Product: Mavala Cuticle Oil   Who for: Anyone who wants to improve the health of their nails   First impressions: Like the brush applicator   After one week: Love how my nails look after using   After one month: Nails look hydrated   Stockists: Mavala, Nail Polish Direct, John Lewis, LookFantastic, Amazon   I am a former nail biter, there I said it.  When I get stressed and feel under pressure, I bite my nails not just the nails but the skin around them that I make them sore.  When I was younger, I really did bite my nails until they bled.  And who ever said getting engaged will stop you biting your nails are correct.  That is when I stopped biting them on a regular basis.  But years of being a biter have left my nails weak, ridged and do not grow very well.  My thumb nails split horizontally, my ring finger on my right hand has vertical ridges which when it gets to a certain length it splits all the wa...

  Product: GOSH DONODERM Prime ‘n’ Set Spray   Who for: Anyone who likes to set their make-up   First impressions: Fine mist   After one week: Does what it says   After one month: What can I say it does what it says   Stockists: GOSH, Superdrug   As I had a reaction to their Eyelash and Eyebrow growth serums, I was worried about how my skin would react to this.   It did not which is great but as I am a person who in the summer or in general does not wear a lot of make-up it is not something that I would wear on a daily basis.   I think I would use it if I were going out and as there are restrictions on going out in the UK, I will not need it.   If you are someone who wears foundation etc, then this would be perfect especially as we must wear a mask when out an about.   There is no fragrance, does not leave the skin sticky or shiny.   It is just not for me.

  Product: GOSH Grow Serum Eyelash   Who for: Anyone who wants to fill in any gaps   First impressions: Hope it helps my eyelashes   After one week: Had to stop using it   After one month: Had to stop using it   Stockists: GOS.H, Superdrug, Amazon   Unfortunately, I had to stop using this after three days as I developed soreness in the eyebrow and eyelid area.   After a couple of days, the areas were itchy and lumps and redness.

  Product: Cur é l Moisture Facial Milk   Who for: Anyone with dry sensitive skin   First impressions: More of a lotion rather than a milk   After one week: Skin absolutely loves it   After one month: My skin drinks it in   Stockists: Cur é l, Boots, Amazon   This is one of two products in the range available at Boots that I had not tried.   I thought it would be a little thicker than it was.   I apply this straight after I have cleansed my skin.   The bottle recommends two pumps, but I use three as I find that amount covers my face, neck and décolleté.   It sinks in and skin feels soft, hydrated, not sticky, and smooth.   It works well under the moisturiser that is in the range and others.   It is a great base before applying serums and oils.   It also works great over my prescription of Skin+Me and Dermatica if I need a little more hydration when I feel that my skin is dry and tight.

  Product: Knight and Wilson Colour Freedom Ultra-Vibrant Non-Permanent Hair Colour Misty Grey   Who for: Anyone who wants to change their hair without commitment   First impressions: It looks purple   After one week: Great colour   After one month: Fades brilliantly   Stockists: Superdrug, Knight and Wilson.   I want to be grey – I can not wait for my hair to go grey naturally, so I bleached it and applied this to my hair for an hour.   The colour was great it took at least nine weeks for it to fade.   It made my hair lovely and soft, it felt nourished after applying it.   The tube for me has at least two applications.

Product: Knight and Wilson Colour Freedom Pasteliser   Who for: Anyone who wants to personalise their hair colour   First impressions: Smells nice   Stockists: Superdrug, Knight and Wilson Hubby bought this with the colour and bleach as he thought it would be fun to experiment with the colour.  The great thing about this is that you can add as much of this to your Knight and Wilson Colour Freedom Ultra-Vibrant Non-Permanent Hair.  Meaning that you can become your own colourist and make the colour you use as unique as you are.
