    I've very fine but greasy hair with a very very sensitive scalp, that I've been trying to train so I don't have to wash it every day. I had got to three days (wash day 1, batiste day 2, pony tail day 3) but hair too short now so I'm back to washing on alternate days and batisting the inbetween day:eek:

    I'd love to be able to train my hair to do this. I hate the feeling when I haven't washed my hair that day. It always looks really greasy and when I use dry shampoo it only seems to take the edge off it, looks ok to pop to shops but not to go to work/meet friends etc. :( I must be doing something wrong!

    Debenhams have sent me an email for a £5 reward on my Beauty Club Card which 'must' be spent before 14th May. Considering I have another £10 in rewards on there, plus I got a fairly hefty tax rebate, plus I start my new job tomorrow, I need reasons to not think, "Woo hoo, Touche Eclat for a tenner!" The creaking noise you can hear is my willpower being tested...
    I just got that too,there is a Clinique offer spend £25 and get a gwp,I want the new tinted moisturizer so may well ahve to be naughty tomorrow as off to town to be naughty with clothes so will now be twice as bad:rotfl:

    Oh dear - I've fallen off the wagon big style today :(:( Budge up on the naughty step ;)

    Using the examples given previously, I had worked out that I have three - yes THREE YEARS worth of shampoo in the bathroom to use up so why I felt I absolutley had to buy a Tigi superstar shampoo AND and an OS teatree and mint one too today I've no idea:o:o I only needed a boots expert redness relief serum as I ran out this morning.

    Incidently they seem to have stopped doing the boots expert redness relief serum and now call it boots simply sensitive redness relief serum http://www.boots.com/en/Boots-Simply-Sensitive-Anti-Redness-Serum-30ml_1189245/ (anyway I got it and apart from being in a smaller container for the same price it seems to be the same stuff :p)

    So whilst I seem to be able to avoid body lotions, moisturisers etc whilst out and about it seems that shampoo is still a problem:eek:

    It doesn't help that I went to the hairdressers on saturday and insisted that she cut all my hair off - so I now have a very short layered bob. I've very fine but greasy hair with a very very sensitive scalp, that I've been trying to train so I don't have to wash it every day. I had got to three days (wash day 1, batiste day 2, pony tail day 3) but hair too short now so I'm back to washing on alternate days and batisting the inbetween day:eek:

    Anyone know it there's an offer on Batiste anywhere - I'm going through it like it's going out of fashion here!!!!:D

    Anyways the suns still out and I've just heard DH come in from work so I'm off to grab the sun lounger before he does;) I'll update my sig later :j

    Ah but you have done very well really - I also have itchy sensitive scalp and have found that the Tigi Superstar shampoo is brilliant for it. And it sells lovely too!

    Ooh - I can't wait to try it now - thats another bottle open in the bathroom:o although the others will probably go the way of the AB green apple shampoo that is being used up as hand foam (in the recycled sublime mousse bottle:D)

    Ohhh.... S&G bundle looks good...
    I am tempted to cancel my asos order for clean mary and order that... not sure if I can justify the additional £24... but then it's not much per product since I'm spending £6 on the clean mary anyway... hmm... and I already have the fab pore mask... decisions....

    I do actually 'need' the clean mary though, I'm nearly out :)


    good news about the origins stuff :T

    Wow! I've not been around for a while, read about 3 pages and then had to skip 5 =[

    I dont feel the Veet is really doing its stuff on my legs, looking good on the bikini line though

    In a really good mood as I just found my snake again (yay!) in a bottle trap I set up, so now I can spray my room so it smells nice and not of mouse entrails anymore

    I had more to say, but I've completely forgotten, lol, just so happy =]

    I also have only 1 day cream with an SPF in it left in the stash - Elemis Day Cream which I have not used yet. I have left this out to change over from my Clinique DD. I did want to buy the Clinique City Block which I had tried on holiday last year and loved but feel I should give the Elemis a go first. Anyone tried the Elemis one?[/FONT][/COLOR]][/FONT]

    Just in case you haven't opened the Elemis one yet - if it's the Maximum Moisture Day Cream you have I've tried it and really like it although I prefer to use the PCMC for day time as it's lighter.
    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!
