Re cracked heels, I'm using soap and glorys heel genius, not so keen on the smell but my feet don't feel so dry and tight in the morning after using this, I can tell when I've missed a day of using it, I'd prefer scholls heel repair treatment but it's quite pricey

Filling my helmer tomorrow, my lotions are spread over a book case , bathroom cupboard and 2 cardboard boxes so it's next on my buy list . thank fully I have a spare room dedicated to boxes and clothes

my heels are awful if I don,t keep on top of them(no pun intended!)
I use a foot file everyday in summer when I dont wear tights and even take one on holiday then put scholl cracked heel cream on and foot cream,bit of a fag I know but works for me,I also file one of my toes which gets very dry skin on(sorry if people are eating breakfast!!!!)


what,s a helmer?must have missed talk of it when on hols

Good morning everyone, Rosemary pleased that you had a good holiday.

This is a Helmer http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/40107872/

They are basically a metal stationary set of drawers, but much loved by some of us nail polish/make-up gals:D

Hello all, a few items to report.

First a TA. Operation Glam Shampoo from Lulu. This has made my hair so dry and dull! I don't want to use it any more. I gave it several goes as I started it when my hair needed a colour (little white-haired old lady here), and I thought that was the problem, but it's been coloured now and that usually makes it very bouncy and shiny - but not with this stuff! It came with a conditioner which I'll keep to shave my legs.

2 UUs:

Nioxin Shampoo for thin hair. MBA as makes hair shiny, but not sure about the thickening part.

Judith Williams Luxury Diamond Cleansing Mousse. Finally! This lasted ages and did cleanse OK, but left my skin rather tight afterwards. WNBA.

I'm finding this board very useful, not just to help declutter and save money, but also as a concious way of rating products that frankly were bought rather randomly. Eventually I hope to know what really works for me.

It's true. I am surprised at the amount of items I mark as WNBA!

I have a uu

Philosophy Purity Made Simple - this was a mini bottle and I have more minis in the stash, I do like this but not sure I will buy a full size when the minis are gone.

Afternoon all and a partial ENABLING POST I'm afraid!

First my updates......

UUs
Baylis & Harding Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit Body Lotion 200ml - Used this as shaving cream as I wasn't a fan of the bits in it!
Bliss Triple Oxygen Eye Pad – 1 Pad - Have 2 more left, WNBA after this as I got these very very cheaply as part of a set but they are £10+ each normally and I don't think they're worth that!
Dentyl Mouthwash Smooth Mint 500ml - HG
Philosophy Candied pecan hot salt body scrub 180ml - Very scrubby but so sickly sweet it made me gag, would buy another philosophy scrub but not this one!
Soft & Gentle Sensitive deodorant 150ml

GAs - I've completely gone off this, they have made it more honey-y (technical term) than before and it's too sweet smelling for me so it's going to the local refuge. No big GA as this whole lot cost little more than £3

Boots Royal Jelly Bath Crème 100ml
Boots Royal Jelly Body Wash 100ml
Boots Royal Jelly Body Lotion 100ml
Boots Royal Jelly Body Lotion 250ml

Now for the enabling bit, I will have four INs soon thanks to Ojon and their latest deal (new one each day for a week) and today's is a corker, buy any two items and get a FULL SIZE shampoo and conditioner!

Now the S + C cost £40 normally, I bought 2 x £12 hair oils, free postage = £64 of stuff for £24

When I used to have my hair coloured I loved Ojon, but the same product was too heavy without the colouring, so I have not tried anything since, but I am NOT going to look................Tries to summon up willpower :eek:

I have a rather boring uu: elvive conditioner, does a good job and is purse friendly too, wba

Happy pampering xo

UU: Sanctuary Spa bath float, used up as a shaving lather. I have a few more bottles of this that came in gift sets, but I don't have baths often enough, so will use most of them as shower gel/shaving lather.

Biggest focus at the moment needs to be body lotions. I haven't finished one off for a while now.

Enabling post

I know i shouldn't but! for those with bad feet boots have a BOGOHP on at the minute making the heel repair cream just £4.04ea not much of a saving but worth the cost if you plan to have your feet out over summer.

I have 2 ins

Argan oil conditioner and cocoa body scrub - no cost here, i cleaned the hallway cupboard out and found them in a bag but thought i'd better add them to my list.

Used up my second
Soap & Glory Make Yourself Youthful Rejuvenating Facial Serum serum today, smells lush and makes my face really soft but the tiny samples aren't enough to tempt me to buy it

Looking for some advice on a [STRIKE]few things[/STRIKE] lot of things

Palettes, need a long lasting eye shadow palettes that's less than £20, MUA were all sold out and the W7 have bad reviews on longevity so i'm stuck

Pix! - anyone used their products? i got sent a lipstick duo and it's fab but i'd like to try their palettes and foundation, just don't want to waste more cash on stuff that won't suit as it's online purchase only for me.

Firming creams, i need a good firmer for breasts and bums/thighs, i'm losing weight and it's showing on my skin so i need some help but don't know where to start, anyone tried S+Gs latest?

and finally marine cream.....i'm told it's the HG for most people, not sure i need it but my mums just hit 50 and going through the MP, could this help her dehydrated, loose, smoking aged skin? not sure what it does but i'd like to treat her and think this might help cheer her up.

Sorry for all the questions, i was going to start a new thread but figured more people look on here xx
