Estee Lauder double wear foundation or advanced night repair serum - no
Jo Malone item - no

Only 2. One skincare, one clothing. Neither are hardly used.
I get a full house on Anna Magnani's list if I swap lose for gain.

1 beauty 6 clothes but, as a Pp said, I am middle aged!

LBOCS2 · 11/05/2019 20:35

4+3. Not terrible.

And of the ones I don't have... I went to an 'evening with' the owner of 4160 Tuesday, and came away with someone else's perfume as I didn't like any of hers 😳

I haven't bought a Parlux for me yet because my 17yo hairdryer is still working. When it breaks, that's what I'll replace it with. I have purchased one though as it's what i bought DSis for Christmas...!

And DH bought me a Mulberry handbag. I made him take it back because it wasn't what I'd asked for for my birthday spoilt, much? and now I don't get handbags as gifts any more. Ever.

LunaTheCat · 11/05/2019 20:37

Seven☹️

HumptyNumptyNooNoo · 11/05/2019 20:37

Ha - parlux, jo Malone and Mulberry!

PickAChew · 11/05/2019 20:37

Just 3.

Clinique clarifying lotion (salicylic acid - I just use it on the occasional break out or if I get rough patches, in winter) a lumea for my gorilla legs and assorted breton tops.

HumptyNumptyNooNoo · 11/05/2019 20:38

Oh and some loafers from Russel and Bromley !

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 11/05/2019 20:38

And everything in the alternative list except wellies, because my old ones split and I haven’t replaced them yet.

Firebreathingwoman · 11/05/2019 20:51

7, but I'm currently looking like a scarecrow 😬

30not13 · 11/05/2019 20:54

6

Is that bad Blush

HarrietSchulenberg · 11/05/2019 20:57

0 from the original list

Several from the alternative list.

I am painfully aware that I resemble a fat bag lady.

AnyoneButAnton · 11/05/2019 21:03

7 from the official list although the clothes are mostly charity shop and the skin care mostly came from advent calendars.

Surprisingly few from the alternative list: I’m urban (no wellies), all my bras are black or nude, and I’m very good at offloading old clothes to the charity shop/rag bag (or my mother in the case of my lone fleece). I had to do some painting the other day and actually couldn’t find a pair of jeans that I’d be relaxed about getting paint on except for cutoffs I wear for rock pooling on holiday. I do have a pair of dog walking shoes though.

TeacupDrama · 11/05/2019 21:03

2 a few breton tops mostly by Boden, I have a couple of boden skirts too
