Luurve their naranji hand wash, smells fab, but oddly don't like the matching handcream

Molton Brown ABC or Jo Malone, when my daughter buys it for me for Christmas.....Other than that whatever is on offer......
The Jo Malone fragrances are gorgeous
Which ones do you like? Might treat myself, but nowhere really local sells it, so would have to get it on-line, so a bot of a risk. I don't like anything too heavy
I haven't tried all of them as there are so many but my favourites are Lime Blossom and Nutmeg and Ginger
I am so off to look at this Jo Malone stuff... I have a few quid in MY account that he doesn't know about
Natura Ekos
I've got Neal's Yard for my face, and use Korres shower gel and body lotion. It smells so delicious I could eat it! mmmmm

Go for it girl - it's worth it
My mum always said it's worth spending the extra for your facial products as you only get one face so need to look after it.
If you're going for Jo Malone.. as I am outed as the woman who uses it every day.. 
then I highly recommend the lime, basil and mandarin for your daily shower or the grapefruit; the wild fig and cassis or the pomegranate noir for a bit of bawdy bathroom luxury in a bath oil (they also do a lovely soap in this); the orange blossom for a bit of slathering (lotion wise).
Not all together natch..

I do spend money on my face creams.... though I am loving the No.7 Perfect & Protect range... but I like one of the ROC ones too.
And as for the rest... well we have only just finished paying off one of my credit cards that was hilted to the 4 figures... on beauty crap! 
Tis only since I stopped working (and had to come clean about the Egg card to hubby), that I have curbed my spending.
However, I haven't had a proper treat for a while.... and this thread has pushed all my buttons

I do like anything with citrus, the fresher smelling the better. I'll have to check these out as well.

it's not cheap.. granted.. but you don't have to use much because the fragrance is very concentrated.. so it works out in the end..
and I'm a sucker for the cool cream and black boxes with the big fat black ribbons they come in..
*is resisting.. is resisting*
oh and if you get candles.. don't go for the little dinky ones that you get in like a box set.. go for one big one instead.. the littles ones look fab but the fragrance doesn't seem to be as powerful..
Jo malone
Can't decide between Lime, basil and mandarin, grapefruit, or nutmeg and ginger!!! Some of those candles are
who the hell can afford them???

gurlfriend.. when it comes to pampering.. no sacrifice is too great..
Yay.... (I am actually bouncing up and down... waving my arms about in excitment.... how sad is that!!!).
I think this proves I am long overdue a little online Ditty spend... I haven't felt like this since I broke in the Egg Card (on Creme de la Mer products )
And... money in my account is my xmas money, so is totally mines.

Jo Malone is pricey but well worth it

completely..
I ain't paying ÂĢ255 on a candle though!!
Just having a look at the Jo Malone stuff on ebay- there's loads of samples/minatures so might be worth testing them first?

Blurb about the jo malone orange blossom range....

Does a Jo Malone candle not look a bit unsightly once it's burned down a bit and gone sooty?
quote:Looks nice- and really reasonable, but no shower gels
they do tubs of shower butter - sweet orange or lime, since you don't do patchouli

No, Jo Malone candles have standards you know!

lol.. nah.. you're alreet..
all my friends think I'm barking mad.. until that is they have a little sample of it.. and then low and behold they're coming round with little plastic bottles for me to decant some to 'try'...
the stuff lasts for ages and a little goes a long way.. if it didn't then I wouldn't buy it..

I would expect for ÂĢ255 it would never look unsightly... in fact I would expect it to radiate a shimmering golden light for all eternity!

it does not go sooty...besides they send you really long matches so you don't have to do the upside down malarkey with a fag lighter..
class..

I'm not being funny but I had a look at the site and it looks a little old ladyish.
