    Sawan - What an audacious crime to try to commit! A bet he must have had a shock to see you and your brother blazing a trail after him. I am imagining a pumping base line tune playing in your car as the soundtrack to the chase. :rotfl:

    I have another splutterer, my Issey Miyake perfum with must be years old now. I have been using it just about every day and the end is near.

    sawan82 which Jurlique sample did you get (sorry very nosey).

    I was very good yesterday was tempted by Company Magazine yesterday as it had a freebie, but realised I woulddn't use it and didn't buy. I also managed to resist Marie Claire Magazine with Shampoo and Conditioner samples the week before. Maybe I've cured myself of the magazine freebie thing (fingers crossed I have).

    Hoping my LIB box comes soon I'm really looking forward to getting it. mind you I may have replaced my magazine freebie addiction with an addiction to beauty boxes.

    Was also tempted by an email from Cheapsmells this morning, but have been very good and deleted the email without ordering.

    Am i the only one to give in to the TSV???? I thought I could count on some of you ladies to keep me company!

    Right, deep breath, new plan................I will go to John Lewis at lunchtime, try the perfume and then make a decision. That's the mature and sensible thing to do right????

    Dollypop - that is indead a grown up decision. If only I was grown up:rotfl::rotfl:

    I really hope that I like the fragrence now that it's on it's way to me. Anyways, will certainly make me feel better, even if only for a little while.

    I'll be using mine on my hair, work through dry hair, concentrating on the ends, wrap in a warm towel for 1/2 hour, shampoo out. Not tried it yet so not sure of the effects, all online reviews seem good though :D

    Is it safe for coloured hair? only had mine done at the weekend (and tend to be extra careful with it for the first few weeks), maybe I should wait a bit before using it on my hair. I did use a little bit on my Nails instead of Nail Oil (the one I bought is rubbish) and it did seem to do a good job.

    I expect so, as far as I know it's the same stuff that's in morrocan oil and I've used that on my hair before! My hair is colored (from blonde to chestnut) and I'll be using it on my hair :D maybe the effect is different if your hair is bleached though, I know you should be more be more careful with products if your hair has been lightened :D

    I have golden highlights (which is a permament colour rather than bleach) and mid - light brown tone on tone on the rest, due to very bad genes I have grey patches and the rest of my natural colour has faded, the hair dye just makes my hair look like it did in my early twenties. As the main colour isn't permament it tends to start fading after a few weeks, so try and kepp it looking good as long as possible, think I managed to make it last about 6 weeks this time, before it started to look faded.
