How're people getting on with the lash serums? I'm finding it much harder to see an effect but am definitely losing my lashes less, which I think means they growing longer and looking a bit thicker. :look:

How's The Ordinary brow stuff, Pip?

My lashes seem slightly thicker and longer. I’ve only been using the serum for about a month so far, so I think it’s too early for really noticeable results.

I can’t see any improvement with the lash serum but I’m sure the brow serum is having a positive effect.

I’m really liking it and think I can see new growth in the bit that was most concerning me before. I’ve been using it on lashes too and think they’re longer, but not thicker.

I'm the same. It's only been a month and I don't see a difference yet. I think it took six weeks to see a difference with my brows.

I'm very pleased with my brows. This is the first time I've ever had proper eyebrows!

Are you using the Ordinary browser stuff too, Purps?

No, I'm using RapidBrow, Sal. I might swap after this tube though as I assume The Ordinary one is a fair bit cheaper.

The Ordinary is £12 something. I’ll definitely buy it again. I’ve not brought it away with me this week.

The Rapidlash definitely doesn't seem to work as well as the Rapidbrow but it did say it took 8 weeks to see results and I think I am only on 4.

My eyebrows are the best they’ve ever been. I do have a question though - do we reckon it’s a use it or lose it product? Do I need to repurchase the RapidBrow to keep the results?

I need a new footfile. Has anyone seen anything that isn't a million quid. I would like a Margaret Dabbs one but don't want to spend £26 for glorified sandpaper on a stick. #potentialnewidea

The Leighton Denny one is very good:

I like the London Grace one. Don’t use it after a bath though, you have to do it on dry feet.

Thanks guys. I bought the Leighton Denny one. Much as the more spenny LG one tempted me. Money's too tight to mention this month. :lg:

Thanks!

I have been using both the Sali Hughes for Revolution cleansers (one is a melting balm for make up removal, the other is a more generic cream cleanser) and also the moisturiser which I use as a night cream. I really like them all, and have bought the Vitamin C serum but I'm dutifully using up the one I currently have before I start that :))

I'm curious about this too. Have you noticed a change since you dropped down to using it once a day (I think you said you'd done that?)?

I've heard that the eyelash results don't last, so I'm assuming it's the same.

Yes, if you stop the eyelash treatment the results won’t last. It’s more of a conditioning treatment I think.

I got 2 of the new Lisa Eldridge lipsticks: Strawberry Shock (below, which is the best colour EVER) and Rainbow Spill.
