Have a question, if you get something with points and it was massively reduced and you only have 2 others in your stash.... does it count :whistle:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I forgive you alfiecat!!!!

I have some good news... I have FINALLY managed to use up the Palmers firming cocoa butter lotion!!!!!!!!! :j:j:j:j WIBA: NO. I hate it, it drags my skin even when I use it while my skin is still damp and doesn't feel remotely moisturising. Horrible stuff!!!!

congrats on using it up. I'm currently working my way through some moisturiser I hate, can't wait to be finished with it.

Today I finished 1 bottle of shampoo and 2 bottles of conditioner (very pleased as I don't think the conditioner was right for my hair, so glad to be rid of it)

Moisturiser, however, seems to be never ending

Nightmare saverholic!!! The worst ones always seem to last forever! What moisturiser is it?

I tried the most amazing hand cream today, I will own some in the very near future, its the best I have ever used. My Nuxe one in my handbang doesn't compare, nor does the Hamp Body shop nor crabtree & evelyn....or anything really...my hands are still soft from trying this (at lunch time, I've fed animals and walked dogs since). Its made by a herbalist though, and won't be going back near there for a month......I wonder how much of my stash I can finish in a month?

I think I maybe stocked up for the rest of the year!!

14 x Body Butter (200ml sizes, Body Shop, Boots, FCUK,Soap and Glory)

22 x body butters (50ml/90ml -travel sizes - Body Shop,Boots, FCUK, etc)

13 x hand creams (various)

8 x foot creams (various)

12 x mini body sprays (impluse)

11 x mini body scrubs (various)

25 x shower gels/ washes (various 200ml + sizes)

18 x shower gels /washes (mini travelsizes)

13 x body scrub (full size various)

soaps x 2

shampoo x 3 (favourite body shop banana)

conditioner x 2 (favourite body shop banana)

cleansing milk x 2 (soap and glory)

Thats my personal supply, either stuff from xmas prezzies, or brought cheap from Body Shop

---

Outside shed - cupboard in there

Thats full of shower gel, toothpaste, shampoo,deordrants - there brought in with the weekly shop, so I don't class as my supply as we all use them as family.

Thou to be honest (sorry father I may have trained you in the mse ways, but this is more to shower gels than radox on bogof etc.......) Shampoo I have converted him to nicer brands, toothpaste, we have 3 on the go, dd only use Aquafresh, I only use Ultrabrite, and his has his denture stuff..... there grab and use


TO BUY
After my list is there anything I need....

I think need cleanser, toner, mosituriser, face cream, if anyone could suggest some very reasonable priced brands, got sensitive skin, in my last year of being 30 sumthing......
so have decided to do something for me.....any suggestions would be very very grateful for, ideally that I can buy in Boots love the points xx

Just with being a mum, only work casual and am studying, so don't tend to wear make up for more than a couple of times a month, skincare routine needs to be simple, and although have a good stack of toilettries always get them for xmas, as feel to guilty paying some of the prices. xx

Sounds absolutely fab, its great if you find a product you like, def got to get some next month, don't want to run out!! xx

VALM

I've managed to use up a couple more items.

1) Full size LE hand wash. WIBA? No. As this is a family item I won't repurchase as MrM found it too girly smelling. We all prefer L'Occitane hand wash, particularly the Verbena one, and this is easier to buy direct from Debenhams. This one was in my kitchen. Have bottles of L'Occitane and Elemis hand washes on the go in the bathroom so the Elemis one will now be relegated to the kitchen to replace this one. Have another Elemis one in my stockpile as well plus about 5 bars of L'Occitane soap!

2) 100ml Molten Brown Rose Granati hand lotion. WIBA? Yes, and no. MB hand lotion is a HG product of mine however my favourite fragrances are White Mulberry and Blue Macquis. Whilst I'll definitely repurchase their lotion I don't think I'd repurchase the Rose Granti fragrance. Have a 300ml White Mulberry ready to replace this one as well as having an Elemis Lime and Ginger hand lotion on the go and another full Elemis one in the stockpile.

Won't be repurchasing either hand wash or lotion for some time.

skaps

70ml of dreaded body lotion to use up.
