Oh wow Tara - thats really pretty

Im off to bed too - up at 6 tomorrow for the horse and early shift.... take care all xxxx

Yes, I had my eye on it for a week or so but didn't think it would go into the sale... I am very happy.

p.s. QONMW, great idea making a list of WIBAs! I am already making a mental note to stick to body butter rather than lotion in future, it is so much nicer and actually dries in quicker! And it doesn't feel all wet and cold (not nice in this weather).

Also ((((((hugs)))) to thevicster xoxoxo

Right, I really need my beauty sleep lol. Night!!

I've now got a spreadsheet which will hopefully enable me to remember the stuff to go for again. Oddly enough all my Clinique stuff seems to be "Yes I would!"

Me to re the beauty sleep - Night all!

I 'had to' buy 2 bottles of shampoo at work today! Discontinued lines and very cheap! But I did really well 'cos there were baskets full and I didn't buy loads! So thats 84p I've spent since Xmas!

Bronnie

Ah these are my fave! How about something like FCUK polished range, they do a body souffle thats quite warm, but fresh too? Sanctuary Mande lular (sp) is also quite lovely without being musky/ foody lol.

Thanks for these ideas Nab. I've got an FCUK spray of DD's which I was going to use as room freshner, but the fragrance is light and lovely, so I think it'll be nice to use in the summer FCUK. Sanctuary I had last year and liked, but have heard a few on here saying they don't like recently and strangely that had half put me off for some silly reason! Will go and have a sniff around at the weekend

Body Shop Vitamin E body butter is lovely, they also have Aloe which is nice and neutral smelling. Or the Shea... which happens to be half price today only!!! Their body butters really are gorgeous xo

Ah! hadn't thought of the Vit E one, I keep going through the BS website list of body butters and none of the fragrances is appealing to me!! How does Shea smell?

You could try this company: http://www.bodyline.co.uk/mailorder/category.php?categoryid=8

I haven't used their body butters before, but have tried other products and they are quite nice.

Thanks for the link. :T They seem to be have some nice homespun style products and nice for gifts too. Might treat DD for Easter this year instead of choccie!!

Ah see Bronnie, if I didn't love fcuk sooooooo much I would consider sending you some. I'm not a fan of food fragrances. I like zingy. So minty and other green herbs. I like citrusy (maybe they seem too sour too eat when at the zingy-ness I like?).
I'd never even heard of/ looked at fcuk until I got a set for Christmas from a friend. I was then round her house and had to go to the loo. She had all of that range in her bathroom and has BAD eczma. When I smelt it, it was divine. I bought her a fabby set (trolley dolly or some such, she was an air hostess at the time and I thought it was funny!). Then I started using it (but not much). I've had fcuk gifts from her for a couple of years and didn't really use it. Strangely enough, now I'm using it (Sept onwards) I got Ted Baker (which I don't want to rave about) for Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finished off my tube of Elemis Maximum Moisture cream today and am sad to see it go. WIBA? - yes but it's expensive so it will have to wait. I have been using my stockpile up for a while and am now down to my last pot of moisturiser (which is non Elemis PCMC - I like this as my day cream but don't find it as effective at night and have a few pots of this). If I get to the end of my last pot (Boots Time Delay) and am feeling flush I'll buy the Elemis one. If not, I also like LE Skin Repair Moisturiser so may get this instead. x

Yesterday I re-painted my nails and am now wearing Leighton Denny She's in Fashion which is gorgeous fuschia pink. x

Oh no!
I really shouldn't have checked on S&G's FB page this morning. They have a new gift set out today - 'A Butter Suite' - 3 body butters in tubs, including 'the daily smooth'. God, I think they've been reading this thread! I've been desperate for the daily smooth in a tub rather than a tube.I REALLY don't know if I can resist this with 1/3 off at Boots. They have something new called 'Glow Getter' too, luckily bronzing/tanning stuff doesn't interest me.
Help!

eklynne, I saw that too, but they seem like small sizes. Not very good value if they are!! You must resist! :rotfl:

My skin is feeling baby soft atm with all this body buttering and scrubbing! Woo!

DH has commented a lot on how lovely and soft I feel. , and he loves helping me butter myself up when he's home.

They're 150ml, so 3/4 the size of a Body Shop one. So at £9.33 with 1/3 off at Boots just now actually makes it quite a good buy. Sorely tempted

In other news, an FCUK Pure Showerscrub finished and I'm now on to my 3rd last tube of Hand Food. My L.A.M.B perfume is nearly done too which makes me sad as it's become a bit of a favourite this past week or so (lots of people seem to notice and like it). Going to move on to JLo Glow when it's done as I have a half finished 100ml bottle of it that I found in a handbag yesterday .
Hope all is well ladies. My nails (and generally the whole of me) are a state today as I was helping mum clear out the loft last night. Day off today so will attempt to make myself look and feel presentable again. Probably won't even attempt to make myself smell nice for OH coming in as it's lamb fajitas for dinner and that's the only smell he'll care about! :rotfl:
