Lighthearted.

Just made me laugh that it's out of stock everywhere. Even Amazon has run out.

More precious than toilet roll!

@Soubriquet oh so Boots will refuse to sell non-essentials to customers now?

DaphneFanshaw · 24/03/2020 17:17

I popped to Superdrug on Saturday to get some tampons and I bought some make up and hair dye at the same time.
I’m a key worker and will be back in 6 days when I and back at work.
I am quite relaxed about a lot of things but need concealer to cover up the black bags under my eyes.

MrsMGE · 24/03/2020 17:18

I'm also going for the au naturel look, no make up on a daily basis. If we all survive this pandemic, we might end up looking younger (albeit with shit hair!)

Yes, I read something about a woman in Spain being denied a cactus in a hardware shop.
Essentials only.

Santaclauswhosthat · 24/03/2020 17:22

Hair dye is essential though! I am going to cause great alarm and terror to people who look at me without it.

JuneFromBethesda · 24/03/2020 17:23

I feel a little bit smug, I ordered 4 boxes of my usual from Superdrug last week, and already had 2 boxes in the cupboard. Not ashamed to be stockpiling hair dye, I'm not ready to go grey!

DaphneFanshaw · 24/03/2020 17:26
Grin That’s how I feel about concealer Santa. I could just wear a motor bike helmet and pretend it’s to prevent cross contamination.
DaphneFanshaw · 24/03/2020 17:26

I just need to get my hands on a helmet...

DaphneFanshaw · 24/03/2020 17:26

Are helmets essential items ?

GaraMedouar · 24/03/2020 17:27

I’m very glad I let my hair grow out a couple of years back and am fully grey (well more salt and pepper). I did have my hair cut though last week, luckily as it was getting rather bushy. My DS already needed a haircut badly - who knows what he’ll look like in 12 weeks! Bet he won’t let me at him with the clippers ! Grin

murasaki · 24/03/2020 17:27

I managed to get some in Boots today. I did buy medicine as well though, so maybe that's why.

soontobeanana · 24/03/2020 17:27

Ha ha - my Grandson said to me today, 'why is the end of your hair silver Nanny?'

Roselilly36 · 24/03/2020 17:29

That made me LOL 😂 priorities! I couldn’t care less about my hair atm to be honest.

Janaih · 24/03/2020 17:34

Eyeshadow makes an acceptable root touch up in an emergency.

Santaclauswhosthat · 24/03/2020 17:36

Yes helmets are essential PPE gear. 👍 This may not be a good long term solution to the conference call issue though.

DefinatelyAWeeGobshite · 24/03/2020 17:38

I have a pixie cut, it will absolutely not be lovely by the end of this Grin

Never mind embrace the grey, embrace the mullet!!!

Nonnymum · 24/03/2020 17:38

I got some root touch up from amazon last week. I haven't used it yet becaue I'm not going out and noone is visiting so hopefully it will last as long as I need it.

vodkaredbullgirl · 24/03/2020 17:38

Good job i got some last week then.

MrsMGE · 24/03/2020 17:39

I'm going for my rainbow colour dye + sporting a bun. New year, new me and all that! 🌈

I am letting my grey grow in, but did have to make sure i got wax strips for my tache!

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 24/03/2020 17:40

I tried to buy some over the weekend, but no, nothing to be had, only one dude if blonde and some reds.

Did find some expensive paracetamol though.

mumwon · 24/03/2020 17:42

@DaphneFanshaw dark glasses go for the mysterious sexy look

Yester · 24/03/2020 17:42

I was due a haircut 4 weeks ago. Missed it due to work. Then have been really ill for 2 weeks. Now lockdown. I look like Jimmy fucking Cranky.

Runmybathforme · 24/03/2020 17:43

Asda had plenty today, no way am I going out ,or staying in , looking like an old bag. Which I would.
