What would you spend £125 in boots vouchers on...

[fiveminutestochill]

If you were me? I have £125 in Boots vouchers, and trying to decide what to get. I want to use it to buy nice products to help me practice some more self care and just inject a bit of luxury into my day to day. I like baths but realistically don't get the time with two young children so nice shower products would be ideal. Maybe some handcream and lip balm too. Or anything you use to help you destress/relax? Help with commute (trains) or wfh.

I love posh bar soap so would buy a couple of bars.

Id buy maybe three of a nice day and night cream each as I like having decent moisturiser on the go.

Maybe some hair treatments- mine is coloured, so a hair mask perhaps.

Chanel no 19 for me.😊

Either a bottle of Chanel Coco or it could go towards decent glasses frames.

I have Boots vouchers I am considering some "fancy" shampoo on face cleanser and moisturiser.

Unfortunately now I would get a lot for that compared to years ago, this would cover my standard make up purchase I make twice a year:

mac studio fix fiundation
mac pro longwear concealer
laura mercier setting powder
usually need something for eyebrows

I would get in there quickly if you can because their sale of beauty brands gift sets was great yesterday. Lots of really nice beauty products at 50% off so your £125 would stretch a long way.
My friend snapped up some great Inkey List sets.

Personally I would probably spend half (or more) on a perfume and then some nice shower products and handcream etc.

£125 is a good amount! I wouldn't bother with expensive face creams as prescription tret is the only thing that makes a real difference. And shampoos etc again you don't need to spend a fortune so what's the point and you go through them so quickly. How often do you have a lump sum to buy something expensive (never, sadly in my case).

I'd get some Narciso Rodriguez perfume. Maybe Armani Luminous Silk foundation and concealer.

Perfume, Aveda shampoo, Nars make up. That’s where I’d look.

I’d get a perfume and some lovely bath products. Having small children shouldn’t mean you never get a lovely bath.

The whole years worth of staples that I would buy anyway.

I'd get a Dior eyeshadow quint and some lovely bath oil and a body lotion. I wouldn't bother with expensive skin care as I don't think it's worth it unless you repeat purchase.

The YSL plumping lip oil glosses are amazing but so spenny so would be a really good treat.

I would buy:

Curel Deep Moisture Spray (might have to order online, they don’t usually have it in store)
Pixi Glow tonic
The Inkey List Oat Balm Cleanser and also Bioactive Ceramide Moisturiser. They have 50% off kits that include both of these plus a third product.
Nuxe reve de miel lip balm

Those are the products that I buy on repeat!

Do you need to use it all at once?

-I've never tried this but as a child, it seemed very luxurious because it was much more expensive than other body wash https://www.boots.com/badedas-indulgent-bath-gelee-300ml-10084398
-Any birthdays coming up you need to buy for?
-Get started early with next years Christmas presents?
-Foot peel? It gets quite gross after a week as skin starts to peel off, but your feet do feel soft afterwards https://www.boots.com/oh-k-strawberry-and-mint-jelly-foot-peel-20g-10362061

Clinique have some gift sets on very good deals in the sale. I really like their Moisture Surge moisturiser.

Clinique Moisture Surge Body Hydrator is brilliant! I thoroughly recommend it - I use it on arms and legs most days and it has made a real difference.

They had a set for about £40 with a face moisturiser and body moisturiser. I wish I'd gone for that one now!

I would be mindful of what you choose in terms of if you fall in love with a product that is £££ that you are able to repurchase. I think come Jan there will probably be plenty of promotions related to skin care and skin care routines so I would look out for those.

Personally, a new decent hairdryer fo when mine gives up the ghost.

Paradoxe perfume

Shalimar by Guerlian

I would choose some perfume and/or Liz Earle stuff if it was me. I especially love the LE Cleanse and Polish.

I would just stock up on all the things I routinely buy there. If you want to use it to treat yourself you can then spend the money you would otherwise have spent on basics on whatever luxuries you fancy from wherever.

I'd get myself some perfume - I love Estee Lauder Modern Muse - and anything left would go on my usual Liz Earle skincare.
