    Naughty DD brought home another BS body butter at the weekend. Now normally I don't like them really as don't like fruity, nutty, vanillary smellies. This one is Moringa and it's DIVINE! Why didn't I notice it before?!!!

    Anyway, there is the small matter of the discarded Nuix de Coco one she's left in the bathroom....but I'm going to use that with sugar as a hand exfoliant. Have been liberally dipping into the new one today and slapping it on my decolette , while she's at work, just because I love the fragrance. :T

    I'm gonna blame you Bronnie for my IN :rotfl:

    I was kind of intrigued so ended up testing the Moringa BB and it is DIVINE!!!! I dont usually like florals, but this isnt overpowering and really fresh smelling. I couldnt resist looking it up on eBay and have received today the 50ml pot I bought for just over 3 quid. :o

    WORST justification for toiletries buying ever!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    What if I put it the medicines drawer?
    What if I utilise it some way? Brain surgery or making pastry?
    What if I fry my sausages in it?

    There has to be SOME way that it's not an In...:p

    UU Avon Pur Blanca Blossom perfume WIBA Yes loved it not to overpowering and suitable for everyday wear.

    I have sampled the Flowerbomb perfume today after hearing about it and its fab! Also tried the new Jimmy Choo perfume and its also lush!

    Did get some reduced JF shampoo in Mr B's today and also got Coconut and Almond hair mask to try. I was going to get Aussie 3 minute miracle but the Coconut one was much cheaper and I paid using points! So 3 ins but no cash spent!

    Hi all. Hope you are feeling better soon Rosemary and thinking of you Roshy!

    Have been watching Liz Earle on QVC and really want to try Cleanse and Polish but I still have a few face washes to get through first. Maybe I can ask for a try me set for my bday, still an IN but I wouldn't have to pay for it!!
    Cleanse and Polish is nice but I heard they changed the formula and it is not as good now ???? I personally think it is fine but nothing special. Have resisted Liz earle TSV on QVC :A:A
    Also caught myself looking at the shower gels in the Avon book, thinking oooh I don't have any of those flavours and they're on special offer ... but no I will not buy!! Thats how I ended up with 40 shower gels in the bathroom cupboard!

    Oooh - could you list them all? Shower gels are my weakness too:o

    Really pleased you have said this as I have just bought the Moringa Gift set a few weeks ago for a gift -was unsure but now I think it will go down really well!:T

    Yes that's a thought;) Must look over my stash list quick and not give in to temptation. Although have looked on grabbit board and have seen the Molton Brown offer everyone is talking about :eek: - how to resist :wall: Luckily I don't have a store near me :):(

    Three INs to report - 1) another BS Blemish Fade Night Lotion. Don't technically need one as there's a few more in the stash but I got a £5 free gift for my recent birthday so I chose that. 2) BS Seaweed face mask. Trying it as a replacement for the BS tea tree mask that didn't seem to suit my skin despite it being very oily and spot prone. Used it a couple of times and prefer it so far but it's not cheap! 3) BS tea tree spot wand. Despite having no real success with spot treatments, I still picked this up. So far, it's actually working which is a novelty for me as nothing has really worked before.

  • just popping in to say hi nothing to report :)
    to whoever was interested in the sanctuary body butter i think i have one in my stash that i got late last year.
    been very good and have resisted the new vera wang perfume eventhough i have a £10 debenhams gift voucher.
    has anyone got the freebie from glamour? march issue came into my work yesterday and it wasnt in it,unless it was aprils issue... anyways i dont suppose i really need it but sample sizes would come in handy for holidays.
    good luck people who are looking for jobs.have u looked at the job threads at all?
