    Evening ladies, Hope everyone is well!

    UU's
    2 Snow angel bath ballistic/ melt WMBA nice enough but was was hoping the scent would have been stronger. Will probably cocktail the others I have.

    3 Holly go lightly bubble bar WBA part from the glitter this smells lovely, is well coloured and gives lots of bubbles. Several more in stash.

    4 Benton sheet mask WBA really like this one and seems to calm my skin which does not seem too happy at the moment.

    5 royal jelly sheet mask WMBA worked okay but nothing special.

    6 Hand chemistry hand cream WNBA disappointed with this one, 30 ml sample size from beauty box last year, expensive for what it is and did very little, smells okay but I prefer unscented hand creams.

    7 BS Devine calm body butter WBA I love the scent of lavender and really enjoyed this one but ax with anything I like it had been discontinued.

    8 enchanted sugar scrub in evening falls WBA love the scent and texture.

    9 enchanted whipped soap in evening falls WBA works really well as a shaving cream and I love the scent.

    10 Phillip Kingsley elasticiser to friend who loves it.
    11 Colour keeper shampoo given to go with the above

    1-15 a mixture of lush bath ballistics bubble bars and melts, I did not buy it and it was a replacement for some products, I was sent far more than I expected which was very kind but my love of lush had definelty come to an end, as a long time customer they have changed so much and not for the better, I am still waiting for my second Boxing Day order to be dispatched ( already added to list).

    My list still is being adjusted as I have found more products in a beauty box that I had not unpacked from last year, I also have not added a few items that I got in my advent from my mom and if really honest I have a box that I don't count, mostly samples that will be given away throughout the year to friends, I tend to give away a fair bit.

    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! :)

    I cut mine up also into cubes , I do find they last forever. It also really sad to say that there are videos on YouTube showing you how to do it. ( can you tell that I get bored easily).:rotfl:

    Nivea gentle exfoliating scrub 150ml. (facial). very inexpensive lovely scrub for the face. Good option for anybody on a tight budget as it is an absolute bargain. I think I paid about £2 because Nivea was on offer at superdrug when I bought it. 5 starts from me.


    One chuck out.
    I just opened my Body shop Hemp Foot protector 100ml, and it smelled really rancid. Its more than 3 years old and half used, so its gone in the bin. Almost gassed myself with that one.


    Dolly84, I absolutely love the discontinued avon lipstick called dancing wine which must be 20 years out of date. I still sometimes look for it, but never ever found it again. Its gone for good.


    Also another avon discontinued one is odyssey which I love. You can get it off ebay though because it is not discontinued in USA. Last year I did pay £12 for a bottle and it is the same stuff, so that cheating.

    That's my problem, because I used to be an avon rep I used to buy lots of stuff out of the reps mag when the items first came out and now when I'm starting to get round to using the stuff am finding it's discontinued. Am using a lovely shine serum from the advance techniques brunette range but they don't do it even more, in fact I don't think they even sell advance techniques in brunette any more :(

    I'm an Avon rep too. I totally adored their Supershock Gel Eyeliner in Golden Fawn so obviously that had to be discontinued too, I did manage to buy several back ups of that from the reps clearance.

    Another thing I love that you can't get is Body Shop Spiced Pumpkin Shower Gel, I have one bottle left and it is in the shower caddy now but I daren't use it - I will just have to bite the bullet and enjoy it.
