No buying new toiletries etc until.....

Finished a spray deoderant today, replaced it with the one that's sat in the bathroom for the last two years. I think I'll move on to roll-ons once we've used up the 8 sprays left- they take up less room.

Nearly at the end of my wonderful Time Delay firming cream, now oop & it's the last in my stash. I wish they still made it!
Will probably use Boots Original cold cream that DH found in the 75% sale next.

well tonight I have used up my last superdrug choclate face mask..,... WIBA:j - DEFINATLY. I live on these and their Raspberry ones. But I will be good and wait until I see them on a 3 for 2 offer then stock up.

Also just finished a trial size dove firming body wash. WIBI :mad: - No in my opinion it makes the skin tooo slippery almost feels like it doesn't wash off properly. On the plus side it smelt gorgeous.

Am gonna have to be brave and use shaving gel and a normal razor cause i have loads of blades for that one and really can't justify spending the money on intuition ones till they have 1/3 off again. SOO if I end up with no skin on my legs/ under my arms its you guys to blame :A

I find it fairly innocuous, but the results of it are so good it would have to be yucky to make me not use it tbh.

I am so glad you like your hair. What make did you try and what colour? How long is your hair? I am in a bit of a quandry with my hair. I think it is my best feature and I have gone to the same lovely man for about 6 years now, every 5 weeks without fail for a cut and colour. He has never increased his price and he has become a really good friend to me. He really supported me when I lost my Mum ( he used to do her hair too). My ds, dd and dh all go to the same salon.
I have tried to cut down now by going every second pay day. I think my hair looks shocking at the moment because of my grey roots, which I don't normally ever give a chance to show through. For a start I would not know what colour to choose out of the wide array in the shops and also I don't know how to broach the subject with him. I really don't want to go to a college and let the students loose on it (gawd bless them all:D)

Evening girls!
Well, I used Excellence Creme by L'Oreal in 'Lightest Natural Blonde'. I have medium blonde hair naturally and get very light blonde foils done every 10-12 weeks. My hair is quite long, halfway down my back. I used a wide tooth comb to apply it, so it wouldn't look block colour IYSWIM? and I am really pleased with the result. I was worried it would go yellow but it's quite ashy blonde. I'm lucky enough to have good genes, no greys yet and my mum didn't have grey hair until she was nearly 50!
I had asked a girl that lives across the road who did her hair at a party at New Year, I've always admired it from afar, and she says she's been doing it herself with this stuff for years! I admit I was terrified at first but it looks really nice. Go for it!

In other news, I'm off to the gym with the dregs of an Original Mint Source shower gel in my gym bag. It shall be used and binned and I shall come home toned, clean and smug (well maybe the last two, I'll have to work on the first one!)

How does it always get included in the all time beauty lists that you see in magazines?

Hun dont you know? The lists in magazines are organised by PR people.

I used to know a girl works in fashion PR- Her job- to give out items from the range and "convince" mag writers to recommend/ show them.

Toietries and beauty absolutely no different. A one line recommendation in a magazine ( even a crap sunday paper NOTW type magazine) is worth millions, and this market is taken v v v v seriously.

Thing is whern you think of it what good is a recommendation- I can recommend the Toni & guy jamelia as it works for me, others hate it. At the end of the day, producers dont really care how much you like the product- especially compared to others, simply that you buy it.

I did well today, went to HBs and bought only
2 lots of theramed toothpaste ( OH is still plodding on with the arm and hammer bt this is too abrasive for me)
ONE solo conditioner- sunsilk large ( I do like this one) for 99p
And a mitchum deoderant to try for 99p as im trying to use up an asda one and OMG it burns like hell.
