I never, ever use a razor as you can get ingrown hairs (this will be what your rash is) I use a cream hair remover specially for that area, it takes 5 minutes and the results are good and you can do it easily and cheaply at home.


Dolly, would you mind telling me which cream you used. Have had a look to see what is on the market and it seems to be a mine field of various creams for various parts of the body :eek:

I am currently using a Nair cream, it is for sensitive skin and says on the box suitable for use on bikini line. I have no problems with it at all, just put a layer on, it needs to cover the hair but not really thickly then you can tell when it is time to take it off as the hair looks bendy, remove with spatula and shower to get rid of any scent from the cream.

I have a sort of uu

Mitchum Solid Deo Stick in Waterlilly - I have had three of these and all of them have broken whilst still having quite a bit of product left. It does the job and smells nice but I WNBA due to the breaking.

Thanks for starting us off again Babafette. And congratulations on your wedding sjprmc01, you look beautiful.

Have one UU to report:

TBS Brazil nut body butter - I used to love this back in the day but the version they brought back just doesn't smell the same. It's not as rich and sweet and has a very plasticy after scent. Have one more tub to UU but I don't think I would repurchase if they brought it back again.

Afternoon all! Back from Blackpool, very tired but just wanted to say hello!

Thanks Kadison
Would you remember the price of the Dermalogica and non Dermalogica cloths and are they disposable or reuseable?
I would like to try one.
cheers

The Dermalogica were about £10 from my local salon, the ones in TKMaxx were £5.99 for 2 but I haven't used those ones yet to compare. They are reusable, like a long scrubbing cloth that you can scrunch up for your body or use long for your back. :money:

I need to have another No Spend month but am finding all the Christmas sets and offers difficult to ignore :eek: Every time that I'm tempted I remind myself how many lovely (and not so lovely) things that I still have to use up! Still not easy though...

One good thing - I've fished my bottle of Philosophy Christmas Cookie shower gel out of my stash and I like it more than when I first used it. The scent has faded just a little and it smells more biscuity and is just much nicer (to my nose, anyhow :rotfl:)

Best of luck everyone

I think this is my problem too at the moment, seeing all the lovely gift sets. Got an email from QVC as well showing the November TSVs. Looks like I won't want the Elemis TSV this year though as I think it features the Rose and Jasmine fragrance again which is horrible. There was no Cancer Research kit either so not sure where MrM will buy my stockpile of PCMC from!

Speaking of which I am just about to UU a 30ml pot of this and only have one other left in the stash. Therefore I calculate that I need 6 of them to see me through the year. Anybody know of any good deals on Elemis at the mo?

I love Philosophy Christmas Cookie. Went into Boots at weekend to see if they had the Iced Pumpkin one but they didn't nor did they have any testers open to have a sniff at! Pah! Bought some birthday and Christmas presents from Boots but nothing for myself so not a bad start to the month.

L'Occitane verveine 75ml shower. Did not like the smell one bit and was glad to see the back of it. I WNBA

Did you mean Verbena? Verveine is the stuff that kills vampires in The Vampire Diaries. (I know, I need to get out more!).

Which reminds me have first UU for November : L'Occitane Verbena handwash. Bought an eco refill recently to refill this.

Contact Mitchum. the sticks should never break. Solids are the norm over here, roll ons are just not popular.


I've used Nivea, Mitchum, Secret and Dove sticks and none of ever broken. the last half inch might fall out of the container but you just stick it back in.


Are you twisting too much up at a time?

Another couple of Ins for me

L'Oreal Ever Riche Nourishing and Flowing Shampoo
L'Oreal Ever Riche Nourishing and Flowing Conditioner

These were on offer for £3.99 each and I have wanted to try for a while.

I am going to carry out a GA to cancel them out:

Bed Head Tigi Urban Antidotes 750ml
Clarins Delicious Self Tanning Cream

And probably also a TA:

Andrew Barton Orange Blossom 225ml


Total: 52 items

Babafette

Evening ladies, I hope everybody is well. I am obviously back in for another month! I'm currently sporting Sally Hansen Shell We Dance on my nails but have no use ups to report.

Thank you, Babafette, for starting the thread I hope that you've recovered from your blood test?

Thanks for remembering Willowbee. I did have a panic attack but the nurse was lovely and she was very gentle so I got through it. Just waiting for the result now.
