I've just had this jumper arrive which I was all set to send back (ordered a bit too much online recently Blush) but just couldn't, loved the colour, feel and fit, perfect for this time of year.

Mac Prep+Prime Fix+ spray. I always used the Urban Decay makeup setting spray but I find this much better. Great in combo with The Ordinary foundations, never had makeup stay on so well and for so long.

I'm currently thrilled with Peter Thomas Roth pumpkin enzyme mask. It gives new skin, and smells amaaaaaaaze.

DP is so impressed with the results he's demanded I pumpkin him at the weekend. He's bald though so he'll have to tell me where his face stops. That stuff is precious!

Lollllll

@charlottesshoeszzzz I had to buy 5.5 as they didn’t have 6... fingers crossed they fit (if I like them I’ll cut my toes off a la ugly sisters!)

Charlottesshoezzzz · 09/10/2018 13:48

@Smellyrose will be praying that they fit and if not I hope toe extraction process isn't too painful 🙏🏻

@MorrisZapp giggling here re the 'he will have to tell me where his face stops' comment 😂 I did look up the pumpkin mask but I already do extreme facial exfoliating ( I use glycolic products & I do my own TCA peels ) although I was extremely tempted to by the pumpkin mask as it sounds delightful I fear if I add any other exfoliating products I may wake up one day with no face! I would set some clear boundaries here re doing your partners face with such expensive luxury products... I would put masking tape where his face starts & ends so face is in a tape hole lol ... I put expensive face mask on boyfriend recently & all he did was whine ' oh it's burning etc ' I hit him & told him beauty is pain & to man up 👊🏻 and one should be thankful has girlfriend that takes care of him & wants to make his skin look pretty! He did love the end result though.

I've just ordered both of these dresses (at least one of which will go back). I feel sick at the £199 (from DEBENHAMS?!?), but it is silk, and I LOVE it. It's to dress up for a naice dinner with ILs, hopefully Xmas season, and dress down for work:

LOVE

like not as much

knitknack · 09/10/2018 18:43

Spainish - stock up on the ordinary products... American sites are saying they’re going for good :( sobs

Barbayagar · 10/10/2018 09:51

I got this beautiful cord dress, but it was a little roomy so am swapping it for a smaller size, Now really need to stop buying until Christmas!

I like that dress Barbayagar but although I have the legs for it, I have larger boobs, do you think it would work on me?

Doingreat · 10/10/2018 20:56

@anneloves can you link the mua mascara pleeeeese? Tia

OxanaVorontsova · 10/10/2018 21:01

Yes this! just wish it was cold enough to wear it

Smellyrose · 11/10/2018 11:41

I’ve just received the Ugg boots and they are perfect! Exactly what I’ve been looking for, for winter - thank you for the recommendation!

BusterGonad · 11/10/2018 13:35

I've recently moved abroad and have been indulging in make up, Revlon to be exact. I've bought all the colours of the Colorstay cream eyeshadow and also Charlie Gold and White perfume and love them all! The perfume is surprising gorgeous! Blush

Has anyone bought anything they're thrilled with recently?
BusterGonad · 11/10/2018 13:48

I'll just in my country they only have 5 different colours of the eyeshadow! Bummer!

These patent brogue type shoes - totally different to anything I've worn before but I love them.
Also this blazer from H & M - I love the longer length of it.

Both jacket and shoes look lovely, Ella! What is the blazer called?

A C&A pale pink and white spotty shirt dress. It's from the 90's, I think, and i'm in love.

glass3quartersfull · 11/10/2018 20:19

This dress is a really great fit and looks way more than £12.
I love the autumnal colours, I’m really pleased with it

This dress from Mango. I love maxi dresses and rarely find ones I like let alone love - this is gorgeous and flow-y and makes me feel great when I wear it.

AuntyJackiesBrothersSistersBoy · 11/10/2018 21:20

A lipstick. A bit boring, I know but I have bloodless lips and in colder weather they go blue. It’s nothing medical, I am just deathly pale. So, have bought variously priced lip pies over the years. Last week was in M&S and tried on an Autograph one which is perfectly matte but not drying. Colour stays after a coffee (not two!) and brings my complexion to life. Very pleased.

Some pure merino Benetton knitwear for £7.99 at tkmaxx

I have a petrol blue velvet jacket almost exactly like that one from Massimo Dutti in my wardrobe - never thought of wearing it with trainers and a t shirt.

Lottapianos · 11/10/2018 22:31

DYING about the velvet Massimo Dutti jacket. Sorely tempted
