33) Mediheal black dress code mask WBA love the fit, the decoration and do t feel half the plonker wearing one of these. I wear them for 45 minutes and they are still wet.

34) Skinfood rice face wash WBA a little went along way. Easy to foam and cleaned face well.

35) Skinfood rice brightening cleansing water WNBA okay but I would not say it was great at removing makeup, used as a toner.

36) Petitfee dry essence hand mask WNBA this was fairly cheap. Once opened they fit well but we're very dry but surprisingly had product that melted when you put your hands in the glove. They were hydrating and fit well but the effect only last a short time and a good hand cream and gloves would have the same effect.

37) keratin protein hair mask by hawk WNBA okay but nothing special, think I have had this about 3/4 years.

3) Four seasons snail repair wrinkle care intensive mask WNBA good fit and saturated but I did not find it really did anything and it contained alcohol as the fourth ingredient.

38) Alberto balsam smooth and sleek nourishing oil WNBA The bottle lasted ages and left my hair with a horrible coating no matter how little I used. It took me a while to work out it was this. I TA the last third of the bottle as I could not put my through the rest.

39) lush butter bear bath bomb WBA but only in sale. Okay but note to myself make sure that you use it in a hot bath not Luke warm or the butters will just stick to the side of the bath.

40) Four seasons red ginseng mask WNBA not a good fit and contains alcohol which I try to avoid.

41) Lush karma cream WBA love the scent and it hydrates well being s lighter lotion.

42) Future primative Shea butter scrub WNBA hate the fact it leaves a layer of oil all over the bath. I swear I am getting bored of cleaning the bath.

43) Kneipp herbal bath back care sample WNBA did not do anything but make my bath red ( not a good look) and was not really a fan of the scent.

44) Malie coenzyme Q10 WNBA fits okay but dries out quickly with no benefit to my skin.

I am looking forwards to Lush Christmas and Halloween range, my bath bombs are down to 21 from 127 in January but will restock in sale. I can't believe the price hikes at Lush especially the bath bombs seems excessive and more of a luxury item.

Val glad you had a good holiday.

In regards to sheet masks I personally like leaders, inisfree and Mediheal both Korean brands other brands I like are my beauty diary and Dr Morita both from Taiwan.

I buy most of mine from Kmall24 on packs of 10 but only when they have a sale then I stock up postage is reasonable I used to buy from Cosme de as they have free postage but no good sheet mask offers for a while, have not bought from them for about a year.

Skin 18 sells mask individually and so a monthly sheet mask box but I found that the box is filled with cheap masks that I did not like and since I first purchased they have increased there prices. It is still a good place to pick up individual masks and try lots of brands and priced well. They do have lots of offers fro free things but you need to read the terms for them.

I also use Jolse which is free postage but it does not have the range of sheet masks others offer.

Have you tried TKMax they are having an event and are offering quite a few brands of sheet masks and much easier to pick up from than ordering from Korea.

May I ask a question pretty please?

Well - I am following this thread but not participating as such - rather I emptied a drawer out and that currently has anything in it that we need to use up before replacing.

I've currently got TEN (!) pots of body shop moisturising lotion. I'm running out of uses! I can't use them on my face as they will be perfumed and probably pore clogging, I daren't moisturise oneself too often as I don't want my skin to become dependant on them.

What would you all do with these?

Foot cream and hand cream rather than buying separate foot and hand cream?

Are these the 50ml ones? I had a stash too! I used them as a foot cream before going to bed every evening. Each full pot lasted just over a month and i could really see the difference on my feet. Start with the emptiest one and just work on through it. I only have one 200ml one to go (which I am a bit scared of - it's a REALLY big pot - but little by little I'll get through it)

A UU for me:
Crabtree & Evelyn Citron hand cream, 30ml - lovely, plenty more in the stash!

And some INs:
L'oreal extraordinary oil moisturiser - HG and it was on offer. I've been experimenting with other/cheaper moisturisers (not that this is particularly expensive) but haven't found anything else that I can persuade myself to use regularly.
Revlon super lustrous lipstick in Sassy Mauve - bought this with points after a tough week at work. I do need to stop buying lipsticks. This filled the last slot in my lipstick storage thingy!

After the Advent Calendar conversation I had a NPI, I nearly signed up for the Look Fantastic monthly box. Persuaded myself not to before I'd entered my credit card details - phew.

gemmajenkins0208

FCUK for her
Lady Gaga fame fragrance
Osmo Effects detoxifying shampoo
Adidas firming shower gel
Gillette shave foam
Johnson's baby powder
Billie Faiers body wash - GA to charity shop. Well, it's in the bag ready to go as i just can't see myself using it to be honest. It was sealed but I opened it up and gave it a good sniff and I just can't see myself with that scent on me all day.
Billie Faiers body lotion - GA, same as above.

Just found a huge tub of soap and glory now to go through. Whats the betting I get more at Christmas!!

Treasurequeen

Quick UU: Sensodyne Pronamel toothpaste.

WIBA? HG item.

Houseplant26

One tiny UU a sample bottle of OMA the green bath potion. WNBA as expensive and although was relaxing didn't seem to anything massively magical.

Can anyone recommend a really good de-stressing bubble bath or soak or oil? Something for aches and pains?
