Have used up some more of my tube of face mask, but still have loads to go.

Am a few squirts away from the end of a bottle of perfume, but it's really hard to get out!

C'mon, soooo near the end...I want to throw something else in the recycle bin!

I'm coming to the end of one of my perfumes too and finding it really hard to keep getting it to come out properly. I so want to just throw the bottle away but there is a bit too much left in the bottom to justify doing this. Anyone any tips for helping me finish the bottle?

I have no more deep conditioning treatments or hair oils or coconut oil. I did have a look today but the choice was daling and I wanted to get two different ones, so decided not in the spirit of the thread and put both back. I use normal conditioner to wash hair with, and also as a leave in conditioner often.....and have long very curly hair than is fine but prone to frizz. Any ideas if I give in which ONE to try? (The best thing ever was kelp help, now discontinued by John Frieda, and I quit like the little yellow tubes produced by L'oreal, can't remeber product name though).

Lostinrates, I also have long, curly, fine hair prone to become frizzy. I use john Frieda's weather works by frizz ease which I think is brilliant. I just use the schampoo and then after towel drying my hair I use their weather proofing protection climat style sealant creme. This stops my hair to become frizzy. A few months ago I stopped blow drying my hair and this has made my hair less frizzy as well.

Good luck in finding the right product for you for as little money as possible.

Hey Essex Heb, a few posts back (like hundreds) you said about Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Have you tried faith in nature shampoo - it's available in health food shops and Oxfam often sell it. Not cheap but you do get chemical free bubbles.
Naughty chemical bubbleswhich upset my loved one's psoriosis (sorry spelling...)

Not been here again cos of PC...though it made me miss reading about your trips to Boots. Well done to everyone who resisted. Well done to those who only bought gifts for OTHER PEOPLE (!). Tut to those who bought stuff they didnt need. But tomorrow is another day.

So I used up:
- Decleor bath oil - gorgeous smell. Sadly it was opened for too long and I used it for one bath and noticed it was no longer fresh. Buy again, yes for the smell. Likelihood of buying quite low, as I bought it as an outlet.
- face scrub - sadly not used up but on its way to charity or sis. It was ghastly cheap make from a beauty suppliers shop.
- little bottle of Pecksniffs perfume. A floral one. It was ok. Didnt seem to last.

I found more stash:
- a half used bottle of vitamin e sun cream (body shop). Think its been open a while so will use up on my neck/elbows that sort of thing.
- 2 half used body scrubs.
- 2 more Nivea shower gels.

As well as paint nail night (which sadly I can't take part in), shall we have a fake tan night? Or a leave a hair conditioner in all night night while on here?

I slipped today... I bought a certain female product with came with a free lip gloss. It's a brand I buy anyway. But being as I have loads of lipglosses I will give it as a pressie (all new and wrapped up still) to my neighbour. I did pick up (and put down) a tub of Nivea soft. I have SO SO many moisturisers to use up before I can buy a tube or tub of that.

Anyone noticing (a) they have a few more bob in their pockets and (b) a bit of space in cupboards/drawers etc? Great isn't it? :A

The first body scrub I used was the Planet Spa brown sugar one and I really liked it. Not sure if it was because it was the first one I used but the couple I've used since just don't seem to feel the same. I have a couple more left to use up but would probably buy this again when I needed to.

Thanks for that Lynsey - I'm really looking forward to trying that one but the sanctuary one I'm using at the moment has to be used up first!

Hi girlies :wave:

That's me back from Fuertaventura. It was fab, around 30 degrees every day. I have to confess that I was bad and bought some expensive sun cream I also bought some Benefit cosmetics at the Airport but I gave DD the lip gloss. But I'm back on track Is everyone else behaving themselves?

welcome back SSL - glad you had fun! You can be excused the sun cream for definite - that's an essential!

As for behaving ourselves....why of course! :A *hopes SSL doesn't read back a few pages!*

Hi skintscotslass and welcome back! Yes, we have all been good girls and not bought anything toiletry-related whatsoever!!! We haven't been near Boots, the Body Shop, Avon or Superdrug at all!
