What have you bought recently that was worth every penny?

For me a Frandsen puffer coat that kept me warm in the very cold weather

This cream blush from Sainsbury’s for £3.

Never used a cream blush before and my word who knew £3 could transform me from tired corpse husk to radiant fecund maiden with just a couple of mini blobs on the face and a quick fanny about with a brush.

Quite possibly the best review ever. Get me to Sainsbury!

Indeed! If I wore blush, I would buy it immediately:)

Please link the blush again @Stoechas your link isn't working and it sounds like something I might need!

It's Boutique Velvet Blusher in the colour "Deep Love" if you can find it in store. It's one of the Sainsbury own brand make up range.

Thanks!! Smile

@IHaveCompletedShopping your cashmere cardigan looks amazing. Johnstones cashmere is just beautiful quality.

I’m in love with those trainers @girlmeetsboy

Would you come back when they arrive and update on how sizing comes up? I live abroad so delivery and returns make trying on stuff really expensive if I get it wrong!

@Cocoandcleo - my son wanted a pair of DM's so he bought them and worked out if you can, wear two pairs of socks while breaking them in. It'll take a few weeks of wear but you shouldn't end up with blisters.

Why do we buy DM's knowing that they will cripple our feet whenever we wear them? We wouldn't buy anything else that causes us so much pain when we wear them, right?

I bought a pair of Pascal DMs last month. They are made of softer leather and have not needed breaking in. I am soooo pleased with them and wish I had taken the plunge ages ago.

@Stoechas that's twice in one day you've made me laugh out loud with your descriptions of beauty products! (Also on the eyeshadow palette discussion)
If you don't already write for a living, you very definitely should!
(And I'm going to Sainsbo's tomorrow for that blusher!)

Two purchases that only happened due to SB fomo. A Roka sample sale rucksack which is the perfect size for work. And a chunky knit Paul Jones jumper, just the right length and so warm. Also a total bargain at less than half price.

Bugeyedowl · 03/02/2023 20:21

I bought these for my daily lunchtime walks in the park. Not 'uber-trendy, but they look so cute and go with absolutely everything!

Justforthissnippet · 04/02/2023 01:52

@girlmeetsboy thanks! I probably would be after the low ones as it’s too hot here for high tops. Or maybe I should get both?!

OrderOfTheKookaburra · 04/02/2023 03:02

This top by Liz Jordan (in Australia). I'm a size 18 and it sits so nicely on me.

an Essence lip gloss from Wilko that was cheap as cheap but looks so good with my colouring. The colour is subtle and leaves a lovely pink tint that lasts all day . I didn't have any illusions about but after using it Ive ordered ten from the website Blush

this one

You must be the reason I clicked on that link and it said product out of stock 😂

A pair of these wide leg trousers from M&S. I really love them www.marksandspencer.com/jersey-wide-leg-trousers-with-stretch/p/clp60506499?color=DARKNAVY&prevPage=srp#intid=plpnav_pid_pg1pip48g2r1c1

Also, a ring holder necklace for work. I really like it as a necklace in its own right, as well as knowing that my wedding ring is safe and hasn’t had to be left lying on a shelf or loose in a pocket. I chose one with mountains as despite living in one of the UKs flatter counties, I do love the mountains. I have decided that when I pass my next qualification, I will get a pair of stud earrings to match.

I bought this. It's gorgeous on. Doesn't have much staying power but it so moisturising.

Yes this! Bought it for dd tried it and got myself one. It’s perfect

I absolutely love the brand and also buy alot from Daniel, but the low ones I have are a 40 and the ones I ordered are a 39, I tried on the 40's and drove myself mad convincing myself they were too big! Will wait until the high tops appear and report back, I am a large 6/6 and and a half x
