Lush Magic Mushroom bubble bar (UU)
Lush Dragons egg Ballistic (UU)
Lush Space Girl ballistic (UU)
Lush Yummy x3 Shower Gel (UU)

Philip Kingsley elasticizer (UU)
Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout shampoo (UU)
Redken Extreme CAT treatment
Aussie Leave in conditioner

Avene Cleanance soapless gel cleanser

Avene Ystheal Eye Contour Cream

Lush Strawberry Santa shower jelly (UU)
The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit body scrub
The Body Shop Peppermint foot scrub

Avon Foot cream

Thats 19 products! Ok so I cheated a little with the ballistics etc but they were halfs and the shower gel and santa were little bits left over!

Oh I like this idea ruby - so I'll nick it
So far used - with used up (in bold):

Sample of Dermologica pre cleanse (on that facial massage youtube video) - lovely, now I get why people like oil cleansing. This stuff is RRP £31 a time - so will have to see if my skin has liked it http://www.jerseybeautycompany.co.uk/category/cleansers.html

About to use:
Dermologica prep scrub/mixed with Clarins Extra Comfort Cleanser
S&G body scrub
S&G shower cream/gel (uuurrrrggggh will that stuff never end!)
Timotei shampoo (amazing quality for the price)
Regis hair mask
Lots of hot water

Then:
Clarins sample of Super Restorative Mask (skin looks dry)
Avon Rich Moisture face/hand/body cream (huge size, think EH had some of this)
S&G hand food

And a natter on here :j

OMG:eek::eek::eek:

Have just cracked open sanctuary body scrub and body butter....THEY SMELL DIVINE AND NOW I SMELL DIVINE.....what have I been missing out on all these years????????

Right i'm off shopping tomorrow to get some more...oops just remembered which thread i'm on, maybe not!:rotfl:lol!

sorry guys but i'm not sure if you are more of a bad infleunce than good!!!


PS how does this thread work again (for us novices)????
Do I have to use up all 2 of my old old fragrances before i can open a new one, or is the rule that you have to UU all old one before buying a new one??

I like Bath, visited last year with my mum and went to the Thermae Bath Spas for the afternoon. It was lovely, especially the rooftop pool.

You might regret saying that, I might just end up sending you a pm one of these days :rotfl:

(btw, I'm in Calne)

Anytime Hope you're feeling a little better after all that pampering:D

Will paint my nails later I think - did a face/hair mask yesterday - I won't be able to type if I do it now! :rotfl:

Re the giving up stuff for Lent - I'm deciding between giving up chocolate, bread, cheese or just going vegan (already a veggie). DEcisions, decisions! Haven't had pancakes yet as OH isn't home yet

It's not a case of wanting to- I love love love crisps. I have been challenged- and I don't do losing
Plus, if I can give up crisps for 40days then I definitely have the will power to STOP BUYING TOILETRIES!! And use up my beautiful stash

Gracious me. I can give up toiletries:A, but crisps....:eek:??

Lol Celebrate - you can have as many open as you want - but no more in until you need it !!!!!

Ive got 1 UU from my bath - the ginger shower gel from the horrible dead sea set that my friend gave me. WIB ?? - no. not impressed with any of them - the ginger moisturiser smells like rubber too. Bleugh !!

I used Body Shop lemon grass foot scrub on my face earlier as I have no face exfoliator - worked suprisingly well !!!

Evening ladies

I have just finished my pampering session, it was much more fun than doing the dishes which I should have been doing :rotfl:

I used this as an excuse to crack open some new products, which is a little bit naughty because it will take me even longer to get some UU!! Although it is all in the stash so there to get used.

I washed my hair with Lush Karma solid shampoo and BS banana conditioner.
Used a St Ives face scrub (just opened it today and its a massive 150ml tube, it will take years to use up just on your face!) and Avon face wash.
Opened a S&G Clean on Me shower gel which is a mega 500ml bottle, thats months of showers to look forward to.
Used No 7 hydrating face mask and finally covered my arms and legs with Avon Botanics body lotion.

I might use my foot file and put on some footcream and s*xy cotton socks before bed too if I remember!!

I am hoping I wake up radiant in the morning and not with big spots because I used a new face scrub and new face mask at the same time!

was thinking for lent instead of giveing up anything to make a concious effort to do something everyday like apply footcream or something.

I like this idea so am going to use this approach too if you don't mind!
I think I will aim to moisturise my arms and legs every day because I find it very easy to go without for a few days. And I need to use up my mountain of lotions and BB!!

Off to catch up on the rest of the pamper session posts!!

What colour did your bath end up with all the different ballistics in it? It must have smelled amazing!!

i like that idea
my heels are in a terrible state, would need an industrial sized file
ps where can you buy cotton socks?

ok i'm off to get a packet of crisps.....anyone?????

Oh - nearly forgot - Red scanned in foal with twins, so its good news and bad news really - horses cant carry twins, they usually abort about 10 months or so into their gestation, so the normal procedure is to pinch one out. Currently the two embryos are too close together to be able to do that safely - so they are waiting until Thursday and having another go.

so hurrah, but quietly - and I will be much happier when there is just the one left.

I can't remember where I got mine but they should have them in most chemists, even Lloyds and I know you know where that is!!
They have them in the Avon book and the body shop as well.

They are basically just plain cotton socks so I'm sure you could just use regular ones. It helps the foot cream stay on your feet and not all over the sheets when your asleep!
