Denman paddle

Thanks, I have a Boots paddle brush which is wrecked but not that old do you think the Denman is a lot different and worth the extra?, I dont mind paying for quality.

Would also like to add to the list

Collection 2000 highlighter pen, works miracles on the darkness caused by bags under my eyes, even expensive ones didnt work this well:)

Are you guys listing your top beauty products or just the new ones your trying? I have a load of products I love but am always looking for new products and then find they are never as good as the old ones...but my 'can't throw it away' mentality means I'm often months from my old favorites!
So if it helps, here are my old favorites in case they are any use to anyone...

Shampoo/Conditioner:
Pureology SuperSmooth OR Aveda Damage Control.
Neither I can afford (I get them as gifts) neither I am using (I had a nasty reaction to something else and am using an aloe based S&C) I've tried Lush but found you need to use loads to get a great effect (though the effect really is great) so costs me too much to use Retread and Retreat are both my favourites in the range.

Cleanser: Soap and Glory 4-in-1
Eye Make-up Remover: Chanel, Lancôme, Clinique or Clinque.
Can't afford any atm so am using Boots No.7 but WOW is that bottle running out fast! Its a dupe for the above versions but really isn't lasting anywhere near as long as the above.
Spot Gel/cream: Good Things or Origins, both last for aaaages! I know I should bin the Origins version I use once a month on average as the pot is 4 years old..but it works well and I've 30% left so it's not going anywhere!

Toothpaste: Sensodyne Pronamel. Not found any other toothpaste to stop the pain and Colgate or Oral B both feel too painful when being used let alone afterwards!

Hairbrush: Tangle Teazer! Love these brushes! What I will say is you do need to replace them every few years as unlike natural boar brush bristles, they don't get better with age, but they are great brushes and I'd recommend them to anyone with more then a handful of hair!

Eye Liner: Bobbi Brown Gel-liner. I also love the pen liners and L'Oreal made good liners, the Bobbi Brown liners are the best though and will keep for longer if you fasten the lid tightly and store in the fridge.

Oral B 3D is amazing!! I noticed the difference within a week and now won't use anything else! Also doesn't taste as bad as the other whitening toothpastes on the market. Can't praise it enough!!!

I'm just listing stuff that works really well, old or new

Would also like to add

Freederm gel, nothing works on spots like this for me, also it reduced swelling virtually straight away when I had filler in my nose to mouth lines, a small tube lasts me about a year.

Aussie Shampoos and Conditioners are fab in my experience. Their 3 Minute Miracle masks work a treat too!

I can also vouch for GHDs being a worthwhile investment. Despite being pricey, I've had mine since 2007 and they're still going strong!

Ive always bought denman brushes, I prefer the paddle style to the classic though.
Ive got very thick hair, mine is pretty old (good few years) & perfect.
