  • :jWhoopee! Hurrah! Hallelujah!:j I have finally finished a seemingly never-ending 3squillion mls tub of sanctuary mestizo body butter! WIBA - erm, that would be a no, very good moisturiser but the sickly sweet smell was too much. Also finished the dregs of a clarins eau dynamisante body lotion which was lovely, and the last of a Thierry Mugler Angel body lotion - WIBA- probably not, but might drop some heavy hints around christmas time.

    Finished a shower gel this morning, only another 76 to go.

    I have a dilema now though, do I get out another shower gel from my stash to go with the perfume I'm currently using and end up with a partly used shower gel as I probably only have about a week or so until I finish my perfume or just use one of the generic shower gels I already have waiting to be used in the bathroom cupboard?

    Evening Ladies

    I have been avidly reading but not posting, I went to Glastonbury and came home with some sort of virus which totally knocked me off my feet for the last 6 weeks (I blamed the loos) :eek:.

    Have used all the Anne Semonin mini's shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, shower gel, hand cream & bath salts from the Ramada Hotel, WIUA no they were totally rubbish for a so called French premium skincare range.

    Tara Smith conditioner WIBA no totally useless hair felt & looked like straw.

    Dove Go Fresh WIBA nice smell probably if it was on offer with a voucher incentive.

    Sanctuary face wash WIBA yes I like this in the morning when I have a shower, but no need as I have a spare in the stash.

    Burt's Bees cuticle cream WIBA yes I love it but have a solar balm that I am now using.


    Aveeno body lotion WIBA unsure this one was a freebie, much prefer the BS body butters.

    Sold a few more items on Ebay so stash is now much more manageable.

    Evening all, have finished a massive Think Fruity body wash, I would def buy again - quite a green product, and a lot nicer than many of the more expensive ones I've tried. Also finished a sachet of Nivea. Oh, and a No 7 Lash Extensions mascara GWP size - would have bought it again, but I think they may have discontinued it.

    UU- L'Oreal Elvive shampoo (Red bottle for coloured hair) WIBA? Probably not, it got my hair clean but it seemed to get greasy quickly. My hair may be coloured but its not dry. Still got a bit of the matching conditioner but thats been relegated to shaving cream as I have now gone back to my fave- Aussie Mega S&C :T

    Used

    Enchanted Banana Drama body cream - WIBA? yes, if I didn't have 4 more pots to use!
    Sainsburys Value conditioner (for shaving legs) - WIBA? yes, cheap, and works well


    Bought (oops...)

    Sainsburys Value conditioner - see above
    Supersoft Coconut and Yoghurt shampoo and conditioner - was on buy 2 for £2

    and my BEST discovery

    Dawood and Tanner tooth cleanser - I HATE mint toothpaste, it burns my mouth so badly. I found this in a magazine and bought the Brazilian Lime one and it's a revelation. I'm brushing my teeth for longer and more thoroughly because it tastes great and my mouth isn't on fire any more!

    I have another UU :-)
    a Boots Mediterrian Pistachio milk & almond body butter WIBIA - No! - It smells gorgeous but I found it didn't sink it to my skin well at all. I think it came with a gift set I bought in the Boots 75% sale so will have a shower gel and soap to use up as well.
    No purchases to report either!
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
