WelshWoofer

Use Up Alert!!!
A bottle of Radox bubble bath (the cream coloured one). WIBA - Nice enough but nothing special
Being replaced by a green Radox BB from the cupboard - the last BB in the stash.:j

Nothing else to report until at least the weekend - probably longer.

I would love to know which of the larger brands (eg. supermarket rather than space nk) gave best ''specialness'' value. and which of the very cheapest brands were worth using/missing.

edit: I'm guessing a nice bar of soap probably wins on value for money.

Hi everyone,

Not bought anything but I have finished off a Radox bubble bath. I ran out a few days ago and have resorted to using OH's Lynx shower gel to make the bath bubbly A bath just isn't right without bubbles and I hate just layng in plain water!!

Today I have binned 2 lip glosses and a lipstick and 1 M&S hand cream that was looking a bit dodgy. It's not that good anyway and it's non perfumed to make it even more boring

Just waiting for OH to get out of the bath (he's only just got in but it's late and I've got emulsion in my hair and all over my face and shoulders) so I can get in and waste some more shower gel

I'm falling out with my epilator atm :mad: For some reason there are hairs on my legs 2-3 days after epilating. Not loads but enough for me to need to go over them again. But last night I did have another go at my bikini line with it and it's a lot more bearable Still can't use it under my arms though, the pain is really bad and I'd rather roll in nettles than try it again... for now at least

Hi all

Soooo busy at work so no time to read through and catch up atm, but just reporting a use up: Body Shop Vitamin E moisture lotion (tube). I cut it open and got an extra 4 days out of it!!! It is lovely stuff, very soothing and rich but not greasy. I'll put £10 in the pot for it even though I got it as part of a glitch so it cost me about £3!! WIBA: only as part of a mega glitch, because I've started on the Boots Vit E lotion and it's just as good and 2 for £4. :beer:

Catch y'all later xo

Morning girls -

Following on from my projected UU lol I did finish - hair dye WIBA a dye is a dye is a dye, this colour is a very dark brown with (not noticed on the photo in the box) a vivid red colour underneath - think this could be lingering from my last hair colour although i did think red was supposed to fade quickly :rotfl: and i feel a bit washed out with the darkness of it but i guess that's just until it washes out slightly/i get used to it
The moringa shower gel is never ending, a couple of inches seemed to miraculously appear whilst i was at work (I must have been imagining it was nearly on it's last legs lol)

I also never opened anything new last night as my bath seems to have stopped running hot water :mad: plumber said there was nothing wrong with it - i think the tap tops have lost their threading beneath the mixer tap IYSWIM?? Will have to have a proper look over the weekend as Daddy can be a bit useless at that sort of thing (he prefers showers so he thinks having no bath isnt a necessity! men!:rotfl:)

sooooooo once that gets sorted i can start proper pampering, not tonight but probably tomorrow - is it just me or does anyone else prefer a bath and shower head rather than a normal shower for things like body scrubs, exfoliation, shaving etc ! lol

rant over have a good day girlies xx

I used my Nivea Visage Extra Gentle Care cleanser for the first time last night and I can't BELIEVE how much more make-up it took off than the Simple one I've just finished. How much carp must have been floating round on my skin while I was using?! :eek: (OK, so I used other facebashes in the shower, so hopefully it would have been removed by them, but that's still a scary thought.)

Hello everyone - have thrown a clear nail varnish in the bin this morning - didn't finish it though, it had just gone solid! Still, there wasn't much left. Also finished a box of herbal tea!

Re the legs... Sometimes it's a case of letting the hair grow to the same length - you could try waiting for (if you're really keen) 3 weeks and then ep. I find that brings it all in line timewise again! The underarms thing used to get me too - now it's a walk in the park and doesn't hurt at all. If you're up for the convenience of epping I'd definitely say keep slowly continuing. I found it was worth it in the end!

You could try using a cleansing shampoo to wash the colour out more quickly than a 'for coloured hair' shampoo would. Use a really good conditioner though if your hair needs some care.

No UUs yet... getting close to some though! :cool: be back later to catch up

Robin hood was actually OK if a bit cheesey and R.C looked quite fit when he took his kit off:) storyline was rather different from the usual one.Don't think OH cared as he just wanted to lust after Cate B!!!!

using a new Nina Ricci perfume from half price perfumes(? name but its smells of almonds?belle)wIBA...no it does not last at all,unlike Opium which still lingers on the scarf I wore last night from God knows how long ago(keep forgetting to wash it off)

off to see Marriage of Figaro tonight for OHs birthday treat,have also bought him a mens package ...facial/massage which he should enjoy.
DS home tomorrow from uni so lots more cooking/washing etc to do

Thanks, i think it's just me moaning! Next week I'll be complaining that it's just not dark enough :rotfl: - i'm in a fairly foul mood this week - the days are dragging for me, please ignore my little rants! lol i know i shouldn't but if i type it out on here then i stop blowing up on people in the office/friends/at home. I don't tend to get stressed (so laid back) but this week has been one thing after another and i can't really handle it!! but it's theraputic letting it out in one way - the people at my bank's call centre and internet shopping sites have been bearing the brunt of my anger this week! Sooooo in a roundabout way i'm trying to say is that i'm sorry for clogging up this page and I shall be back to normal soon xx
