    Hopefully, Charlie is out celebrating the end of her exams!

    Ok, time to 'fess up, I bought something FOR CASH last week, seemed an odd thing to ask for as a present so I didn't, hence the spend .... but I didn't have it and it was needed.
    The Batiste Dry Shampoo (original) every one but me seems to use. It was only 1.19 or something in S'drug. I used it today and found it really worked quite well.
    I can remember using a Schwarzkopf product years - and I mean donkey's years - ago, it was better than that. And MUCH better than standard talc!

    One post-bath UU:
    James Brown Volumising Conditioner: WIBA? No - wasn't very conditioning - very runny.

    mcculloch - £1.19 in 5 months is still outstanding :T and the Batiste is worth it :D

    2 UU for me today - woop

    dove restorative conditioner- WBA - good for a cheap conditioner im a bit of a conditioner snob but this worked well and actually detangled my hair just a very small bottle for the industrial amounts i use- VVVVV dry hair!

    2- amlactyn a generic brand ammonium lactate cream to treat KP i bought 2 large bottles last yr from the states off ebay and will def buy again as its good for helping reduce KP and ingrown hairs which i suffer from TMI?

    anyone tried or using Super drug skin care oil?

    im trying to get rid by mixing it with any kind of moisturiser i cant remember why i bought it maybe it promised me something amazing and i thought ooooooooo as with 90% of the stash. i think it was their answer to bio oil....
    keep calm and carry on :rotfl:

    may toiletries IN- 7 UU- 13

    No, but it's a great idea: MSE 'L' plates! :D

    Where is it from, and when did it come into being? Me likes...:cool:

    And Rosemary, that is naughty. They should have sent your something else, or offered to send you whatever it was when another one comes into stock. I'd call their bluff and ring them up and say you want to return the order due to the lack of freebie. Give it the whole 'I often buy from you, but I'm really disappointed. I don't think I'll be buying from you again' malarkey, and I bet you'll get your freebie soon enough! ;)

    Little uu this morning, a gwp size of No7 radiance revealed exfoliator. This had been around quite a while and is not the same formulation as you get now, it was very fine and not very scrubby, it was only 15ml but still lasted ages.

    Am trying to use up my Girligo but am finding that it is making my bathroom floor dangerously slippy, will def not be buying this again when it's gone. S&G seem to either get it so right or so wrong, I tried some of the Glow Job bronzing moisturiser, awful, the beads containing the bronzer were hard to break so you had to rub it into your hand first, and the colour, I am pale but not unusually so and this made me look like the tango man from years ago, no exaggeration, i had to take it straight off:eek:.

    Hi everyone!

    I have moved back home now since I have finished uni so my toiletry stash has literally doubled and I don't know where to put everything. I have been quite good since coming home though and have several UU to report!

    A sachet of Herbal Essences Soft and Sleek shampoo and conditioner (I think that is what it was called anyway!) WIBA? Probably not, I think it has made my hair greasy - hard to tell with one use only though!

    A tub of Hair mask which I have had for several years and ended up using the whole tub on my hair - it is not particularly long or anything, it just didn't seem to rub in very well. WIBA? Nope.

    A sachet of face mask from H and M. WIBA? Definitly Not - it has brought me out in spots!!

    Hope you are having a good day everyone! x
