So, having been paid, I duly sent off for the latest "miracles" in a tube!
The products that have been getting a lot of media coverage and hype are Boots No7 NEW Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced serums (prices £24.95 for the new face serum, on 3 for 2 No7 items at the moment!). Having been to Boots.com its seems to be just the face serum that's new and improved, but to be honest, I've always been a fan of their serum range even before this latest upgrade, although they have added to the range in general. They seemed to work, they actually did what they said on the tin! (OK, box, picky picky! 😉)
So I thought THIS time, I'd forgoe using all my other serums, lotions and potions in my never ending bid to look younger, and do a proper trial. With before, during and after pictures this time! So along with the new, more powerful face serum, I also got the eye cream although luckily I only have the start of fine lines around my eye area - not so my frown lines, as can be seen in the photos, and I've also suddenly developed cleavage wrinkles! 😱Yes! Wrinkles! In my CLEAVAGE! Which is totally unfair, how am I supposed to get served in a bar quicker now?! So, drastic action required!
I'll be using the body serum (which isn't "advanced", but IS new!) only on my cleavage and neck area as I don't have wrinkles anywhere else yet! I dread to think which part of my body will go wrinkly next. No, no, lets not think about that. Let's think how in 4 weeks time you'll never know how much I frowned and I'll be able to go back to my assets getting me through queues! (P.s. not to offend anyone out there, but hey if you've got it you may aswell flaunt it and be loud and proud about it! If you've never pulled your top down a tiny bit or unbuttoned a top button for laughs, drinks or queue jumping then you've never had a drunken, girly night out with dares and challenges!😉).
Please excuse the pictures, I tried to get as good a picture as I could to show off the depth of my lines and wrinkles! I am showing off all my insecurities so please be kind. I am makeup-less too to show the 'real' skin I'm attempting to save from the ravages of time.

The second part of my title insinuates correctly, that I'll be trialling a new brow growth product, called Brow Boost by Billion Dollar Brows RRP £25. I don't actually know if this is new, but I'd never heard of them until I started seeing lots of praise all over Twitter for this product, and it's also worth noting they do other brow products and you can save some money by getting sets. I've seen lots of pictures of before and after using this product, and it seems to cause a significant growth. After a spate of over plucking in the 90's, my little straggly brows are, well, embarrassing really! Using pencils or powders etc., well, nothing's come close to looking like a natural brow for me, I guess the blonde colouring isn't particularly helpful, but a few darker brow hairs I'm convinced will make all the difference. You can see by the pictures I have been trying to grow them, but they seem to have grown a little line somewhere under my current brows, with a gap in the middle - they basically look a mess!
So again, baring my weak and feeble brow, I'm going to do a trial the same length as the anti-wrinkle serums and see what happens. Apparently you can also use this on eyelashes, which makes it even more of a multi-tasking bargain, and its also distinctly better on the purse than some of the other branded brow and lash serums (which I've tried - the lash one did actually help, the brow one didn't seem to do anything, but that's not to say they won't work for other people).

And usefully, for trial purposes, you can also see my fine eye lines here. I think I may just go and cry in the corner and resort to tying my hair back so tightly it gives me an instant facelift though!
Other than possibly some update pics halfway through (plus my normal blog posts of course), I'll see you back here in 4 weeks with smooth wrinkle free skin and brows to make Cara jealous! I hope......
Have a fab day my Lovelies!
