I've gone off most S&G stuff too. :rotfl: I've looked on eBay and not sure it's worth listing them after the fees etc are taken. They don't seem to get much. Might save for car boot or just give away.
IKWYM: I listed a few BS bodybutters and body scrubs, and they look like they will do alright, but the S&G items seemed to be going for about £2.something each! :eek: I'm better to get rid of some of my BS stuff and keep the S&G, which I have never tried anyway, as I can't use it all up, but I will use the little S&Gs up first, and then sell/give the big ones away if I'm not keen.
Good thinkin', Pickle!Please call me 'Pickle'

Has anyone tried the S&G Pulp-Friction Fruity Foam Scrub?
I tried it this morning and URGH! It was so difficult to wash off, and applying it was like spreading thick PVA glue on :eek: The smell wasn't too great either. Not looking forward to using it again that's for sure :rotfl:
Sounds interesting :eek:. Fortunately that's not something I have in my stash. Phew.0 -

Evil squid, what do you use in your hair? I was just looking at this Happy Hair range in boots http://www.boots.com/en/Happy-Hair-Days-smoothing-shampoo-300ml_1142647/
that the korres butter from boudoir prive? thats currently in my queue for stuff to use at the gym as is the rose face cream and mitchell and peach shower gel :rotfl: if anything those boxes are good for getting travel sizes!
i use liz earle on my hair if i have a choice. got sent a full size set of john frieda stuff to test for cosmo and l'oreal stuff from Elle to test. the JF has SLS in so that will prob be used up for anything and everything ASAP but as a heads up the l'oreal stuff doesn't AND works well. they sent me the american version of it but its apparently being released over here soon. its not had any adverts in the magazine yet so i don't know when but may be worth a try when it does. it will prob be cheaper than others on the market.
i'll have to try that happy hair stuff when i get through all my backlog, looks good and is def the cheapest I've seen bar using dr bronners :rotfl:0 -

My sister uses Happy Hair (Hippy hair as I think of it
) and she has re-bought it (the addiction obviously doesn't run in the family :rotfl: ) My nephew gets on with it too, and poor little chap has v sensitive skin.

Oh dear...I've got a brand new Pulp Friction in my stash...:( might just have to donate it to my step sister who loves all things S&G.
Another UU to report, 15ml Aveda Damage Remedy finished this morning, and my hair is nice and shiny as a result :j
Also finished a toothpaste, but I didn't list them in my stash, so doesn't really count as a UU. Only got 3 left in the cupboard, as they were on BOGOF.
Wee smiler xxAll you need is less0 -
Evilsquid Yes I think the korres is from BP, I'm using the Mitchell and Peach shower gel at the mo, think that has SLS in too which is a crying shame!
Ohhh the elvive sounds interesting!
Thansk Sawan82I I think I'll try happy hair when I run out of Ojon, I can use it on the kids too, it's a fab price. i did see a youtube review of the shampoo, think it was thesparkalicious. Will try Liz Earle when I have money!
I have some in's, perfume sets. I wont count the perfumes (or cost as it was spent pre Jan) but there were bit's with both, so thats 4 in!0
