    400ml L’Oreal Fibrology Conditioner 1/1 O.K. but not good enough to buy again.

    I am having my hair coloured again, decided that I was looking too washed out, it is expensive so I decided to buy some products to enhance the colour and hopefully make it last longer.

    IN
    355ml Hask Keratin Protein Shampoo 1/1
    355ml Hask Blue Chamomile & Argan Oil Conditioner 2/2

    Two more hair products on order:D

    My skin is playing up ATM, I have swapped one cleanser and one moisturiser and added in an Elemis Pro-Radiance Flash Balm, hopefully will be able to revert to the other items when it has calmed down.

    One UU this afternoon:

    REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Gel 25ml sample WNB. I would never have used this as a face cleanser, as my skin prefers milk or cream cleansers. Used this up as a hand wash and it was a bit drying on my hands. I like the scent though.

    I'm going to have a nice bath tonight, so I'll have some more UUs later tonight.

    Another UU, I decided to do my evening skincare routine early tonight:

    Eve Lom Gel Balm Cleanser 5ml sample WB as a full size. This was nice. I've got a 30ml bottle of this in my stash as well, and this is really nice. I used it as my second cleanse and this really cleaned my skin well. It's left my skin feeling soft and nice.

    Yes, I really like her videos, although if she didn't ramble so much they could be half as long and just as good!

    TA: Clinique Nude Pop lipstick. This had about 2mm left in it and had gone a bit funny, it was making my lips sore.

    I like watching Amber F. She had one of those Clinique lipsticks go bad on her too. Sad it smelt like Playdough. I had a Smashbox one go bad on me that also smelt that way.

    Two UUs this evening:

    Lush Bewitched Bubble Bar WDBA. This was such a lovely scent. I will definitely buy another one if it comes back from Halloween at Lush.

    Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Bath & Shower Oil 3ml sample WMB as a full size but only as a treat. This was nice. Helped to relax me before I go back to work tomorrow. Very nice.

    I am considering doing a new-year clear-out, I have some older but still in date Lancome face creams that I will try and sell on the more reliable Facebook groups, I'm sick of all the messing about on eBay!

    I might even just give it to the refuge near me as it didn't cost me much and might give someone in need some genuine luxury.

    I’ve even found selling on Facebook to be a real hassle lately. I posted recently about this. When I sold that last Cleansing bar the woman sent me her address first, said someone else could vouch for her and then pled poverty after Christmas! She has paid now but only after me saying I’d make it available for sale elsewhere.

    kadison/VALM - I've stopped selling on ebay altogether now, it is just too open to exploitation by the buyers, the seller pays the fees but are hung out to dry by ebay. Shame really as when you have a good transaction it is great.

    A flurry of UUs ths morning:

    The Body Shop Strawberry Shower Gel 60ml WDBA. This is a classic shower gel. The scent makes me feel a bit nostalgic, and I always like the sweet strawberry smell :)

    Lush Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub sample WMB as a full size but I'm not sure. This scent would seem better for the summer. Nice scrub though.

    Lush Snow Fairy Body Conditioner sample WDB as a full size and I'm glad I received a mini tub as part of a Christmas gift set. Love this scent.

    The Body Shop Shea Nourishing Body Butter 200ml WDBA. I love this stuff. I use it on my feet after every shower and it helps soften them a bit more.
