Anything nice in Waitrose I should know about?

[JLbaby]

I'm going away on Tuesday for the night and I'll be near a Waitrose - my nearest local one is about 35mins drive so I don't really ever go.

Are there any nice moisturisers/creams/shampoo/conditioners or anything else I should know about that I 'need' to buy?!

They sell Korres shower gel, which is very nice. I think they also stock some Neals Yard stuff. Personally I'd stock up on nice chocolate and biscuits, though

It's just a supermarket. If you're in more a rural area, perhaps you could order stuff online?

Their own brand lip balm is nice but yes it's just a supermarket - nothing out of the ordinary.

The Waitrose own bath foam is nice.

There's lots of nice toiletries in Waitrose, especially more natural ones. The waitrose own shower gels are cheap but lovely scents. I also like the Taylor's fruit tea bags.

The yum yums :) three pack for about £1. Toffee filling is my favourite :) can eat whilst in the bath but don't put in the water lol

Waitrose chocolate tart is to die for

Salted Caramel doughnut. Better than sex.

I really like their own 'Pure' skincare range.

If you're a coffee fan I really like the Union House Blend they sell there.

Thanks! Salted caramel doughnut, yum!!

I also use a couple of things from their pure range as it's cheap. I like the face wash and the body lotion/body butter. The pure eye makeup remover was shit though. Also essential waitrose range has some nice smelling basics like chamomile and vanilla bubble bath and good body lotion too - although I stopped using when I tried to go sls/paraben free.

Their baby bottom butter smells gorgeous and makes a good cheap night cream or body treatment.

Their own brand dials, shower gels and bubble baths are nice, particularly the ginger and clementine one.

They stock Burts Bees - all nice.

Dials?? SOAPS!

Waitrose picante sardines. Eat them don't put on face.

Lemon yum yums from the bakery counter. They are incredible!

Sorry, just seen that this is in style and beauty The yum yums, however, will give you a happy glow!

I second the baby bum cream !

The bum cream and sardines are both great. Eating sardines is probably v good for the skin, so still appropriate for style & beauty.

Hah I like the fact I've been recommended mostly food items in the style and beauty thread!!

I may need some new clothes in a larger size after eating all these lovely sounding food items.

Waitrose isn't really like Tesco or Sainsbury's which tend to have big "chemist" type sections including makeup and stuff. It is basically a food store. They do have a "general chemist" type section (shampoos, sanitary stuff, razors, basic plasters etc) but it is very limited - at least in all the Waitroses near me.

The best thing about Waitrose is the food tbh - and hence the recommendations. I shop there regularly and I'm not even sure that they do "own label" type stuff in the chemisty section.

For my part, I'd add prepacked fruit and vegetables tend to be great quality and last A LOT longer than other brands. They sell a lot of really nice smaller brands products across all ranges - eg. like some lovely sauces and pickles - Stokes mayonnaise is to die for! I'd just go with an open mind and a big cool bag to cart stuff home! Have time to mooch around and hunt out the boutiquey food brands.

Yes! I am seldom in a Waitrose but was recently and bought a Richard Ward hair product which is brill! It's called something like 10 in one argan oil spray. I have been impressed. Only available at Waitrose afaik.

Sorry - I didn't notice that it was S&B

Their own range shower gels. Pear and freesia is lovely. I like Korres but buy online from M&S.

Yum yums are great too

Baby bottom butter is ace. Brilliant on my dry skin.
