    Just had a bath in my lovely new Strawberry bubbles :D

    UU a mini S&G Flakeaway on my feet and hands. WNBA, didn't like the texture at all:(

    I also used my new BS Rainforest Shampoo & Conditioner in the hope that it would stop my red colour from fading so much. By the end of it I was sitting in pink water so I don't think its working out. The shampoo is weird cos it didn't lather. I only got mini size to try them out so we'll see I suppose.


    Thanks for the review I bought the shampoo & conditioner for my holiday bag, I think I need to try it 1st. SB did you find it very moisturising/hydrating for your coloured hair?

    Help me. Please tell me I don't need this, and it won't make me look amazing as per the advertising.

    Not sure I could dissuade you as that looks like a gorgeous product (just the packaging alone is beautiful). Am so glad that I don't work local to a Debenhams store.

    I have been successful (or a failure in the challenge!) with my Glamour mission today... lol.

    How many has everyone else bought, just out of interest? :D

    I've got three of them : 1 moisture surge, 1 dramatically different moisturiser and 1 eye cream.

    I only bought 1 glamour mag with the dramatically different moisturiser. I asked my mum to pick up a copy for me as I didn't have a chance to go. She went at noon and there was a single copy left in a large sainsbury's:eek: I wanted the moisture surge or the moisturiser as I have no moisturiser in the stash :j




    it does say 10 to collect...:rotfl:

    Went in our local Sainsburys tonight and they only had 4 copies with lipgloss, lipstick and 2 x scrubs on. Mind you they tend to stash the magazines all over the place but I didn't have the heart or time to look any more.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    My hair is just about dry now and it feels ok, bouncy and soft. The one I have is Rainforest Radiance.

    Ladies, before I post an update & reply properly, I have to repent by showering with my Anna Sui shower gel. I foresee the trouble I might be in :eek::eek:

    Hi everyone

    I'm feeling much better after a rubbish end of Feb. Kept myself occupied with ebaying a few things etc and trying to avoid QVC spending - and resisted the last two beauty TSV's and today's Elemis. :A
    Thanks to Macculloch29 and juliebuuny for you kinds words when I was feeling fed up with my hives returning - have now recovered but completely forgot about the Glomour mag:( bet there is none left now.

    Oh well, I'm in for this month. I am finding it hard to resist temptation especially when I really want to cheer myself up - ( also the biscuit barrel is empty). :D

    Oh dear there seems to be a Glamour magazine naughty step!

    I picked up the eye cream - which I wanted and that was good. Also picked up a dramatically different moisture lotion - mmm I have lots of rich cream in my stash. May give this to a friend to cheer them up. I picked up and put down ones with scrub or the moisture surge gel.

    Either way I gotta add £2 or £4 to my unplanned spends. Tricky though isn't it - as they are good value if you buy/like that stuff anyway.

    Just checked and mine is the moisture collection, will have a trial run as it will have to deal with sun & sea water.

    I got one Glamour magazine today with the dramatically different moisturisizing lotion. I have never tried Clinique before so for £2 I thought I better try it. I also want to find the moisture surge one but the 2 places where I looked only seemed to have the lipstick and the scrub cream.

    Apart from this, I am not planning on buying anything else this month.
