Hi was after some help plz, what are the best shampoos & conditioners for dyed hair not to expensive tho x

Can't say whether it kept the colour (my hair is coloured but over due appointment as I've been ill) but recently my hair was in bad condition and it got to a softer better condition after using Garnier fructis for coloured hair (red bottles) which I got in pound world although you can get it for a quid loads of places. Maybe worth a try for the price.

Another UU
Anew hand cream, this was rather gorgeous and I would buy again if I hadn't got so many stashed. I'd almost got the hand realms under control but got given loads fore Christmas.

The anew one (from Avon) actually looked like a foundation it was tinted and felt beautifully smooth and creamy to go on with no sticky residue.

1-2. Lush Dream Cream - My ezcema is flaring up again so I'm going through it like crazy. Finished my 2nd pot and now on my 3rd.
3. Lush - Avobath bath bomb
4. Lush - pink easter egg

I did another big clear out...
GA's -
6x Lush bath bomb to a friend
Lush 9 to 5 cleanser - giving away my back up - I keep telling myself to stop buying back ups
2x John Frieda shampoo & conditioner sample
25 nail polishes to my mother in law

I do have some IN's to declare, I bought 2 new perfumes however I just couldn't resisit.

I used to buy the red loreal elvive and it worked pretty well, especially on reds and purples which normally fade quite quickly.

You can buy the conditioners that come in garnier Olia hair dye separately - i know thats quite expensive for the size you get unless its on offer, but I tend to get a good 7 uses out of it. I think its better than buying those conditioning masks all the ranges do.



Just realised I have a fair few ins to declare:

Urban Decay Gwen Stefani eyeshadow palette
Urban Decay Gwen Stefani 714 Lipstick
Estee Lauder face wash 40ml
Estee Lauder Mascara mini
Estee Lauder face cream sachet (all were GWP when I bought a new sharpener).
YSL Touche Eclat foundation
Revlon Foundation
Revlon cream eyeshadow palette (GWP and foundation was on a glitch)
+ the contents of the aveda beauty box once it arrives.

Have been very tempted to buy the UD vice 4 today as its £10 off at debenhams. Do i need any more eyeshadow? probably not, but its so pretty to look at!

I have a real hankering for the UD BGwen Stefani blush palette. Have some gift cards left so maybe ....

Went into ASSA today to get some shampoo but all the muraculous recovery tubes had shampoo leaked around the lids so left them.

Emma's skin is looking better already after only one days use of Murad stuff. V impressed.

Painted my nails again last night and am wearing OPI IM Suzi and I'm a chocoholic.

UUs
55) nature republic sheet mask WMBA I keep having a sense that I will get through these sheet masks but I still have 12 to use but I did start off with over double that. Bought as they were less than £4 delivered for a box of 10 so of course I ordered several. Some were given away, I should finish them next month.

56) so white bath bomb WBA love this one such a good Apple scent.

I mentioned I finished a tester and Would buy it again, totally. Cauldalie sos serum- lovely very hydrating for long time. My skin drank it up. (If you ever saw ice cold in alex movie where john mills- drinks a beer- my skin is like that.) After the shower my face normally feels so dry and parched- it withstood the hairdryer which normally makes my skin feel like a desert. I tend to air dry the wet hair as hair dryers are so dehydrating to the skin. After 16 hours my skin was still moist and in great condition.
L’Or!al gentle eye makeup remover- nasty stuff. Stings and hurts eyes. It also fails to remove eye makeup. Epic fail! I don’t know if I need to toss it or try it as a toner. I feel sometimes live is too short to use something that is of limited use.
Pulled out catrice eye liner gel pot from the stash. A stunning product. It sticks to the eye over eye shadow. While this sounds basic, compared to the max factor that is off limited effect. Catrice is lovely. Pulled out some chubby pencils from the stash, put them into the use up ASAP pile. It’s nice to change things up once in a while.
On the final application or so of the gold eye shadow- long haul product- it has taken years to finish it. All the other shadows were finished long ago.
Cut open the boo boo cream- finished. WNBA it’s all right, but highly scented. I have so much body stuff in the stash that need to be used up. This challenge has allowed me to focus on the body products.
I’m at that rotten stage where I can see a lot of things being finished in march- a lot of things are nearly at an end. Boo boo miracle oil 1/10th left, Trilogy face cream 1/8th left and some Max factor under eye concealer in ivory. An other garnier micelluar water is coming to last 1/6th – I will have to invest in shares in the company. I hit pan on the pressed powder- at least there is some progress. A lot of these are going to carry on in march.

I've got some UUs:

Lush Damaged Hair Hot Oil Treatment - WMBA - My hair feels super moisturised but I can feel that despite using a lot of shampoo for AGES I still have some bits not fully washed out.

Lush Avocado Cowash - WNBA - I thought this would be good after swimming but to start with I looked like I was rubbing a block of edam on my head in the communal showers and secondly my hair was clean but because it didn't lather it didn't feel clean. I've been using it up purely as conditioner and it's finally all gone. It did smell lovely.

One can of shaving foam. - Mr Hedgesparrow keeps getting them as Christmas presents but he uses a dry electric razor so it's down to me to use them up.

UUs:

Got one off the PP list - Botanics Exfoliating Scrub - I do like this and generally buy it because I get points offers on it or it's reduced but now I have my St Ives one I think I like this better. Only used it twice so we'll see how it goes long term

Hotel shower gel - that's them all gone - delighted! Treating myself to a No7 shower gel/exfoliator from my stash

Radox bath soak - I can now move onto a No7 bath soak from my stash - finally getting round to using up gift sets I bought/acquired from Christmas 2014!

Another UU for me:-

Full sized Marc Jacobs Honey EDT. I liked it. It was a gift from MrM from Xmas 2015. Not sure that I would buy/ask for it again.
