Lipocils! does it work?

If you type into youtube or google ‘how to grow your eyelashes long and thick’ a lot of products and methods will come up like Vaseline or castor oil or lilash. However I picked lipocils because it was reasonable priced and from videos in youtube it obviously worked! I got my product from ebay from Tawiwan for £15 rather the £20 in other stores. I received it in 2weeks and I have to be honest I was scared it wasn’t real but now looking at how my eyelashes were before-it was obvs real


Usage: I used it every day for amonth I think or even less. The first 2weeks I put it on very meticulously twice aday and soon after I just ran the wand once or twice through my lashes once aday and even some days I forgot to even put in on.

Results: as you can see my eyelashes (well I don’t think) grew that long at all but it defo made my eyelashes sooo much thicker. I haven’t put mascara on since like ever because I thought it would be a waste but now….well who knows?!

My verdict: although I wanted it to make my eye lashes longer, I will continue to use it and buy it whenever I can afford it (£15 is abit much lol) honestly Im scared not using it because I know once you stop using it your eyelashes will revert to it normal state (says on the website) I say yes! I do recommend it but only for Thickness-length I think you should invest in an expensive product like enormous lash (see videos on youtube)

Avon overnight Elixier review

Ok, I have just received my Avon advance techniques intense repair over night elixir for damaged or distressed hair! At night (on my good days!) I usually comb out my hair apply some more leave-in condish and then apply thickly shea butter and immediately comb into a bun and cover it with a ‘satin hat thing’ although I have noticed a big difference in the health of my hair, I thought this night treatment thing I was doing seems to be make such a big difference to my hair, that I should get a product that is designed for that job. So I researched and decided on the avon brand.


Overnight elixir comes in a 100ml bottle, it comes with a small pump which gives out this kind of thick, well not heavy enough to weigh down my hair (and its fine!) product, it smells very hair producty! lol there is a certain underlying smell all hair products have and this smell is like that smell but proper exaggerated! The smells alright don’t get me wrong!

Usage: I used it every night as a nightly treatment, and used it in conjunction with shea butter. This definitely made my hair soo much thicker and stronger, and my hair wasn’t so dry in the morning. When my Neutrogena silky leave in conditioner finished and I was waiting for my herbal essence long term relationship to come I used this product as a day moisturiser as well. It did the job very nicely to the point where I considered buying another avon intense repair elixir but the smell was beginning to get to me and also the texture. The smell in heavy does (seeing as I was using it day and night) was too much-smelled abit like sick; my sister noticed the smell and it was very embarrassing. Also the texture was soo oily that once I rubbed it in my hair I would still have product on my hands and have to get a towel to rub it off, otherwise I’ll hold onto something and it’ll slide off. Also I noticed that while my hair felt moistured straight after using it, just a couple minutes later my hair would feel wirey but coated in oil.

My conclusion: this product fooled me! To think I was going to buy another bottle! I will NOT be buying this product again! (The reason for the change in opinion from my into and the usage section is that I started there review the minute I got it and reviewed usage the minute I finished it)
