Welcome VaniliaCheese

Another UU for me today! Going well here I finished up a free sample sachet of Nutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash. WIBA? Yes, I think I would. The smell is gorgeous and my skin does feel nice and smooth for it. I have another of the free samples (from a different magazine) to use up and some other face washes, but that is on my list

Used up a bubble bath, which I've been using as shower gel, and I have a hand cream which will probably be finished tonight or tomorrow morning.

I have to confess I bought a Dove hand cream yesterday (the 1 I got a sample of recently), although I don't actually need any yet, but in my defense it was reduced to 97p from over £2 and I did only buy 1, whereas I would usually buy at least 2 or more if something I want is on such a good offer, (might have to get some more if it's still on offer next time I go there, lol!). Also bought a couple of body sprays, as I have almost finished the 2 I have, and I don't want to run out in this hot weather.

Hiya
At long last I have some UU to report.

Elemis Pro-collagen radiantly smooth body cream. WIBIA no. I dont think it was worth the price didnt seem to be really special as the price might suggest.

Elemis Lime blossom cleanser (was a supersize) WIBIA No still have 4 in the stash plus other brands:o

Elemis Lime and ginger body scrub WIBIA yes, I adore the smell and the way that it is very scrubby but still leaves your skin moisturised, but in the stash there are other brands which I must use first

Liz Earle Orange Flower Body Wash WIBIA perhaps, but not until there is no stash!! I like the smell but I dont love it. Mind it did seem to make the shower a bit slippery. Several times I nearly went bum over boob. Mind slipping in the shower sure does wake you up and test your reflexes!!!

Can you spot a theam here I was watching July beauty day on QVC and to my surprise I didnt want anything. In fact the beauty expert was beginning to get on my nerves. Im I the only one that thinks shes shouting all the time.
Yep I'm a reformed QVC aholic :A

Hope all is well with you all
Enjoy your pampering

peedie - your comment about QVC's beauty expert... makes me smile. She is a domineering presenter. Very often if I want to make my own mind up about a product now I will put the TV on mute. As her voice can grate. Plus some of the language they use is a bit overused now. You know this is an investment in your skin (well anything is, even a 99p tube of Nivea soft). It's a natural product, um no, all that means is that it has some natural products in it but still has chemicals (read the labels!). Plus the whole look what you are getting for just £3.55p more (use this a lot on TSVs), well if you want to buy everything and use everything then ok, but often those other products are body lotions and other what I call filler products.

NO use ups at the moment - it's probably because I'm now getting into the habit of buying what I like and need!!! This thread has changed my life.

I still have a lot of moisturisers on the go but I do go through these quite quickly. Probably because I am generous and not only apply on my face but also my neck.

Right enough waffle! Nighty night! Happy pampering.

Mineallmine I'm pleased its not just me that has noticed.

I know their job is to sell the products but the different presenters sometimes do overdo the hard sell sometimes.
The thing I cant get over is that for a reasonably intelligent 49yr old, I have fallen for it:o
But no longer.

Two small UUs: another bath fizzer used in bowl of water for my feet and a sachet of Palmolive with Pure Cashmere shower gel (nothing special and so won't be buying).

I love this thread too, Jackxxx Looking forward to the August thread already!!

I was due to go on holiday today but due to a bereavement in the family we've cancelled and we'll book a holiday for later in the year. I've therefore had to put away toiletry bags bulging with sun creams etc. I've decided not to unpack them and hopefully I'll be using them later on.

Just bought a Sanctuary face wash using the £5 off voucher in Boots, came to £1.99. I don't feel too bad about it as I only have half a bottle of non-exfoliating cleanser at home so it's to put in the stash until it's needed.

Where are you guys shopping for this cleanser? I've been to two stores - Sheffield and Leeds and they're retailing for 9.99 each. The staff said that the only offer is 3 for 2 and even with the £5 voucher doesn't work out at 2.50!

It's marked as £6.99 on the shelves in Manchester Market Street - I don't think it's the hot cloth cleanser that's being discussed elsewhere, it's this one:
