    Hi, which MB fragrance is it? Not that I'm interested in buying - I got a White Mulberry one for Christmas and also have a smaller Rose Granati on in my stockpile. Am using a small Naranji at the moment and would say it's my least favourite fragrance. I find that these lotions keep my hands moisturised all day.

    Yep, its Naraji!

    Just had a thought when trying to think of ways of making body lotion and using up stuff I have. I have a large tub of coconut oil, which is nice but very - well - oily so I'd like to use as a base for a lotion. I was trying to think of stuff to mix it with when I remembered I have some old (ie about 3+ years) sun tan lotion in the loft, which has probably lost its potency as a sun filter. I wonder if it would make a nice body lotion.

    I think I might whizz some together in my food processor and see what happens.

    I'll report back when I've tried it.
    years ago I used coconut oil as a suntan oil(I know it just cooked me but at the time we all did it!)a little boy near me on the beach asked his mum for a coconut biscuit,she said we don't have any but he said yes we do I can smell them:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:......I pretended to be asleep!

    I LOVE Naranji!

    Just this morning finished a tube of Olay Total Effects daily moisturiser. I bought 6 of these in a Tesco glitch, the were £1.66 instead of somewhere round about the tenner mark. That's 2 gone since November, so technically I should reach June without buying any more day time moisturiser.
    Popping out to Home Bargains in a mo, hope there isn't anything in the toiletries dept that's too good to resist!
    OH goes out to band practise on a Sunday night, so I'll be doing some serious pampering tonight. Out comes the S&G!! :)
    Keep up the good work ladies!

    Lynna can you have a look in HBs and see if there is any NIvea Visage, OXYGEN night. They had them some time ago for 1.99 and this is agorg product ( not sure its worth 9.00 though as revitalift is cheaper and slightly richer)

    :j Just realised that I went to Boots yesterday and only left with a Star Trek mug. Didn't even think about spending extra to get a voucher.

    Also realised I dont like "lotions" much prefer "creams". I have thirsty skin and lotion seems to just slick around.

    Me too! Lotions always seem to "sit" on my skin & take loads of rubbing in, I much prefer creams, and will always buy them in the future.

    Finished off a body spray today so that's another one off the list. Can't say that the toiletries shelf is looking much better yet though!

    ETA - Also decanted a travel size bottle of shower gel into the big bottle of shower gel (it's the same, just smaller) so that's another one gone now too.
