When 90% of it is unknown brands and those that are even slightly desirable are either totally random products (I picked up a nip and fab glycolic moisturiser once purely because I recognised the brand - it was brilliant actually) or out of date. I very nearly spent £40 on two packs of a peel mask thing by zelens before realising that a) I don't need any more actives and b) if I fell in love with it I wouldn't be able to keep up using it as the RRP is about £90 a pot. Also realised that £20 for a mask is ridiculous regardless of the RRP.
However - I have fallen back in love with skincare which is a bit dangerous. I feel like I can tolerate my dermatica prescription enough now that I'm starting to add other stuff in and getting a little bit obsessive again. I bought the nuface the other day - mostly because I wanted the Cult Beauty Unsung Heroes goodie bag (free with £170+ purchase) - which itself is full of stuff I either don't need or want - and have realised I have very little need for it as I have virtually no sagging whatsoever so it will no doubt gather dust until I can be bothered to sell it or give it away. I may look into sending it back although I bought the bundle with the mini one for eyes and lips and that's actually very good for depuffing and brightening my undereyes. I also don't know if I could return it even if I wanted to.
A few months ago I bought the currentbody LED mask which I do highly recommend. I do feel better about spending ridiculous money on hardware that will last (hopefully) for years and should actually do something, even if it's minor, vs spending the same amount on lotions and potions.
Speaking of which, I think it was one of you lot who recommended the DDG eye serum which I bought a few months ago - I haven't noticed anything from this and I've nearly finished the bottle
eye products normally last me forever which made me feel better about the inital outlay for it but it's going down super quick so doubly disappointing!
I've started a general beauty chat thread - thought it would be nice as lots of us started following Queen Hirons due to an interest and it leaves more space in this thread for taking the piss out of the freaks
Feel free to post pictures of rashes, sunburn, average looking husbands etc. x
I searched for a similar thread but couldn't find one. Thought this might be a good idea to talk about product recommendations, skincare stuff etc. in one place rather than scattered through various influencers' threads (like Sali Hughes/Caroline Hirons etc etc). as there's obviously a lot of us...
