    Nicky Clarke Brunette Shampoo & Nicky Clarke Brunette Conditioner - nice enough, smell wasn't too overpowering WMBA

    Gotta love Sunday deliveries. Most of my Amazon parcels now come via Amazon's own delivery guys, who work Sundays. The shampoo I asked for yesterday arrived this afternoon and was in use literally within 5 minutes. I'd not shampooed my hair this morning in the hope that it would arrive. Just one bottle, though the review is for a six pack.

    In the interests of a fair trial, I just washed my hair with the shampoo, no conditioner or leave - in conditioner, or heated appliances to dry my hair. Until I was in my late twenties or early thirties I never used conditioner, anyway. Nobody I knew did either. I was racking my brains to try and remember when I started using a conditioner and I honestly can't recall.

    I have to say I'm impressed with this freebie. The shampoo concerned is Garnier Ultimate Blends Marvellous Transformer which is for dry, dull hair. My hair really does look significantly better and it feels lovely and soft as well. Mine is the only review so far, so I've no idea if others share my views.

    I have to smile, :D when I went to get the link I noticed in the 'what do other customers buy after viewing this item?' section that someone had bought not another shampoo, but 24 milk chocolate Alpen cereal bars...!

    One more UU - Korres Jasmine body milk which has been discontinued so can't buy again even if I had wanted to. Expecting a few more in the next few days - does feel good to be making some progress at last!

    Hi Ladies. I have some uu's

    Right Guard Shower+ Oils 250ml - WMBA, this was nice enough and had Argan, Marula and Almond oil in, I use it straight on the skin to get the benefit of the oil rather than using a puff, it doesn't lather much and I got through it very quickly.

    Elemis Quiet Mind Bath Elixer 300ml - I really love this and have had several bottles all as GWP, there is no way I will pay Elemis prices for bubble bath though.

    DHC Cleansing Oil 30ml - I quite like this but there are other more easily available oil cleansers that do as good a job so WNBA, I do have two more this size in the stash though.

    UU #4 on Saturday - a Revlon Flex shampoo (wasn't much in the bottle when I pulled it out of the cupboard). I quickly realised why I'd previously tucked this shampoo into the back of my cupboad - I've been having to do my hair every 1-2 days instead of the normal 3-4. As such I WNBA even if it's still available, especially as there are others I prefer the feel, smell and application of.

    Have replaced with a Garnier Fructis Strength & Shine shampoo that's down to about a quarter bottle, so hopefully won't take too long to use up.

  • Another UU - Ren Hudracalm serum. WMBA - it's nice but I am not convinced it's the best I can get. I have my eye on the new Antipodes serum but I have a few good size samples to use before I get there.

    2 TAs today:-

    sephora by OPI mini bottle of I Don't Bite. A metallic purple that I never really liked.

    Leighton Denny Supermodel. Bottle was low on product and had separated. Decided to chuck it as I have another two bottles of this.

    My nails look s mess with the Supermodel on so I'm going to repaint them with LE Signature colour and if I'm not sure about this put Snow Globetrotter on top. Have very little nail polish remover left so let's hope there's enough to get all the lacquer off!

    The LE Signature nail colour will be another GA. Was way too young looking for me to pull off. Am wearing OPI Skyfall instead which is a little more mature. x
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    I have made my first purchase (and hopefully last) of the month. I have bought the Clinique Custom Smart Repair Serum, I got the 50ml size, I bought it in Boots and used a double points coupon and a 450 bonus points coupon and somehow ended up with 814 points in total. It is very expensive stuff but it has made my skin look really good and the scarring on my cheeks has dramatically faded.

    I didn't take up the bonus time offer - I didn't want the gift and there was nothing else I needed to buy.

    3 full size St tropez tanning products and a mitt to test for a panel. I sort of regretted of signing up for this though as I'm not sure how I will find time to test it and also I felt really overwhelmed with the stuff I have recently and really didn't want 3 more bottles.
