Best brow gel on the market. I’ve tried a multitude of brow gels from drugstore to high end but have never settled on one that I liked until now! I usually find them to thick, too opaque and unnatural looking, shades are too warm or gingery for my cool toned fair skin or the brush is useless and results in getting the gel everywhere.
Gimme Brow really is a game changer. Formula is spot on in every way from colour and consistency to the way it applies and the brush/spoolie is fantastic! It really is tiny compared to other brands but it’s size allows for more precise application and much better control, it keeps the gel exactly where you want it - on your rows and not the skin underneath!

Benefit Cosmetics ka-BROW! Cream-Gel Eyebrow Color

I’ve tried many brow crepes/pomades from drugstore dupes, NYX to Anastasia but I’ve got to say that this is simply the best eyebrow product I have ever used! Being fair skinned with cool undertones and blonde hair I usually struggle to find a shade that fits. Most lighter shades are too gingery and slightly darker shades always seem to have very warm reddish undertones which do not suit my skin at all.
Benefit shade 3.5 is absolutely perfect. It looks very dark especially if viewing online but it really is lighter than it appears plus it’s buildable so you can achieve the shade you desire. My daughter is brunette with darker skin than me and she uses exactly the same shade! It’s cool toned and not so dark that you look as if you’ve drawn your brows on with a sharpie. The consistency is fab, opaque enough so that it’s not wishy washy and a teeny bit really does go a long way so although it’s at the pricier end of the market it still remains value for money. It has a lovely creamy texture that just glides on and once applied it doesn’t budge! No smudging, doesn’t wear away and stays looking as if it’s been freshly applied all day long. It comes off when you want it to one off and not a second before!
I am also impressed with the brush that is built into the packaging. Very rarely if ever do I use the brushes/applicators that come with any product but this tiny brush has become my go to for brows. It enables you to create very thin hairlike brush strokes which is especially useful for the inner brow area, it’s soft enough to not drag against your skin but firm enough to give the desired effect when it comes to shaping brows. It even beats my Spectrum brow brush and my Anastasia angled brow brush.
I personally always finish my brows with Benefit Gimme Brow gel but that is just personal preference, this product doesn’t really require any other product to give it staying power, it has enough of that all on its own.

Radox Muscle Relax Bath Salts Soak

As a paediatric nurse on a busy acute unit I am forever on the go. Non stop fourteen hour shifts really do take their toll and boy do my feet, ankles and back like to remind me of it when coming towards the end of my shift!
Literally the first thing I do when I get home is pop in that plug and add this to hot running water to create the perfect soothing and relaxing soak. The smell is gorgeous and invigorating, refreshing me so that I can hold out a little longer and spend time with my family.
It honestly does soothe achy tired muscles and joints and leaves you feeling relaxed and calmed.
I love my job and wouldn’t change it for the world but on the extra tough days the thought of being able to end the day in a steaming bath of Radox really does help to get me through.

Dental hygiene and the way my teeth look has always always been a priority for me. For years I had to choose between a product that kept my smile bright and white or a product that was able to combat the severe sensitivity that I get. Due to sensitivity teeth whitening is a no no and therefore I have to rely on my toothpaste and mouthwash to do the job. I’ve used Colgate pro relief since it was first released and immediately switched to the whitening version when that was produced.
My teeth are whiter than ever and my mouth has never felt so clean. The toothpaste itself is nice and minty but not to the point that it burns your mouth.
As for sensitivity? What sensitivity? This is THE best product for anyone with sensitive teeth. You really do notice the difference immediately and in just a short amount of time sensitivity is banished for good. Putting a small amount in a clean fingertip and rubbing it directly on to sensitive areas really does offer immediate relief just as the adverts claim.
Number one brand for sensitivity and whitening.

As a natural blonde who loves switching things up and adding colour to her hair I cannot praise this product enough.
Being blonde means that at first my hair grabs hold of colour with fantastic results but it just as quickly let’s it go again, I’ve tried many brands that claim to maintain colour and always been left disappointed. John Frieda is literally the only hair product that locks my colour in and keeps it looking fresh, vibrant, shiny and healthy. It even helps to mask those early pesky greys that have started to sneak in when I’m not looking! My hair looks and feels amazing after just one use and it smells divine. It may be me but I like that just washed scent to stick around between washes and this ticks that box too. Whatever my hair colour John Frieda shampoos and conditioners are my go to every time.

I’ve lost count of how many times I have purchased this lip balm I love it that much!
I literally have a tube everywhere. Besides my bed, in my handbag, my work bag and in my desk.
I apply this whenever my lips feel slightly dry or tight and I never go to sleep without applying a good amount.
I can honestly say that in the years that Ive been using this brand I have never had chapped or cracked lips. It really is a godsend especially now in the Autumn and winter months. I use it all year round and would not be without it.
Want soft supple kissable lips? Break out the Carmex!

Since discovering these fabulous little pads I simply wouldn’t be without them.
I’ve always had an issue with enlarged pores and have never been happy with my skin texture. Since using these my pores have significantly reduced in size and therefore visibility. My skin is soft and smooth without a trace of oil. My face looks and feels more radiant whereas before I felt it was dull and tired looking.
I use them alongside other nip fab producrs such as the glycolic cleanser and glycolic scrub. It is recommended that you wear sunscreen or a face product that contains a decent SPF after using them as they can make your skin slightly more sensitive to the sun. That said I’m sure that most of us do incorporate SPF containing products into our daily regime already.
