    uu


    Liz Earle Tiare & Jasmine Shower Gel 200ml - lovely WBA if they still did it.


    Leighton Denny Miracle Drops - these are very effective but I wouldn't buy, these actually came in a kit.

    Can anyone recommend a cheaper version of liz Earle cloth cleanser? I blinking love it but it’s pricey. Are the super drug ones any good?
    I liked the vitamin E one, it's definitely not as nice as Liz Earle but still effective and nice to use!

    Few UUs

    Gilchrist and soams shampoo 40ml WNBA quite drying

    S&G flake away 50ml WBA love this and the smell....but I have various other scrubs in the stash

    Soft and gentle deodorant: I prefer Mitchum but it did the job

    Lush cherry bomb WPNBA it’s very pretty but the smell is just OK

    Lush Autumn lead bomb HG only 2 left in stash and they don’t make them anymore (they were a Halloween exclusive a few years ago)

    Lush sheep bubble bar: WPBA nice smell, bit weak but this is very old. Really softening bath though

    Still working hard to get through my first moisturiser! My skin feels lovely but the patch of excema on my hand still won’t go!

    Lacura from ALDI is a pretty good dupe IMHO. I’d say that it smells a bit stronger but not off putting. I have tried others in the past (a long time ago) but remember they didn’t smell of eucalyptus which I like. Remember trying the Superdrug one and Soap and Glory I remember that was nice but the packaging was a pain - was a metal tube like L’Occitane hand cream. HTH.

    Are you using a hand cream on your hands? The L’Occitane shea one is nice as are Bath and Body Works shea handcreams but you’d probably have to try and find a fragrance free one so as not to irritate your skin.

    If I remember rightly, the Superdrug one had really good reviews a few years ago and was considered a good alternative to LE.

    UU

    Sure Bright Bouquet Anti-Perspirant 250ml - Love the scent. WBA.
    Oral Kiely Geranium Body Lotion 30ml - Hotel freebie in the Holiday Inn. I'm not usually into floral scents but this was quite pleasant.

    Hi Everyone,
    I need to join this thread please! I have lots of products to use up. Like many other people I have a lot of products that stay in the drawers not used. I am going to use them up and have a no spend motto. I did but some muslin squares to make my own wipes that are recyclable and reusable.

    MsM09 - I found the Superdrug Brightening cleanser to be good (green tube) but it broke me out unfortunately, the Vitamin E one they do is good and last time I used that my skin was fine.

    Ninth Anniversary 1,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped!
    One UU this morning:

    Sensodyne Repair & Protect Whitening Toothpaste 75ml WDBA and have. I like this toothpaste, even though I know the whitening effect is probably just a placebo.

    It's my birthday today and I'm debating on how to spend the cash I've received for my birthday :)
