Fingers crossed for DS tomorrow Rosemary.
UU a hair dye yesterday, it was a brown shade although the colour has turned out a copper colour.
It does look nice although looked scary when I was blow drying it.0 -
Only 1 small UU for me:
Sample of Olay Total Effects Wake up Wonder. WIBA? No – it was fine, but didn’t moisturise quite as much as I’d like, and just wasn’t anything special.
Also one purchase – this is a little naughty
After reading Jacks’ review, I decided I wanted to try Philip Kingsley Elasticizer! And I didn’t just get sample sachets, I bought a tub for £20.99 :rotfl:
Well, all the reviews I could find were pretty good, and I’m quite precious about my hair :P
It arrived on Saturday morning, and I used it both Saturday and Sunday (just to start with, I will only use it twice a week…). Results so far? I think there is an improvement actually! There is no dramatic change (though as a friend said when I showed it to her – ‘why do you need that, your hair’s really good?!’ – I don’t think it’s quite good enough…). But – when drying naturally over the weekend, my hair did get a lot less frizzy, and generally seemed a lot calmer than it normally would. Now I can make my hair look great with a hairdryer and ghd’s, but what I really want is hair that I can just wash and leave to dry, and it looks thick and glossy – and leave the heat tools for when I want a particular style! So far, I’m cautiously optimistic this might help… And I’m very impressed how little is needed, it coats the hair really well!
Give it a couple of weeks and I’ll let you know0 -

Rosemary - hope all goes well xx
I was SO good today - hope you lot are VERY proud of me.... I took my mum to town this morning so she could go to the opticians, and went for a wander.
First stop health food shop where i bought a vitamin E oil to try instead of moisturiser (which i have one more fingerful in,so allowed).
then went in BS - tried lots of creams and smells, but didnt buy,despite them having the lemon one that i loved still (and lots of Love Inc which i adore!!!)
then went to HMV and bought a CD - not so good for my finances, but as im almost certain that i have an interview in the next few weeks, i reckon i deserve a treat !!
Followed up with a trip to Beales, had a look at the Benefit stand, but didnt buy.... (and no SA either, so ddint even get any samples (boo)
then I went into Boots. Got a few vouchers,thinking that I might save - but went to investigate everything.... and walked out again without buying anything !!!!
then Wilkinsons for some halloween things to do fancy dress for my horse.
GO ME !!!!
well done everyone!!Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0 -
well done all on your willpower!! you definitely all deserve a (non toiletry) treat! :Tthanks so much roshydoshy - sounds fab - might give it a go.
