Thanks ES - have had a look at my (ahem) new pot and I can see what you mean - will definately try that next time the pot is almost empty to get my brush in and pick up all the dregs.



Phew - I could be safe! I like the LE haircare but have some Ojon to use first and I do like Aveda Rosemary and Mint so although nice, they are not my HG products. I agree with the rest of you that the footcream dispenser is rubbish. The product is great - it would be much better just in a tube with a screw top.

No more UUs today but have some splutterers so could be adding to my £1 pot very soon this week (and decreasing my stash slowly but surely)!

BTW - I got my L'Occitane email for the free handcream but I can't get the barcode to display - anyone else had this problem? I am thinking of just taking it in anyway to see if I can redeem it.

they sent me two emails as the 1st did not have a code on but said the 1st one would be ok to use !
up very early as DH left for the airport at 4 a.m:( so tea and toast whilst watching Heston do airline food on tv

Oh dear.. I had a fun weekend, but fun leads to in...

A new soap dish, which is what I wanted and...L'occitane Lavender body lotion, eye balm, rose 4 reines hand cream x2. ultra rich shower cream, savon de marseille (x2) rose 4 reines bath soap, rose body milk and a huge bottle of rose bath and shower gel.
It was all in the sale but I will go to the naughty step now. Sorry (hangs head in shame)

Used Up

The Organic Pharmacy Resculpting Body Gel review - claims to "reduce the size of fat cells" but really, it doesn't work (can any topical cream actually do this??). At something like £80 for 200ml, it's definitely not worth repurchasing. My skin was certainly smooth after using this, but any other good moisturizer would have had the same effect. It's also not moisturizing enough on its own in the winter, so I found myself having to apply a separate cream over the top. I like the concept of The Organic Pharmacy and how the vast majority of ingredients used are organic, but the performance of this product was very disappointing.

In

Dead Sea Spa Magik Bath Salts - totally amazing stuff! I spent an hour relaxing in the bath and didn't look like a prune when I emerged. I have no idea how these bath salts work but they kept my skin very moisturized, and was very relaxing. I've now been converted, will definitely be having more baths from now on

Hi everyone,
I hope this is not too OT, but I just want to mention something that did not occur to me until much too late.

I am 62 years young, blessed with good skin genes and have moisturised my face since I was 17, using SPF's as soon as they became available, so I am fortunate to have great skin and hair, BUT I never thought about my hands, I spent lots of time outdoors, dog walking, gardening and walking holidays in the UK, consequently my facial skin looks early 50's and my hands 70+, can I advise handcreams with SPFs or budget price pots of face cream with sun protection for slapping on when you are about to spend time outside.
Best wishes. MM

Hi maddiemay. You are right! My friend who is 60+ years has always said this to me, and as she puts it, her other "younger" friends. It is hard though finding a reasonably priced good SPF handcream as my friend likes the Molton brown one but I would prefer a cheaper one.
Anyone use a good SPf handcream?

I have no7, spf 15, which I find is an ok hand cream Could get it with the voucher too
