  • Bastise? Do you have dark hair? They've just launched a version for brunettes so that might be better for you.

    Hi all! Just a quick update... since writing my list I've used up:

    1 Mudd face mask
    1 Boots Ingredients shower gel
    1 L'Oreal Studio Line Hot Volume hair mousse
    i Botanics toner

    I replaced the toner and hair mousse, so doing well! :)

    Yes thats it, knew it was something like that ;)

    I'll have to look out for that then as i didnt know they make it for different coloured hair. Thanks :D

  • Hi ladies

    I'll join you if that OK? I'll just be dropping in from time to time as I'm at uni and trying to devote every second to doing my assignments :rolleyes: However, I've given myself a 5 min break to read up on what you've been doing. I think I came across this thread last January or maybe before that? I've been doing it myself for a year anyway. I think I have enough moisteriser to last me until 2015 :o I will have to buy some things, like shampoo and conditioner, but I will not buy anything that I already have in stock.
    I'm doing quite well at the moment, ive decided to give a big Sancutary box i had at christmas to my friend as its her birthday in February, so that saves me about £10 buying a gift and to be honest i dont think ill ever use the products but she will ;)

    I'm going to do the same. Was it the big one that was the Boots OOTW? I bought the 3-for-2 and gave them out as Christmas/Birthday presents and recieved one as well. I also got a smaller travel one which I'll keep.

    Look forward to 'speaking' to you all

    Hi, I just noticed the question about dry shampoo. I use Batiste, but my hair is strawberry blonde (so quite fair) and while I have to brush it through really well, it isn't a major problem if I miss brushing a bit through becuse it doesn't really show up. I am not sure how it works with with dark hair... It is my miracle product though!

    PS I am still new at this and haven't quite figured out how to put quotes in my messages, but my message above was in response to a question from Jewelleryfan!

    I'm not sure as i dont tend to shop with Boots that much :eek::rotfl:

    Its a large orange flowery box with lots of full size bits, quite heavy! I think it was £20 down to £10. I also saw a smaller version of it that was £10 down to £5.

    If i didnt have all my other bits i would probably keep it, but i really wont use it :o

    Thanks im going to look out for the darker version for my hair.

    If you go to the post you want to quote, there is a button next to the "thanks" that says "quote". If you press that it will take you to the bit where you can write. Just start writting below that message and then submit reply. That should work, i hope! ;)

    Well I just used up a tube of veet (bathroom now STINKS of the stuff), a dermalogica cleanser and exfoliator and a sanctuary shower oil. Decided to start using a Vivienne Westwood body lotion- smeared myself in it and it's got blinkin glitter in it so I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go!!

    Just been cleaning lounge and realised the bloody body lotion I used last night has left a prurple mark allover my leather sofa ggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr just had to give it a good scrub.

    Still not written the list- think it'll be a night time job!

    Batiste i use for dry shampoo - they do a brunette version now too but ive never tried it. life saving stuff though!

    im half way through a shower gel. lent it to my OH and a fair old amount was used !! *mental note: never lend soap and glory to him*

    Been using the decanted hand creams more often because they are handy and i dont seem to squeeze out loads and hate the greasy feel (they are in mini pots now) so use less but more often.

    Could be decanting a half empty pot of moisturiser too. That'd be Sayonara to another container! - ETA: ok I did decant into the "mini pots for camping" but decided to keep the container as it is split in half and would be ideal for me when I go on a 2 week holiday. So the container stays but in an empty form. Thank god the camping mini pots were all empty. It's psychologically making me feel better.
