Normally I’m a try before you buy kinda person but I’m thinking of making an Online order to cheer myself up - possibly the Charlotte Tilbury copper eye palette and maybe a lipstick (or two)
Which style/ beauty items are you coveting?

I know its superficial but I did a John Lewis order at weekend
Couple of Hush T shirts to wear while WFH and a nice moisturiser some tan drops and an eyeshadow quad.
They arrived yesterday.
I know it's silly while we are in midst of this and I am not minimising DH is hospital consultant not in ITU but involved enough for me to know how bad things are/will be.
Some nice bits help (I also ordered books and plants for garden)
Order away if it helps.

Yes. I'm craving treats!!

Glad I’m not alone!
Feel like it’s ok to be a bit frivolous at the moment

If it helps, get ordering!

I've just ordered a facepack. a mascara, a couple of lipsticks and some eyeshadows from Wilkos - such great value and the quality is excellent! I am determined to keep making the effort even though I'm going nowhere.So far I get dressed as if I'm going in to work-although how long it will last I dont know Wink

I've ordered my Nexxus Emergencee shampoo & conditioner from Boots. I wanted No7 Protect & Perfect spf15 day cream but it's out of stock!

It must be nice to be well off. I don't begrudge other people the right to want to lift their spirits but no I'm not itching to contribute to the demand in warehouses and send the couriers out for unnecessary itemsoin the basis I've been at home for one week. I live with a key worker in retailing and they are having to recruit large numbers of people to support this extra need for non essential luxuries to comfort ourselves, extra warehouse operatives working in conditions that are not sterilised and at less than 2m working, and extra couriers. No check required other than to verbally state you don't believe you have covid 19 at interview. These are people that need the jobs and couldn't afford this stuff in the first place so it seems crass and a bit of a privilege overload.

There are other ways to support ones mental health in these awful times, just because you can buy something doesnt mean you should. There are a lot of CEO's making a fortune in profit over this, tucked up away at home while retail workers risk their and their families lives to provide a service. IMO I would feel no better than them if i ordered something frivolous.

Agree dontgo

After I saw someone carrying a box of wine up our driveway a few days ago I realised this wasn't right and stopped luxury shopping.

Charlotte Tilbury let you return gently usee items for full refund so good if you want to try before you buy
