£60 to treat myself in Debenhams...

My MIL very kindly bought me a bottle of perfume for Christmas. Unfortunately, she bought me the same one last Christmas and I've still got most of a bottle left! I took it back to Debenhams and they gave me £60 on a gift card. Woohoo!

I'd like to treat myself to something that I wouldn't normally buy, so maybe really naice beauty products. What would you recommend? There are all the usual luxury brands here - Clarins, Clinique etc.

I'm 39 with normal skin which is a bit prone to break outs and generally looks a bit knackered!

Whatever you get i would spend it quick. I like Ysl tient eclait foundation a lot.

Yes, spend it fast. Debo’s do Kat Von D make up, I’d waste my £60 on that.

I'd buy urban decay naked skin foundation and their eye primer

mycatplotsdeath · 29/12/2018 20:09

I would spend it on the Lancôme counter
But seriously spend it quick

I’d go for a eye palette from Bobbi Brown or Urban Decay. Lipstick set from Bobbi Brown or Mac or similar.

Sigh *an eye palette

Why spend it quick?

Debenham's are next for the chopping block. Spend it quick.

Lightsdown · 29/12/2018 21:13

It is been reported widely that Debenhams made a large loss and are planning store closures.

Double serum

Definitely perfume!

You could also get an amazing price for 100ml/75ml perfume gift sets as gifts sets have gone into sale but not the actual normal perfume. For example John Lewis sells Gucci Bloom 100ml for about £100, but the Gucci Bloom 100ml gift set is on sale for £66 which is like the price of the 50ml bottle and includes extra products!

They have opened two new stores round here expect they will close the crappier stores would spend on naked palettes from urban decay as goes along way

Some great suggestions, thanks! Yes, I'll get there ASAP. Had been thinking of getting some Flash Beauty Balm but it's had very mixed reviews on here...

I just bought the urban decay born to run palette. It is a thing of beauty and would leave you £21 to buy something else as well.

Beauty id buy clarins and loccitane maybe with some rituals thrown in
Makeup it would be too faced peaches and cream foundation, primer and loose powder
