    Ooooooh one of my favourites.

    Dazedandconfused - one of the main ingredients of mouthwash is usually alcohol which is a preservative I think so should be OK, have a little taste first.

    One of me earlier posts about the discontinued but much loved (by me at least) Origins Bite Your Lips got me thinking about other beloved products which have fallen by the wayside. The main ones I still think about are:

    New West Skinscent - I can't tell you how much I loved this and even 15+ years later I am still so sad I can't get it.

    Rimmel Raspberry Nail Polish - no other ones have been as perfect as this was.

    Boots Peppermint and Nutmeg Sleep Easy Bubble Bath - this one I will never get over.

    Does anyone else have products that they know they can't get but never stop searching for?

    Hi all

    I seriously need to get my cosmetic purchasing craziness under control and start using up what I have.

    Aside from core products ie toothpaste & deodorant I don't think I act need to buy any toiletries for years!!

    Some of your lists are helping me realise I'm not the only one :rotfl: thank God!!!!!!

    I am going to have a sort out... As one poster suggested I might even look up women's refuges near buy and donate. Do you know if the take opened items?

    So I ended up getting quite a few things in boots today (spent £47.56 over 3 transactions ,saved 33.06 on rrp and gained 1748 boots points)
    Got a few essentials that I needed like a 4 pack of toothbrush heads for 12.66 instead of the retail 18.99 and my aussie deep conditioner treatment was on 3 for 10 with 500 points back.
    non essentials
    soap and glory la la set
    ORANGEASM™ Body Wash 250ml
    • ORANGEASM™ Super Tonic Fragrance Spray 100ml
    • ORANGEASM™ Body Butter 50ml - I had a coupon but it didn't work so they reduced the product by the euro amount (instead of the pound amount) then the 1/2 price kicked in so I paid £2.50 :)
    soap and glory clean get away kit
    natural collection clear nailpolish
    sanctuary spa scrub bar


    interestingly my 3 aussie,sanctuary spa scrub bar and nailpolish and an aussie satchet came to £10.38 altogether... the offers you load to your card seem to work well with vouchers they send through the post.not that I mean to enable but if your going to buy at all you may as well get it for a good price .
    £365 a year spend challenge - this has included food/clothes/beauty?? who knows where I am

    Did you try using it with a shower puffy thing? either rubbing the shower puff along the top or the tub or by cutting it into tiny chunks and then squashing it in the puff?

    Probably sound a little mad but it works so well like that. Better lather and no problem with it slipping out of your hands! :)
