    Sorry Pixtotts, was catching up on the thread and commented before I saw the updates. Yes, a strand test seems to be the way to go. Keep us updated!

    Honey, what a terrible thing to happen! I hope everything is ok now? Have you heard any more?

    3 UU's and 1 IN this weekend.

    UU
    • Origins Make A Difference + Rejuvenating Treatment Lotion – WMBA – Got this in a set. Was actually very nice but I am drowning in toner at the moment so not on the cards for the near future.
    • Argan oil – WBA – great multipurpose oil
    • Balance me body wash – WNBA – Got in a beauty box. Not really my cup of tea.

    IN
    • I love coconut and cream bath foam – Had no more shower gels or bath foams in my stash, and I need me some bubbles for bath time!
    No more goo hoarding!

    Thanks :D
    I will do... heard since that baby shampoo and original head and shoulders can also help lift it so that's got to be tried too :) and much less smelly than some of the other things that have been suggested... lol x
    I hope you know your capable, & brave, & significant.
    even when it feels like your not....

    For removing colour some of things I've heard of are;
    • Head and Shouders
    • A mixture of baking soda and shampoo
    • Coconut oil treatment
    • Vitamin C and shampoo mixture
    • Bleach wash

    Not sure how some of these would do with henna though.

    I have a uu

    Balance Me Super Toning Body Wash 100ml, this was a magazine freebie a while back, it was nice but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it. Have another one in the stash.

    We went to Godiva Festival in Coventry yesterday, it was an excellent day out and best of all, I saw my favourite band -- We Are Scientists -- for FREE :D They were on stage after Scroobius Pip and Dan Le Sac so most of the crowd moved away and we got right to the front :) I might be 36 in a couple of weeks but I can still "fan girl" with the best of them. Got a horrible migraine in the train home but it was totally worth it :cool:

    Lucky girl, another HUGE WAS fan over here :hello:

    Eek - what does yours smell like?

    All packaging now must have a date reminder on them - it's a little symbol of a pot with a number in the middle - this tells you how long the product will last once opened.

    The smell does remind me of something but can't put my finger on it. It is unopened but when I looked at.my stash list the earliest I may have bought it is 2010 although can't say that's when I definitely bought it :o
    Did owe £9,951.96

    Now helping hubby pay off loan. Finally paid off :j

    Owe Virgin [STRIKE]£5,950.00 [/STRIKE]at 0% til June 2009 £3,427.89. Owe HSBC [STRIKE]£5,460.78 [/STRIKE]2.9% til May 2010 £3,703.07. Owe Post Office £1,676.62 at 0% til September 2010

    honey 72 what a horrid thing to happen. Hope all ok now.

    emsjune78 sorry you had a rubbish weekend too :(

    Mine wasn't the best, bathroom plumbing problems meaning a new bathroom required, will be nice once done but cost/mess... :eek:

    I do have some stash movements to report:

    UU

    7/152. Sanctuary Salt Scrub 60g - WNB, don't like the greasy residue it leaves and sachets are poor value - one use only! Have another in stash, both came from gift sets.

    8/153. John Frieda Frizz Ease Miraculous Recovery Intensive Mask 25ml - WMBA but poor value. Only one left in stash then will need to buy a full size replacement, therefore think I can safely say I've graduated in hair treatments!

    And another non-bought IN

    3/149. MAC Prep & Prime Skin Base 6ml

    They had both chubby sticks in my local WHS today but the colours look really bright so I resisted - for anyone who has tried these, is the colour per tube the colour it goes on? I would have expected them to be pretty sheer? Not that I need any more make-up...
