    No, haven't tried the fabulous serum. I think the only L'Occitane skincare I have tried is the Immortelle face cream. I only had a sample sachet but could feel the difference as soon as I tried it so am sure I would agree with you Will put this on my list to try when my current stash of serums and oils have gone. At the moment I'm using TBS Naturalift which is nice.

    I'm using Immortelle moisteriser, night cream and face exfoliator. Love them all ;)

    I have a UU! Alberto balsam shampoo. Coconut and lychee. WIBA?: Well, I thought it would be a no as DD hates coconut and anything that smells like it. However, she came downstairs the other day proclaiming how much she loved the smell of the shampoo. She was met with raised eyebrows all round and confirmed it was the coconut one.
    Replaced with a raspberry one from the drawer which appears to be our last one anyway. I was shocked! I thought there was another in there :)

    I made it to the 28th without buying any unnecessary toiletries and have failed at the last stretch :(

    I have went for the CheapSmells offer for the Clarins Flash Beauty Balm (which I really like and haven't had in nearly a year) for £15.95 (minus quidco). Och well - it could have been worse.

    UU Nivea pure and natural body lotion and face care sample

    95% natural aparently! I just love those claims. Annnyway, it smelt nice, absorbed well, but the sample size is pretty disapointing. Barely enough to do my face and just about did my legs with the body lotion (I know I have pretty big legs but my face is a normal size lol)

    My experience too... I cut 2 sachets open and used them as a kind of body wipe to get most of me covered. Who would use the same amount of lotion on their entire body as they would conditioner on their hair? Unless they are very petite. I am not petite.

    If you like the Pure and Natural, it's 74p, half price, in Mr T's at the moment, for 250 ml.
    Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.
  • Has anyone tried this http://www.boots.com/en/No7-Protect-Perfect-Body-Serum-200ml_51793/ ? I'm just about to finish the last of my LE Superskin body cream and wondered whether this was worth a try for that price?

    Four use ups in the shower this morning.

    Oringinal Source Minty Conditioner - Bought it in the hope it would give me the same whoosh as the Shampoo which is discontinued. It didn't and contains no where near enough moisturiser for my hair i was just using it on the roots.

    John Freida - Deep Repair Intensive Mask - WBA. Liked this. I use an internsive everyday and this was just right normally JF intensives are sillicone full and make my hair go lank. This was really nice though.

    Philosophy Pure Grace Bath/Shower - WBA. Like Philos products although have at least fifteen shower gels in my stash so trying no to buy anymore. (until the TSV in April anyway)

    Philosophy Pure Grace Lotion - HG body lotion soaks in really well. Again massive stocks to get through first. Also today i only had enough for half my body so did my torso/arms only an on my bottom half...

    Como Shambhala (sp?) Body Lotion - Little sample size that came in Febs GB. Really liked it although not sure on the smell as it is very powerfull. Smells really earthy and herby and overpowering. Too much to use at night. WNBA as its about £750 or something ridiculous.

    Happy with with lots of use ups this morning - just concerned i may smell a little random today!

    Oh; and ha a QVC blip yesterday. Got the New CID TSV in the black and a Nails Inc Juicy Sheers collection.
    I'm so boring, my clothes wanna keep someone else warm, someone cooler

    Just squeezed in one UU before the end of the month! Elemis Tranquil Bath Elixir, smells nice but I doubt that I would pay full price for it, it was a freebie from last years summer promotion.

    I can now crack on with the Soap and Glory Bubble bath.

    Another UU Espa Floral spafresh, lovely smelling but what you use it for out of a spa context I'm not sure. Ive been using it as a toner/fresher.
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales
