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.

OMG I am off to get some NOW!!!!

TracyK · 10/03/2008 14:56

Anyone doing a Waitrose shop and can pick me up a pot? We've none in Scotland and I haven't hoofed into town to JL yet and I'm not sure they'll have it.

I'll pay for it and P&P obv.

bossybritches · 10/03/2008 18:49

TracyK when I do track some down I'm going to empty the shelf!!

I'll let you know-

andyrobo237 · 10/03/2008 19:58

If anyone gets some can I pay for a pot as well??!! Waitrose will surely be reading this and re-brand it at £20!!!! I wil try an Ocado shop this week and see if it is on the list....

Jazzicatz · 10/03/2008 20:04

Sorry to be a real bore, BUT I got some after reading this from local Waitrose, and have religiously for two weeks been putting it on morning and night and have not seen a difference at all!

hazeyjane · 10/03/2008 22:22

Hello Pootleflump (like your name), will glady send you pot, I'll work out postage tomorrow, don't know what being catted means, sorry. I can give you my e-mail if that helps.

cheeryface · 11/03/2008 09:29

this stuff has worked absolute wonders on my hands, i can't understand why it disagreed with my face.

i woke up after applying the night before and washed my face, it felt really stingy around my nose (sort of where u get the nose to mouth lines) and on my cheeks.

i had a glow, but not in a good way lol. didn't need any blusher!!

i will continue to use on hands and other dry bits though.

anyone else got any reviews?

mum2samandalex · 11/03/2008 14:23

well im gutted i went over the bridge today to my nearest wairose- had to pay toll fair and everything but no baby bum butter on the shelves they had everything but. It doesnt even look like they sell it as i couldnt see an empty space on the shelf . Feeling deprived now ended up paying a fiver for their face cream hoping it will have the same effects but doubting it >>

TracyK · 11/03/2008 16:16

Thanks Bossy - I may be going into town on Thurs to JL - so will see if they have any and will let u know if I'm successful.

JackieNo · 11/03/2008 16:18

I've decided it's too much for my rather spot-prone face, but my neck's loving it, plus hands, elbows etc.

blousy · 11/03/2008 16:22

I've just bought some - they had lots in my local Waitrose. It smells gorgeous. Shall be applying it to my sun damaged decolette, with high hopes!

rosealbie · 11/03/2008 16:24

I'd love to try a pot of this but my nearest Waitrose is Bath I think. If anyone is willing to post me a pot plus postage I would be very pleased.

Meeely2 · 11/03/2008 16:45

can anyone tell me where the nearest Waitrose is to Mansfield (Nottinghamshire)? We have millions of tescos and asda's but think the nearest waitrose is in Notts itself.....

bossybritches · 11/03/2008 17:03

meeeely- There is one in Newark but it's the one I'm stalkingsetting up camp in

Also one in the top end of Lincoln if you ever get over this way!!

Ok so what's the news from our early guinea pigs then?

Still think it's The New Best Thing ? FGT? Policywonk?

policywonk · 11/03/2008 17:08

I'm quite pleased with it. It's definitely good on the dry areas of my face, and on my hands. In general I suspect that my face is too naturally greasy to get the full benefit - I tend to suffer from spots rather than wrinkles, so this might not be the best product for me. However, it's so cheap that it's got to be worth a go, eh?

On the cheap tip, the Grauniad on Saturday was recommending 'Reverse Ultimate Lift Day Cream' by Bharti Vyas for Tesco (£8.47). They reckons that it's as good as Creme de la Mer. Anyone have any experience of this??

PatsyCline · 11/03/2008 17:09

Oh no, the miracle bum butter has given me spots and I am not a spotty girl normally! I am ,however, going to keep using it on my hands and cleavage!

SheikYerbouti · 11/03/2008 17:14

I'm too scraed to try it because I am prone to spottiness, even though my skin is dry as a bone

Anyway, I might buy some as a body moisturiser, but I donlt hold much hope of our local 'Trose stocking it because they are shite

LyraSilvertongue · 11/03/2008 20:35

I finally got some today!
The Waitrose in the next town, which I go to once a week, had loads so I bought two pots. I'll apply it before bed tonight and expect a completely new skin by the morning

mum2samandalex · 11/03/2008 20:36

Well i decided to email them as not impressed and this is the reply.

Thank you for your e-mail.

I have researched our product assortment database and I am pleased to advise that Waitrose Baby Bottom Butter is stocked in our Saltash branch.

This is currently unorderable by the branch due to supplier issues.

Regards,

Sarah Callum

Waitrose Customer Service.

SheikYerbouti · 13/03/2008 10:46

Hvae asked pd to get me some

SheikYerbouti · 13/03/2008 14:00

bossybritches · 14/03/2008 10:20

So whaddya think then Lyra??

TheHonEnid · 14/03/2008 10:28

It is miles too greasy for my face - I looked like an oil slick by 10 - and I am normal slighltly combo not overly greasy.

Is lovely on sun wrinkled chest though

snowleopard · 14/03/2008 10:28

Like a haggard sheep following the herd, I had a look in Morningside Waitrose yesterday (just passing by the baby aisle as I stocked up on toddler snacks, obviously...)

It was all gone! I pictured a throng of Scottish MNers throwing themselves through the doors at 8am three weeks ago - I was so too late.

SheikYerbouti · 14/03/2008 12:57

I WANT SOME
