Crepeys, not Creepys

[Cremolafoam]

Get back on here you lot!

Are at "cumin" smell....

I'm afraid, I use baby soap ( actually like the smell of the johnsons honey one) and aqueous cream (the latter for the nethers...) but I do like the look of the L'Occitane oil....

It is lovely. I may indulge.

Am just about to switch to soap. Feeling very dim but baffled but aqueous cream/nethers - what is it for?

It's a soap substitute and good if soap makes you sore.

Gotcha

MI, v much like the black pepper and myrrh candle I got. thank you

Am now wondering about using bath oil IN the shower...

So what would you do with the bath oil, MI? Get wet and then rub it all over you? I don't see why not, but I think you would end up using a lot more than you would if you were using it in the bath.

Aqueous cream is very good if you have sensitive skin.

I got a cashmere thing that is like a cross between a poncho and an infinity scarf in TK Maxx yesterday. Green. Cosy. Am liking it.

I am unreasonably chuffed to see that revlon is doing a new quite cheap tubing mascara. Will put one in Dd2’s stocking.

I love Revlon. I found my best nude lipstick ever there. It's a lip butter one, and the colour is perfect. So I bought four, have lost three, and have now found an even better one from Nyx, called Eurotrash.

Yes, there’s also a really lovely chubbystick dupe I love.

I miss MrsW. Where are you...?

More S&B - I went to 4160 Tuesdays open house last Saturday. They were selling barely used testers for £10. The DDs and I stocked up!

You’re so Eurotrash, MrsS.

I've asked for a Perfume Afternoon with them as a Christmas present. Going with my DM and possible SiL who is impossible to buy for anyway...

I have plumbed new depths: this morning I received a House of Bruar catalogue, so I have obviously joined a new demographic. I did actually like some of the stuff, but oh the prices!

WHAT is HoB?

HoB is like.... Hmmm....

Think Scottish hostess with the mostess in freezing Scottish castle still needs to look smart. Lots of boiled wool, frilly collars ( from first time round...) and velvet. Sensible length skirts.

Can you tell I'm on their mailing list too?

What's this Belgian place yore referring to?

NU and Airborne - it could be worse. It could be the Chums catalogue.

In further S&B news I can recommend Flexitol heel balm - which I use as a regular foot cream - as an overnight hand treatment. It has REJUVENATED my Crepey paws.

Oooh I have crepey paws too!

at catalogues of shame. Where does Hotter (greeted with enthusiasm) lie on the spectrum?

Fluffster, do you mean Hema? It’s bliss.

Bliss if you want Christmas tat, that is.

Hotter is definitely on the Catalogue of Shame spectrum, but it is alright as long as they don't look like Hotter.

Hema at Victoria was selling out of its Christmas stuff fast. They have lots of delicious biscuits and stuff. I got the DDs a chocolate letter each (and got the last T). I got a marzipan stuffed speculoos, which is DIVINE. I also got fairy lights, glass baubles and a truck load of other shit.

Also got the M & S advent calendar.

I need to get my skates on with the M&S calendar.

Been doing a bit of a shopping blitz online this morning.

MI - you are right - that stuff is THE BIZ for rejuvinating Crepey paws, but it smells pretty rank.

I 'cut it' with normal smelly hand cream, and slather it on just before bed. Flexitol do a hand version, but IMHO, not as good. But not as smelly either.

The boots version smells better!
