clinique - hold on will look in bathroom - aromatics elixir body smoother about £20 - but you're worth it. LOL

[Connemmara]

I was watching one of those thrifty tv shows a few weeks ago, they suggested using a cheaper non scented one and quirting a bit of your favourite perfume in it before rubbing on your skin.

BTW, Mazies's recommendation is fab, I love Elixir but the OH doesn't like it :(

It's awful stuff ..you walk about smelling like a coconut .
I use Eau Dynamisante by Clarins.Pricey too but lovely and you don't need a lot so it lasts for ages .

[mazie]

Great minds conne x

[fruitsalad]

Thanks ladies will pay the clinique counter a visit and try some.. it will be worth spending extra after all the money i have wasted on cheaper ones it turns out i never like or use again

I use the perfume to that Shaney, it's wonderful, real fresh smelling.

More (cheaper) lotions that are fab are from The Sanctuary, I have loads with orange lids (they all smell the same) and perfume to go with it, that's what I wear in winter and Clarins for the summer.

It's lovely rocky ..I use the perfume too .I call it Eau de Dynamite !
It is expensive so it's always on my Christmas and birthday list .That way I get enough of it to see me through the year ..lol.

Palmers cocoa butter do a fragrance free version, they also have olive and shea butter ranges that also dont smell. If you like the palmers just get fragrance free one,
however, my favourite moisturiser has to be the garnier 7 days sensitive skin, its in a white and blue bottle. It stopped my dermatitis from coming up and it lasts until the next day-yiu can even feel it washing off and it does not have a lingering smell. Its only about £4 for a big bottle or aroudn £3 for the smaller one and i swear by it. I dont think moisturisers that cost alot of money are actually any better than the high street ones such as the E45 lotions and garnier 7 adsy intensives

Cocoa butter is a bit ponky.

It's like Hawaiian Tropic sun oil.

Maybe you'd like the smell of Palmers more if you sat in the garden.

I have a Garnier one which is for very dry skin in a light green bottle but it smells a bit of cocoa butter which I'm not keen on. Will have a look out for the blue and white one.

There used to be loads about with all lovely fruity flavours, scrubs too, but a lot of them seem to have disappeared - maybe some out round Christmas gift time!

I was tempted to try the Body Shop body butters but they are expensive.
