    Schwarzkopf XXL Cosmic Blue x 2 - To dye my hair with after removing said red colour. ;)

    Wow! Looking forward to seeing that - I was never brave enough to go proper blue :T

    One UU: Superdrug Dry Hair Shampoo: WIBA? Yes. It didn't smell as nice as some of the Batiste ones - but better than the Tropical one :rotfl: Did the job though :D Am off to Mr T's soon so will probably pick up one of their own brand version to try - Here's hoping it's on offer :rotfl:

    Hugs to all :cool:

    Some lovely purchases there hanval. I also love Radleys and think the shop at Cheshire Oaks is fab.

    What's your new one like? Is that where your username originates from: Handbag Val??

    Hehe, that's quite good detective work, but no, I'm afraid it's something else!!

    This is the bag I got in black:

    £160 reduced to £69, it would have been rude to leave it!

    I've bought far too manythings at Cheshire Oaks in the past, although judging by the new Radley designs for this autumn/winter, they won't be getting much more business out of me.

    Hanval - if there is a 'no more buying radley bags' i may need to join. Despite having 2 small suitcases already i just bought a radley one just becasue it was so pretty and turquoise!

    Sounds lovely, I'm a sucker for turquoise!

  • Hi all,
    Haven't posted in a while... Very sorry to hear about Percy, TrudiJ. *hugs*

    Just got an email from Bliss - they've now got a new 4-line lipcare routine, including a special lip cleanser, scrub, plumper and balm. How crazy do they think we are?!

    Also, two INs... It's raining men LUSH shower gel and the new Garnier BB cream. I still can't work out how it's different to my tinted moisturiser with spf in, but it looked lovely when I tested it on my hand!

    Afternoon Lovelies :wave:

    I have some UUs to report.

    UU Ultrasun spf 30 25ml WIBA? I would, I really trust it.

    UU Alpha H Absolute Eye Complex 7ml WIBA? Yes. this is one of the few eye products that I think really does something.

    UU Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm 15ml WIBA? Yes. I love it. I use it as a weekly cleansing massage treatment rather than a daily cleanser but if it was cheaper I'd use it more!

    Do I spot another QVC customer amongst us? I keep meaning to try the Ultrasun and Alpha H products. Must treat myself when my stash is low.

    That Radley is lush. I've never seen suede ones. I've noticed that they are producing more and more nylon ones which I've assumed is direct competition with Kipling. The last one I got was the Lottie hobo bag that MrM bought me from Manchester Airport last time we went away. Was significantly reduced.

    I have another UU to declare. TBS Lemon and Thyme shower gel (from their newest range). Nothing to write home about I'm afraid so won't be dashing out to replace. I have got a L'Occitane verbena soap from my stash to replace it.

    I promised myself a Radley bag, but in typical And fashion I ended up with a Kipling one. It's a lovely practical smallish but not too small rectangular bag in lovely soft, soft black leather... it's still in the white cotton storage bag it came in. It will be used.

    A UU My Superdrug Colour Radiance Intensive Conditioner for Brunettes. WIBA? Well, it wasn't particularly intensive, and it was indistinguishable from the much cheaper regular conditioner. Which I would use again! So ..as an intensive conditioner in that form, no. I'm on to the Aqua Light I bought the other week and an Elemis that matches the shampoo, in the stash for some months. I also have a Herbal Essences leave - in cream and a few freebie samples.
    No more conditioners to be bought shall be my mantra....

    some UU's/outs for me this week
    Garnier invisible deodrants - ok nothing to write home about though
    Asda baby talc - wba as it's cheap and does the job
    Sanctuary bath soak - given to my sister as part of her birthday pressy was my baths not big enought for soaks, and it looks like if we get the house we're looking at that we won't have that option at all

    evening all

    I'm finally back online after the house move :D love the new flat, views are amazing

    I've have a few INs/UU's over past 10 days:

    IN and UU - 1 x Loreal Foam hair dye - WIBA? only if nothing else was on offer. Did the job but takes 30mins to work, which is too long in my book!

    INs:

    1 x Soft & Gentle Linen and wild Cornflower deoderant, almost out of my current one so a needed in
    1 x sample pot of Lancome Genefique Eye Serum - a freebie off my friend who works on the counter :)
    1 x Tresemme 24hr Body Blow Dry Lotion - bought a new hair dyer today as mine went kaput and this came free with it!
