    I find this is usually because my skin colour has changed though, mainly due to summer weather or going on holiday, even though I don't overdo the sun on my face I makes a big difference. At the moment I am my very natural palest and what I was happily using in September looks soo wrong atm.

    I did think that at first and have about 4 different shades (pale - winter, spring/light glow, fake tan and a natural tan) and it just seems to be a different ''shade'' of buff than the remnants of my last bottle and other one i had in the stash!

    Im a huge fan of cheapy baby oil on my soaking skin when I turn the shower off (or step out of bath) then popping a towel round me as normal - it works sooooo wonderfully well and keeps me well moisturised for days! Its cheap too and lasts for ages!
    Last night I added a few drops of coconut perfume oil to the baby oil and jeeze I smell good! Hehe
    Both store cupboard ingredients - Also not planning on using baby oil on baby, so the collections people have bought for my baby means I git a stash ;)
    Coconut perfume oil and other perfume oils are all from body shop - £6.50 per bottle, but last forever!

  • Afternoon all

    When I go to Boots today I will have some ins to report. They were ordered on 29/12/10 so i am convincing myself rightly or wrongly that these don't count for this month. I think it might have been a glitch on Boots Website or they underestimated the offer. Some of you will have seen it or possibly bought it too.

    I ordered 2 x FCUK body sprays at £2 each and got an FCUK giftbox worth £8.25 free. I am intending to put the gift sets in my pressie stash and will use the body spays up myself. Have just looked on Boots.com and said sprays are now £2.55 each and there is no sign of the offer. I have 6 boxes to collect :rotfl:

    Hope you are all having a good day :beer:

    A UU to report- Boss Femme perfume mimi. WIBA? I would, I think, but not while I've got 23 more perfumes to use up :o
    Speaking of which.....2 INs- 30ml Samsara and 30ml Ghost Anticipation ordered at a great price from CheapSmells on Xmas Day, so they don't really count as I actually bought them last year;)

    And I had an bit of a :eek::eek::eek: at work today, at my client's stash!! I couldn't believe it, or count it, so I wrote it down

    Anais Anais EDT Spray x15
    AA Shower Gel x6
    AA Body Lotion x2
    AA Deodorant Body Spray x16
    AA Hand Lotion x1
    Femfresh Wipes x7 packs
    Femfresh Talc x7
    Femfresh Liquid wash x7
    Femfresh Deodorising Spray x9
    Superdrug tea Tree Face Wipes x4 packs
    Mum Roll On Deodorant x5
    Right Guard Spray x2
    Cooling Spray x3
    Tesco Mouthwash x3 huge bottles

    It wasn't so much the amount of stuff that made me go :eek: so much as the fact its all the bl**dy same stuff!!! I've got 8 more perfumes than her but at least mine are all different :rotfl:

    On the subject of Femfresh, do any of you use it? I've always been a bit wary of putting anything "down there" in terms of sprays etc.

    I use the femfresh talcum powder (that doesnt have talc in it lol) when I get out of shower and when I get up in the morning. I suffer from lumps and bumps 'down there' (TMI sorry!) so doc told me to stay away from talc as it blocks pores.
    WIBA? Hell yeah - it lasts forever! This one is at least 6 months old and I still use it daily!

    Day 5 and I haven't bought anything. ;):D

    I've got foot cream on it's last splutters - will cut it open tonight - and a lip balm that's been on it's last legs since November that has to run out at some point soon I would have thought. Other than that, nothing else looks imminent.

    I've deleted my eBay Watch list, I haven't watched any QVC, I did my supermarket shopping online and might start doing my prescriptions in the very unexciting local chemist rather than the big "full of temptations to look at while you wait" Boots. :eek:
