Lacura - Renovage - Rejuvenating Night Cream


This is a really thick night cream that works well in colder weather, especially thanks to the shea butter.
This may be too heavy to use in summer.

The scent is quite clinical, but not overpowering.

It claims to contain apple stem cells, but I don't think this has any effect, I wasn't wowed by this product.

A little of this goes a long way.
This was a good buy from Aldi :)

Price: 3/5 ($19.99 for 50mL)
Scent: 2/5
Effectiveness: 4/5

Model Co - Lash & Brow - Growth Stimulator



Yep, another brow growing attempt! But this time, I am the guinea pig XD

The instructions are to apply it once nightly for 28 days. 
So here are the before and after shots:



As I used it, I felt my brows looked better and thought they were growing. 
But looking at the photos, I can't see any significant difference.
The benefits I perceived were most likely from the serum lining my eyebrow hair up and making them a little darker/thicker because they had the serum on them.

I liked how the serum was translucent, it make it look like it contained more (as opposed to the Lacura version which was clear).



It had a spicy/clinical smell, which was faint.

I really liked the packaging, a sleek silver bullet with a good weight to it.

But at the end of the day, it didn't work.
You would get the same benefit from buying a (no-doubt cheaper) lash gel.


Price: 2/5 ($24.oo for 7 mL)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 1/5

Lacura - Organic Argan Oil For Nourishment Night Cream

Yay cruddy photo!

Another Aldi product!

This is a very heavy cream. I started using it in the summer and that was a bad idea. 
It was so heavy on my skin it made me sweat.
So if you want to use this, use it in winter!

It has a clean, kind of clinical, slightly nutty scent.
It really didn't absorb well, it felt almost more like a barrier cream than a moisturiser.

The packaging is nice though, it feels sturdy and has a cool 'double wall' look.

Price: 5/5 ($8-ish for 50mL)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 1/5
