What's your Clarin's blue bath stuff? What does it smell of? :o

Is that the super restorative one?I'm fairly indifferent about the face creams in that range for the price, but that face mask is one ama.zing product, especially after using the face scrub.

£150 on the red range? That'll be a very small bag with 3 products in then?

If you're under 50, don't even ask about the Clarins "red range.".....the price it is, better you don't know :rotfl:

LOL to Jacks!!!

See you're running out of lip balm then...:rotfl:

Hello ladies! Amazing to think we've been on this challenge for a whole year isn't it - I know I certainly have more space in my bathroom cupboard now, and am a lot more considered and selective about what I buy. BB3 that's a brilliant achievement - well done you! I think I might be a little way off that level yet! FMG thanks for the new thread!

I have one IN to report - the free John Frieda hair colour as I finally got around to taking my voucher into Boots on Friday and grabbed one. On UU to balance it out would be a little bottle of hotel shower gel used while we were away at the weekend. Quite nice, if I saw it again I'd probably nick it when I checked out!

I'm with LiR in that I want to really concentrate on using my products this month as I'm another who has sliped a little of late. I need to concentrate on showering at night again, when a) the bathroom will be warmer and b) I have time for body lotion / butter etc. Also need to make sure I use handcream regularly as I've noticed the backs of my hands getting very dry and I know from experience that I'll get cracked skin on my knuckles if I'm not careful.

Have a great month everyone!

Lemon_Tree

hi count me in again.
i can't foresee the need to buy anything at all this month, the only INs i can think about would be chrissy pressies.

one UU today or more truthfully a chuck out, a 5 year old bottle of foaming femine wash, obviously this was just going to sit on the shelf so i emptied it and chucked it. In true MSE fashion i did wonder if i could re use the bottle and foaming mechanism but i just decided i need to declutter it into the recycling bin!

I've set myself the challenge to file my feet every night this week and moisturise them (they feel like cloven hooves at the moment), and to use up a body souffle by the end of the month. It's only been open over a year. No wonder i have bad/dry skin!

yup that's the one,don't know why little sister has it as she is only 49!!!I am 56 in a couple of weeks but can't afford the red stuff:rotfl:I have 2x15mls of the comfort mask to try from gwp a 15ml night cream and some instant smooth which is suppossed to disguise wrinkles(polyfilla might be more use to me:rotfl:)

she bought it from house of frazer and got enough points from them for a facial and a big goody bag...seems better than Debs offer
