The Mock Turtle

Exciting, Cos!

I’ve ordered it too! I used all my credit, plus their discount, so it only cost £35. Due to prioritising house spending (and general economics) we are having a budget Christmas this year, so it will be nice to have a Christmas treat.

Yes, I’ve done it too. With the discount and my credit it felt justifiable. I had a quick scan of the contents and they look good, I hope I will have forgotten them by December.

Same a Liv, it ended up being £35 so feels like a result. I also didn't even look at what was in it so it's a proper surprise treat.

I hope it's not all Ren glycolic tonic, elasticizer and Nars bronzer.

Me too. But I might be out of those by Dec. Well, not the bronzer, that never runs out!

Using BD credit is such a smart move. I used mine to buy that basilico perfume, which feels all wrong in this cooler weather and has had to be put away for when it is next warm.

I was going to use BD credit for the calendar but J has gone ahead and ordered one as a surprise - just like he does every year - so I will have to spend the credit on something else

That perfume is gorgeous though absley, you’ll be pleased with yourself when you dig it out next year.

Boxes arrive tomorrow. Hope it's better than the last one...

Mine has just arrived - I'm really happy. Seven items!

Oh fab. I'm away at the moment so nice to have a present when I get back

I’m happy too - all things I will use this time. I have tried two today…

I agree, this is a nice mix.

I also agree - a much better box than the last one or two.

What did you try and what did you think, Liv?

Yesterday I tried the perfume (nice and long lasting - very powerfully floral though which might not be to everyone’s taste! My favourite perfume is Aerin’s Lilac Path though ) and the pencil. Today I tried the primer - also liked it a lot.

As an aside, recently I’ve used the Davines OI All in one milk which came in the July box, and absolutely loved that - definitely going to buy a bottle of that when the gift one runs out!

What colour pencil did you get Liv? Mine is blue, which isn’t a colour I’ve tried since Rimmel Azure in the 80s.

I wore the perfume yesterday as well, it’s lovely.

Oh, I didn't realise that the pencils may have been different colours - mine is green. Will you use the blue, Tabitha? I think there's a recent Caroline Barnes video on wearing blue eyeshadow in your 40s if you need inspiration.

I've put all of my items away for when we move house, so I can have them as a treat then. It's lovely to hear that people are enjoying them though. I also love the Davines oi and have bought it before.

I'll give the blue a try, but I don't have hopes. Thank you for the video rec, I will take a look.
