Champneys hand and nail cream - WBA, really like this hand cream although their Vitamiracle one is my favourite.

I still love the MB ones. My favourite though is White Mulberry. Like you say it lasts ages and I love the consistency as well for a pump lotion.

I've come online to catch up before I leave for work - going in early again - and wanted to report another UU: Elemis Lime and Ginger hand lotion. I brought this home from work as the product was no longer pumping out of the bottle so I've cut it open to use the last up. I think it was on the turn as the consistency had gone gel like and "blobby". Have used it as a body moisturiser over the last couple of days. WIBA? Maybe, though my first chance (as above) would be MB.



Did you like this maddiemay? I am really impressed with how soft it makes my skin. And MrM commented that it made his skin soft as well. I may have created a monster and steered him away from his beloved Radox.

Have a good day everyone. xx

Yes, I do like it, as you say very soft skin afterwards, Mr MM got into the bath after I had had my long hot soak, he didn't comment though:rotfl::rotfl:TBH I don't think he would notice.

I have bought a couple of items already. I'm not sure whether they count, as form part of my regular routine, and I am totally out.

They were a Rimmel Match Perfection concealer (something I can't do without, and my last one is finished.) It's a fraction of the price of the Estee Lauder one I used to get, and does a much better job. I also bought a Rimmel base coat which I need (lol!), as haven't got any.

I'm not counting them as part of my regular routine if ok?

It is entirely up to you what you count and dont cout. You can still say they are ins but are not included on your stash list? If that makes sense. I think all of us has at least one thing they dont include....:cool:

I was chuckling reading your post. Do you share bath water? Very MSE.

I count everything as an IN as it is a physical thing being put in my drawer however I differntiate between "necessary" and "unnecessary". If you have run out and like to use a certain product I'd say it's a necessary spend.

Sorry, was trying to find a way of saying that without sounding pompous! :rotfl:

Thanks, that does make sense to count them as 'necessaries', 2 INs then which won't be stashed as will be used almost immediately.

Ooh a UU......S&G 'butter up'

Love it!

It is a HG item of mine but since I've had it for ages I'm not sure I can BA as I think it's now been discontinued

sjprmc01

Ooh there is some on eBay *must stay away*.

Tbh, although I love it its not worth the extra for postage plus I'm sure any left will be due to go off as its a discontinued item

Hee, hee, yes sometimes, we have a very large deep bath here, which takes masses of hot water, (not very MSE) we both usually shower, but I was achey so treated myself to an "extra" bath, seemed a shame to let all that nice hot water waste, don't think either of us would share the water if we had sweaty physical jobs LOL, I draw the line at sharing a bath these days, prefer to stretch out and wallow on my own!!
