What would you spend £300 on?

I’ve spent the last 18 months or so trying to make a positive difference to my appearance. I’d saved up some money over lockdown and have spent it mostly on having my teeth straightened and the removal of some moles on my face. I’ve sorted my skincare routine and have some great make up that works for me.

I’ve got about £300 left and can’t decide what to spend it on. I’m considering Botox, but have also thought about keeping the money to have my nails done every month for a year, or getting some new ear piercings.

What would you do with £300 to spend solely on Style & Beauty?

Has anyone got any ideas?

A leather jacket.

Great idea, thank you. Hadn’t thought of a proper investment item of clothing. It would be a definite improvement on my Primark denim jacket!

A decent winter coat or a pair of boots and a couple of piercings.

Definitely botox (if you only need one area). But I love the idea of nails too! Ohhh, or a few massages!

@readingismycardio My first thought was botox. I’m 45 and not fairing too badly! Just a couple of deeper lines on my forehead. But then I look at my hands any my nails just always look a bit scruffy which got me thinking that would be enough money to do my nails for a year. And now I keep having other ideas and can’t decide!

I'd choose the nails, then, and after budget for botox!
