That sounds lovely Ella!

I've just started my new Dr Sebagh serum (advent calendar) and it smells so beautifully of rose.

[absley]

Do you buy through the app, Ella? I really struggle to get it to load my points or any vouchers I have.

[Ella]

I tried, but same problem, absley. will be sending them a complaint later

[Ella]

it is irritating that I ordered one item, yet every email I've had from them refers to my 'beauty haul'very influencer-y

[Estrella]

Can you report back on the cleansing balm please, Ella? I love anything cherry and this sounds lovely.

The products I bought on the last page I’ve been using for a little bit now and I love them all. They will be on the re-purchase list.

[Ella]

it smells really lovely, but I haven't been able to use it yet. I think BBB has written a review

[Disco]

I hope you like it Dics!

I do, thank you!

I put some on today for the first time. I love it. So light! Not greasy. No film. No white cast.

What is your routine with it then please? Do you do use it in place of any kind of skincare or do you still use your normal moisturiser (plus serum if you use)?

[Estrella]

I use it as the last stage in my routine, so do the whole toner, essence/serum, moisturiser business then put sunscreen on last (hence loving something that isn’t too thick). Glad you like it!

[Disco]

Perfect, thank you as that's what I would want to do.

I want to buy a second tube already.

I got some Merit make up following that Sali Hughes article.. The mascara is going back but the blush in a little pot is just perfect. I absolutely adore it and want to get it in all the colours!

[Disco]

Found these in tk maxx today. Current season too.

[emma_p]

I love a good browse in TK Maxx! I recently got the Eve Lom cleansing balm in there. A few years back they had Good Genes mega cheap and I only bought one bottle

[Ruby]

TK Maxx often have Rodial too and Omorovicza.

[Disco]

My one had all of those brands yesterday.

I just did a Boots order to stock up on scrunching jelly and a bell rang in my brain about something I’d seen on Instagram so I’ve also bought Squeak and I a 17 blusher each in Coffee Love, which is meant to be a dupe for Rhode Toasted Teddy. It looks nice.

[dizzyd]

Not sure if you're aware but Only Curls is now stocked at certain Boots and it's the same price as direct from them with no postage !

[Pippedydeadeye]

I did see! I’m not sure about trying them though.

I also stocked up on Pattern lightweight conditioner via ASOS this week. I love the fragrance & it’s so good on my hair. I bought it in TK Maxx originally.

[dizzyd]

Ah I thought you'd tried them before
They do a sample pack on the website
It's all I use nowadays and the aveena apple cider one every so often as a clarifying shampoo

[Pippedydeadeye]

I tried the Aveeno but didn’t find it particularly clarifying. It has silicone in, too. Which my hair doesn’t mind.

[Pippedydeadeye]

Today I have purchased the new Shrine pre-mixed hair colorant in Champagne (which is my toner of choice), and an M&S Pure cleansing balm. It smells like Elemis and is 1/4 of the price. I'll report back if it's as good.

Did you know that the EH Moringa cleansing balm is £52 now?! It still smells incredible, but man alive, that is a lot of money.
