Five star-rated eyelash growth serum that 'works within two weeks' on sale now
Beauty shoppers are saying they'll 'never use mascara again' Beauty enthusiasts are swearing off mascara after experiencing the effects of a lash growth serum that delivers results in as little as two weeks. The NYK1 LashForce Eyelash Growth Serum has been tested by both dermatologists and ophthalmologists. The NYK1 LashForce Eyelash Growth Serum promises to stimulate eyelash growth from the first application, with visible results appearing within weeks. Unlike other serums on the market that merely condition lashes and brows, NYK1's unique formula works by boosting blood circulation, clearing hair follicles of blockages, and supplying essential nutrients for healthy growth. In contrast to some competitors, NYK1's award-winning LashForce Eyelash Growth Serum claims to be free of harmful ingredients that could change eye colour or cause eye damage. If you're exploring alternatives, UKLash Lash Serum, dubbed the 'world's number one', is currently discounted from £38 to £30.40 at Sephora. Alternatively, Babe Original's Essential Serum is now priced at £21.70, down from £27 at Beauty Bay. The impressive outcomes of NYK1's award-winning lash growth serum seem to be validated by its numerous glowing five-star shopping reviews. The serum is oil-free, making it compatible with mascara and Lash Extensions as you anticipate lash growth. Users have been wowed by its rapid effectiveness in thickening and lengthening lashes, with some reporting they've abandoned mascara and eyelash extensions completely due to their newfound lash volume. An elated beauty enthusiast shared their experience with the NYK1 eyelash serum: "Use this for my lashes and brows, since hitting menopause they have become very sparse and my eyebrows virtually non existent! "You have to be consistent, it took about three months for my lashes to start to grow back but are now much longer and thicker, it took longer for my eyebrows to start the regrowth but I am now starting to see progress. Would recommend but you must be patient to see progress." Beauty deal of the week Perfume fans will be keen to hear about a deal we have just spotted at Boots. Those looking for something "timeless" and "distinctive" might already have Givenchy's Amarige Eau de Toilette on their radar. A favourite since the early 90s, it's got a bit of a cult reputation. Even better, Boots has just dropped the cost of a large 100ml from £109 to just £54.50, allowing shoppers to save an impressive 50 percent off a beloved perfume. Its scent makes up a "beautiful bouquet of white flowers", with top notes of tangerine, violet and rosewood being mixed with heart notes of gardenia, mimosa, red fruits and ylang-ylang. The scent then finishes on "vibrant yet muted" base notes of ambergris, precious woods, musks and vanilla. The bottle, which was designed by perfume legend Pierre Dinand, takes inspiration from the ruffles sleeves of a Bettina Blouse designed by Givenchy. One shopper who is a devoted fan wrote: "One five-star review read: "I bought this on offer at Boots, it was around £30 cheaper than anywhere else! It has an amazing timeless distinctive scent must be tried!" A second loyal fan said: "The best perfume of all times! So classy! I'm glad it is back for it has been my signature perfume for more than a decade. Intense. Long lasting. Amazing. Complements galore!" Shop Boots' half-price deal on the Givenchy Amarige Eau de Toilette (50ml) here. Another satisfied customer commented: "I use this on my lashes AND brows and it works really well. I've a small chunk of brow missing usually, and a small scar. I apply this just on that section and the hair grows well, enough to almost match the rest of that brow, and it hides the scar. "My lashes have thickened and grown nicely. The serum for brows isn't as effective and can only be used on the brows I believe. Another shared: "I've always despised my short eyelashes. I saw a change within two weeks of using this serum. I'd go as far as to say I have long lashes now. After a few months, I tried a cheaper brand. Never again. My lashes were dreadful. I will never deviate again. It even works on my brows." A separate spender expressed: "This is the second time I have purchased this product. My eyelashes are now very long, I have received comments about them when wearing mascara, but a bit disappointed about the thickness." A three-star reviewer noted: "My friend's eyelashes are about an inch longer after using this product, but mine haven't changed at all. I have used it every morning and night for several months but no change. So it works, but not for everyone." However, another enthusiast of the lash serum enthused: "Best product I have ever used for my eyelashes and they're longer and fuller than ever. People often mistake me for wearing fake lashes. "Be patient, it took eight weeks for me to start noticing and 12 weeks for the compliments to start rolling in. I wish I had a before picture, my lashes were short and fair and it looked like I had no lashes without mascara on. Now my lashes look fabulous. Just a small amount of mascara to define the length." Another reviewer gushed: "Even with no mascara on you can now actually see my lashes. Three of my friends have purchased now just from seeing my results. Photo doesn't do it justice. No smell to product, no irritation, I have sensitive skin and react a lot. I apply only once a day in the morning. Won't be without it." Buy the lash serum here.

Hair thickening shampoo with 'life-changing' results hailed by shopper in her 70s
One user said it's 'changed her life for the better' As we grow older, it's typical for our hair to become finer and thinner. But beauty buffs have stumbled upon a revolutionary shampoo that adds thickness and volume to hair. Philip Kingsley's Density Hair Thickening Shampoo is crafted to enhance hair condition while giving it a fuller appearance - and it's already garnering rave reviews from satisfied shoppers. The haircare company offers a wide range of products that all promise to help keep locks nourished. It also works on a subscription re-fill basis. As a one time purchase, a 200ml bottle of Philip Kingsley Shampoo costs £31, while a 500ml costs £56. However, shoppers can save 20 per cent right now when they sign up to the brand's refill service. This lowers down the price of each bottle to £24.80 and £44.80, respectively. Hair care fans can sign up to get their shampoo replenished every one, two or three months with no change in price. The shampoo cleanses the scalp, fortifies strands, and imparts long-lasting fullness, making it perfect for those with thinning hair. Its ingredients include hydrolysed pea peptides, which offer antioxidant, hydrating, and smoothing benefits, reports the Manchester Evening News. Alternatively, the Noughty Get Set Grow Shampoo, at a reasonable price of £7.64 on Amazon, offers a budget-friendly volumising option. Its potent mix of organic pea sprouts, robust green coffee beans, piroctone olamine, and moisture-rich hyaluronic acid is designed to give a smooth and thickened hair appearance. Another choice available is Redkin's Volume Injection Shampoo which retails for £19.23 on Amazon. However, the Density Shampoo itself has earned itself some fantastic reviews online. An older woman shared her experience with the product, saying: "I have fine, naturally blonde hair even though I'm in my early seventies, but just lately, it has started thinning. The Density Shampoo and Conditioner duo have really helped, and they are a joy to use." Beauty deal of the week Perfume fans will be keen to hear about a deal we have just spotted at Boots.

One delighted mother enthused: "My 18-year-old daughter started to lose her hair on top (and) no one could say why. But using these products has changed her life for the better. We've noticed a difference in the last couple of months." Not all feedback is glowing, however. One dissatisfied user noted: "So far, I am not convinced it helps. Shampoo makes my hair greasy and lank." But another person shared: "The Density Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner already seem to be working on my thinning, shedding hair. The scalp is less visible, and the hair looks healthy. I am delighted." And a different content customer added: "I noticed the difference after the first use. My hair looked noticeably thicker. Even other people noticed. I have since purchased more and will continue using it. I am really pleased with it and recommend it to anyone with fine hair." Those looking to rejuvenate their hair with more volume could consider these Philip Kingsley products.

A second loyal fan said: "The best perfume of all times! So classy! I'm glad it is back for it has been my signature perfume for more than a decade. Intense. Long lasting. Amazing. Complements galore!" While a third fan remarked: "I have been using this perfume for almost 20 years - even now I am still complimented on the scent. I don't know how to describe it really, but it's different to a lot of the overpowering floral scents that are popular at the moment, it's classy and I love it. My daughter loves it too!" Beauty deal of the week Beauty fans looking to get a golden glow will know the benefit of tanning drops. One bottle that has "blown away" shoppers is the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Face Drops - and they cost under £11 a bottle. Ideal for those who don't want to go through the hassle of using a tanning mitt to prevent patchiness or orange-tones, these "lightweight" drops can be easily mixed into your favourite moisturiser for a flawless glow. Since the drops offer a "buildable" bronzed look, many reviews have suggested that one of the positives is the ability to "control" the depth of their tan, unlike other products that deliver just one specific shade. Enriched with skin-loving ingredients hyaluronic acid and coconut water, these Garnier drops also work to keep your skin "intensely moisturised" day by day. Of course, with the reputation Garnier's Natural Bronzer Face Drops have earned, it's no surprise they have 4.2 rating based on over 2,000 reviews on Amazon alone, as shoppers call them a "little bottle of magic" for a "natural sun-kissed glow." One purchaser said: "Blown away! I'm not a phaffer. I generally don't bother with things like tan and bronzer. But this little bottle of magic changed all that! I love it! I pop it on with my moisturiser and a couple of hours later I am actually glowing! "I've been asked repeatedly if I've been on holiday, lost weight, got a new person, had a facelift or found a genie in a bottle. I'm so scared of running out I've stocked up!!" Shop the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Face Drops for £10.67 on Amazon here. As perfume preferences can differ, one shopper did find the scent a little "mature" for a younger audience. They said: "I purchased this perfume based solely on the reviews that I read here. I decided to give it a try. "Not the type of fragrance that I was looking for. I am 29, I believe that a more mature in age woman would appreciate this fragrance. Not what I was expecting." Nevertheless, another positive review read: "It smells really good and the perfume lasted for more than 24 hours." Shop Boots' half-price deal on the Givenchy Amarige Eau de Toilette (100ml) here.
