    Gigi, have a look here, B Never is the newish store by the same people that run Lush, its just like the posh older sister version. Its located right next door to Lush in Carnaby St, and their packaging is exquisite. But yes you are right, the B Never shower gel has been discontinued, but by the name I guess the idea for the shop has been kicking about for a while...

    Yes I have, it is gorgeous - between that and Buffy, with the massage bars every now and then, my skin stays so soft!

    Ooh yeah hair straightners i'd say are probably more essential to me than anything else :yes:

    I actually prefer Buffy, and it lasts longer as well, but my favorite is You Snap the Whip because it smells amazing...

    I use it on my lips primarily. Though if I don't have a moistourizer at hand I use it for dry skin as well.

    I love nivea compack deoderant (concentrate) and the deogerant (dry). They smell great, especially the concentrate one. And I love the fact it can fit into my make-up bag. Makes me smell like flowers.

    And I love mabelline (sp) one-by-one mascara. I have longer lashes on top but shorter ones at the bottom and this mascara gets every single lash (top and bottom). Its quite pricey at £6 but is great and I love it.

    I'm also a fan of vasceline. Really fixes dry lips well.
    Dove soap is great for my skin (and my face), especially the exfoliating one! :D

    It's Brylecreem 'Ultra-Styling' on the highest grade because without it I just wouldn't be beautiful!

    Oh and my Old Spice cus otherwise I'd smell like a troll :eek2:

    Despite being a cosmetics junkie I'm actually a bit of a cheapskate on beauty stuff, mostly because if i did allow myself to buy expensive things that's where all my cash would go hence the following (although i love them all):

    Vaseline
    Eyedrops
    Rimmel hide the blemish, a wonder for my partying life
    Stargazer neon green paint for my eyes [complete strangers always compliment me on this]
    Barry M/ stargazer loose glitter in all shades (Fellow modette Lucy friend has treated me to B beautiful glitter in pinky red which is also fab and comes in a lovely wooden pot).
    Eyeliner - bright blue or kohl, rimmel/ collection 2000
    I don't wear lipstick - i drink pints, it's too much hassle.
    Garnier nutrisse hair dye - black or blue black ... i've tried most hair dyes, for normal shades this is the best IMHO

    I use really basic no scent sensitive moisturiser and eye make up remover, but swear by clean and clear sensitive cleanser.

    One thing i never scrimp on is perfume... I'm going through an organza phase but also love happy and babydoll.

    If i were rich I'd love urban decay eyeshadow even more...

    I most miss bodyshop all-in-one base in perfectly fair, the new one is too yellow. I use 17 foundation and powder now. It's nowhere near as good.

    ---- i don't post in here enough anymore, bet you miss my expertise ;) ----

    Go Susie, you Beauty Queen!!

    And I forgot to add, my eyelash curlers are another thing I wouldn't want to live without, and I'm with byny on the E45 thing, especially with a few drops of essential oil in it.

    I love cocoa butter too. Not necessarily the palmers one, all cocoa butter smells lovely. Makes me smell of chocolate.

    Eight hour cream.
    Just discovered it. I love the smell, and it is a fab lip gloss but doesnt make my lips feel gloopy and sticky.
    My mum gave me some, and I just want to use it all the time.
