It has arrived! Ordered less than 24 hours ago. And there was a free towel! Will have a proper look later

Blown away by how good the service was and how quick it came! And the mask feels amazing to use. It comes with cute little eye goggles too

I did the daily dose programme earlier (all 7 different colours) and it was so relaxing I fell asleep! Time will tell if it does anything for my skin

Cult Beauty have 20% off 'hair and tools', including NuFace - this would make the Mini plus 60ml of primer c£113.

Should I go for this or have there been better offers on NuFace in previous Black Fridays? I think the holiday set seems to be good value anyway as the mini is cheaper than a mini by itself, so add in the 20% discount and I’m very tempted.

However, in what I acknowledge is the height of First World Problems, if I buy this then I can’t / shouldn’t buy The Dress of Dreams that I’ve been coveting from The Fold. A wonderful problem to have, I know, but the dress is:love:

Ooh, which dress? I love The Fold (but have no reason to wear any of it right now).
The Rennes, ivory and navy suit me, and I like the shape and the weight, but I’ll be working from home for a while yet. Still, I’ve been envisaging myself strutting into meetings wearing this since I spotted it 😭

I couldn’t pull that off, but it’s lovely! I think you should get it: CB will have another 20% off event.

Thanks both, I think I will go for the dress and keep the NuFace on my list of things I'd like to buy over the next year.

Still enjoying the Aduro mask! Feels super relaxing

But I came here to say I am absolutely in love with my Gua Sha tool. Even if I'm running late I can still give myself a quick facial massage. It does make my face red for a few minutes- increased blood circulation I assume- but that subsides. Absolutely delighted with it and it only cost a couple of quid

Anyone tried the Foreo UFO or Bear? The Bear is apparently more powerful than the NuFace but doesn't have the various attachments.

I have a UFO and absolutely love it. I did consider the Bear but it's off putting as it only works with the app and you can't stop it to apply more gel or whatever as with the Nuface. So I'll stick with my Nuface. Plus the Nuface is larger

Can you use the UFO by itself or do you need the mask they sell for it? What results did you notice?

Really good to know about the Bear v NuFace.

Sorry for the delay!

The UFO needs the UFO masks, there's loads of different types

My favourites are:

Cannabis Seed Oil: calming
Green Tea: Purifying (smells amazing)
Rose: can't remember what it does but it feels amazing
Youth Junkie: collagen serum

There's less expensive day and night masks too, the above ones are "advanced" and more expensive.

So when you put the mask on the UFO and pair it to your phone it runs through the light cycle for that mask. So for green tea it does green light and blue light. Essentially you massage the UFO around your face. The pulsations feel amazing too

There's usually enough essence in the mask so I put that on my chest and sometimes I'll do a second treatment (the treatment is only 90 seconds)

I love it, don't use it every day as it would get costly replacing the masks all the time, I tend to use it on weekends or if my skin needs a boost. Just feels incredible and relaxing and my skin always looks great after

So interesting. Did you see the James Welsh review of Foreo products (he was very clear it was an ad). He suggested that the UFO could just be used with a serum which would definately make me more interested.

Now I just need a home device to melt my fat away haha.

Will check him out! I absolutely love the masks though so I'm happy to keep buying them

I ordered a second Gua Sha tool so I can massage the other side of my face at the same time- so I can save even more time and be sure that both sides are even. It was only a few quid so why not

I really like James and he has a twin brother Robert who has a make up channel. They have just started a channel together which honestly is making me laugh so much.

Something else I stumbled upon and wonder if any of you have used is the Jillian Dempsey Gold Sculpting bar? Was a bit skeptical and pulled a face as I was first reading about it but then it went on to say Jennifer Aniston swears by it and that was all they had to say! It actually does look very good, a little bit of indulgence and I watched a few videos on it where they said it feels really nice. That might be one to add to the Christmas wish list!
Reading this thread with interest but just wanted to say, please don't spend £185.00 on the Jillian Dempsey gold sculpting bar. You will get exactly the same results with a £20 version from Amazon or wherever. In fact the cheaper generic versions pre-date hers. She just made a high-end gold plated version of a cheapo Asian beauty tool that's been around for ages, rather than the cheapo brands copying her if you know what I mean. You'd just be paying for the gold plate and her Hollywood friends' endorsement.

I wonder is it the same kind of thing with Gua Sha tools and the like? I got mine from Amazon for a few quid but there are some going for ridiculous prices just because there's a brand name stamped on it

Yep. As long as your gua sha is the right shape and is made from jade or rose quartz those are the main things. But it should still be pretty cheap. Although I'm sure some elite Chelsea facialist to the stars can happily persuade their clients to drop £150 on their branded one! (that they probably import from China at £2.99 a unit)
