I got another Lisa Eldridge lipstick (Wonder Wheel, fabulous for everyday although more for the summer) and one of her Liquid Lurex eyeshadows.

It is fabulous - *so* much better than the Charlotte Tilbury one I got. You can build it up or use it pretty sheerly. Lisa's customer service is as always second to none. I really hope she does another pop up in December as I missed it again this year.

I’ve got this wee order on its way. Some are repurchases (the sunscreen and oil free moisturiser) and some are new to my face.

That looks like a nice little haul.

I did an Escentual order with their French Pharmacy month (always Jan,Apr,Oct).

Squeak’s gone Glossier crazy and stocked up on all available Balmdotcom flavours before the applicator changes & the prices go up.

The Uriage oil in balm stuff is amazing, my skin feels so soft now.

I saw a deal on Elemis cleansers advertised on Facebook this morning, 2 deluxe sample sizes for £12 delivered, so I’m going to try the rose Pro-collagen cleanser and the superfood facial wash.

My Tatcha stuff is gorgeous. The dewy skin cream is a bit too heavy so I’ll regift it to my friend with much drier skin than me. The cleansers are lush. And my Milk lip and cheek tint is just the right colour. The size of it is tiny though :lol:

This thread makes me really want all of the beauty stuff. I’m giving the sali hughes revolution vitamin c serum and gel moisturiser a go. It’s really really good actually.

I’ve used up all my points from the perfume blind trial boxes now. This then all cost me £34.

Ah, I did a 100% more mundane shop at Escentual yesterday to use up my points too (medical-looking moisturising body washes :lol: )

I’m really loving the Uriage stuff I got from them though to be fair, PG.

Squeak & I both got the La Neige lip sleeping masks today in a little set of mango & gummy bear (quite grape like) flavours.

We also both bought a Morphe lip & cheek stick thing, I got Hibiscus and she got a rosy pink one.

She did a bit of a Charlotte Tilbury haul & got a nice little sample set when we chatted with the assistant at the counter too. She’s been lusting after the setting spray & contour wand for ages.

Are the contour wands the things with the spongey head? They look really nice but I can’t bear CT so am loathed to buy any of it :))

Yes, she’s really taken with it. I’m not a fan of the women herself or the looks she puts together on the models personally. I like the products though.

Reporting in on the LRP Lipikar hand cream: it’s really nice. Gently & pleasantly scented, absorbs well.

After a few terrible stabs at a new foundation, I’ve finally found the right colour and texture in Ester Lauder futurist foundation. I got a lush free gift with it too.

What was the gift, Luna?

I’ve just bought the Revolution rip off of the Jones Road Magic Balm. I got rose pink & sunkissed nude. Looking forward to doing a comparison with my JR one.

Squeak got the NARS concealer she’s been obsessing over. I have talked myself out of buying a NARS lipstick but it might only be temporary sanity.

What's the Jr magic balm like? I've been toying with one, the rosy brown one.

I’ve got Magic Hour, and it’s nice with a goldy shimmer, but I wish I’d got a stronger colour. You have to scrape away the top layer to release the colour, which is a bit annoying.

I got all confused with my Ms, it’s Miracle Balm, Magic Hour.
