Highly recommend Avon perfumes. Half the price of High Street and have wonderful scents.

Have 107 items due Xmas and hoping to get down to 70 bar a birthday in March where I received more. So will not need to buy apart from the essentials which is usually face products.

UU Percy & Reed dry shampoo. So torn by this product. It gives a lovely result. My hair looks really shiny with it but £20 for a dry shampoo when I can buy Batiste for £2. Batiste stops my hair from looking greasy so it works.

I had this and really liked it, but agree it’s just to expensive.

Thanks VALM, I've used Nail Envy before, is there a specific one for peeling like it says in the article or is it just the general one. I reckon in my case it is most likely iron as the last time I gave blood they wouldn't take it due to iron levels.

Cutex Nourishing Nail Polish Remover - WNBA ever, ever. This brand used to be excellent but they seemed to have reformulated them and added a load of oil in, it takes 10-15 minutes to remove polish and if it is a dark colour it just smears it all over my fingers.

One out used up today, 750 ml Bedhead Tigi Conditioner

Glad to see this gone. I must have had this for at least 5 years. It was just an ok conditioner, the best thing about it was the smell.

Wouldn’t rebuy better cheaper conditioners about.

I have tried both the specific peeling one and original however found the original worked better for me. Xx

Dolly - as well as peeling my nails were thin and broke for a pastime some were lifting from the nail bed and actually hurt, a lot of this was down to health issues which once diagnosed and treated resulted in improvement in many areas.

The owner of my local nail salon and some of the girls were chatting and advising me and two things that stood out were (as well as many on the list from ValM) were to make sure that no products containing formaldehyde are used and the owner said that unless she oiled nails and down to first finger joint twice daily her nails soon deteriorated.

Original and matte nail envy seem to work for me as base coats or on their own and I also really like Nails Inc Caviar base and top coats, and I love the Nails Inc flat bottle brushes.

1 UU - Elizabeth Arden 8 hour hand cream. This was really good but not sure if it is available to purchase anywhere. I got it from TK Maxx a while back. Would buy again if come across.

Last lot of this I got was on an EasyJet flight, might be worth looking on Ebay.

UU


BodyShop ginger shampoo, would not buy again as I find it strips the colour from my hair and I've got shedloads of Pantene to use.

I've got lots of samples of face creams that I wont use on my face, so going to try and get rid of those as a general body cream

I'm using Caviar base coat at the moment and I quite like it on its own too. Am I right in thinking most nail polish has formaldehyde in it? I know the Butter London brand doesn't but I found them completely rubbish, gorgeous colours but chipped immediately.
