I love love love the BS passionfruit cleanser. I think my daughters have become converts too as the bottle goes down rather fast these days!!!

weren't 'anita's favourites' around for a limited time only? I tend to buy lots when I find a product I like and I know it's going to be discontinued, which is how I ended up with half my stash:o

As most of you know, I've got a lovely lady who comes in to help me clean because I'm a) no fan of housework and b) disabled.

She insists on putting toiletries on the windowsill - not the best place for them but oh well. One of the reasons that I want to get my stash down.

Anyway having had to concede on this point, I bought some really cute little (c 8'' x 4'') storage baskets, blue frosted plastic with holes cut in the side and base and chrome handles.

They were 75p in Wilkinson's and are great. The perforated design wouldn't make them suitable for everything but they look fine in the bathroom.

Please include me. I will add my list tomorrow. The only problem I can foresee is the kids refusing to use bars of soap rather than shower gel.

morning all,

welcome all newbies :hello:
I have my first uu of the month: Bayliss & Harding Relax shower gel, this was part of a set I got at Christmas so not sure if I could buy it again even if I wanted to - which I don't!

Hope everyone enjoys the Bank Holiday, xx

Anyway, I have just spent my birthday amazon voucher on a Crabtree & Evelyn La Source 60 Second Fix For Feet. It was reduced from £22 to £9.65 for a full size foot scrub and cream and free delivery. I am really chuffed as my feet need some serious attention and I have been using my hand cream instead but it doesn't help much when my feel are hot and achy.

Has anyone tried these products before and are they any good?

(My loyalty to L'occitane is wavering but £17.50 :eek:for a shea butter foot cream is now a no-no for me)

Hi, I've tried the C&E foot scrub and lotion and they were lovely products. My feet however are the one part of my body that I neglect. I'm forever picking up different foot creams to try but then don't apply them religiously enough to notice a difference. Saying that though I have been using the Aldi cream quite a bit and my feet are feeling better. It seems that a cream containing Urea works best for me.

I'm with you re: L'Occitane as well. I feel the brand is really overrated now. I'm definitely switching to the Yes to Carrots handcream rather than buying the L'Occitane Lavender one from now on. The only L'Occitane products that I really like are the Verbena liquid soap and the Almond Oil shower gel.

Hi everyone
Those UU lists are :Aamazing. :A
I have one splutterer which I have decanted into a little spray bottle - Gatineau 500ml Toner - would not rebuy for a while as I have 430ml of Liz earle tonic to use now.:o

That's the thing VALM, I would only be buying the kit for the silver shatter and I think I will look to buy it elsewhere as a have enough colours to UU and have some nail envy and avoplex minis which have hardly been touched! Have seen the blck shattercoat on Beauty Expert.com for £10.50 so they are bound to have the other colours soon and if you go through the link on the beauty bible website you also get 10% off

I have found my travel size LE Instant Boost Skin Tonic spritzer bottle and have started decanting into this from the larger one again. It goes so much further this way.

Seriously bev I think I need to find a local NPA (Nail Polish Anonymous). I am really craving the mini set of Pirates of the Caribbean colours and may just have to go to John Lewis today to ogle at/buy them. These are the colours that Silver Shatter was designed for. Shame I'm not around on Wednesday when OPI are on QVC because they did have the Katy Perry kit with black shatter so am thinking they may do a similar kit with POTC.

Whilst hunting for all my nail varnishes...I found 3 more items to add to my stash!!! They were hiding in the gift bag from my birthday last month! Along with 4 new nail varnishs I was given (nail varnish count so far is 46...not convinced I've found them all yet!)

ACCA Girl - I totally agree, everybody on this thread is wonderful :j

bev - congratulations on the no spend month, maybe one day I'll be there - *stares into the distance and the faint hope of reduced toiletries/makeup*
