UU- Joules Superbly smooth body butter WBA if on offer or would love to receive as a gift again because smell is lovely and texture really is like butter but doesn't feel as heavy as normal body butters. Really lovely product! Surprising really as Joules is mostly clothes not toiletries. Recommend

I've got 2 big bags of Joules products that came from last year's Boots 75% off sale. Overnight bag type thing, although I'm not keen on the bag itself. Not tried any of the products yet though.

Rosemary - I was the same when I first heard about bee venom, if I remember rightly I read at the time they do something to make them release a sting. It still does not sit right with me really.


I always thought bees died when they used their sting, these seemed okay but not sure I really agree with using them for cosmetic reasons anyway, I just sent for the freebie not knowing about the bees

Bumblebees die when they use their sting. Does anyone know what kind of bees they use to make this bee venom stuff? I must go look this stuff up, I don't know anything about it, but love bees

Thanks for all your recommendations ! RUB RUB RUB was something I almost bought last time but thought I’d get opinions first

Its fine doesn’t have to be LUSH! I love a good scrub, the coarser the better, my skin isn’t that bad I just like the feeling that it’s really doing stuff. I hate those scrubs where it’s like a gel with a few grains of sand in.

I got a gift set with joules body butter, body scrub, body lotion and a shower gel in and while all the products were nice, I felt the body butter really was lovely.

I had a chat with DD this morning and have just posted on the Aldi/Lidl Good/Bad buys thread:
For fans of the Aldi Lacura Aqua, Restorative or Renew multi-intensive facial serums, £3.49 (voted as a Best Buy across various surveys and trials many times) they have been temporarily withdrawn as there was a problem with the pump action containers apparently.
They will be back.
This is 'insider info'.

Thank goodness for that. DD suggested writing to Aldi Head Office to encourage them to bring them back quickly, as they do respond to this sort of thing, apparently.

Oh dear, if I'd have really thought it through first I wouldn't have sent for these never mind, you live and learn, I just hope I don't love the products because I won't be able to buy them again!

Congrats to you all:j We are going for next year, we don't have time to think about it at the minute through but going to try and go to a first wedding open day this weekend. No intention of getting married there but its down the road and it might get us prepared for all the venues to come! We are looking at the southwest:j and have the first of two wedding visit trips planned next month. Very exciting, love love love the south west.

Still catching up on the past few days, but have 1 UU to report!

Lush Angel's Delight soap, WMBA it's only available at Christmas time, so will probably buy another one this year. I do like the scent but prefer liquid soap for washing my hands, and don't like having soap in the shower.

And updated FEB PP list

[STRIKE]2. Dove Go Fresh Pomegranate Shower Gel[/STRIKE] replaced with Philosophy Vanilla Cake Mix

Thanks for the heads up! I have a recent purchase stashed for when my current one runs out but I'll be sure to keep the pump just in case the new one is from the dodgy batch.

I have opened my Peaches & Clean and upended it over a dish in the hope of decanting what's left. 24 hours later and not a sausage I was hopeful too as it's slid down the bottle beautifully, so why it won't slide back up is a mystery!
