rosemary54 - I have used Superdrug own for the past year and a bit and had no problem - one of the best I think if your after a normal hair colour. I like to try different brands but Clariol may be off the list.
I found Argan Oil -in a brown pump bottle- it cost £10 from superdrug or £13 from boots! But it has transformed my hair and you don't need a lot. This is from someone who abusses their hair on many levels, so very many!:eek:

Hope the pillow cases aren't to bad.

Sorry for being AWOL so far this month, lots going on at home/work. I've started studying again (boo ) towards my next exam in January, so very little time to stop right now.

But I've got a few UUs and plenty of splutterers so this should be a good month:

UU:
- FCUK pure bodywash in pink grapefruit & pomegranate - WB, got it free but really like the smell. Shame Boots don't sell it anymore!
- Skin Anti-aging Hand cream - sample bottle that had very little in it, smelt ok but wouldn't buy.
- V&R Flowerbomb perfume sample - Was ok, wouldn't buy though.
- Sanex zero shower gel (sachet) - Nice and simple but not smelly enough for me

Really need to get round to picking up the magazine with the L'occitane hand cream! I'm a little bit in love with L'occitane.

for those who remember my moan about neg feedback on fleabay,the woman finally contacted me and said she had emailed me(not true)and I ignored her and that she had to spend bus fare to go and get the package(£2.40) and £1.40 excess postage.I emailed back and said she must have mixed me up with the woman she bought Clarins from the previous month who had stated post at £2(when the min for a thick item is £2.20) and that I had put the corect postage on as given it to the post office to weigh.Asked her to check her facts but not had a reply and fleabay say there is nothing more they can do:mad::mad::mad::mad:feedback score now 96%.
another buyer who bought 3 items really cheaply asked if I would combine post so I dropped it from £6.60 which it would have been for 3 seperate parcels to £5 and wrapped the items in an empty beauty box and tissue......he comented on feedback how expensive the post was:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:is it worth it??????

I agree its too much hassle, maybe try something like Gumtree they rave about it at work.

Mockingjay - I agree with the others, it's often worth repurchasing what you love... & NARS blushes last for AGES!
However, if you're looking for a similar blush that's cheaper - check out Sleek Rose Gold which is in the £4-5 range (if you can find it! I bought my first one a year or so ago, and wanted to buy one for a friend - it was frequently sold out but might be more available now)

Rosemary54 - how annoying!!

Me too, fed up with buyers who complain, leave negative feedback and generallywant things for nothing :mad:
