    VALM - also trying not to look at the sales although I may buy some nice body lotions. I was bought Origins body soufflé last year and they were lovely and will now be in the sale again. I am currently using a Laura Ashley one and don’t really like it.
    The last luxurious body lotions I had were the Laura Mercier soufflés though admittedly this was some years ago now. They were sweet smelling but not cloying. 

    I really like Bath & Body Works Shea lotions which are now available from Next online.  Recently my daughter was shopping in TK Max and picked me up some Body Shop Shea Body butters that were half price. Had forgotten how lovely these are.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    I also have ordered some Nip & Fab Glycolic wipes. I use the Lacura version but these aren’t available now. The XXL pots of 100 wipes are £10 at the moment.  Ordered 2 of these and a body scrub. Haven’t used a scrub for a while and am getting scaly feet.

    VALM - I had the Laura Mercier body lotions a few years ago too, I had the sets with bubble bath both in glass jars in scents like Creme Brulee, they were lovely.
