I'm rather aware that I'm knocking on a bit now, what with being the grand old age of 33. In addition, I'm a mother, wife and teacher. All of these things can lead to frowns occuring on a daily, possibly even hourly, basis! I've discovered that pushing my skin back down and trying to smooth down my eyebrow furrows doesn't really work, which I think is a bit inconsiderate.
So when I was approached to review the brand new NIP + FAB Frown Fix, I metaphorically bit the hand off of the kind soul offering. You may have seen NIP + FAB in the beauty pages of the national newspapers and glossy magazines. If you haven't then you've not been paying attention properly. The range of products is amazing, including a Tummy Fix and a Cellulite Fix, and is coveted by many a celebrity from Alexandra Burke through to Jennifer Aniston. To top it all off, they are launching the Frown Fix as we 'speak' so I feel a little bit special in having the opportunity to review it!
The Frown Fix which I have to try comes in a neat little tube, similar in size to a mascara so it can fit nicely in your make-up kit. One end opens up to show a little brush, the other twists to push the formula up. The description on the box says 'Frown fix is a concentrated formular designed to plump and smooth the appearance of expression lines, fine lines and wrinkles.' And hopefully my furrows caused by people who stress me out!
I followed the instructions to 'brush directly onto clean skin to target expression lines around eyes, forehead and mouth', although I didn't need it around the mouth (clearly I don't smile enough!). It is incredibly smooth, doesn't sting or feel tight (or any other unpleasant sensation) and just gently works subtly. The research indicates that 'the effects are instant (within a couple of minutes), but everyday use also results in a cumulative effect so lines become permanently more visible. Clinical tests on the active ingredient has shown a reduction in wrinkles of up to 50% over a 60 day period.'
I'd call it botox in a tube, but that sounds derogatory to Frown Fix as it doesn't render you incapable of showing expression. Don't even think of it as polyfilla. Consider it a magic wand to indicate that you are a young and carefree woman! It could just be your new BFF!
I am giving FIVE of you lucky individuals the chance to win a NIP + FAB Frown Fix (which retail for £10.25 each in Boots and Harvey Nichols don'cha know).

Thanks for this! Have followed on Twitter and tweeted. I've go a frown line between my eyebrows from making my 'concentrating face'. Now I've started blogging a bit more regularly and reading so many great blogs, it's got really deep! I would use the frown fix on that!
I'm entering. Just turned 30 and reeling from it…..!
I shall be using it right in between my eyebrows, where years of frowning has caused a crease that my mean boy cousins lovingly referred to throughout my teens as my "Zambezi gorge" (a phrased coined while on holiday in Zimbabwe…. they tortured me!!!!!!)
Thanks for the chance! x

I'll use this Fab product on my laughter lines – as I get older, they get deeper – but it won't stop me from laughing!
Sorry – forgot to say I've tweeted @feefeegabor (am Fee Edwards MSE on Facebook).
I've tweeted @GAarcade. I'll be using this to hopefully get rid of my lines around my mouth before I get married in December then hopefully I'll be smiling and laughing so much that day, that I can then use your product to get rid of those lines :-))
I am a fan on facebook & I shall be using the Nip+Fab for laughter lines as my philosophy in life is 'if you see someone without a smile give them yours' & as I'm disabled my only form of exercise is laughtercise which is great fun, it's like jogging on the inside 🙂
Well I will definitely use it. I have two frown lines between my eyebrows caused but my lovely son who was a wee terror when he was younger. Needless to say he is now older and not a terror anymore but poor me has been left with my hideous frown lines

Thank you 🙂
Frown lines! I went through a rough few years where people didn't except me for who I was. They gave me the frown lines that I want to cover up and forget about. I'd never want to cover up my laughter lines. They show my character and they remind me of the good times!

Have tweeted – @bloomingfox
Laugh Lines, my husband keeps me in stitches so I have a few! Have liked on Facebook and twitter @nikkiopia, also have tweeted!
Going to go for the frown lines I think – the laughter lines just show that I try to be a generally smiley person 😉 Both lots of lines are contributed to by my 2 toddlers and dear husband – but that's life!
@mselts on twitter
Have a little go at both lots of lines I think, the frown lines have definitely been brought about by the pressures of coping with redundancies and money worries, lets hope it's sorted out soon.
@ossiesheep on Twitter.
