    An 'in' to declare - but it was planned - Aveda Madder root conditioner. WBA a HG product for me.

    Maddiemay - great news about you brother, hope he continues to improve.





    Emsjune78 - I've not looked into a micro pedi (what have I missed??) but you might want to look at a product called Pedikur. It's a liquid that you soak onto a little cotton pad, cover the bit of hard skin you want rid of, and then I wrap my foot in clinflim (just to keep the cotton wool on my foot). 10 mins later you get the chance to scrape away all of the dead/hard skin whick by this time has melted to a thick gell like texture. I find the stuff amazing and would not buy enything else.

    Oohh thanks for the tip Scrappie I'll look into that, always on the lookout for new products which I guess is what got me into this mess in the first place :o I do tend to more or less stop though when I find HG products and stick to those but this is an area that I'm still lacking perfection :D

    Had a look at another Boots yesterday for the Gok set but they had none at all. I am not sure if I would have bought it anyway but would have liked the option. They did have them online a few days ago but in order to get free delivery to store I would have had to buy more. Anyway in the end I left Boots empty handed.

    In the LIb advent calender I got a Richard Ward Volumising root booster which I am loving. Can anyone recommend a readily available product which you spray on damp hair and which leaves it lifted but soft and not crispy or sticky? TIA

    Have a good day all, today is my kids last day off school so am hoping for a nice day without all the fighting.

    I really like Trevor Sorbie Beautiful Volume Volume Booster which is a pump action type spray and doesn't leave my hair at all sticky or crispy HTH

    I've used £5 of Am*zon vouchers I won with GfK to buy an Olay Anti Wrinkle Firm and Lift Day Cream (SPF 15).
    ?!

    Intrigued to see you had GfK vouchers, I use to do the GfK tv and radio survey but then stopped sending the email link, I couldn't log in and then when I contacted them they told me i was no longer required, pretty poor show by them :(:mad:
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    A UU for me S&G foot cream have got another in the cupboard and the hand cream too.

    They are both ok, not as good as l'occitane.

    Hi all. I have an IN to declare but it's a planned IN: Cutex Ultra Cleansing nail polish remover. My current bottle is spluttering (even though I topped it up with OPI remover) and I couldn't stand the thought of not having any in. have repainted my nails tonight and am now wearing OPI Lincoln Park After Dark from the Top Ten minis I got for Christmas. I used to own this in a full sized bottle and hated it but I quite like it now. Fickle moi??

    A wee question if I may?
    If I bought stuff and paid for it before the new year, does that count?
    A heap of stuff arrived from Superdrug :o

    This one was for a "What I Buy" survey, those surveys take AGES to complete. I think I've been doing them for about 18 months and have had about £15 in "wins" so not a huge return for my efforts!
