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.

@Ninkanink if you haven’t ordered from them before & decide to go for it I can send you a 10% off code

@Onedropbeat I got an XL and I'm a 16, I'd say medium 12 and large 14. They have sizing guides on their website I think. https://fletchandrob.com/collections/all
They're not too fitted or too baggy iyswim. I got so fed up of crappy supermarket versions and these are really good quality. I've lived in mine recently Grin

Tom Ford Soleil Blanc. I need to close my eyes and imagine being on a beach with white sand. This perfume is the only way to escape there right now.

youbigchump · 01/02/2021 15:46

I ordered a Lancôme mascara that's been promoted everywhere, I'm a sucker for marketing.
Also considering a Bobbi Brown serum foundation.
I'm living in Sweaty Betty and keep perusing the new colours in Powers.

I just ordered a jumper and 3 tshirts from Colourful Standard in mint green, peach, soft yellow and kelly green. With 10% off it was 120. Pricey but I need colour in my life! As cotton they will last and last, and organic. The colours are amazing and they update them every season.

Luckily I didn't see the joggers or beanie section of the website Grin

I ADORE fig fragrances and ordered Celestial Fig EDP from M&S as i'm too poor for Dyptique Grin I hope its as nice as the Body Shop one I used to wear

HiPieInTheSky · 01/02/2021 16:29

Decided to order some last minute bedding bargains from Dusk, 2 duvets, pillowcases, sheets and some cushions, all 400 threadhope they are worth it!

Also some shirts and trousers from the Jigsaw sale, some good bargains to be had, now looking at nail varnish and steam mops!

MrPanks · 01/02/2021 17:15

I'm currently trying to sort my rubbish hair out, so bought Nexus Keraphix shampoo and conditioner, john Frieda volume spray and Aussie hair oil for fine hair. The shampoo and conditioner is very impressive- hair is definitely shinier and softer after just 2 washes.

I also bought Superdrug simple face serum (day) and Halo Glow finishing powder from Elf - both second time purchases. Very pleased with both. I also bought a silk pillow case - and my hair does appear to be less mad in the morning so far! (could of course be the shampoo and conditioner doing its job though!).

I really would like a new hairbrush for blow drying- maybe a natural bristle as have read they are good in preventing hair breakage, but I've maxed my spending budget for this week.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 01/02/2021 17:21

My Boden order arrived and both items are keepers.

I'm now trying to decide which I need most: new foundation or new black skinnies.

I also made a Boden order. Feeling a bit meh and saw a lovely dress I’d had my eye on massively reduced. Oh dear, so much for no buying clothes.
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 01/02/2021 18:19

Pic please! :)

BangingOn · 01/02/2021 18:42

I’m now obsessed with lovely candles and essentials oils- I have an electric glass diffuser in my office and a lovely copper pipe/lab bottle/tea light affair in the living room, so have ordered some more oils and another candle from my favourite place. If I’m going to be at home all the time it can at least smell lovely.

I also ordered a new mattress topper as our is a few years old now and a pencil skirt from the Jigsaw sale.

MyFavouritePlace · 01/02/2021 18:54

What a great thread!
I've just ordered the Goddess make up bag, thanks @Wrinklyeyes.
As I was on a roll, got a top from Baukjen and a rose moisturiser from ByTerry.

I just bought a pair of boot cut jeans from River Island, they suit my figure so much bigger than skinny jeans

Pinkypie86 · 01/02/2021 19:37

Past week or so I've been shopping, quite a bit.
Frittered away money? Yes? Made me a little happier? Yes :)

Pinkypie86 · 01/02/2021 19:39

Shit!

Forgotten the Oliver Bonas order that I placed too - I have returned one of the dresses though!
Lovely pair of earrings and a Necklace.

Pinkypie86 · 01/02/2021 19:51

@Greenandblue123

Blusher? Dr PawPaw - They're brilliant. Use for lips and eyes too.
Have plenty of colours and last the whole day!

blametheparents · 01/02/2021 19:55

I have ordered some Millie’s cookies for my DS who is at university. They should get delivered tomorrow.

mrschocolatte · 01/02/2021 20:12

For some reason I had to have the COS high waisted barrel jeans. It’s a leap of faith as I have no idea how these are going to look on me. Excited but also a little nervous that I’m going to be so disappointed.

Pizzafortwo · 01/02/2021 20:25

I like the look of barrel jeans.

I ordered two watercolour floral cushions in bright pink on cream from Dunelm. I was feeling unmotivated and decided I need more colour in the front room. The reviews were positive.

louise4754 · 01/02/2021 20:28

I ordered a kit on Etsy bathbomb candle and face mask. Flower made from
Soap. Smells great.
