Yep, its Naraji!

This is my least favourite of the MB lotions I have tried (got a three pack from Cheshire Oaks a while ago containing this one, Rose Granati (unopened and untried) and Blue Macquis (would buy this one again)). My daughter says that the smell reminds me of her nanna. It reminds me of M&S Magnolia.

I have no more deep conditioning treatments or hair oils or coconut oil. I did have a look today but the choice was daling and I wanted to get two different ones, so decided not in the spirit of the thread and put both back. I use normal conditioner to wash hair with, and also as a leave in conditioner often.....and have long very curly hair than is fine but prone to frizz. Any ideas if I give in which ONE to try? (The best thing ever was kelp help, now discontinued by John Frieda, and I quit like the little yellow tubes produced by L'oreal, can't remeber product name though).

Sorry Lynz, I didn't see this post before I left. They did have LOTS of 900ml bottles of Tresemme shampoos and conditioners for 1.99 a bottle. Best I've seen them is 2 for £6 in Tesco at the mo.
I just bought 4 bags of Reece's Pieces and the week's quota of juice and cereal then scarpered before I gave in to temptation :eek:

I love these, yum.

I've finished that bottle of perfume!

I went a bit mad and sprayed all the the remainder on me. Somehow, it was more than I realised, so now I must smell like a Parisian brothel! Oh well...:rotfl:

lol:rotfl::rotfl:. ive done this before thought to myself oh there is just a bit left and kept spraying it and started to choke myself lol.

Still using Green People's Aloe shower gel and a body buff. Lots of bubbles:j:j. Really like M&S Royal Jelly body butter. Not keen on the M&S Royal Jelly moisturiser but it makes a great hand and foot cream (needed to add a little bit of mild olive oil to increase the moisturisation).

So true, i love Naranji too am using the handwash at the mo. Bayliss and Harding do a similar one, mandarin and something?? Also Home bargains have a similar one to the bayliss and harding/ Mb one , which is also mandarin and something, bottle is very similar to the baylis one in size/ shape and has a similar design to the MB one iykwim again this is mandarin and something else, sorry to be vague but i cannot remember the fragrances for the life of me, just that they all smelt very much the same. But there is a big price difference
MB is approx £15
B&H is approx £4.99
Home Bargains (cannot remember the actual brand) 89p.
Hope that helps, you could always decant the home bargains one into the MB one and i wouldn't know the difference:o.

Hahaha, I do bath! I just only have a shower at uni (en-suite)

I had some lovely gifts at Christmas, I enjoyed the Boots 75% sale and then I sorted out the drawer under my bed yesterday. Oh dear.... :o:o

My name is Luxor4t and I am a toiletries-aholic.

It all started when I first joined mse in the [STRIKE]good[/STRIKE]..I mean bad, bad, bad old days of Boots glitches and Tesco H&B booklets.
Suddenly I had substantial piles of wonderful toiletries (as well as lots of Boots & tesco points).
The offers and glitches continued and so did I.
You know the rest.

I have designated quite a lot of the Boots 75% sale stuff as birthday & Xmas 2010 presents.
I have put some bath & shower gels to donate to chapel.
I know that DD will relieve me of some of the face wipes.....
BUT
enough is enough so I'm joining this challenge (and so is DH who never buys any toiletries but will just have to get used to smelling like a flower after showering or bathing )

I'm on my last tube of moisturiser, I think, need to search all the stash to make sure, so will have to brave Boots at one point!!

Try not to go to Boots for it!! Try Poundland, Semi Chem, 99p stores etc first xo

Have jsut had a feeling about the Molton brown hand lotion. Ive sneakily opened the bottle so you cant tell and smelt it :eek: OMG it reminds me of " a hippy shop" that reeks of joss sticks. Not for me. So I will ebay this before we inadvertently open it. :beer: Anyone any idea what it will fetch- i think this costs 15.00 in MB.

They're £14 new (I got a few for the gift stash with the Red voucher in Nov) - not sure what they would fetch on eBay as you would have to factor in postage and they are quite heavy!!! Have you checked to see what other are charging for postage on them?

I don't like Naran Ji either, I got the White Mulberry lotion for my mum for Christmas (she loved it and was sooo impressed with the packaging, bless her) and treated myself to the Amber Cocoon, yummmmm!!! I have been a good girl and not opened it yet as I have oodles of hand cream to use up first, but I am counting the days till I can!!

Dumb Blonde news! I have packaged up some half-used toiletries and brought them to my mum's. I've put them in a pretty basket in my room at her house, so I don't have to keep carrying stuff there and back when I stay over (I am so daft sometimes!). This also frees up some space at my place, yay! :T:T:T

My mate came over the other night with a big tub of 'Fresh' bath stuff for me (it includes bath bombs, body lotion, shower gel etc), so that is more to add to the stash! I love the smell of it all though, so will look forward to using this stuff in time (I used the bath crystals this morning).

I have one more application of a night creme left and looking forward to throwing the tub in the bin tonight (I have had it for ages). I had to throw away a couple of products including a Nivea light facial moisturiser because it just sat on my skin and didn't get absorbed, I hate the feeling that you can rub your moisturiser off your face. I also threw away an almost finished facial gel wash (Nivea too I think) because I didn't like the way it cleaned my skin - I have been quite spotty (which I am sure isn't what you want from a face wash)! I have almost finished my M&S aloe bubble bath and can't wait to throw that bottle in the bin too!!

I have been exfoliating and body buttering away and my skin feels amazing and smells so good! I love actually using my products and not just hoarding them!!
