uu#7 - Vosene Kids 3in1 shampoo with headlice repellent :S Not that I have nits, it was a freebie.
WNBA. Dried my hair out so had to use conditioner after it, and didn't like the smell... tea tree-ish isn't for me.0 -

Hi everyone - just caught up from last friday -phew!
Some great posts evilsquid on product ingredients and brands etc - have used my own home made facial serum for a few months now and find it as good for my skin as decleors, and for a fraction of the price :j I still have some decleor mini neroli oils in my stash that I received in larger kits from QVC but I probably will ebay them in the future.kiplingmonkey wrote: »Not cheeky at all but you have to promise not to be shocked - probably between 30-40...I need to sell some on Ebay as there are some I don't really use - finding the perfect bag is a bit like finding ther HG and some I just don't get along with like the Fairfax - too many pockets, not the right size for me. I know it is one of their best selling styles but it just doesn't do it for me.
I have 9 and got this one for Xmas
http://www.kipling.com/int/rumoi.html?show_img=K1987557000+999
for about £30.
I too did not get on with the fairfax and it is the only one I have ever returned!For the past (approx) 9 months I've been washing my face with a Clinique soap. It lasted incredibly well but got down to such a small piece that I couldn't rub any more off it. In my utter reluctance to buy another one (£12 a pop!), and my additional reluctance to spend £3+ on a facewash (what s skinflint) I did a wee bit of research and bought an 80p bar of Wrights Coal Tar Soap to use instead. It's antibacterial and doesn't look to have any of the chemical rubbish I'm sure hides away in most shower gels and facewashes.
Thus far it's really excellent. Washes my oily face lovely and clean and didn't dry it out, and this morning I used it with my exfoliatey gloves on my body too. I've made a little note in my study diary of when I started using it because I'm really curious to see how long a bar lasts.
I think soap is my new favourite beauty product.
I also love soap -didn't know about this one so will look out for it!0 -
Bev97 - are you going to share your home made srum recipe?
I haven't posted a list on here but I only include the makeup I actively want to use up, like my too many mascaras and foundations or almost empty lipglosses etc0 -
