Thank you all for the welcome. Great to be amongst people with the same "problem"!

werent they a sort of side shot to lush when Cosmetics to go closed down and then reopened as lush? i think they did the cosmetics side of things and lush did the toiletries if im correct. hadnt realised they'd closed down:(

B Never closed down in 2009/10, I think. Yes, they were a sister company of Lush, with a nice make-up range and a bit more of an "up-market" range of perfumes and body care. They had some lovely things, I was sorry when they closed down.

I've got some Volcano but haven't used it. I've always thought it would just be too messy - which begs the question of why I bought it in the first place! I've had it forever so don't know if it will have gone off. I thought it was more of a mask than a scrub - unless I'm talking about a totally different product.


I used a Nivea sample of 'body conditioner' today and also found it left my skin feeling sticky. I can't see that it's any quicker than just using 'normal' body lotion either.

Volcano is a mask but where it dries its quite scrubby to remove. It's very tingly and definitely good for a pamper.

Ebay hates me....
I sold 2 hand creams - YAY! (and a couple bits I hadn't counted in my stash, if they hadn't sold they were going in the bin....)

But accidentally just bought what I believe is someones unwanted bits from their yule monty, and just happened to be all my favourite bits!!
Not adding them properly untill they are here but one large butter yourself, hand food, heel genius, and mascara, all for just over £15

Soap & Glory Hand Food: One more left in stash and that's it, will never buy again. Such a disappointing product.

I know I sound like a broken record but totally agree with you, and when it goes off :doh:oh it is just rank :mad:

Gosh this thread is moving fast, just caught up. Welcome new ones.
Hope everyone is well.

UU's
Cinders bath ballistic WBA have several more

So white bath ballistic WBA one of my favourites and have plenty more left.

Nickory bath treats bubble bar in a scent I can't remember WNBA loved the smell but it made my bath a skating ring.

Mitchum deodorant WBA HG

Dr bragi age management moisturiser WNBA this was a sample from a beauty box , not that impressed have another in stash so will use this up next.

Jean Paul gaultier classique WNBA this wax always my favourite for years but I have finally out grown it. Still another part side bottle in stash.

Santaverde aloe Vera hydro gel WBA I like this but I still have more products to use before I would repurchase.

Okeefe hard working hands cream WNBA I have had this on the go for a year. It leaves a film over my hands but never seemed to hydrate them. Such a shame as I read so many positive reviews on this.

I don't think that is everything but I can't remember what I have used in my bath.


I have actually managed a whole week without buying anything. I just hope I can keep it up.

Oh wow, it's my all time favourite! I always keep a mini in my handbag and a full size by my bed.
Funny isn't it how one product can be so loved by some and so hated by others.

Hi all,

Just cleaned up some of my old drawers and found a very old baby oil bottle, needless to say because i couldn't actually see the print on the label i have thrown it out while i don't like waste, i don't like the thought of using it least of all gifting it and i couldn't even think of something to re purpose it as. Unlike the cheapo body lotion being used as toilet cleaner!:rotfl:

3 UU no Ins so far

It was 2009 they closed down, start of or thats when the Leeds store went... it was my favourite shop smelt sooo good, and was so sparkley and pretty! I loved the fact their eyeshadows were in little sequin tins. I was a poor student though and only ever bought 1 or 2 things, but it was such good quality too. I miss them
Shame they didn't have more stores I only discovered them by accident once I was in Leeds.

One UU: Sample of St. Ives Apricot Scrub. Had this for many years and wow what a scrub! Felt like a layer of my skin was being removed as the granules are very big and scratchy. WNB although my face was smooth afterwards it's a bit too much for my sensitive skin.

*Whispers* Four ins:

2 x TBS Dreams Unlimited Perfumes
2 x Vanilla Bliss Hand creams

Could not resist 40% off and free delivery. I promise to buy no more perfumes this year.
