Purple shampoo. The bleach London one is good on a budget or the olaplex / Kevin Murphy one. Apply to dry hair for 5 mins max and shampoo with another shampoo. It should brighten it up and takes out any brassy tones. Don’t leave it on for too long or it will stain purple.
Thanks. It’s not a terrible colour, I just need to brighten it a bit

I didn’t consider applying it to dry hair. Seemingly I’m not very smart! Thanks for this tip!

I've just used a Loreal hair dye - think it was 6.11 dark ash blonde 🤔
Anyway, it came with 2 purples for brassiness - a shampoo and conditioner. 😯
I bought the Fanola purple shampoo and conditioner, but I’m not using conditioner at the moment whilst I use K18 and I found Fanola good but very drying, so I was applying a normal conditioner afterwards. I’m now thinking the purple shampoo dry, then normal shampoo, then K18 might be the way forward for me!

It’s sad that young women feel the need to do this. Societal pressure + vanity = a woman’s tax. All the money we waste on products for what? Bad enough me searching for the holy grail of this and that and ditching it after a few uses, but all the money on tweakments at young ages is terrifying. At what point will they stop? That retiree’s story shows it’s not just younger women who fall for the blandishments of shopping tv, Instagram advertisers (they are not influencers, they are salespeople).

Sick of having thin patchy eyebrows that I need to fill in daily - unfortunately they fell victim to the overplucking/grooming trend of the noughties and I want the lovely full brows of my teens back! Would love to only have to use a bit of eyebrow gel in the mornings. Can anyone recommend a good eyebrow growth serum that isn’t too pricey and actually works?

Adult daughter called me earlier.... "WHY CAN I NOT BUY FRANKIE JEANS!!!?" Had to laugh. Pointed her in the direction of Pull and Bear as well.
Can anyone recommend a good full coverage foundation please?
I'd agree with this:
Can’t beat double wear
If you're near any of the outlets such as Cheshire Oaks etc, I've had luck buying Double Wear in the Cosmetic Company.

The ordinary one is really nice. Noticed a difference quickly and it’s cheap enough I’ll actually repurchase unlike others.

Any recommendations for eye creams that aren’t super expensive? About to go on maternity and trying to save money.

I’ve enjoyed a good pedicure/foot massage during pregnancy - especially towards the end when my feet have been swollen/bit achey.
And I usually hate my feet being touched!

I actually bought myself a watch in the end. Was going to buy myself one when I got my promotion but that didn’t happen when I told them I was pregnant, so I bought it now 😊 Vinted purchase, Vivienne Westwood ❤

I’m literally looking at Marc Jacob’s watches on Vinted 😂

I’m glad you got something that appeals to you
Sorry you didn’t get your promotion, you get something better instead ❤
