No Buying Toiletries in December Challenge

My first UUs of the month:

UU Philip Kingsley Elasticizer WIBA? Oh my god YES! I think I can wait to see if QVC or the beauty websites do a January special offer on the 100ml size but this is a staple for me with all the dyeing and drying I do so I won't want to be without it for long. This cost me about £50 and lasted me well over two years using it twice a month. I really feel as though I got my money's worth.

UU Toni and Guy Jamelia Shampoo WIBA? I would! I'm not sure you can get it any more and it doesn't have the integrity of ingredients I like in my haircare really, but my hair certainly liked it. Big Thumbs up. :T It cost 99p for 250ml in Savers.

Oooh, if you do find any good offers in Jan (or any other time!) for the Easticizer, please let us know - I love this now and will need to buy some more in the next month or so.

Ooooh, I like the sound of Elasticizer!!!! Just what my hair needs (it gets so dry, esp. in winter). Should I buy a 20ml pot for £3 to try it out?

Not everyone loves it cherub, so I'd definitely recommend trying a sample size first because it's a good value product, but it's not cheap.

I was a bit peeved that I couldn't find matching conditioners for my model me shampoos but having seen that you are torturing yourself with yours I don't feel so bad now! Don't you just hate using something up that you just don't like? :mad::D

Will do chick. I'm slightly panicking about what I'll do without it until I find a bargainous offer. :eek::o

That's settled it then, I've found a 20ml pot for £2.97 plus 8% cashback, so effectively £2.73! Will give it a go and see what I think of it.

p.s. there's a site selling 1 litre of Elasticizer for £58 plus 8% cashback (cashback would work out at (£4.64) if that helps you?

And yes, I do hate using up something I don't like!!!! :rotfl:

Thanks for the tip, I have blonde hair and am forever searching for the perfect shampoo. Will try it out, perhaps with my Boots £2 voucher (think JF is 2for£6 now or soon too, so would work out at £2 each)



I have a Model Me conditioner (Erin/Helena, can't remember which) and it is a bit rubbish. I only persist with it because of this challenge (I bought it in Semi Chem for about £1.49) but can't bear to use it more than once a week. Gah! Bet it lasts ages too. :rotfl:

Never tried this Elasticizer stuff, must google it :whistle:

No, you mustn't....step away from the 'puter Tara - we know what you're like!





Darn it, too late!

Went to the loo this morning and when I was washing my hands I noticed a massive spot on my chin! Nice . Skin is feeling really dry and sorry for itself today so am going to put some night cream on now and then some more serum before work. The cold and the CH play havoc don't they? I have also woken up with blood all over my fingers and hands. I appear to have been attacked by paper before I went to bed. I expect my hands were so cold from scraping the car that I couldn't feel it- eep!
Must go and moisturise my hands too now, they're sore.
Tara, what're you like? This is why you left in the first place I bet, keeping on adding to stash. Tut Tut. Now go and do your lines!
