Korres is sometimes on half price offer at Waitress and i stock up then. The fig or black roses are my favourites. Failing that L'Occitane Almond Oil Shower gel isn't cheap but it is lovely.

Boots Sanctuary or Soap and Glory

I love Moulton Brown's Pink Pepperpod, and Heavenly Gingerlily. I also like Lush's Happy Hippy because I love the smell of grapefruit.

Organic Surge every time! - especially the lavender one. Not the cheapest, but lasts for ages as you only need a small amount.

Neals yard....organic and smell delicious also you can choose whether you want one to perk you up or relax you. Or I go the other way and use Sanex because its so mild and fragrant free....so I can then use a lovely perfume and not clash.

I should stick to the Liz Earle Maw it spoils you for anything else. Although Molton Brown is lovely. It's what I buy my DIL. Luckily we have an outlet shop not too far away.
Boots No 7 do a nice shower oil. Useful to use up those £5 off vouchers they keep giving out.

I like Moulton Brown in its many different fragrances and the bottles look gorgeous lined up on the side of the bath.

I got some Black Acres Soap Pantry for Christmas. It is gorgeous but think it might be made locally in Nottingham. Not near you I think?

Devastated to find my favourite (Liz Earle) shower body wash was empty this morning, I dug out an " emergency" (Waitrose) bottle I keep for guests who might have forgotten their own. I know, mean of me.
Anyway, I was so disappointed. It was cheap, but had no smell and it was so watery it was like washing with dilute washing up liquid!
So I suspect you get what you pay fir and more expensive products will feel nicer and last longer. But I have run out of Christmas smellies and it's not my birthday for another 3 weeks, so, what to buy?
Recommendations please!!
