Another best-selling item is the Lashful Eyelash Growth Serum, normally £48, which is 99.8% naturally derived and helps support lash fall-out and breakage.

Dawn said: "This feels so rich and luxurious. Surely I don't deserve to be using such a fabulous product. Oh wait - of course I do!! Brilliant product." Nicola commented: "This product, in my opinion, is like liquid gold. It is the most amazing potion : smooth, easy to apply and it works so well on my skin. It is truly magical and decadent." Laura simply posted: "I love this product I can really see a difference in my fine lines."
Sharron penned: "I've been very impressed with this product after two weeks of use. My skin appears more youthful and bright." However Carol wrote: "Feels ok but watery and thin, haven't used it long enough to see results," and noted she felt the price was a bit too high. Lucy added: "The best product I have ever owned in my life. People ask me daily do I have Botox. It's changed my skin and I'm so thankful I started to use it. I'm 33, shift worker with oily skin and my skin has finally started to not show the oil residue throughout the day. Miracle serum."
