  • Another one here who doesn't do baths. I prefer a shower these days. I use to have a bath at uni but that was only because we didn't have a shower.

    I must say i am looking forward to a soak in the spa tub in our hotel room when we go to Vegas but i feel much cleaner after a shower.

    No UU's today but also no additions!

    No - I dont do showers either - but even if ours worked, Id still go for baths - love it really deep and really hot.... mmmmmmmmmmmm :D

    I do both...I love a shower in the morning (and hair washing) and a bath at night (but also for shaving, face masks etc)
    apart from the S&G bundle winging it's way towards me!!

    I felt temped by that but when I looked at the items in it, and read some reviews of the products I didn't think it looked that great (for me) after all. (I'm shocked to learn that I can make a rational and informed decision when buying toiletries...now there is something that has changed in the last year :)) I'd love to know what you think of the 2 'firming' creams though when you've tried them.

    No new toiletries challenge - use up the stash first!

    Do you think so? I'm not so sure it is...Boots seem to have lumped together a number of S&G products that are being discontinued with some others which haven't had 'rave' reviews with a couple of decent products and few lip products, very careful marketing and timing too, straight after the much sought after tote bag and all the publicity that went with it. Don't get me wrong I'm a HUGE S&G fan (the size of my stash could tell you that) but I'm just not convinced this package is one of the most 'thought' out products from a consumers point of view, great for boots and their profits but less so for the likes of us who's bathrooms it will clutter up with half used products. Just my opinion, I think Boots have been very naughty here.

    Or perhaps I'm missing something and it's a fab buy?:rotfl:

    First U/Us of the year. Woohoo :j

    Elle Mcpherson Bath Soak
    Elle McPherson Body Butter

    WIBA? No to both of them. Both decent products, but I just don't enjoy the smell of them. In fact I've been using up the body butter every night; slathering it on and putting thick socks on before bed to try to get rid of it quicker :A
  • i another one thats not a bath person, i have them occasionally but i get bored lol , plus we have a walk in shower now (no bath except at the OH's)

    i bought the S&G bundle , but technically that was before i joined in here :j i only got my 1st lot of s&g for xmas so thought that was one way of trying some of the other things
  • I bought my S&G yesterday when it was still December :eek:

    UU today was Body Shop Strawberry Shower Gel :T

    WIBA Definitely yes, but I have another 20 odd bottles in different fragrances to use up first. There we go I am coming out of the closet slowly. I did not do a list as I would be too embarrassed to do it :o

  • Happy New Year to friends old and new. I am in again this year. Hope to do better than last year.
    I have succumbed to temptation too many times in the last month because I now have to pass a TK Maxx on my way to work. Only I can't pass it and I can't resist the expensive skincare brands at knock down prices. But that's all in the past !! New year, new beginnings xx

    Well my DD uses everything S&G so she will probably end up with most but for the products I will use, to have bought individually would have cost more.

    Lol

    I'm going to shut this darn PC down before I do any more damage
