REVIEWS

I've tried an awful lot of eye creams and treatments over the years including instant eye lift serums - but this one is different.

Retailing at under £10, this small pot goes a long way and, in my experience, delivered a noticeable result in just under a week.

I've currently been using the cream for about a month and still have plenty of the product left in the jar.

What the brand says about the cream... Revolution claims the cream hydrates and reenergises delicate skin around the eyes. It says the product brightens and firms the skin for a more youthful appearance in four weeks.

What I noticed:

New from Revolution Pro and trending

Like most modern miracles, there is always a drawback. For me, the only issue with this eye cream is that it is not really suitable for wearing under make-up. That is because it can 'pill' . However, it is perfect for night-time use or on days when you don't wear foundation.

The best thing about this product is its price just £8.

Because of its popularity, it often sells out and you may have to add your name to a wait list on Revolution's website. The way around this, I have found, is to buy a couple of jars at a time.

The cream is so good, I panic if I forget to apply it.

A spa bar was the last thing on my mind when I recently oversaw the revamping of my bathroom. But... the XcE bathtub caddy tray happened to be on offer when I was searching for bathroom shelving.

What drew me to the product was its smart design and natural bamboo materials. It comes with two removable side trays and a fabric tablet/book stand. There's also space for a mobile phone.

Extendable, this product is designed to fit most baths. It came fully assembled and was in place in about a minute.

I was worried it would slide away from the bathtub sides and slip into water. However, it grips very firmly and has proven to be a sturdy place to store all the things I want to hand - from shampoo and conditioner to a soap dispenser.

The bathroom cady with the WOW factor

Of course, the urge was always going to be there to give it the full spa look - so I've added a mini waterwall ornament, candle and some cheap flower arrangements bought in Poundland.

It looks absolutely fab and makes reaching for things while I'm in the bath so much easier. If I'm using the shower, which is over my bath, I simply move the spa bar out of the way.

The only drawback - and it's a big one - has been lying down in the bath to rinse my hair. There isn't quite enough legroom. I've contorted myself into some really weird shapes to try and achieve the impossible.

It gets my vote purely for its sleek aesthetics.

UCANBEUCANBE

This make-up set by UCanBe retailed at more than £50 when it was launched. It eventually settled at £19.99 - but soon sold out.

I managed to get my hands on one just before UK stocks ran low. Attracted by the sheer range of products inside the goldcoloured case, I literally could not wait to give them a try.

Pros and Cons

I have got to say straight up, the case is plastic - and it feels like it too. However, when you open it up... What a glorious sight to behold.

Since getting the kit, I've used the blusher, bronzer and highlighter every day.

A case full of quality make-up essentials

The eyeshadow is easy to apply and just as good as much more expensive brands. While there is some fallout on the glitters, it's mostly during application.

I rate the lip colours but have yet to try the brow products. The brushes are a useful addition to the kit but, for pro looks, you will need more. Purchased from Amazon.
