Re P&P

Best time to buy is when it's on 3 for 2, which is it is frequently. Brings the cost down to around £13/£14 each, which then makes it hard to buy when it's normal price (creams and serum all around £20+)

It's on 3 for 2 at the moment and they are still giving out the £5 off vouchers. The best way to work it out is if something is £10 or more it's best to buy on 3 for 2 with one £5 off voucher; if it's less than £10 then buy individually with a £5 off each time.

Thanks for the info guys - I'm confuzzled most of the time by the offers! :wall:

Ta da!!!
Elle McPherson body butter has now died!!! Hurrah!
I now have a Dove body lotion to plough through, its the only one I have left that doesn't have fake tan, sparkly bits or a strange whiff about it.

The Clarins face cream is starting to show signs of use too - can almost see the bottom of the pot now - probably a week or two left in it - onwards to a Clinique from the stash then.

Will probably use up the last but one Lush bath bomb tonight too - not fussed on them really but won't throw them away.

Managed to finish up a cleanser and shower gel this morning, that's 11 and 75 left respectively and the cleanser total does take into account the LE one I took out of my stash for my hols in just over a week's time :j

I've kind of just acknowledged that new house doesn't have a shower. I love baths, but I also like a quick shower when I've been doing smelly mucky things with animals. still its very low on the list of what will need doing.

No use ups to report.

Night night ladies!

Have been offline all evening watching all the political goings on, very interesting. I thought G Brown left office with dignity, he will be glad of that (I was no fan of his economic policies but can see the good in him as a person - can't bloody stand Tony Blair). Wonder what the Tories will bring...

Very much agree with this - and how gorgeous are his two little boys. So cute! Just catching up with the news at the moment, watching todays lovey dovey press conference_pale_

Another use-up here today - I am doing well this week! Finished a John Frieda Brilliant Brunette conditioner - this is a regular product for me and I have several more in the cupboard thanks to the Tesco glitch. WIBA? - yes, undoubtedly. Suits my hair and leaves it lovely and soft and shiny. Not quite sure yet if I shall go onto another one of those, or something different.

I'm also loving the JFBB range. I'm using the liquid shine ones at the moment, definitely agree about it leaving hair looking lovely and shiny. This range has definitely improved the condition of my hair, so I'm really glad I stocked up when the tesco glitch was on:D

Interesting to read everyones reviews on the P&P range. I have never really rated it (not a No7 fan in general anyway) but may give the serum another chance. I think I have a small sample from a previous GWP stashed away somewhere so must go hunt it out.

Just started using another shower gel yesterday. Its a BS mango one and it smells yummy, lathers really well and left my skin feeling great. It restored my faith in the BS after the crappy cocoa butter one that I finished up last week.

Another use-up here today, this might well be the last for a while though! finished a Clinique Take the Day off sample size earlier on, this is my last of these too. WIBA? I've reviewed this before and the answer is still a resounding YES!! It's great, works really effectively and is gentle on the eyes too. I have a couple of cheaper ones in stock to try next so I shall go onto one of those.

Another one here who likes the P&P Serum by the way - I find it helps foundation glide on much more smoothly and at weekends I quite often just use the serum with a dab of tinted moisturiser over the top. Is there a serum in the new Line Lift range too? Might try that next time if so.

Evening all,

Used up:
Regis intense treatment for hair - WIBA. Probably. It's about £12 but if left in for a bit does work well. So I've used 2 of my shampoo/conditioner stash recently (circa 17 items).

Bought said magazine to get another Body Shop body butter in Mango (yummy!) as I nearly have used the other one up already. When finished I will also get the Champneys miracle body butter. Cheaper than Body Shop and a lovely smell too. Yay for body butters!

May have to revisit the make-up bag. I have a couple of products which I'm struggling to use (just dont cut it).

Happy using up stuff, avoiding Boots etc!:A

I went to town, and didnt go to the BS, so still havent investigated the lemon BB yet....


oh - and how good am I.... I went out on a jolly for work,stopped for fuel, picked up a whispa and PUT IT BACK !!!! ( I know- this should be on Tara's chocolate thread!!)

Used up a sachet of Jergens Ultra Hydrating body moisturiser with jojoba oil. The oil in it seems to have formed a barrier on my skin - my skin feels really nice. I have thought about buying from this range before as it contains no parabans but the lack of fragrance has always put me off. WIBA? Yes, for times when you want to wear a body lotion which doesn't compete with your perfume.

Ooh, I remember seeing that being advertised last year but just figured it was greenwash, didn't realise they were paraben free! Also nice to know it's quite a thick one too, I have sensitive facial skin but quite dry skin everywhere else. Thanks for the info footymadgal! :beer:
