Just that really !

Lockdown has got me pretty down and as it's payday weekend I wanted to ask what small things you're treating yourselves too .... I'm also missing a Saturday mooching & shopping ☹️

So far my list is ;

Mumsnet recommended Origins Ginger Fizz bath float www.marksandspencer.com/ginger-float-cream-bubble-bath-500ml/p/hbp60151640

Pomegranate Candle from a small company in my area that just launched www.celonalondon.com/

Also got my eye on some Panzers cookies panzers.co.uk/bakery/panzers-valentines-linzer-biscuits/

Inspire me !!! Bath products !! Brownies in a box . What are you buying?

Lighthearted fun please. Yes I know we are in a pandemic.

I just ordered some faux leather burgundy trousers - may be awful but we'll see.

I also treated myself to some PP fragrances - JM nectarine Apple blossom, NR, Stella and JM Oudd bergamot.
I know them all well so looking forward to seeing if they're true to originals.

I have just ordered this make-up bag: amelialiana.com/the-goddess-makeup-bag/

I am so far from a goddess Grin . But I like the design.

lazylinguist · 31/01/2021 19:13

A selection of Nesti Dante soaps. Not very exciting I know, but I love the smell of them and haven't had any for a while!

JofraArchersFastestBall · 31/01/2021 19:13

I've really felt the urge to comfort shop this week. Perhaps we've reached the retail therapy stage of the pandemic?

I've bought lovely new oxblood monkey boots uk.nps-solovair.com/products/s7-116-ox-g?countrycode=GB&variant=19778859073600

Plus a couple of glass animals off eBay. I very sporadically collect them - and find them lovely and tactile and soothing somehow.

I've also got a tk maxx voucher burning a hole in my pocket and I'd like to treat myself to some new underwear or beauty products - but I don't like their website. Think I'll have to wait until we can go back into the shops.

MistressWeatherwax1 · 31/01/2021 19:45

I had a rough week and went a bit ott with the retail therapy. Tomorrow's deliveries include:

Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter
Vieve eyeshadow palette
Black invisbobbles (boring but needed)
A glycolic egg-shaped face soap
Korean Italy towels
Gosh Mineral foundation
No 7 Eyelash serum
Alpha H Liquid Gold

And a pile of sweatshirts, t-shirts and jackets that probably won't fit or suit and will go back.

KittyKat70 · 31/01/2021 20:12

Hair dye ....a lot because we wont be at the hairdressers for sometime.
Elasticizer
New underwear
Flowers to cheer up elderly parent

Ordered this when I was getting DC some new trainers

It is beautiful & I actually feel attractive in it, will definitely become a wardrobe staple for years to come. shame I don’t have anywhere to where it to at the moment! Grin

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 31/01/2021 20:19

I've ordered a black Ravello top and a black roll neck jumper from the Boden sale.

Currently doing a John Lewis order - so far it's got Double Wear foundation and Benefit Dandelion in.

Volcanoexplorer · 31/01/2021 20:21

It was Caroline Hirons’ winter kit on Friday. I didn’t get a kit, but I did use one of the discount codes to get some nice bits from Ren. I’ve also ordered another a foundation from Bobbi Brown and got a free brush with it.

Baycob · 31/01/2021 20:24

Neom pillow mist.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 31/01/2021 20:39

A beautiful 80s mohair jumper on Depop - very It’s a Sin
Not really treaty, but an order of shower gel, deodorant, body lotion etc to keep us stocked up
And these jeans from Arket:

5128gap · 31/01/2021 20:44

I'm thinking about whether to invest in some sort of ultra therapy device for tightening loose skin after losing weight. Can't decide though as confused by the options, and they're not cheap so also worry about waiting money if it doesn't work.

5128gap · 31/01/2021 20:45

Oops! Just realised you said small. They're small in size though not cost!

Daisy829 · 31/01/2021 20:48

Fairfax & favor handbag & purse 😬 also some shoes & a dress from boden but they will probs go back. I’m on no spend feb now. I’ve been a bit spendy in January.

smoothieooo · 31/01/2021 20:51

Oooh I like the look of those M&S trousers JMAngel1 - I have the burgundy leather look leggings which I love! I should never browse these threads as I’ll probably be a lot poorer come tomorrow 😁

FuckingHateRats · 31/01/2021 20:52

I have taken delivery of a 'treat yourself' package, including ESPA bath oil and body oil, a new ESPA serum, CeraVe eye repair cream, LRP riche moisturiser, LRP cicaplast baume, and then a freebie ESPA kit with repair balm, some shower gel, an overnight moisturiser and some hair mud.

In my defense I rarely ever do that.

I'm contemplating rose petals for my bath for true spa experience. Need to talk myself out of it haha

Imissmoominmama · 31/01/2021 20:56

I just bought some soap from the Cornish Seaweed Soap Co. It’s lovely.

I’ve also ordered a Patagonia waterproof jacket for summer.

And I booked a valentines afternoon tea box for my friend who is going through a really crappy time.

PBJelly · 31/01/2021 21:10

I bought this cardigan, which I’d had my eye on for a while and finally decided to go for.

Offredismysister · 31/01/2021 21:34

Some cotton pyjamas from their nibs, some new bedding from Emma j Shipley & a
MAC eyebrow pencil.

headhurtstoomuch · 31/01/2021 21:47

@FuckingHateRats - can I ask where from? Sounds perfect

KimKsButt · 31/01/2021 21:53

Ive ordered some aromatherapy bath oil after reading a thread on here!!

NeedWineNow · 31/01/2021 22:45

I'm on the No Spend thread but had to confess to buying a new microwave, kettle and toaster today (so rock 'n' roll). DH is watching Match of the Day so I'm browsing the Longchamp sale. I quite fancy a Le Pliage tote as my summer one is looking a bit tatty.

diamondsandrose · 31/01/2021 22:49

Ordered a Lux LED face mask as my friend has it and I have FOMO
Red light for me - anti ageing / collagen boost Blue light for dd15 for her acne

Hope it works! Was only £29. It looks fun anyway . Like darth vadar but pale pink !

NeedWineNow · 31/01/2021 22:50

I love that style of makeup bag. Good that you can see things rather than rummaging. I got one from Space NK for my birthday, and there was one in the Benefit gift set that I got in the sale.
