After going to a v posh Michelin star restaurant for my birthday this week, I have gone in to full on beauty wanker mode by dashing out to buy far too many Aesop products. I will have exfoliated myself to a skeleton at this rate and have even bought the post poo drops and animal wash just in case my elderly cats want a pampering... they definitely won't.
I need to be stopped.I am a proper twat.

I really want to know where vivino works with Aesop handwash and balm?!

I often wonder why Aesop don't do candles, they would be amazing

Mine is Philosophy Hope in a Jar. I've probably spent more on other moisturisers but...

I'm in Australia so suspect that helps on the work Aesop front. And that's so funny about TF Black Orchid smelling like a man's crotch - my partner also hates it, perhaps that's why?!

I'm howling at this thread! I'm on the verge of spending £56 (it's reduced!) on a Cire Trudon spiritus sanctions candle because it smells like a church! I deserve a treat for not spunking £20 today on a huge bloody carrot! I'm on the wine too...I'm doomed!

I've actually out-twatted myself! Last night, when tipsy, I spent £35 on Tom Ford perfume FOR MY HAIR! 😮

Am agog at hysterical candle descriptions - very Bubbles Devere.

I have out-wankered myself by purchasing a shitload of Di Santa Maria Novella Pot Pourri and drawer papers/liners as a Christmas present to myself.

Warning: please do not google and definitely do not go to the Piccadilly Arcade store.

Crusty, naff pot pourri it ain't. This semi-detached currently has distinct wafts of Italian palazzo.

Aesop’s post poo drops are glorious but you are only a proper wanker if you refer to them in French: “Gouttes anti-odeur de merde”....oh la la
