Got another UU Argan oil hydrating hair mask WBA definitely, it's an absolute bargain and I would recommend highly. It smells great, is a lovely rich cream (It feels more luxurious and does a better job IMO than more expensive brands including herbal essences etc). I only paid a quid for it in asda and you can get it in pound land too. I've got ones to use up first but I'll buy more of this at some point!

I tried garnier micellar water tonight and I have to say its a lot better than the super drug pure one I have for work. My skin feels nicer and less greasy than when I use the super drug one. So in this case I think I'm better spending a bit more on this stuff. I think the super drug one is fine but the garnier one suits my skin so much more.

I'm making a conscious effort now to remember to use stuff up, before bed I slather on foot cream, moisturiser, eye cream and lip balm oh and hand butter. I forget when I'm really tired but I've got it all on tonight. Remembered to paint my nails today too as I've this weekend off. I'm a carer and I can't wear it at work so I often forget on my says off but I've got a bag full of lovely polishes so I need to remember to apply it on my days off!!

Morning.

I have another uu

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer 20ml - this used to be my HG when my hair was straight, I used it once a week and as the week went on my hair looked better and better. Now my hair has gone into it's curly fit it just doesn't seem to do the same thing, this is unfortunate because I have a couple of 75ml tubes, a 40ml tube, a half used 1L tub and an unopened 500ml tub:eek:.

I was wondering if I could rely on you lovely ladies for some help. My niece is seven years old and suffers with eczema top to bottom. My sister just uses aqueous cream as she doesn't itch with it and her skin doesn't dry out so bad it cracks. Is there anything natural she can use to help alleviate the dryness?

A coworker of mine has used Aveeno before. I personally don't know if it's natural. I've used it too and found it very similar to Jergens.

How was the gig? We're the called "Faux-Asis"? LOL?

I need to colour my hair today. It's very overdue.

:rotfl:

They were called "Super-onit" which is apparently a pun on Supersonic?! You've reminded me of a bloke who used to drive around the area flogging all matter of tatt out the back of his van. He came in one day and said, "What about a nice single bed frame? It's fox leather". I was initially aghast, until I realised he was trying to say "faux" and just didn't know how to pronounce it

The band were alright, not amazing but not terrible either, Liam was decidedly patchy but Noel impressed me! DH has been sweet-talked into his band headlining a gig later in the year with Super-Onit supporting, I'm not saying he's easily swayed but the promoter using the phrase "local legend" about him had him weak-kneed :rotfl:

Asset, I wish I could help you decipher how to open your eye cream, all I can recommend is you persevere as I have been using the dregs of an Aldi eye cream for the past six weeks which I'm CERTAIN is almost UU (have been holding it up to the lamp since mid-March ) but it just keeps on going and going and going. I tend to resort to oven gloves and a knife but I wouldnt recommend this approach

I've researched the prices of my HG hair colour and will be buying 3 tomorrow for £9 in Boots :money: When we were out on Friday a friend said he's never seen me so hairy :rotfl: but it's true, my hair has grown a tonne in the past year. I'll try and find some pics to share where I don't feel too minging

Watching the Masters with a wee cider after a cracking weekend. I hope you're all happy too

I can't help the OP I'm afraid but just to add, I tried a Jergens body lotion last year which I got super cheap in Tesco, I absolutely loved it but googling has shown that they are no longer selling their range in the UK. Another good excuse for a Stateside jaunt, maybe

Yeah I second this, my brother has eczema too and he also uses aveeno I'm sure he has it on prescription.

ETA. Just UU another boots extracts cocoa butter body butter 50ml. Love these HG WBA but think I've got a big pot and another mini one stashed away. Don't think I can live without this stuff now!! Just opened a coconut one for a change and don't like the smell so much. But I'm definitely not bored of the cocoa butter one - I just think it smells gorgeous. I've had compliments on it. And I love the way this stuff sinks in.
