What are your 2023 best S&B buys?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Mine are:
THAT Uniqlo bag in black corduroy
All Saints black leather jacket
That banana hair food deep conditioning stuff
Hotter Tourist sandals which served me really well over the summer
Vivienne Westwood orb scarf, which is a slight cheat because I bought it just before NYE

@FromMilanToMinsk1 oh just saw your link! thank you

Finding out about Vinted, made about £500 selling my old season stuff. Bought all my Autumn stuff from there.

La Redoute - bought two blouses and a trouser suit jump suit thingy
Brazilian bumbum cream smells divine
Doc Martin sandals - if I can break them in

Loads more but I don't want to think about !

Discovered Passenger for jumbo cord dungarees and Turtledove for organic cotton jumpsuits.

Am obsessed., and currently scouring Vinted for more of the same but cheaper 😊

Altruist SPF 50 face fluid

Protected Species waterproof trench coat with a hood. I have work meetings on building sites etc so this is just brilliant. Doesn't crease either.

Hoff trainers

Orelia Luxe range because I was fed up of the gold coming off my gold plated jewellery, and this doesn't.

A Curvy Kate reversible swimsuit this summer.

Bravissimo Niya bra, the perfect shape for me.

Emma Hyacinth black loafers. Plus some insoles which make all my smart shoes comfier.

Nuxe body oil, the Hourglass tubing mascara, the miracle oil which came in the Liberty advent last year, MAC eye pencil because since i last tried an eye pencil they seem to have out how to make them stay put

Bah Floisme I know the one you mean and I wish I'd bought it!!

Mine are Curlsmith curl creme and foam, Pixi under-eye colour corrector, Rivedroite banana bag, some M&S retro style trainers that I have been wedded to, to replace my very tired Nike Internationalists. Ahh and Passenger hemp shorts with zip pockets, wore them all summer and LOVED them!

Shark FlexStyle
Kiehl’s crème de corps dry body oil (just incredible)

Hunter & Gatherer Collagen powder for me

Liberty Beauty Drop was another.

Gave Color Wow another go after reading so many good reviews on here, don’t think I was using it properly first time around.

Next of my list to try is the Elf Halo Glow 😀

This La Redoute jumper. I got it in white with navy stripes and a camel stripe which seems to be sold out now. Gives me Sezane vibes without the price tag (and with small children I need to be able to stick it in the machine. So much sezane seems to need handwashing).

I’ve just bought this, looks lovely, thanks for the link ☺️

A parka. Original price was £160. I got it for £49. (Blacks, if anyone's interested)

Geek n Gorgeous retinol.
Nothing else has been stand out.
One that's awful....Pantene Menopause shampoo n conditioner. Leaves my hair actually matted. Dreadful stuff.

Clinique quickliner for brows,
Boody padded bralettes,
Real Techniques foundation, bronzer & concealer brushes,
Crush Cashmere fringed long cardigan in tan.

@Back21970 Elf halo glow is fab.

Dermatica Tretinoin - game changing for my skin

Armarni luminous silk foundation

la roche posay anthelios 50 spray

Superdrug vitamin e hot cloth cleanser

Yet another recommendation - hope it doesn’t sell out!

What shade do you use?

I’m pale but warm skin toned and don’t suit anything too pink.

Ah, ok, my mistake. I've realised what you mean now. I mistakenly thought you meant the moisturiser but you mean the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter dupe. Imho, nothing compares to FF. The elf halo glow is ok but it's not a patch on FF.

I'll stay well away from the Pantene menopause shampoo. The bandanna hair food (Garnier) that I mentioned in my OP has definitely helped my menopausal hair a bit.

Merwave hair products are great - if you think you might have wavy hair, you will know about it with these, amazing😀

Stratia Lipid (previously liquid) gold

Erborian green CC cream - counters my redness so well.
Margeila By The Fireside perfume.
Living Proof dry shampoo.

A vintage Stella shaggy deer falabella
Line and current stud earrings with a little chain

That Uniqlo bag also in black nlyon, use it daily
Erborian cc cream in clair
Clinique black honey (have bought the burts bees dupe but actually think I'll go back to Clinique)
Penhaligons Halfeti, makes me happy each time I sniff it for autumn/winter
Diptyque Philosyskos fragrance for spring/summer
Korean brand oil cleanser, makes my skin squeaky clean and feels nourished after
Adidas Ozweego trainers, super comfy and have worn them the most out of all footwear I own
I've had quite a lot I think!

A wool coat with a hood

Erborian cc cream - omg amazing!!!
