Also while we’re on the subject of Nivea, their Love Sunshine shower gel. It’s £1 and it smells like holidays in a bottle.

Can anyone recommend a good hyaluronic moisturiser?

I've been using this. It's usually around £6 on club card offers. Cannot report results wise yet but it's a nice moisturiser and I'm prone to breakouts and have experienced no problems on that front so would recommend.

Can be anything that gives great value for money, cheers you up, or is even free!

I think hair dye from the supermarket or wherever is fantastic value. For only a few pounds you can dramatically change your look and I find my hair always looks quite shiny afterwards, the fab conditioner that they include probably. Obviously a bad reaction is a potential hazard (not that I ever do a patch test, been okay so far). I’m having a purple phase at the moment.

I‘m not putting down the services of a professional hairdresser, by the way, and realise that some people would prefer to pay for their expertise etc.

I use the Knight and Wilson blue hair dye and it’s AMAZING!

The most pleasant scent I've ever smelled
View attachment 1740954

Have you tried this perfume https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Katy-Perry/Meow-13710.html it smells a lot like this shower gel

 

[EyeLoveIcelands]

I will definitely be trying this!
What’s your favourite flavours ladies? Vegetable has to be mine followed by curry!

I’m not sure if they’re the same ones, but I got a two pack of crop top style bras, slightly ribbed, from Tesco. Great quality, and I wear them all the time. Matching knickers as well!

They're not the ones I meant, mine are underwired standard bra shape. But I've got the bralette crop top ones too - very comfortable

On the subject of tampons I was feeling cheap so bought boots own brand. I feel like the applicator was a bit stiff compared to tampax but other then that exactly the same and only £1 for a box of 20!

I lived in Australia for a year, on a working holiday visa, about twenty five years ago, and I always remember how, for morning tea, in one office I was temping in, there would be a plate of fairy bread, although I'd forgotten it was called that
Being from Ireland, I'd never seen it before.
They also served up plates of really small meat pies, I was fascinated how different it was to a UK or Irish coffee break!

I lived in oz for a few years as a child, I remember seeing this for the first time at a birthday party and wanting to like it as it looked so fun but...

lidls own version of philidelphia ,the full fat version ,is better than philidelphia imo!

Aldis is lovely too!

@Jaybtee I love that red box cheesy pasta. My Mr retches at the look and smell of it

I think I had a look once but the people on there don't seem to read the books I do.

Oh gosh I thought it pretty varied but now I’m interested in what your genre of preference is? Maybe you can broaden my reading horizons if you have any recommendations

 

[Pesky Tarian]

Is it any good at holding the hair in place, please?

Hi yes, you can do a style build up a few layers of spray and it will last all evening (on my hair type at least).

I bought their own version of Penguins recently, they go by the name of ‘Seal’


Or Asda ‘Puffin’ - I love how it’s so blatantly obvious that they’re doing it!

its so hilarious they clearly push as far as what they can get away with

 

[Sancrow]

Super market branded cans of bitter.

 

[esoes]

Love this thread and all the tips! Anyone got any recommendations for a good high SPF CC cream?

Morrison’s baby wipes are good. They are about 75p.

I have now read the Trisha Ashley book Wedding Dress Repair Shop.
No, it didn't grab me. I kept glazing over and my mind wandering whilst reading it, but the story is good so why don't I like it?
Possibly as it packed a lot in, so was confusing in parts. I had a vague feeling the timeline wasn't right but couldn't be bothered to check back in the book, and some of the sentences didn't make sense (not proof read?).
So I'm glad I didn't automatically buy it in hardback. It would probably make more sense if I read it all again so I might buy it in future if it turns up for £2 in The Works.

I really appreciate that I think I’ll take it off my birthday list!
I’ve found her books can be a bit like that, although I enjoyed the last one

Maybelline fit me concealer and maybelline eye eraser are fab especially for the price

It’s my favourite of the cheaper make-up ranges.

I bought one of these microfibre face cloths last week from Superdrug and they are unreal! So soft and thick, and SO much better than the Elemis and Elizabeth Arden cloths I’ve used in the past! And only £1.49!

Do you just throw them in a normal wash after every use?

Sally Hansen cuticle remover £5'ish, lasts ages & very effective for removal, then pretty much any oil will maintain condition, i use NSI oils mainly, only 2-3 drops for each hand.

Thank you, I'm a big fan of SH cuticle remover! Yeah, it's something moisturising I'm after for all the catchy bits of sad skin around my nails - that oil looks good and I could probably be trusted not to spill it by my bed, just about
