  Product: ELF Enhancing Lash & Brow Serum   Who for: Anyone who wants to improve the look of their lashes and brows   First impressions: Wish the brush was a spoolie   After one week: Improvement in how they look   After one month: Can see new growth in my brows and lashes seem stronger   Stockists: ELF Cosmetics, FeelUnique, Superdrug   I was sent this product to try from one of the many magazine beauty clubs that I subscribe to.  The only issue I had with this product was the applicator I would have preferred a spoolie rather than the fine brush.  Within one week of daily application during my morning skincare routine I noticed an overall improvement in the look of my eyebrows and lashes.  Within a month there was new growth in an area of baldness in my brows.  This is the best one that I have used so far and I will keep using it until I have finished it then re-assess the look of my lashes and brows...

    Product: ELF Lash It Loud Mascara   Who for: Anyone who wants mega volume that your lashes look fuller, bolder, and longer   First impressions: Strange Brush   After one week: Love the way, my lashes look   After one month: The volume   Stockists: ELF Cosmetics, FeelUnique, Superdrug, Boots   I was sent this to try from one of the many magazine beauty clubs that I subscribe to.  The brush is different to other mascaras I have used as the bristles are slightly further apart.  I can get into the inner corners without any problems, and they are emphasised brilliantly.  I did not notice any smudges or drop off, and I wore it when it was raining heavily and extremely hot.  It is a great mascara for everyday wear.

Product: Josh Wood Airbrush with tool   Who for: Anyone who wants to cover root growth.   First impressions: Excited to try.   After one week : Love it.   After one month: Love it.   Stockists: Josh Wood Colour   I was sent this as part of my order as I had joined their auto-delivery for the No 5 with Copper Gold Shot.   Which was a surprise and so helpful as I do not dye my hair as soon as I see the grey roots but every six.   This means I have an inch of growth.   This covers it perfectly and the brush helps blends the product in so that there are no hard lines.   This is a great product which I will be repurchasing, and the brush is the perfect partner.  

  Product: Toni & Guy Illuminating Hair Perfume   Who for: Anyone who wants to refresh their hair and add a shine.   First impressions: Smells nice.   After one week: Not sure it is for me.   After one month: Definitely not for me   Stockists: Superdrug, Amazon   I must be honest I had great hopes for this as I wanted it to be great and make my hair look and feel great.  The smell was fine even okay it was not something that would make me want to use it regularly.  My hair is damaged from all the bleach last year and I have not grown it all out yet, but this emphasised the damage – it made it look and feel like straw.  I did not spray it directly on my hair, I sprayed it on to a Denman Boar Bristle brush then brushed it through my hair. Still look like straw and I had to wash my hair the next morning as it looks oily and lifeless which is not my hair.  Sorry Toni&Guy I will not be buying this again.

  Josh Wood Colour Miracle System no. 5 with Copper Gold Shot This is the reason that I chose this range as I have dropped my base colour down one number and changed my Colour Shot.  Why?  When I was in my twenties, I dyed my hair using Clairol Ultress Y43 as I love the redness in my hair – I should have been born a red head.  I spent my weekends during Secondary school dying my hair with henna to make it red.  So, when Josh Wood Colour brought this out and it was time to dye my roots, I needed to buy it.  All I can says is I love it; I love it that much I set up the auto delivery so I will get it every six weeks to cover my grey roots.  I am always happy with the results that I get whenever I use this brand.  I love the redness in my hair that this has given me.

  Product: Simple Kind to Skin Micellar Cleansing Water   Who for:  Everyone and anyone   First impressions: Will this remove my eye makeup easily.   After one week: Removes Benefit BadGal Bang with ease.   After one month: My eyes are not irritated.   Stockists: Simple, Boots, FeelUnique, Amazon, Morrisons   After having issues with using TooFaced cleanser on my eyes and OMG the sting, I bought this so that I would not have to suffer any more.  This is kind to the skin around my eyes without irritating them and making the dry eye worse.  Before using the TooFaced Cleanser, I will soak two cotton pads with it and leave them on my eyes for two minutes then gently pull them down.  Then fold them in half and wipes them along the top lash line carefully to remove any remaining eyeliner and mascara.  I have also found that the drops I use for my dry eyes leaves a film that pills, this removes it and refreshes m...

  Product: Mane 'n' Tail Deep Moisture Shampoo   Who for: Anyone and everyone   First impressions: Its blue.   After one week: Dry patch of hair soft and hydrated.   After one month: Hair has softness and bounce.   Stockists: Boots, Superdrug, Mane and Tail, Lookfantastic,   If you have used the original, you will be shocked to see that this version is blue.  A nice silvery blue.  This has the same smell as the original the only difference is that it has more moisturising benefits.  I used a size of a 10 pence piece to wash my hair.  The first wash did not foam up as much as the second wash, the bubbles are fine and easily washed out my hair.  It leaves my hair feeling soft and hydrated and when dry has a bounce and softness.
