I have just discovered the secret to gorgeous, glowing, smooth, plumped up skin on my face.......

...and it is Waitrose Baby Bottom Butter!

I can't even remember what made me put it on my face one day but OMG - it is fab. I have been using it constantly for 2 weeks now and my skin now has the smoothest texture, which I don't think it's had since pre-pubescence. And it makes my foundation look super dewy and youthful too. It is SO much better than all the expensive face creams I have tried - including Creme de la Mer.

How much is the bum cream?

woodenchair · 24/02/2008 21:20

Going to get more personal now, do you have any blackheads and if so what did it do to them. Only ask because some creams make mine mine huge!

susiecutiemincepies · 24/02/2008 21:25

I also swear by it for many things how funny you have tried it too!!

It started for me, on incredibly painful chapped lips. It worked within ooo, 20 hours maybe? Then, i rubbed some into my hands one day when they were chapped and sore and dry. it also cleared that up within a day or so.

I dont tell anyone as they thing i'm rubbing dirt butt cream onto my face and mouth. Of course, its clean! So cheap too ( compared to proper 'wonder balms' )

I'm with you on this one... totally. And NO its not greasy at all

best not tell everyone, or there will be none left on the shelves by the morning.

Ooh, I've got some upstairs. I will be purloining it from the luscious-skinned DS tootsweet!

SoupDragon · 24/02/2008 21:31

It may be "butt cream" but the only ingredients are olive oil, vanilla and chamomile oil.

Unlike pile cream.

susiecutiemincepies · 24/02/2008 21:54

Thats why it's so great soupdragon lovely ingredients!

have you tried it too ? if not, you must I also have to point out here, that my dd has never had nappy rash. well, once actually, and it was technically thrush from Anti b's .

My mum has a pot of it at her house for when Izzy spends time there. I can't remember how much it is, but am getting low on it actually.... must pop into waitrose in the morning.

( we do have a pot each now btw... just incase cross contamination occurs by less skillful nappy changers )

janeite · 24/02/2008 22:11

Have you tried the solid coconut baby massage cream? That looks nice too. I was wondering if it's worth buying in the hope of persuading dp to give me a back massage cos I love the smell of coconut.

BumperliciousIsOneHotMother · 24/02/2008 22:12

Is this the stuff?

ProfessorGrammaticus · 24/02/2008 22:19

Oooh I think I'll order some!

BoysOnToast · 24/02/2008 22:20

i will try that...

made STUPID STUPID mistake of choosing the gelcream version when i thrillingly decided to treat myself to a pot of creme de la mer recently... had to give it to my mum as did F all for me [scowl]

oh - the coconut solid massage oil is nice. but rubbish for removing cradle cap (dont ask. i make some pretty dumb decisions sometimes)

MrsThierryHenry · 24/02/2008 22:20

Woo-hoo! I'm 33, with combi skin and am just running out of my lovely Lush moisturiser. Waitrose is closer to me than Lush, so guess where I'm headed tomorrow?! Thanks for the tip, FGT!

janeite · 24/02/2008 22:24

Lol - thanks BoysOnToast!

susiecutiemincepies · 24/02/2008 23:46

Bumerlicious: yes, thats the stuff. I also have the coconut massage oil. dd loves her massage with that. She lies back with her knees bent and crosses one leg over the top of her other knee, cracks me up, every time!

Woodenchair - I have a few blackheads and it hasn't made them worse.

SusieCutie - am pleased to have found someone else who was mad enough to put butt cream on their face!! It is definitely worth it though, isn't it?!!

No wonder, it's just olive oil - oldest recorded beauty product - I'm sure it's even mentioned in the old testament!

I love it too. I've been using it for years, mainly on my body though. Yummy smell.

On the face, works well as a moisturizing mask once in a while. Think it would clog pores on a daily basis?

Also recommend using olive oil as mask for hair and mixed with salt for a body scrub.

susiecutiemincepies · 25/02/2008 16:23

oooo, good ides slim22 Got to be the main ingredient in most shop bought body scrubs I'm sure.

yes FGT, totally worth it. Idont use it every day, as I have a gorgeous clarins one that I was bought and love the smell of, and it is fab too. How often do you use the botty butter?

bossybritches · 25/02/2008 16:28

Any one know a marketing manager in Waitrose??

Maybe MN will have a "Delia" effect .....we should warn them!!

FriedGreenTomatoes · 25/02/2008 21:17

I use it every morning and every night Susie

BB - maybe I should seek commission from Waitrose! LOL

bossybritches · 25/02/2008 22:48

Well maybe you should!!!

off to waitrose in the morning!!

hatwoman · 25/02/2008 22:55

well I'm off to add to the Delia effect

policywonk · 25/02/2008 22:58

I've just put some on (face not bum). I can report that I feel extremely greasy, as though I have just shoved my face into a portion of fish and chips.

Will post results (if any) in the morning...
