Annie's Review...
I’d been suffering from severe thinning at the crown of my head and attempted to use this product in 2023 when my hair was relaxed. I lacked in consistency however so didn’t see the benefits.
I made the decision at the end of 2023 to cut my hair and use the WeArePlantMade products properly. Below are photos of my results, plus my 6 month video diary of my experience with these products.
Natural Nail Growth - Mavala

In addition to the Mavala Nail hardener above, I did also use Mavala Nailactan Nail Cream for one of my toe nails as it had sustained some damage. It took just under a year but I’ve had great restoration.
Annie's Review...
I was previously a sucker for acrylic nails some years back however I noticed the significant damage having fake nails did. I met up with one of my close friends shortly after removing the acrylics and she had stunning natural nails. I asked her how she achieved this look and that’s when she shared the Mavala product with me.
I started using it a few times a week and over the months, my nails were becoming restored and looking so much better and yes those are my natural nails in the below image.
Years later, I still use this product. Now that my nails are strong and healthy, I only use it once every one to two weeks so as to not overdo the usage.
Because they always get a lot of attention, I decided to create a dedicated YouTube playlist regarding my nail growth journey which you can view here.
Il Makiage Foundation

Once you’re there, click ‘find my shade’ and complete the survey to be matched to your ideal foundation.
(Tip – I took the survey 3 times and picked the result that came up twice)
Annie's Review...
I hadn’t worn make up for over 15 years before I found and tried this company in 2023.
I’m generally not the biggest make-up fan. I just needed a nice foundation for a flawless natural finish that would suit everyday life (when needed) as well as occasions.
I did a Google search and found Il Makiage. They match you to a suitable foundation – from a survey! I was in disbelief yet the reviews were positive so I gave them a try and was not disappointed.
Below image is after applying their foundation. I’ve also done a Before and After review on this product that you can watch via my YouTube here.
Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions. Do your thing, and don't care if they like it.
If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint', then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.
Accept who you are and revel in it.
