Question: What is the difference between a beauty pro and most women? Answer: great tools. So: good news for British women: Revlon Beauty Tools - the US’s bestselling range - has now landed in the UK. There are 12 products, delivering salon performance - and, to our minds, offering truly outstanding value. The terrific Lash Curlers, for instance, are just £5.99, while the easy-to-use Nail Scissors are £6.99. We’ve had great results from the Speed Buff Nail Shine Buffer, usually £2.99, which buffs away ridges, creates a glassy shine and is gentle enough to use every day.

Jo is particularly taken with the Diamond Grip Tweezers, normally £8.99, and the 10 x Magnifeye Tweezing Mirror, £7.99. As she says: ‘I’ve always found plucking my eyebrows challenging because they are blonde and fine, so I usually have them done professionally. These two Revlon tools have literally changed my life: the 10 x magnifying mirror lets me see exactly what I’m doing, and the tweezers grip amazingly well - even the downy hairs. My brows are positively Hepburn-esque!’

Although the company can’t make this promise in the UK (they’re working on it), Revlon offer a lifetime guarantee on these tools in the USA - which gives a real clue to the outstanding quality.

Revlon have very kindly promised us five sets of the entire range; in addition to all the tools listed above, you’ll also receive: Nail Clip and Toenail Clip (usually £4.99 each); Compact & Regular length Emery Boards (£2.99, including brilliant travel sizes); Compact Emeryl File (£2.99, made from a unique material that prevents nails splitting), Square Tip Tweezers (£7.99) and Slant Tip Compact Tweezers (£6.99).
