Body Shop Dreams Unlimited shower gel 60ml size - WBA if it wasn't for the 7 years (no joke!) stash of shower gel under the bathroom sink. Nice fragrance and I still have half of the perfume left.

That reminds me; I've tried to find the post regarding average daily use of body lotion/body wash/shampoo etc, but can't find it: does anyone have it saved?

No, but....
I've always taken my lead from what is put into sachets. I never use more than 10ml of any shampoo or conditioner and usually less. 5ml seems to be the least I can get away with.
Shower gels - I use a large shower puff and just 5-8 ml brings up lashings of lather. I can't use more, it would take ages to rinse away.
Lotion is more variable. 30 ml per whole body application seems a bit too much, 25 ml roughly right. However I'm 5'9'' and fairly well built. If I was a 5'2 lady jockey I'd use less.

:rotfl::rotfl: well being a jockey type I based it on 20ml per day for body lotion, 8ml per day each of shampoo and conditioner, 15ml hand lotion and 10ml per day body wash. In my stash I therefore have

392 days supply each conditioner (based on washing every other day), 100 days of hand lotion, 78 days body lotion and .... 767 days shower gel :eek:That makes it all a little more real!

Roguey - I had the LE C&P email but I have at least 2 full size and a good few 30ml size in the stash so if I bought it it would be just going to the back of a big queue.

Welcome Fairyshazza - can't help with the FB page I can't remember who manages it.

With regard to FB local selling pages how do you find them, I don't really use FB and have no idea how it all works but I would like to sell some bits and bobs locally. Can anyone help? TIA

If you go on FB and search for something like For Sale & Swap in 'your town' something should come up as most places seem to have them now HTH

hello suzitiger!



i nearly did the same! i really don't need cleanser though, theres a full size C&P and an unopened Nuxe one in the queue already!


I am the opposite in that I want the cleanser but not the clothes:rotfl:as have several clothes from beauty boxes and buying a cheap item from Ren to get good deal,did not realise you could not buy cleanser on its own

Welcome FairyShazza!

UU:

25. Clinique Liquid Facial Soap for oily skin 200ml - HG and WDBA, leaves my skin feeling clean but not tight and a little goes a very long way as this lathers well.

Replaced with the Sanctuary oil cleanser many of us had as a freebie a few months ago, I'm looking forward to trying this.

Thanks, will have another go.

So... finished up my NSpa Raspberry Milkshake shower gel and Angel Cake bath melt. Both lovely, but discontinued now. And used a Rose Queen bath bomb in that same bath! WDBA.
TA a sample of Herbalism cleanser from Lush - just didn't do anything for me!

Three ins - Arran Aromatics Feelgood Formulas Bergamot and Ginger shower gel 30ml x2, and Arran Aromatics Feelgood Formulas Lavender and Lemongrass shampoo 30ml. From a hotel stay over the weekend - gorgeous stuff - nicked some last year from the same place and have been ekeing it out, so I'm glad to have more (I've never seen it in the shops!).

UU. Boots cracked heel balm -HG love this works wonders on my hard skin but I find that you need to use it every day to maintain the benefits

Hi. I joined the group at the beginning of the year and did really well and got the stash right down so I just had one spare of each thing. The group really helped me to stop buying but once I stopped coming online it's built back up again to ridiculous amounts hence joining in again (if that's ok).
