    Just about to go and have a bath and get ready for work. I feel the need for a quick pamper session and the full mask for tonight. It's really busy in work, very few staff and so much to do. The mask helps me feel calmer and isn't so scary for people when I have to wake them at 2.30 in the morning to do dressings (I know, I know, disgraceful :(). The least I can do is to try and smell and look nice eh?

    NoyNoy- I think this is what you're looking for http://www.perfume-parlour.co.uk/index.php

    HTH :)
  • I agree with calming things down...I did get a little heated/frustrated and I apologise if it was a bit OT and offended anyone...

    But anyway back to business - has anyone tried this: Soap & Glory 'Wish Upon A Jar' 21 Day Collagen Overhaul Cream 50ml I've been wanting to try it for a while, I've got a few days left in my vitamin e day cream, none in stash but one on the way (ordered with 30% off body shop code flaoting around before xmas). Any thoughts?

    Am going to hop in the bath soon for a mini soak, no body scub or face mask as I did that yesterday, so just a wash and soak for half hour. Which brings me to my next question: how often do people use body scrubs, face scrubs and face masks?

    No UU to report, maybe after my bath :)

  • one more thing...any YSL Touche Eclat fans (who might be running out or need to stock up) it's £14.95 on cheap smells at the moment, got an email today, thought it was a good price considering it retails at £24.

    clicky

    I face mask (well - put on exfoliator and leave it on for a while - havent had a mask for ages!!!) once or twice a week - exfoliate my legs and arms about the same, but moisturise my arms every morning (and all over when I have exfolitated)

    TARA - empty your PM box woman - you cant tempt me with a link to the posh shampoo shop and then not be able to accept PMs !!!!!

  • I exfoliate when I'm taking my fake tan off and doing it again about once/twice a week but now I have 2 massive tubs of soap and glory "breakfast" scrub might do it more until my skin peels off :rotfl:

    Don't face mask often although I do love doing masks. Exfoliate the face about twice a week!

    Same. :) I would feel terrible :eek: if I'd upset any of you lovely ladies.

  • Oh heck, I've fallen off the wagon already :o

    Went into town today and bought more BS stuff, 3 body butters and a vanilla spice shower gel, all half price and it was also buy 3 get 4th free so got £43 worth for £18. I will use them all though as they are my favs (if that makes it any better).

    Soooooo... no more toiletries for 2012....

    Hi ladies

    I hope you all had a good Christmas, I'm just starting to feel human again after my flu..back to work tomorrow. I'll have to catch up on the thread in the new year as there's loads to read. I've just skimmed the last few pages though and Jacks your volunteer work sounds amazing, it must be so rewarding to have a positive impact on the ladies you work with.

    I recieved a clarins face cream set for Christmas and have ordered two S&G sets. I will not order any more..I'm starting to feel overwhelmed about the amount of stuff I have.
  • um i might need to invest in some face wash then, Ive got a little bit of S&G clean mary left and then 4 tubes of face scrub (S&G scrub your nose in it) but if I shouldn't use a scrub every day that leaves me with nothing to use! I wish I'd bought some vitamin e face wash from the body shop when they had the 30% code kicking about now because I'm loathed to pay full price.

    Comical really, 4 tubes of face scrub but no face wash ha

    No UU after shower (was going to be a bath but time ran away with me) I can't believe how many more applications are left in a tube of S&G the daily smooth if you cut it open! (am I getting tight or is this still classed as money saving?!?)
