What would you spend it on? I can add to it too, but would prefer to only top it up by £10 or so. Tia

I think it's Sali Hughes who said something about going for luxury in tiny packages when you've got a decent amount like that.

So, how about decadent lipstick like this www.boots.com/chanel-rouge-coco-ultra-hydrating-lip-colour-10192846?cm_mmc=bmm--Google+Boots+PLAs--(GB:Whoop!)+Boots+Shopping+-+Category+–+Premium+-+Mobile-_-(GB:Whoop!)+Chanel&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6c6KlK-n4AIVQrTtCh04FgLDEAQYASABEgJgFPD_BwE

Some perfumes are on offer, post the Christmas rush.

What are your beauty wants/needs?

Lumene · 06/02/2019 17:22

I would buy some cervae moisturiser or LRP retinol and boots spf I think

GlossyTaco · 06/02/2019 17:25

A good quality glass nail file and soap and glory speed plump mousse moisturiser.

You may not need these but I found them to be game changers.

Enjoy your gift cardSmile

Sanctuary bubble bath, loreal pure clay mask (maybe just three of these, they are THAT good), some hair care stuff from the Maui Moisture range.

It's just every day stuff but three things I can't live without.

WillYouDoTheFandango · 06/02/2019 20:33

My sister says this champneys bubble bath is the best she’s ever used (I’m allergic to everything so can’t tell you first hand).

She always requests it as a gift as she sees it as a real treat

Facial Skincare from La Roche Posay or a large tub of Soap And Glory Body Butter

Redshoeblueshoe · 06/02/2019 20:41

I was given one for £20, 2 years ago, and so far I've only managed to spend a fiver.
I think I need to pass it on to someone who will actually use it Grin

Isle of paradise tanning water

AmethystMoon · 06/02/2019 20:51

Obviously it depends on what you do with your nails......but I love Dior’s Nail Glow. One coat gives a really beautiful healthy colour/glow to your nail. Makes them look super healthy. It’s about £20 I think. I save my Boots points for it Grin

AmethystMoon · 06/02/2019 20:52

I don’t rate the Dior Lip Glow..... bought some expecting great things.....meh! Hmm

AdaColeman · 06/02/2019 21:04

Have a look at perfumes, quite a few are reduced ATM. such as Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire at £29:90.

Deathraystare · 08/02/2019 07:42

Quite a few beauty companies have stuff over from Christmas as good prices although I have to say the Clarins set of cleanser, toner and eye make up remover was £27 in House of Fraser and £22 in a fancy chemist!

stayathomer · 08/02/2019 07:53

You may be lucky and find some remaining gift sets-fingers crossed!Or I'd wait for a three for two/ half price sale or get loads of minis ( e.g. Aussie three minute miracle-a few sachets, some mini soap and glory/ sanctuary/ champneys stuff) or I'd get bumble and bumble hair care or hydraluron face masks ... I'm not helping you decide, am I?

Knitwit101 · 08/02/2019 07:56

I got some nice new make up brushes last week. Just 2, they were pricey. But lovely.

NewAndImprovedNorks · 08/02/2019 07:57

Tweezerman tweezers...they are stupidly expensive but totally and utterly BRILLIANT.

bananamonkey · 08/02/2019 14:49

I just bought IT cosmetics CC cream with my Advantage points (couldn’t justify it otherwise but I really wanted to try it). So next I’d buy their concealer.

DorothyZbornak · 08/02/2019 19:20

I'm very keen to try Benefit badgal bang mascara, so I'd spend it on that if it was me.
Sanctuary bath and body stuff is lovely too and often on 3-4-2 so you might be able to get say, a scrub, body lotion and bath foam for £25

Sakura7 · 08/02/2019 19:23

I second the Champneys bubble bath suggestion, it's gorgeous.
