Update - in my first post i said:

"Walmart's SIMPLY BASICS Brand:-
NUT Butter - body butter - comes in a dark brown tub
(note: not the cocoa/coconut butter)
it better than any body butter i've tried (incl. Body Shop)
and super duper cheap ($5.99 CAD)
it's better than LIFE Brand too, but LIFE is a close second."

....but i just bought a new tub cuz mine ran out
and it's changed!!!

The scent's changed as has the formula.

The formula's not bad - it's not as great as before
i'm so sad about the scent - it's not horrid, but it was perfect.... was....

and


okay but it's still worth a try

My absolute, forever, desert island product would be Johnsons baby wipes. They are great for everything -
1. Cleanse and moisturise you face
2. Can be used for quick cleaning of hands when there's no soap
3. Can use as deo / body wipes on hot day
3. Clear up mascara spills on face
4. They are a fraction of price of cosmetic company face wipes and are twice the size
5. They can remove fake tan from skin when you've spashed too much on
6. Good for freshening up face for post-works drinks
(7. Can also be used "down there" on your bits too)

AND they clean leather shoes really well.

They are so cheap. Supermarkets often do deals on multi-buys.
Never leave home without them!
Also, my bofriend sayes he loves that baby smell of my face when we get into bed at night - Awww!

 

[gruveechik]

hey fab tip!!

are they better than 'Wet Ones' or 'Huggies' brands?

 

[Fashion Puss]

I think that they are marginally better, but I am biased because I've always had a thing for that baby smell. Essentially they do the same thing...

1. Bye Bye Blemish Drying Lotion - the same as Mario Badescu's but way cheaper and available at Walgreens.
2. 100% Shea Butter - perfect for scars and dirt cheap.
3. Cover Girl Nail Polish
4. Anything from the Queen Helene line, IMO
5. Burt's Bees lip balm.
6. Banana Boat Deep Dark Blend sunless tanner - I guarantee you will look Brazilian after using this stuff.
7. John Frieda Beach Blonde Lemon Lights - great for quick natural highlights without the mess of using lemon juice.

Ok, I'm done!

Oh yeah, just remembered two great lipglosses...Loreal's Glam Shine, makes your lips look huge and has shimmer. I have it in every shade. Also: Bonne Bell Lip Shake in Raspberry Orange Riot. Very close in color to MAC's Prrr but actually better quality I think. It has a thicker consistency and doesn't run the way Lipglasses like to do, oh yeah and it smells and tastes so yummy.
