My Review of the Cowshed Advent Calendar

I absolutely love this advent calendar because it really does offer up such a good mix of the different types of products that Cowshed has to offer.

You have skincare sorted with a cleanser, day and night cream and an eye balm. Plus, you have a lovely range of products for bath and shower, including hair.

It delivers everything you’d need for any overnight stay, along with the luxury of a travel candles too!

Plus, the design is super chic. I absolutely love that it comes in a handwoven wicker hamper. It makes it feel so special, and it means you can reuse endlessly!

I love the Cowshed shower gels and body lotions. The Active scent is so reviving and ideal to really get you going in the morning and set up for the day.

There’s a total of four candles in this hamper, and one of them is in a full size in the Warming scent which is beyond perfect for getting you into the festive spirit. With notes of Cinnamon, Juniper and Pine, it is the perfect candle to take you right through all the festivities.

Stay tuned for this year’s unboxing video!

Sweed Beauty Eyelash Growth Serum Review

For the last few weeks I have been rather haphazardly testing the Sweed Beauty Eyelash Growth Serum and I have to say, I am impressed! Here’s what you need to know.

What is Sweed Eyelash Growth Serum?

Eyelash serum that helps to extend the growth phase of each lash
Works to leave lashes looking longer, stronger and healthier
Typically provides results in four to six weeks
Formulated with a blends of ingredients to support lash growth
Does not contain any prostaglandin
Ideal for use before bed

Key Ingredients

Pumpkin seed extract – to condition and nourish the lashes

Biotin – to improve lash health and strength

Panthenol – to help strengthen lashes

Hyaluronic acid – to nourish and hydrate

Myristoyl pentapeptide-17 – to enhance lash length, thickness and fullness

Keratin – helps to improve the health of the eyelashes.

How to use it

The Sweed Eyelash Growth Serum is really easy to use. It has a lovely fine brush that is easy to swipe along the lash roots.

At night (when I remember!), I apply along the upper lash line after cleansing and then let it dry for a minute or two before doing my skincare.

You can also use it on brows but I haven’t tried that yet.

My Review of Sweed Eyelash Growth Serum

Review: Sweed Beauty Eyelash Growth Serum

So I have been using this for a few weeks, and I haven’t remembered to do it every single night, but I still think that it has made my lashes grow! Every time I apply my mascara, I need less product to get my lashes looking long and fluttery, and they really do look super fluttery!

This is one of those weird ‘looking up’ photos to demonstrate the length of my lashes after a few weeks of use:

I think lashes always look longer if you do this, so I will share some more comparison pics later down this post, both with and without mascara, but I have to say, I am very impressed.

I met the Sweed Beauty founder Gabriella a couple of months back, and she said it works really quickly. However, I didn’t expect it to be quite that fast especially as I haven’t been using it quite a religiously as I should have.

I literally just paint it along my lash line at night after cleansing, and then let it do its stuff. It doesn’t sting or irritate my eyes like some lash serums have in the past. It just seems to work!

Before and After Photos

So for complete transparency, I didn’t actually take any before photos as this has been an extremely casual trial!! However, because I am constantly reviewing products and taking before and after photos, I do have lots of photos of my bare lashes. Here is one:

Sweed Beauty Eyelash Growth Serum - before no mascara — Before – no mascara

The above photo is from my Monika Blunder Beauty Architect Eyes Buildable Mascara Review.

And here is a photo of my bare lashes today, after a few weeks of using (I say ‘few’ as I’m not exactly sure how long, and I haven’t remembered every night!):

Sweed Beauty Eyelash Growth Serum - after no mascara — After – No mascara

Now, my lashes don’t ever look like much without mascara anyway, so here’s a photo from the same Monika Blunder Beauty Architect Eyes Buildable Mascara Review, with a light coat of mascara.

Sweed Beauty Eyelash Growth Serum - before with mascara — Before with mascara

And here are my lashes today, with the same Monika Blunder mascara, and probably a lot less of it:

Sweed Beauty Eyelash Growth Serum - after with mascara — After with mascara

I think you can really see how my longer, stronger and healthier the lashes look. What do you think?

I am definitely going to continue using this (when I remember) and see where I get!
