    I am just reading Bobbi Brown Living Beauty borrowed from local library. She recommends using baby soap or baby shampoo, apply to hand, lather, run brush over hand to pick up soap, then massage soap through bristles, rinse under clean running water, pat dry with towel, shape them as needed, then leave overhanging from work top to dry. HTH

    Been doing it that way for years. Who knew I was a makeup guru in training!:cool:
  • UU's Nicky Clark volumising shampoo and conditioner samples WNB I liked this, my hair liked it but my scalp did not.

    I have also decanted a Nivea body lotion into a pump bottle for handcream as it's been sitting in the bathroom for a while (2 years!) and I have stacks of bodybutters. I do also have a few tubes of handcream but get through them at work quite quick.

    Ins 3 x botanics eye make up remover, giving this a go as they have changed the No7 one and wanted to find something cheaper. No17 BB cream and a free blusher. 2 x Mitchum roll ons from 99p store.

    I am feeling very down tonight (doctors messing with my tablets, new ones not kicked in yet lol) so been webbrowing for goodies. Have so far resisted the Nails inc promo i got... but only because I just had a new zoya (acidentally arrived with the SLS free shampoo I ordered to see if it would stop my horrendous head itching.) (the itching is horrendous that is, not my head...)

    Zoya - Shade tallulah (its so BLUE!)
    Weleda Calendula and Chamomile Shampoo
  • INs:
    Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Conditioner, made the mistake of picking this up, I wanted the shampoo as already have conditioner. Don't know where I've put the receipt, do you think they'll let me swap it at Boots?
    Soft & Gentle Deodorent
    Nivea Pure & Natural Day Cream
    Nivea Pure & Natural Night Cream

    And one UU:
    S&G Off Your Face Wipes wnba too drying and didn't like the smell. They don't make my face feel clean.
  • Another UU :j :j

    FCUK Pure Body Lotion 300ml - WNBA - Bought this because it was reduced in Boots. I thought it smelled OK and I liked the pump but it really didn't last long, I'm sure I only opened it just over a week ago and for the last couple of days I've been taking the pump off and shaking it out in to my hand because it wouldn't pump out so I certainly wouldn't pay full price for it. :D

    Sorry that you have been feeling down, hope the new meds kick in soon. I sometimes sit and fill up massive shopping carts on line when I think I need retail therapy, and then later just delete them, or they will have timed out. If I only play around and add a few things that I (think) I want, I am much more likely to hit that NO NO button.

    Would you mind posting how you get on with the new shampoo in due course, I suffer from itchy scalp sometimes and like to have a couple of safe shampoos to alternate between. I hope you have a better day today.:)

  • Morning Ladies,

    Day off today as too many flexi hours in the bank! OH is off on a fitness and medical this morning which is the final step towards a fab new job so fingers crossed for him! Going for a stroll with the dog this morning even though the wind sounds wild then might take a walk up to a lovely little cake shop by us that's shut by the time I finish work to get some treats. This afternoon once OH is back we're going to watch The Woman in Black I think, scary :eek:

    Glad I'm in good company with stashes of another variety, the tea bag one made me giggle! :rotfl:

    One UU and one IN to report from last night:

    IN (guilt free as sent by Mum) - Tesco McAdam Brunette Super Shine Conditioner - I'm currently enamoured with Aussie Aussome Volume conditioner but will try and intertwine this into use now and again along with a couple of conditioning splutterers I've got but am loathe to upset the balance of my hair as it seems happy at the min!

    UU - Impulse Hot Pink Shower Gel - It was ok, did the job, lathered well but wasn't too keen on the fragrance which was very synthetic, WBA but only if it was a dirt cheap mega bargain - plenty more shower gel in the stash yet in any case.

    Have a lovely day all, I intend to enjoy my freedom! :j
