What nice, cosy comforting things should I buy myself for Autumn /Winter (skin and hair)

Body wise, I have some gorgeous L'Occitane soaps.

And with the "No Spend September" in mind, I'm using up all the half empty bottles and the Philosophy serum that "I don't really use but I don't want to throw it out" .
I have a litre of Phillip Kinglsey Elasticizor that I'm using weekly (my hair is very short and permenant dye)

So once I clear all the dreggie bottles, what nice things can I treat myself to.....?

Anyone use the No7 serums. Any good?

Hmmmm, I'm looking at Wen on QVC. I am tempted by the idea , then he said a 960ml bottle (that's huge ) should last 2 months. Eh?
I'd need to use 10-16 pumps of it (I have short hair)
Changes mind quickly.

I'm going to buy a litre of Shampure (Aveda)
Some Molton Brown ( bath stuff)

Went shopping on the weekend intending to use my Boots points (so a non-spend spend Grin ) but DH was with my, constantly 2 steps behind me like some pesky toddler, so I couldn't browse

I have L'Occitane almond oil (it's gorgeous isn't it Smile )
I bought a Nuxe honey lipbalm (it's huge and the jar is filled to the top, no half measures , though it was £9+)

Too lazy busy to use body lotions good job the L'Occitane is so rich.

I need something nice and moisturising for my face/neck once I've finished the serums. (Got some collagen gel that I make a thick mask with overnight. Oh, the glamour)

Never thought of cashmere socks though......

L'Occitane Shea hand cream and foot cream - perfect for cold weather, and yes, second the cashmere socks.
Elemis frangipani monoi oil - comes solid in a bottle, that you put in a glass of hot water to melt, then use as a body oil. I know you don't use body lotion, but this is a lovely treat on cold days after a hot bath.
