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.

well I used it this morning and I have to say I am impressed so far.

I'll wait and see if I break out in spots though, but so far I am looking gorgeous and youthful!

bossybritches · 26/02/2008 08:23

heads off to buy shedloads of botty cream

susiecutiemincepies · 26/02/2008 15:11

policywonk, maybe you used a little too much? A small amount does go a veeeeeeeerrry long way I've never felt particularly greasy tbh.

ggirl, well done for joining the youthful side...

bossybritches · 26/02/2008 15:13

Anyone heard from policywonk???

Her public are eager to know the results???!!

policywonk · 26/02/2008 16:43

Helooooooo

OK, maybe I did use too much. Only read FGS's advice about thumbnail-sized blob after the application.

My skin (and hands) did feel very soft afterwards. I don't feel very youthful but then am a bit under the weather today so it might not be the cream's fault.

Will try to use it in more sensible amounts tonight.

Eyes no more puffy and bloodshot than usual (am I painting a nice picture?)

bossybritches · 26/02/2008 19:17

Let's just say.....don't give up the day job in favour of advertising PW?????

policywonk · 26/02/2008 21:28

I'm feeling bad for FGT now.

Have just applied the prescribed thumbnail-sized blob and deffo feel less like a bag of chips than I did last night. Will try to get a good night's sleep and hopefully will emerge as plumptious and dewy as a princess tomorrow morning.

oh no - I don't get Waitrose in Scotland!!

midnightexpress · 26/02/2008 21:42

TracyK, you can buy it in John Lewis.

And they're opening a Wiatrose in Glasgow soon, so younever know...

midnightexpress · 26/02/2008 21:43

Waitrose.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 26/02/2008 21:46

LOL! So why did you decide to put arse cream on your face?

paddingtonbear1 · 26/02/2008 22:06

ok so is this worth a go then?
have a waitrose round the corner from work...

bossybritches · 26/02/2008 22:39

We'll do an export order TraceyK/Midnight if these experiments work!!!

susiecutiemincepies · 26/02/2008 22:40

Well, for me, it was after putting it on my lips. Then rubbing the excess off onto my hands and elbows which were really dry.
Had a really cold patch here, a few months ago, really windy and my face ended up really dry and sore. So... thought i'd put a bit on to see. Thats why I used the botty butter on a different set of cheeks

midnightexpress · 27/02/2008 09:54

thanks bossybritches - am already patricipating in the experiment using my bottom butter purchased at our local John Lewis.

Am still waiting to emerge from my chrysallis as gorgeous butterfly, but that may have more to do with several years of broken nights and advanced age than inneffectiveness of product. Perhaps it will just take a little longer to penetrate my hide. Will keep you posted.

hatwoman · 27/02/2008 19:46

bought mine today. I won't use it during the day coz I like an spf. but I'll try it at night and report back.

Cataline · 27/02/2008 20:01

I also am a secret bottom butter lover!!
I've used it since before DS was born as I have incredibly dry skin. I also swear by the coconut oil as a body lotion. And they're so cheap!! I also love the fact that you can just get them delivered along with your groceries - one less thing to have to buy separately!

NAB3wishesfor2008 · 27/02/2008 20:02

I have it for my babba but he is way past nappy cream. Might just use it for my moisturiser.

okay, so where the flippin' heck is my nearest Waitrose?! I'm in S Wales... hmmmmm

WaynettaSlob · 28/02/2008 13:05

BLimey - I have an Ocado shop coming tomorrow night so shall be adding this to the list!

Kindersurpise · 28/02/2008 13:07

Bum.

Bet I cannot get it in Germany. And Mum is in Scotland. Did someone say JL stock it? Do they deliver?

Off to look at JL website.

I have very dry lips so definately worth trying.

Kindersurpise · 28/02/2008 13:17

Hmm, not on Waitrose site or JL

Have found a shop in Corfu that stocks it.

mummypig · 28/02/2008 13:22

Just wondering... if all this botty cream has in it is olive oil, chamomile and vanilla, couldn't you just mix some olive oil in a tub with a little bit of chamomile essential oil and some vanilla essence and keep it in the fridge to solidify? Sounds like it would have much the same effect and cost a lot less than £2 per 100 ml (although I do appreciate it is already significantly cheaper than most fancy moisturisers).
