able to put a difference scent in there! The scent literally sticks to the atomiser, it's impossible to remove. I marked it down not for that reason, but because it's a little too chunky for me and frankly, I think the deign looks hideous.

This is a pretty fantastic product. I don't use it any more as I always paint my nails, but if you are going bare-nailed this is the buffer to use. My nails had just amazing shine when I used them, just like it says on the pack! They are pretty cheap too which is nice, but they won't last nearly as long as manicare's three way buffer.

I use cuticle stick for each and every manicure and have bought manicare a few times. They work perfectly well, I have no complaints at all. However I don't see any difference between these and the cheaper brand I usually buy, so will stick with the cheaper brand.

I used to swear by this product but I think m y hands were dryer back then. It does ently remove cuticles and make them easy to push back but you have to work fast as it dries quickly. Now I prefer to just use cuticle oil to do this, but then I use hand cream more regularly now so my cuticles don't get as rough and ragged as they used to.

Ok.. I admit it. I've owned this thing for far too long. It's been oooohhh 5 or 6 years? I keep meaning to replace it but haven't because it still sharpens everything just fine. However the bottom bit falls off sometimes (and always has) spilling mess everywhere, and there's no travel cover for the holes so that you can put it in your makeup bag. Please don't put it in your makeup bag. I made a HORRIBLE mess like that once.
It's just a basic sharpener really, but I gave it extra hearts for the ridiculously long life it has already served.

These are small and compact, and will hold your product tightly without spillage. Good price too. These are so useful for your gym bag or travel! Not very pretty to look at though lol
