Ladies, I need your help.

Now I don't want anyone else getting toiletry purchasing ideas, but given how good you guys are at getting a bargain, I need help finding the cheapest way to buy TBS cocoa butter (200ml) and/or the corresponding body scrub, depending on how much they come to. It's not for me, honest - it's for a friend who loves them and is broke and who needs a bit of TLC. Some people were mentioning a 40% off code a while back. Is it still on, and where can I get it? (All other ideas greatfully accepted, too.) QUOTE]

As far as I can see the only code available for BS at the moment is NEW25 for 25% off, unforuanatly the products you want are already discounted on the site to £9 something each, so this code won't work

If you give it a few days I'm sure they'll be another BS code come up, they're so frequent now I can't believe anyone still pays full price for the products!

P.S That's a lovely thing to do for your friend

Quidco has a 40% off code, I'm not sure it works unless you go through Quidco through? It runs until 22nd May

Just had a massive clear out and threw away 23 open bottle/tubs/pots of body lotion/butter/cream.

I have such finicky skin (mega dry but won't absorb rich creams) and often only manage to use products once of twice before giving up on them. My plan was to use them all on my feet but have realised i only have two feet and they were just annoying me.

Have also used up in the last few days;

SBC Collagen Body Wash - Love Love Love this - need to wait for a good QVC deal to stock up (i have too many other shower creams to justify buying at full price)

Treacle Moon Shower/Bath Gels in Coconut something an Lime and Ginger. Quite liked these despite the cheap price (about £3 ish from tesco). Will def repurchase the Lime Ginger one.

A green Aldi bubble bath - really like this despite again being pennies. Smelt really herby and nice. Bought it for my BF mainly (he baths to get clean i treat in like a spa expirience) but used it a couple of times myself.

Aldi face creams night and day- these have been relagated from my face to my feet. Everyone else raves about them but did nothing for me an have dried my skin on.

Mally TSV - they last one with foundation an cream blush. Sent it back as the foundation wen on ok but went really orange on my skin. Blush was nice and love the mascara but not worth it just for them.

Lots of ins - N Spa moisture mask and Facial Oil, bucket loads of nail polish (and Nails Inc AD drop any day soon), Jerome Alexander eyelash serum

Really need a new face cream though so on the hunt - my skin is really dry atm and none i have stashed are exciting me.

I have also started a blog; something i have been umming and arrhing about for ages and hopefully talking about products i use might make me realise how much i am spending.

I have a UU - the S&G hand cream that has gone off.suffice to say WNBA!

Think everyone's love affair with S & G is definitely dead and gone now - on this thread anyway!

In the spirit of getting started with the challenge I have had a sort out this morning and have TA the following:

Body Shop blue corn scrub mask - only 1 use left but have had enough of it and can see no improvement.

Avon naturals kiwi and lime shampoo - this range irritates my scalp

S&G Arch d truimph - this is rubbish, the highlighter is too thick to highlight and the brow pencil end has no effect at all, you have to really press on to get any colour.

Benefit benetint, almost empty and the last bit had gone cloudy where the brush had picked up foundation when I was using it. Love this stuff though.

Collection 2000 naturally radiant foundation - old
Collection 2000 perfect finish foundation - old
Avon ideal shade light makeup - old

Avon gillian dempsey lip and eye pencil - didn't like the colours and the eye bit creased in minutes.

S&G sexy mother pucker lip gloss in Apricot I think, hate the name of this and hate the product too, gloopy and sticky.

Body shop love etc body lotion - had separated

Have uu superdrug swiss apple serum, have 2 more in the stash then wnba as can't see any benefit from it although I do love the day cream.

That's a start anyway.

Definitely! I am one use away from using up The Righteous Butter! Unfortunately Clean on Me is still 2/3rds full...it's certainly value for money as I've been VERY generous when using it!

UU L'Occitane Verbena Showergel WBA Loved the smell of this and it has lasted well over a month so worth the money I think.

I've still got my Big Splendour unopened.

I returned to using The Righteous Butter this week and loved it! :rotfl: I haven't got enough S&G to suffer from S&G fatigue. (I totally agree with AmyB about the Mother Pucker lipglosses though - I really don't like those )

I have a Fab Pore mask which I really like and about 1/3 of the RB left. I was actually thinking that I'd miss it when it's finished. :rotfl: I was in the mood for a sweet scent and I have nothing else like it.

I do have a S&G Clean On Me LHJ equivilant though - I have a giant bottle of Bliss Lemon & Sage Soapy Suds and it's really disappointing. I like the scent but the formula isn't very good
