Pick 5 things

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

What five things have you bought recently or been using/wearing lots that you really love?

Trilogy rose hip oil - been using it for about 4 months every night. It’s really lovely.

Kenzo Flower perfume- a proper blast from the past for me! I bought a Chloe one at the same time, but it doesn’t last at all, whereas I’m aware of the Kenzo for ages.

Cos heavy boxy T-shirts - it’s a bit too warm for them now, but I was wearing them on repeat for ages

Urban Decay green eyeliner and eyeshadow- I get loads of comments whenever I wear it

Marks and Spencer black ribbed tube dress - just a really useful basic

Fab thank you!

ANOTHER five stone down contributor and rediscovering clothes!

Vinted

Saint & Sofia scarf

Boden stripy suit

m&s checked trench

Modern rarity £120 dress, tags on at the boot sale for £5

&

m&s brown leather jacket - I always said I'd buy an AllSaints leather jacket when I lost weight, but fell in love!

MD London curling wand. I liked it when my hair was long but now I’ve cut it into a bob it’s absolutely brilliant. It gives me the perfect loose waves.

Uniqlo mini T-shirts - crew neck & polo. Excellent quality, wash well & are slightly cropped so there’s no half tuck drama. I have 6 in different styles & colours.

YSL waterproof eyeliner in a lovely purple colour. I use it to tightline my green eyes. I also use it to do a soft flick.

Skyhigh mascara. I received this as a gift & it really lifts my very straight lashes.

Black knotted headband. I’ve been looking for one for a while & found the perfect one in a little boutique.

Were they cap sleeve T shirts? If so, I’ve just bought a selection of these as I need to wear a higher neckline than usual (normally wear a V neck) for the next few months and these seemed the happy compromise between coverage and not choking me! I’m expecting to get a lot of wear out of them.

What a glorious thread, I’ve really enjoyed reading everyone’s responses and checking out the links. Thank you @RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie

I’m another Mounjaro loser, 8 stone down now so having to replace my entire wardrobe. I’ve always tried to shop for quality over quantity, but that’s harder to do when you need quantity as nothing fits, so Vinted has been my friend.

My five recent things bringing me the most joy are:

• The Kooples leather jacket. Vinted purchase, slightly distressed, super soft and perfect for spring mornings.
• Allsaints Noir denim maxi skirt with crossover waist in sand washed grey. I’ve owned this in 3 sizes now and was very happy to find an 8 on Vinted.
• M&S black poplin skirt. Just full enough, lightweight and very easy to dress up or down https://www.marksandspencer.com/pure-cotton-poplin-a-line-skirt/p/clp60726593?color=BLACK#intid=pid_pg1pip2g4r1c1
• Adidas Originals Japan in emerald green www.net-a-porter.com/en-gb/shop/product/adidas-originals/shoes/low-top/japan-suede-trimmed-leather-sneakers/1647597352764651
• Aromatherapy Associates Destress Muscle Gel. This was used on me after a massage at a spa day recently and I loved it so much I ordered a tube when I got home

Loving the rock and roll scarf!

Ladies who’ve lost lots of weight- your joy in falling in love with clothes again is radiating through the thread.

Such a lovely positive thread.

I started tracking my outfits a year ago and I’m starting to get a really good idea of what I buy but never wear; what I wear all the time and what gaps I have in my wardrobe. It’s really changed my approach to clothes shopping.

Colour wow xl mousse
Ctrne trainers (I have 10 pairs and simply don’t wear anything else)
Tropics tamanu balm
blue John crystal necklace
pluffi slippers

My cropped wide but not too wide H&M trousers, got 5 pairs! So much cooler than linen.
Next straight relaxed jeans - they're mid rise which I've realised is the perfect fit for me.
Cantu curl conditioner
Black M&S fake birkenstocks
DKNY Nectar love perfume - just gorgeous 😍

Oh ,great thread!
m&s wide legged ankle grazer jeans
Lisa Eldridge eye liner in burnt umber
Birkenstop Bostons
Tan luxe facial tanning drops
!isa Eldridge lipstick in Lisa

Toast Kaia Cardigan in Oatmeal.. worn it almost everyday since I bought it in March.
Birkenstock Bostons, got them the end of March and absolutely love them - they go with everything.
Aldi Lacura Rose facial oil - a dupe for the Pixi one; it’s gorgeous and gives my face a lovely glow.
Some silver star earrings that my Mum bought me for my birthday.
A dress from Muthahood - I’m not a dress person usually but this one is gorgeous

Love this thread @RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie 😍
Brand new cashmere jumper from vinted
Tu barrel jeans
Hush Emily puff sleeve top in various colours
Esska Charlie sandals
New Balance trainers

Ooh - I tried the Emily puff sleeved top on and really liked it, but was worried about the quality. Have you found they keep their shape?

No issues with keeping their shape so far @RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie but they do come up a bit big.

Thank you.

Airwrap - could never get the same result with a hairdryer

This toner I’ve started using between hairdresser appointments to keep my highlights an ashy blonde, it’s absolutely brilliant https://www.boots.com/jerome-russell-bblonde-maximum-colour-toner-silver-75ml-10198291?traffic=paid.shopping&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19971248798&gbraid=0AAAAA-AdmwTfeulZVNdWkZ9U6Nd6-h5yF&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIiaX_8uOZjQMV1I5QBh0FsBh_EAQYASABEgKnofD_BwE

These hush pia mules, so comfy and go with most things https://www.hush-uk.com/pia-padded-suede-mules-black/011778-0456.html

this skirt, again, comfy, and it sits really nice on me

I love those Emily tops, such lovely colours - I’m torn between the red, navy and khaki.

I'm loving the photos. The blue dress was a steal, what a find. It's lovely.

I got the red, khaki and ivory but am also tempted by the navy! The red is a lovely shade of real red, not pinky or orangey.

The red is the one I tried on. Gorgeous colour. I tried a large, but think a medium might be better.

The Ordinary NF Moisturiser with Phytoceramides - just bought my second one of these. My skin is feeling so good with my first use of a few products from this brand

Lush Snow Fairy body spray - I’ve been using this since I got it as a Christmas gift. It’s sweet but light and has been my go-to spritz for 5 months (I love skin / hair care and scents so have quite a few)

My latest New Balance trainers, after my Achilles tendinitis reappeared. I can run and walk in these daily and they’ve helped cure the AT again, but I now need something just as good in a summer sandal…

insight hair products - great for my curly hair and discovered through my hairdresser. They’re CG friendly, vegan, smell amazing and my hair seems to love them

Dove Velvet Glow body wash - I adore and always feel nostalgic for Dove as have used it on and off for over 30 years. I’ve almost finished my Loccitaine Almond Shower Oil so couldn’t resist this beautiful smelling cheapy but goody!

I have the medium and it’s a generous size on me as a busty 14.

Thank you.

Another Mounjaro Babe here, down 3 stones and a slender size 8/10. My figure is better now than when I was 30 (am 54) + I'm deeply tanned having just come back from holiday. So, yeah, feeling good.

A gorgeous set of gold, waterproof, tarnish free jewellery from Atolea that I won't remove for the rest of the Summer.

Freya Icon Balcony bra. Finally found my Holy Grail, every day bra. Fits like a dream, slightly moulded so doesn't show under tops. Went a bit berserk in Bravissimo and bought 2 nude, 2 black and 2 pink.

Chanel Creme Bronzer. Halfway through my first pot and Oh my God, nothing else even comes close. I never put my face in the sun and use this to give my skin some colour and blend with my tanned decolletage.

My new hair stylist. I was on his waiting list for over a year and he's in a city 20 miles, but he is utterly worth it! He specializes in short hair and he's given me the perfect, textured, boyish crop that flatters my face so much.

Nailtique Formula 2. I always have Shellac in the Autumn & Winter, but like to keep my nails natural in the Summer. This magical product lets my nails grow long and strong and gives them a healthy, buffed sheen.

@Arraminta
I’d promised myself I wasn’t going to buy any more beauty products this month but your Chanel Bronzer recommendation is making me twitch! I have a NARS one which is….ok.

1. The Essence Vault dupes of Jo Malone Lime, Basil and Mandarin (?) and Tom Ford Portofino. Oh my, these fragrances are so fresh and summery . My first time buying dupes but I’m not extremely impressed so far. Had a fair few compliments too.
2. Origins Tinted Moisturiser. Love this for a No Make Up day look. It give a very light coverage but makes my skin look healthy. Perfect for the dog walk.
3. KIKO Milano Pink Sparkling Hibiscus lipgloss. Quite a bright pink…a bit 80s I guess but it’s fresh and bright. My lip colour for this summer.
4. Benefit Roller Lash mascara. Gives a very fluttery, long lash look but not overly thick. Great for daytime.
5. Not beauty but I’ve just bought a great Lulu Guinness bag from John Lewis which was only £12 and is great for my fitness class.
