I love Feria - I've been using it for YEARS!!! French Roast, #45 - it's perfect, and so gorgeous in the sunlight. I just hope they don't ever discontinue it till I'm just too gray to use it any longer. Oh - and I've noticed that if I leave it on my roots for 30 minutes instead of whatever the instructions say, I get better gray coverage.

And Rimmel mascara is the best $1.99 mascara I have ever used!!!! I used to pay a zillion dollars for Lancome, but it's just not any better and not worth the expense.

SOOOOOO LOOOOOVE TARGET!!!!

Ha HA! I'm already sitting on a substantial stash of Boots' Curling Creme in my basement! bwa ha ha... you won't catch ME short!

Sorry to bump, but meauxna, I investigated the Boots Curling Creme after I ran out of the ridiculously expensive Frederic Fekkai stuff I got for Christmas. Used it for the first time today and my god, you are right to sit on a stash of that stuff -- my hair looks like I went to the hairdresser's!!!

Thanks for the hot tip! :thumbs:

Woohoo! Are you a curly girl too? Wait til tomorrow--it will be even better if you just mist a little water on it!

(making my own lavender & rosemary spritz currently)

Dontcha feel like a total sucker too.. I mean *how* cheap was that stuff! If you still want to spend a lot of money when you get to the US, try Aveda.

hmm.. haven't been over to see what mumsie brought me back from Mark's this time.. I hear it might be underpants! w00t!

I got a hint of that when I noticed that Boots started putting both metric and imperial values on a lot of their products that they sell in the UK. Guess they can't be arsed to print two sets of labels. :D

I am not a curly girl but a very wavy one. I spent 9 years fighting the wave because my SFB ex-husband liked my hair straightened, and like an idiot I did it every single day. Once I moved out, I made tentative steps towards setting free the waves, letting it be natural every couple of days but still blow-drying it straight most of the time (although I binned my GHD straighteners/hair fryers). Finally, I had enough in October of last year and stopped using my hairdryer, and formed a deep and meaningful relationship with curl creams/potions/etc. Now I can sleep longer, my hair looks healthy and sexy and I no longer shed tons and tons of hair. I can't honestly say I miss my hairdryer or my straightener one bit! :no:

I still have the hairdryer but only the hubby uses it -- I am hoping someday he'll learn to love HIS waves too!

It's not cheap here either. Well, it sort of is when you compare it to Clarins or some premium brand, but it's not the cheapest stuff either.
