    Another 3 UUs to report:

    Finish work early on Mondays so I dyed my hair with Schwarzkopf XXL. I've been using this for a few years as it's one of the few dyes that I can put in my hair without having to bleach it first to get the desired colour as my hair is naturally dark. WBA and will probably do so in a few weeks time.

    Also used up a small tube of finishing cream that came with hair removal cream to cover the skin around my hair line when I was dying.

    While that was all doing its thing I ran a bath and used a Beautilicious Green Apple Bath Bomb which I got as a stocking filler at Christmas, wasn't much of a smell from it or much fizz so WNBA.

    Hello all.

    A UU to report, tub of Bayliss & Harding body butter type thing. Was a gift, wasn't really aromatic, bit boring really.
    Also filled up my soap dispensers with a Bayliss & Harding relaxing lavender body wash, also a gift. Maybe I should drop massive hints to MIL that I don't really rate B&H products!

    Cut open Clinque almost make up tube this morning. Not much left in it so need to buy a replacement this week. Can't buy this again as it has been discontinued :(. I know a few of you have rated one recently can't remember if it was a Maybelline(sp?), Max Factor or a L’Oreal foundation - they are all blending together inmy mind? Think it was double wear or something. Not much help, I know, but ifanyone can decipher this please help me out
    :beer:.

    Also PMON last night - M&S City Grey, matched my dress today.

    Re the suggestion of Naked shampoos etc, I like the idea of Naked range but have a honey hand cream in my stash and found it went runny and dried my skin out very quickly :( I also have a Naked body lotion which has gone the same way :(

    Thanks for this.....it's only the hair products I've used (shampoo. conditioner and serum for me, curly booster stuff and detangling spray for my daughter) and they have all been fine. Worth knowing about the 'cream' products though, I will avoid!!

    Hope you are all well,

    A couple of uu's, S&G flake away body scrub, this is excellent, and I wba but I still have other brands in the stash to use up first

    also finished Molton Brown blissful temple tree body lotion, I absolutely love the scent of this and would love to repurchase but there are still so many other lotions and potions that I have to get through first

    Happy pampering, xo

    I've done the exact same! Got a set for Christmas, using the bath milk/foam in a soap dispenser and using body lotion and body butter in place of shaving gel/foam.

    Stash be gone!

    4 INS to report for my little boys stash - milk teeth toothpaste. Was on the grabbit and worked out at 25p each. It keeps until 2015 so will get used up by then.

    In a bit of a mood now as there's a little argument on the grabbit page about the danger of the products in the toothpaste. I don't entirely understand it, and i believe if it was of any danger, especially to a child it would be taken off sale....i don't know :S My son's also got his first cold today so i was up at dawn with a sniffling, coughing, crying, moody baby =/ I think i might settle for a hot bath and use up my miniatures this evening.

    I hope you're all having a better evening than me! :)
