    Well, the 'unveiling' of my new hairstyle to the world has been a huge success! Everyone who knew me and the hair I had before has loved it! :D

    I was half expecting while on my unofficial 3 minute toilet break/mad toilet dash(I don't get an official tea break on my 4 hour shifts) to look in the mirror and just be met with a ball of fuzz but every single hair was still in place! :eek:

    That alone gives me hope for my hair, I thought it was beyond everything. Clearly not! :D

    VALM you're right, I was very much in a rut with my hair up until having it cut yesterday. Until that point I was 0% happy with it. I am now about 85% happy with it. There is still about 2 inches at the ends which is dry, broken, damaged rubbish that needs cutting off, but all in good time...

    IN:
    Le Macaron gel nail kit

    Kickstarted this ages ago, and it arrived today. Looks great, and I can do my nails on the cheap now :)

    I've stuck a tube of hand cream on the kitchen and bathroom sinks as well, as for all my good intentions they mostly live in a drawer. My poor hands are in bits in is weather.

    UU

    Daniel Galvin Jr Organic Wild 'n' Crazy Kids Swim Shampoo & Body Wash 250ml - This lasted months so it was good value for money for an SLS-free shampoo. It was good for everyday use but not effective at removing chlorine. WMBA. Have replaced with Timotei one from the stash.

    Thankyou for the suggestions guys. :) i had a look online and i do like the sound of a few of the roger & gallett ones. May have to find a bigger m&s and have a smell when i get a chance.

    A little uu and some ins to report:

    UU:

    Lush beautiful shower gel sample- WBA as full size, already in stash. One of my favourites, smells beautiful and lathers up well.

    Lush no drought dry shampoo sample- WBA and already have full size stashed. I like the smell and it seems to work well. I just tip a bit onto my hairbrush and brush through. Can be messy but doesnt make my scalp itch like the aerosol ones do.

    Ins:

    Britney spears private show eau de toilette 30ml
    Britney spears private show body lotion 50ml
    Britney spears private show shower gel 50ml

    6. The Body Shop Seaweed Serum WNBA. This was originally Emma's and was donated to me when she left for Uni. I used it a little at that time then forgot about it. Found it again this week when tidying through the bathroom. Can't say I noticed any difference and sometimes on application it made my face feel sticky.
    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!

    So, a few updates to this list:-

    Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser
    Murad Clarifying Toner
    Garnier Sensitive eye make up remover.
    L'Occitane Verbena liquid soap (bathroom).
    Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream
    Boots nail polish remover
    [STRIKE] Lush Cup o Coffee[/STRIKE]
    Soap and Glory Scrub Your Nose In It
    Ole Hendrickson sugar glow mask.
    [STRIKE] Lush Snowflake soap[/STRIKE]
    Yorkshire soap company peppermint cream shower gel
    Yorkshire soap peppermint cream body lotion
    Hawaiian tropic body butter
    [STRIKE] Diamond resort body lotion (small tube). [/STRIKE]
    Eye cream
    Elemis superfood oil

    Finish 5 by Spring:-

    Benefit No Pressure cream eyeshadow
    Smashbox eyeshadow from Full exposure palette.
    Kat Von D Trooper eyeliner.
    Benefit Dallas powder.
    Lush Lemony Flutter.

    Not bad going, I think the Elemis products will go next. Have been using the No Pressure eyeshadow as a base the last couple of days but I do need to keep spraying it with toner as it's quite dry.

    So I have an IN: Beaver Professional Hydro Nutritive Moisturising Spray. Bought using Birchbox points so only had to pay a little towards it and postage.

    UU: Elemis Hydra-Nourish Night Creme. 15ml, came as part of a previous Birchbox.

    TA: Simple cleanser and toner bottle. Had them since forever so I think I should just chuck them now.
