What are you favorite Lotions & Soaps & Perfumes?
I like St. Ives Aloe Vera, they don't test it on animals, but then I DO like Jergens, the old almond scent, and I like Cetaphil anti-bacterial, it's really gentle and LATHERS ! I love Carolina Herrera.

Sorry, just got out of the bathtub. I'm always in the bathtub.

2. Mmmmm..... baths......
I love baths and used to take at least one a day. I can't now because my water heater is so small, I have to heat water on the stove to get any depth. :grr:

I like Victoria's Secret Pear Glace lotion and bath gel. Please, please don't tell me it's tested on animals. I don't want to have to find a new one!

5. Body Shop...
...ginger shampoo is wonderful for dandruff. The hair wax is great and the Face Protector for blokes in fantastic.

Plus I've met Anita Roddick and she is a star. Really caring woman, but as hard as nails in going after the big corporations.

There's a similar outfit in Brazil, which I think is now in some other counties, called O Boticario. Good natural stuff.

Lush stuff is good too. The owner used to work for the Body Shop.

8. Oh wow thats so neat you met her, I saw her interviewed...
and I was so impressed with her. I think you hit it right on, she's a star. :)

Something I find so cool about The Body Shop, is pretty much everyone you talk knows about it, yet they do no advertising, I love that. :D

12. My favorite lotion (and bath gel) is Kiss My Face

6. My friend's lotions, etc.
www.aromatherapygoddess.com

I like light feeling lotions, soaps, etc. These aren't heavy or oily, but moisturize really well and have the aromatherapy benefits. I'm not very big on lots of fufu stuff, but these products really are great.

9. I like St Ives, too.
I can use the Clear Pore Cleanser to wash off eye makeup and it doesn't sting. And the Arpicot Scrub is good once or twice a week. They are cheap and do the job. I'ver worn Arpege for years and years and years.

14. I use it mostly for showering etc...
but I first used the regular castille for piercing aftercare. I bought the peppermint out of curiosity and the menthol like qualities made for a strange sensation when used on certain healing, pierced body parts.

11. My own glycerin soap
You can buy big blocks of glycerin soap at the craft store and make your own glyercin soaps. I LOVE THEM, esp the olive oil blend. I add my own scents and colors.

20. That's Mrs. V.'s current cream shower soap.
And her other favorite fragrance.

I also like Pearberry but I think they discontinued it. Damn their eyes.

I love that White Tea & Ginger when she uses it... :evilgrin:
