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

Erborian BB cream - spent so long looking for a great foundation and this is an excellent alternative

Rachel Jackson gemstone t-bar necklace, have worn it lots.

Oubas donegal jumper in a rust shade from their sample sale, it's become one of those items I reach for whenever I'm not sure what I want to wear.

Wunderbrow Fluffy Brow Wax has transformed my brow game and is my favourite of the other similar products I've tried.

And finally I love my glasses frames from Ace & Tate, they are just the perfect shape for my face and a slightly unusual shade of brown I love as an alternative to the usual options.

Suqqu foundation

The Ordinary Niacinimide and also their Azelaic acid which has sorted out my skin better than Tret. I was getting sick of tweaking my Dermatica subscription as I was always peeling!

Diptyque Eau Duelle perfume

4160 Tuesdays Amberama perfume

The Aldi Colour Wow knock offs - thank God I stocked up: works the same if not better than the original on my hair

A Naghedi tote bag

A one hundred stars dressing gown - so pretty.

Brand new timberland boots from Vinted.

Two jumper dresses from Uniqlo - they promised non itchy and they didn't fib!

Absolutely love the Dr Jart colour correcting cream too. Best beauty buy this year.

Bondi Boost hair tool. Gives the best blow dry outside a salon I've ever had.

NARS lip tint in "torrid" - perfect wash of brightening colour. I don't suit lipsticks all that much but this is perfect.

Aqualux lip balm (only thing that works on me, when I have awful, dry lips).

Lavender cashmere sweater from M&S (I’ve had more compliments about it than anything for years).
Gold fake Birkenstocks from Tesco (bought 2 pairs).
Boots No 7 Vitamin C serum.

Mango textured oversized blouse - sadly no longer in stock, but I have worn numerous times; Mango is always worth a look imho, I always seem to find something I love

Community Clothing lambswool jumper in Truffle - love it

Toast crepe dress

Arket Boucle wool coat in black - so comfy and smart

Paige jeans - so comfy, so flatting, SO expensive. I'll be looking in the Boxing day sales....

Beauty - Biore watery essence suncream, so good my kids keep nicking it.

La Roche Posay Hydraphase BB cream. I like it more than my usual Chanel.

Howdidthathappen1 · 10/12/2023 12:04

Oh this thread I can join as I've discovered the joy of Donna ida jeans - found through insta - horrifically expensive but at 6 foot tall all trouser options are limited and these were are literally perfect.
Oh and this month eborian cc cream - took the plunge on black Friday and that's going to be another shouldnt really be in my budget repurchase

CeriB82 · 10/12/2023 13:30

Boots No7 youthful oil
