    I've not got any of the S&G Endless Glove but my son has it (needs it for his job:)) and when I stayed just before Chrimbo I "borrowed" some as my hands were very dry. I found it very greasy and it took ages to soak in but smelt heavenly - in fact I think I prefer it to the S&G hadn food of which I have several (due to various S&G offers/glitches:o)

    hope this helps

    Ps - no UU's today but more inportantly no more ins :D
    :naughty: Save money on toiletries: no new/duplicate items until I've used up all existing supplies

    well i've survived my trip into the big town. I forgot to take my mascara to swap in Debenhams, which was unintentional.
    OH bought a mens toiletry set for his brothers christmas pressy so that's his family sorted apart from his parents.
    I had a near miss with a Radley bag - but ended up getting one in TK Max (guess that sums up the class of person i am lol)
    nearly bought a hug pump dispenser bottle of tigi conditioner but i resisted. Everyone else buys interesting sounding things and i look at hair conditioner - i'm mad. I think i'll be able to stop obsessing about conditioner once i've given my sister the bottle for my neices until then i keep trying to justify it on those grounds. God i'm sooooooo sad!

    Essential care products are lovely. The shampoo is quite strange initially as it doesn't lather anything like an ordinary shampoo, but it does make your hair really squeaky clean. They say you don't need to use a conditioner with it but I've never been brave enough as I have dry hair. Their skin care is really good too and their customer service ace.

    Thanks for that pinkfluffybabe. When I have used up my 1 litre of MOP shampoo and conditioner :o I will definitely give the herb shampoo a try:). It is also cheaper than MOP and if I can save on conditioner as well even better!

    Thanks, I've had the hand food one which I love the smell of to a certain extent then find I have to stop sniffing my hands :o as it makes me feel a bit sick :o. I'm slightly worried about you saying it's greasy as I really don't like products that 'sit' on your skin, anyone else got any views on this product?

    Had another rummage round my stuff and have put two more things in the charity bag - a tub of M&S lemon bath pearl things that I got from a secret santa about 10 years ago, but they still smell lovely so I'm sure they'll be ok, and some lemongrass foot soak from BS that I've also had several years and never soak my feet (although we have a foot spa under the bed, unused for several years also :o) so they've both gone in the bag.

    Hello All

    Self confessed recovering Toiletries-a-holic. Sign me up for another year - as i still have useable and unopened stuff hanging around.

    Dont even ask how much i had when i started in Jan 2010:o. Needless to say - the stock is smaller - as i am a shower not bath girl, the bath gifts just piled up. New years resolution is in addition to daily shower - to have one girly soak in the bath per week using the maximum number of "need to finish" products possible - meaning, dont just soak, exfoliate, slather on the mud and apply body lotion afterwards.

    Who knows i may get rid of the lot by the end of the year,

    press delete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Finally a UU

    Sure roll on deoderent. WIBA - I think yes. It does the job perfectly. But I have a Dove Go Fresh Cucumber and green tree one that I need to finish first.

    I also have just a week or so left for Lush Herbalism cleanser so will have another UU soon :cool:
