    Help please :D I'm sure I read on a previous thread about someone buying 1 litre bottles of Redken from an EBay seller, I'm interested to know if you were happy with the product and who the seller was...........

    I've decided Redken is my holy grail and luckily I don't have a stockpile of Shampoo/Conditioner so I'm OK to buy! :A

    Hi Dollypop, that was me I think! I did buy 1l bottles of Redken All Soft from eBay and am happy with them, looks to be the real stuff to me :-) I think it was about £45 for the shampoo and conditioner - I'll have a look if I can see on my eBay account who the seller was and PM you later if that's ok?

    To everyone else - Hi!:wave::wave: I am very much back in the challenge after the epic fail that was last month...!

    I will be doing a fresh stash list shortly - probably when I can get the OH out of the house so he doesn't think I've gone mad.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I've only told one person about this challenge & he was very sweet/encouraging about it. :) My OH would not understand...

    I have a difficult to reach box of unlisted things still under my bed. I'm building up the courage to complete my stash list. :o

    Me! I tend to throw some moisturiser on (and perferably a pair of bed socks as well) before going to bed: it really makes a difference! Given that we are fast approaching (or may have passed) sandal weather, it's nice to think that we wouldn't have any cracked heels on display, isn't it?! ;)

    I try to put foot cream on every night. My chiropodist told me that it just like putting on hand cream, your feet need moisturised. I tend to have socks on in the evening as my house is so blooming cold and take them off during the night if/when I get too hot.

    Mine thinks I am anyway! He was looking at me last night as I was searching through a huge bag for some hand cream. 'How many products does one person need?' asks the bold boy. Ha! He doesnt know the half of it.

    We had a discussion about Easter and not buying Easter Eggs. I was about to suggest he could buy me something nice from L'Occitane, but I bit my tongue. I really dont need anything else!

    First the UU's as of tomorrow morning.

    Alterna Caviar anti aging rapid repair spray - I loved this deluxe travel size product so much that I did purchase a full size last month (still waiting for it to arrive). It really repaired my hair, really just fantastic and it smells great.

    Rusk Pure Shampoo (liter) - will be done this tomorrow morning, so I'll add this one as well. I can't believe I finished an entire liter of this. Wow. It was a lovely shampoo, great for my thin straight hair, and it will be missed.

    Chanel mouse doceur cleanser - another product that I will be finished with tomorrow's shower before work. this is one of my favourite face cleansers. I love foaming cream cleansers and this one just beats everything else I've ever used in terms of leaving my skin feeling clean but not dry and it has a lovely fresh scent.

    Yardley's perfume in peony - GA

    Nails Inc brixton base coat - GA

    I've also been using my makeup everyday and not purchasing any new makeup, so I'm very happy and proud of myself lol

    Hi ladies,

    Being a newbie, I'm not sure if I should be posting a list of toiletries? And make up?

    I'm determined to be good (or to at least try!) :)

    Hi all!
    I thought I would have had some UUs this morning in the shower, but they are still hanging on! They will finish tomorrow, they will :rotfl:

    I am dying to open my BS almond body butter, but must finish my S&G Girlingo first!!

    I realised this is my birthday month, (how could I have forgotten!) so will probably have a few INs in a couple of weeks :D

    Welcome back Jacks!
