I like YSL Paris. Always have.

My mother usually brings me the body lotion and shower gel because I don't hold a scent well and need to layer.

I have run out of the gel, which I use as a bath foam as well.

But tonight, I did have some Rose bath milk MIL brought me from Waitrose in Edinburgh.

Wow!

It is an excellent substitute for the real thing as it gives you a nice rose base.

Could work for any rose based scent.

Have you discovered any sub like this?

I once used moist bum wipes to take my make up off.

Boots Expert face creams are fabaroonie. I have always been a clinique girl but the Boots Expert stuff is cheap as chips and works much better (apart from the eye make up remover which is crap). And of course you often get them on buy one get one free/3 for 2.
