Lipsense - pleasantly surprised
Was very hesitant to purchase but had seen all the vids of smear-free and long-lasting wear. Tried it (bella/bombshell/gloss) and was very pleasantly surprised. It does what it says and I've had no issues with it and amazingly it lasted as stated! Anyone else here use their stuff? (FYI - I am not a distributor, salesperson…

Noom lapsed subscription costs
I signed up to Noom in Feb 2019 on their £89 for 8 months plan. Having lapsed and deleted the app I forgot all about it as they send absolutely no communication whatsoever outside of their app (no emails at all). I think this is a deliberate attempt to allow consumers to forget completely about their subscription and…

Advice on dental mouth guards
Visited the dentist last week. Was advised to get a dental mouth guard due to medium to severe grinding. I am assuming that this is very necessary as there will be health and financial implications if I do not have the guard. Was informed that it was part of band 3 dental treatment which is £269.30. Is there any value in…

Teeth grinding, mouthguards and NHS charges
The NHS charge for a mouthguard - which I apparently need -is above two hundreds pounds. Is it worth it? Do they last? I’ve tried amazon ones and they haven’t helped. Thanks for any help.

Dental implants
I've decided after many years of having 4 missing teeth that i finally want to take the plunge and go for at least 3 implants this year. The 4th missing is right out the way from smiling so It doesn't bother me that much. I don't mind going abroad, I've already got a rough price of 1600 Euro from Portugal each. Of course…

Grey Reducer or Hair Lightener?
I'm Male, and just turned 50. My blonde hair is starting to go grey in patches. I may just let it go naturally grey, but what are the alternatives? I've looked at Control GX (they have a version for blonde Men), but will it just turn the grey and blonde to dark? Also I've looked at hair lighteners such as Sun In, or maybe…

Orthodontics via NHS referral or private
I have wanted for some years to get my teeth straightened but only now can afford to do so. My dentist is keen for me to try Invisalign, which she is qualified to do. I see her as an NHS patient but as it's classed as cosmetic treatment I would be paying for it privately. To be honest I am a bit sceptical as to whether…

Dental Advice
Following some dreadful experiences at the dentist as a child and adult I developed a real phobia of dentists and avoided them for about 25 years. Eventually I worked hard and overcame my fears with the help of hypnosis and attended the dentist two years ago. I was convinced I would end up needing full dentures, however…
