An item which has not worked for me, should have thrown it out ages ago:-

Well, there's a discovery. I wasn't 100% earlier, something I ate, so didn't try out my NBI, but I can report that unwanted shampoo is an excellent substitute for laundry gel. I've been running low, but it was too windy to go shopping on the trike, plus I'm wanting to declutter as much as possible at the moment, I'm in that mood.
I have several unloved half bottles of shampoo that will now be going that laundry gel route. The shampoo doesn't lather as much as you would expect in the machine. To be sure of stain removal, I put a scoop of Vanish style powdered stain remover into the dispenser drawer and put the shampoo in a laundry gel dispenser, directly on top of the clothes in the drum.
Obviously this isn't cost-effective unless the shampoo is unwanted and can't be given to a friend or women's refuge, mine are half bottles so not practical to donate.
My friends mostly all seem to have the same hair as me so what I don't like they don't either.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -

Few UU here and should be some more later on too -
3: pixi glow tonic 250ml - replaced with the same
4: alpha h daily essential moisturiser spf50 50ml - liked this a lot, bought a nip and fab daily spf to try instead as it's cheaper but may go back to the alpha h one. Also interested to try the body shop spf, saw someone mention it earlier and have heard good things about it.
5: sample of 111skin nocturnal eclipse recovery cream - too rich for my skin, was quite greasy. Just looked and it's £160!! Glad I didn't like it! The ingredients list doesn't look great to me either
Glad you enjoyed your holiday Valm.0 -

Another uu
Elemis Herbal Lavender Repair Mask 75ml - this is very pleasant to use and easy to remove but I see no benefit from using it.
