I have used my Boots points to order the new Clinique Sheer Tint Words Words Words hydrator foundation thing. There’s always really long titles for what’s essentially foundations these days. Anyway, it felt really nice when I tested it in store, but Boots had 15% off online and I could spend points. :queenie1000000000001: I also got the chubby stick blusher in Roasted or Robust or Robot-whatever Rhubarb.

I wanted to get them in Duty Free, but Duty Free is crap these days, so I waited for a decent deal.

Free stuff is always good. I’ve purchased Trinny London liptocheek shizz for cheap off Vinted.

I ran out of Rapidbrow and bought The Ordinary one instead and my brows have started moulting. I looked at comments for it and it says very firmly that it is not a growth serum, just to improve the appearance of eyebrows. So I've ordered Rapidbrow again.

Maybe you have! But I've tried the multi peptide thing for hair too, on my thinning patches on my head and that didn't work either so it might just be no good for me.

Thanks for the update, Bean! I've been using the RapidBrow just at night for a good few weeks and that seems to be maintaining them fine.

RapidLash is working too but I just think I'm less bothered about my lashes. It only really shows if I wear mascara, which I don't do on a daily basis.

I got RapidBrow at the weekend and started using it yesterday. I hope it works as it was quite expensive!

I bought Cosrx Snail Mucin Essence and also the cream a couple of weeks ago. I genuinely love them both. The cream is a weird texture but they’re both so nice.

So I’ve bought a few more K-Beauty things to try after a bit of research.

That reminds me, I was going to recommend a UK website for Korean beauty. Its Glam Touch. I ordered a load of Laniege stuff and it's all great and the ordering and delivery were all brilliant.

I’ve ordered 2 discovery boxes from Naturisimo - one hydrate and one glow. They are small sizes which can be taken on my hols.

I love them. I've had one of their boxes before and used everything in it. No elasticizer in sight ;)

I was completely underwhelmed by it but I'm not sure I have the right hair for it..

I was hoping it might defrizz me. I might order a tiny bottle off eBay.

This has just launched today and is expensive but I bet it's good for frizz.

I might have one I can send you, Bean. Will try and remember to look when I'm home later.

Oh that's kind of you, Absley. No worries if you can't find it though, I've just looked on eBay and there are loads of samples really cheap. I bet everyone is selling off their unwanted box items.
