No to buying unnececcary toiletries in October!!!

InaPickle

Hi all!

2 more UUS:

1- Corsodyl Daily Mouth Wash: WIBA? Yes, dentist-enforced HG product. Costs an arm, a leg and some teeth, mind!

2- l'Occitane Hand Cream (15ml): WIBA? Nice, but there are few left.

Can't believe how much SPACE all these toiletries must have taken up!

Aw! Well done Red! Good luck Lemon Tree and fingers crossed for you in selling. More finger crossing on the jobs front... good luck to all.

Another UU...
Schwarzkopf Palette Permanent Hair Colour in Chestnut Brown.

WIBA? Yes, after a bit of umming and ahhing. It covered my not - too - many greys very nicely. The umming and ahhing were partly because this is a very 'old-school' hair colour, no different to those used 30 years ago. You pierce the metal tube of colourant and squeeze it into the bottle of peroxide, then shake like fury. The gloves are the old style papery textured plastic. The pound shop colourants are the same.

Also it's only suitable for short hair, unless you buy two packs. There isn't much mix to use once it's prepared. That was a novelty for me, as with my fine, shortish hair I usually end up binning half a bottle.
What was a disadvantage (not a lot of product) turned into an advantage, as it all stayed on my head and there was very little mess. There was a generous sachet (15ml) of good quality conditioner, which will do me for another time as well.

The colours are nicer than the pound shop colours, and apart from those, this must be one of the cheapest on the market, but with the reassurance of a good name behind it.
Sooo.... an IN, ready for next time. Schwarzkopf Palette in Mocha Brown. (They didn't have another Chestnut Brown in store.)
I can remember Lady M saying she needed 2 packs of her Schwarzkopf colourant, it's obviously the norm with the company to produce quite short measures of product.

a few more ins:

and sachet of vichy lift activ (even though they've already sent me one?:huh:)

has anyone tried the ted baker toiletries for women. They are on OOTW soon and i'm wondering what they are like in terms of quality and effectiveness because it's hard to find reviews of them online

I quite like the Ted Baker set I had. I really like the set that has the green lid though, it has a lovely fragrance

I loved the Ted Baker stuff I had last year - and Im contemplating the OOTW though Im not sure I wouldnt just be buying it and getting rid of a lot, so it might be better for me to just spend on the things i know i like. Love the new body butter/souffle ive just bought of it (dark lid) even though it makes me smell a little like a candle shop its rather gentle...

Red won the fancy dress too clever girlie - just got the other classes to wait for now !! lol

UU: l'Occitane Shea Cocoa Butter Hand Lotion 15ml. WIBA? Only when my hands are feeling it as it is seriously rich. But great for dry hands.

Job interview went okay....I said all I can say...now it's just down to whether they think I could do the job! It's quite an ambitious job to be put forward for by the job agency guy who put me forward...so I just did what I could and now I shall await the outcome!

Congrats Lady M! :)

Fingers crossed for you ALJA.


Trudji - Red looked great in the pics.

Another UU for me this morning. Listerine mouth wash. Already have another one out from the stash list.

Also one more splutterer to add to the list - my HG Gum hairspray.

I am completely done in tonight. This week has been crazy busy at work with the school holidays and I still have to get through tomorrow too Then I get a full day off!
