Thanks hels. I'll have to put them on my list of things to try next!

I want to try the Aqua marina, but only because it looks like some yummy salmon roulade or something! Not sure Ocean Salt would be right for my skin but I'm sure if I ask for a little sample the girl will let me have one. Just want to try it! Be great if we were all together so we could each get something different and then just try each others!


Did you say that they'd given you a sample of one of the face masks?
I'm really keen to try one of those.

yeh, it's possible we just have totally different skin so what i recommend wouldn't necessarily be good for you. If the buffy is good for your skin, yet she warned me off, the aqua mirabilis may not be good for ya... even though I love it

I bought a load of stuff for my sister yesterday and I also got myself honey I washed the kids soap... I don't like it though, it just seemed to dry my skin right up. She also gave me a sample of coconut and something shower smoothie. This felt nice going on but literally seemed to leave my skin covered in oil :eek: . She gave me a sample of the ocean scrub too :rolleyes: I tried to tell her I already had it and ask for something different but it was already in the bag.

The face mask the girl gave me last week (I think I'll just go to that girl from now on cos she knew her stuff and what would suit me much better than any of the girls I spoke to yesterday) was made of avocados and was called 'crash course... ' something. It's brilliant though. Must use it again tonight cos it goes off on the 1st . How frequent can/should you use those things?

Actually she was gung ho to sell me the aqua mirabilis but I wanted to try the buffy. and I'm glad I did. But I will go with the aqua next time and compare them.
Ah bugger on the other sales girl! Not what you need at all! I don't about how often your supposed to use a mask. My understanding was once a week, but that doesn't leave you much time does it?
Truthful answer is I really don't know Hels.

well if she was trying to sell ya the aqua it must be good. Actually I think the girl I got last week was manager or something cos she really knew her stuff and tried to sell me as much as possible. It's lucky I didn't have much time

That shower smoothie gel thing I got yesterday IS nice but like I said it's very very oily and I just don't like oily stuff

I went back again Thursday night Hels and spent another $60 bucks! :eek:

Got the Baby face cleanser, the Sweet Japanese Girl cleanser, some of that mask can't remember the name of it and that Lemon cutical cream. And she gave me some coconut body wash and a small sample of coal face to try.

I tried both the cleansers yesterday and they were good. When I can be bothered I'll give the face mask a go. Anyway, I did ask how often I should use the mask, because I remember you asking that and she said 3 times a week if I liked or more or less depending. So I guess it's up to you how often you use it. I'll give it a go and see how often I can be bothered.

Oh and the lemon cutical cream is DEVINE!! Well it smells DEVINE anyway!

ah shit, mine goes off today so I'll give it one last use tonight and throw away the other half dammit, well thanks for asking for me.

I lost half of my ocean salt scrub to the shower drain the other night :eek:

Ooh! Hels! :eek: Thanks for posting!! I just remembered I've still got the mask in the fridge and I haven't tried it yet!!

Best I be getting onto it tonight too!

And don't throw yours out!!! The girl I spoke to said that it's a best before date, but some people find that it's ok past that date, SO maybe do it tonight and maybe tomorrow or the next day? I mean if you can be bothered and it's still smelling ok and looking ok, I'd give it another couple of goes this week and try to use it up.

I tried that charcoal face scrub stuff today in the shower and I think I prefer it to all the other cleansers. The baby face and sweet japanese girl leaves a film on my face. I don't mind that when it happens with the Buffy on my butt but not on my face so much!! I also used the coconut body wash stuff today. I like it! But I'm still loving the Sympathy for skin body lotion and the Lemon Flutter cuticle cream the best!

hmm... maybe I'll give it another couple of days... although I did have it out of the fridge a good bit over the weekend... cos I brought it home thinking my sister and niece might use some up... but they didn't.

have you tried the ocean salt facial scrub yet? It's amazing... and no film

Do you not find the coconut body wash stuff to be very oily?

It should be ok. I mean use it tonite and check it out before you use it again.
If it smells funny or looks different, I'd throw it out.

After talking to the girl, we decided that the ocean salt facial scrub might be no good for my skin. It gets irritated pretty easily. Used to have to be really careful when I was surfing, coz I'd get reef rash.

I used the body wash on my arms and legs where the skin has been really dry and I found it a lot less oily than the bohemian soap or the buffy. I need a little bit of moisture. The best thing about it was it didn't run down into the bath and make everything slippery!

It's funny how we like different stuff huh?

yep... we obviously just have completely different skin... shit, there must be something we have in common do you have curly hair? Try the curly wurly shampoo... it's great... but I'm sure you've straight hair

i am learning so much reading your girlie talk.

Ok, mask is off! Skin is feeling very clean!

Guess we'll see what happens in the next day or so.

what's the name of the mask? I had the crash course in skincare one. You... obviously don't!

I don't know if it has been mentioned yet (because I didn't read the whole thread), but using deodorant on your bikini line will stop the bumps, and itchiness. The more mild the better.

You can also use baby power, but it doesn't work as well.

A stripper told me that once. I don't know why (she told me). But it does work.

I also use regular body lotion as make-up remover. It works like a charm.

No! Actually Hels, I think it is Crash Course in Skincare!!

Yay!! Finally!! Something in common!

:eek: Yay! Isn't it fabulous?
