Librow Serum: Final Results

Over three months ago I published an initial impressions post about the Lilash and Librow Demi Enhancing Serums (here). I have been using the Lilash serum up until the past month or so but I had to stop using it because I started getting a purple line the next morning after I applied the serum along my lash lines. I didn't experience any irritation or other negative effects while using the Lilash serum but I thought I should stop using it as I do have sensitive skin/eczema. 

I have been using the *Librow Demi Purified Eyebrow Serum (£52.50, 2.95ml) consistently for the past three months and in all honesty, I love it and I have noticed some pretty amazing results in the thickness, density and fullness of my brows overall. The serum is so quick and easy to apply, it is fuss free and it doesn't irritate my skin at all. 

Sorry for the no-makeup photos but I wanted to show the results of the serum alone. Both photographs on the left show my brows and lashes after using the Lilash and Librow serums for just over one month. Even then I did notice my lashes and brows were a little darker and stronger. Even thought I had to stop using the Lilash serum, I did notice positive results initially. 

The Librow serum worked so well, even after only one/two months. After three months my brows are thicker, fuller and darker; also the sparse areas are now filled in with new hairs especially the front of my brows on the bottom two photos. I am so impressed with the results with my brows, I don't have to use as much brow pencil now and I can easily get away with using the Benefit Gimme Brow on its own but I couldn't before! 

Overall, I am so happy with the results from the Librow serum, it has made my brows so much fuller - the photos above don't do the serum justice, as my brows look even fuller/denser in real life. I've nearly finished the Librow tube and I would definitely recommend it!

Have you tried the Lilash or Librow serum? What do you think of my results?

January Beauty Favourites

I can't believe we are already one month into 2015! Now it is time for my January beauty favourites! I haven't published a beauty favourites post for a while however you can check out my November/December favourites on Laura's blog which you can check out, here. I have a lot of favourites this month, from nail polish, brow serum and brushes to shampoo, foundation and cologne. 

Firstly, the makeup! I made a small order on Wilkinsons in December and three of the products I picked up are in my January favourites: the Maybelline Color Drama (Nude Perfection), Maybelline Color Tattoo (Creamy Beige) and the Essence Fixing Powder, the latter has been a favourite for months! 

Another makeup favourite is a re-discovery from 2011/2012, the Tweezerman Brow Mousse which I received in a kit as I am a Tweezerman ambassador; I am so glad I have it in my makeup collection again as it is the best brow gel out there! My final makeup favourite is a new purchase, the Burberry Fresh Glow Foundation (No.11 Porcelain) which has become one of my favourite foundations of all time; it is fantastic for normal/dry skin and leaves my skin looking plumped, radiant and glowing but not greasy.

My favourite makeup brushes this month have been the Crown Brushes SS019 which is an amazing powder brush and the second is the Crown Brushes SS021. Both of which are inexpensive and high quality as well as being cruelty free which is always a plus in my opinion.

I have only been using one nail polish all month and it has been the gorgeous RMK polish in the shade EX20 which is a beige grey shade and I LOVE it. It is very similar to Porchester Square from Nails Inc but it is matte. The longevity isn't great (I need to find a good matte top coat) but it's a lovely polish, not just because of the shade but the brush and the formula of the polish to apply as well. 

Now onto a kind of skincare favourite, the Librow eyebrow enhancing serum, yes, it does sound odd but I've been using it for a couple of months now and I am noticing a massive difference in terms of new hairs growing, sparse patches are being filled in and I don't need to use nearly as much brow powder - the full review will be live at the end of February. 

My penultimate favourite is a shampoo I won last year, the Kerastase Bain Satin 1 Shampoo - it's one of the best shampoos I have ever used. It makes so hair incredibly smooth, soft and manageable as well as less frizzy and so nourished. I cannot say enough good things about this shampoo; I will be buying a bottle when this one runs out. A similar shampoo is the Loreal Everriche and as Kerastate is owned by Loreal, we can assume that the products are going to be similar. 

Lastly, a fragrance favourite, this month it has to be the amazing The Library Of Fragrance Lavender Cologne which I was kindly sent a couple of months ago and I've been using it non-stop. I adore the scent of lavender so this fragrance was always going to be perfect for me! I've even been spraying it near my pillow at night to help me sleep as I find the scent of lavender to be so relaxing! I only have about 30% left, I will definitely be picking up another bottle or if you have any lavender fragrance recommendations please leave them in the comments below.

Initial Impressions: Lilash + Librow

I have been on the look out for an effective eyelash and or eyebrow product that claims to fortify and condition the lashes and brows for a while and the products I came across were quite expensive so when I noticed Lilash/Librow looking for bloggers, I was very excited. I have been using both the Lilash (for the lashes) and Librow (for the brows) on and off for the past couple of weeks; here are my initial impressions!

I have the *Lilash Demi Purified Eyelash Serum (£50.90) which is the smaller tube of the two available as it is 0.1fl oz (2.95ml). The lash serum claims to give you 'thick, eye-popping lashes in weeks'. I have a couple of press before and after shots using this product and the potential results look fantastic. The serum comes in a easy to use tube, which would be great for travel and it has a eyeliner type brush. The thin brush is great as it allows me to apply the serum very close to the upper and lower lash lines. The serum is clear and undetectable on the skin; and it doesn't irritate my skin. 

I also have the *Librow Demi Purified Eyebrow Serum (£50.90), again it is the smaller size and a large version is available to buy from the Lilash/Librow website, here. The Librow packaging is equally as compact, sleek and travel friendly as the Lilash serum. Also the brush for the brow serum is thin and small (just a bit thicker than the lash serum brush) so application is quick, easy and precise. It also doesn't irritate my skin, both serums dry quickly and they are not noticeable on the skin.  

Overall, I haven't noticed any results yet but I will report back in three months time. However, I do initially like using the products especially as they are so quick, easy and fuss free to use. The mirror is very handy too!
