I’ve just been to the Hourglass counter in Space NK. I should have bought more in the states but I ran out of time and the lady in the shop was lovely and generous with samples. Plus I got an NDulge (what a hideous name!) card with a £5 voucher already.

I love my nDulge points card, I regularly get £10 vouchers. I might spend too much there :))

Yeah, I was like that in Sephora. I had VIB status until the end of 2019 :lol:

I got the ambient lighting palette and new retouching fluid concealer which is so nice. A couple of new brushes too because I chucked my old ones before I moved. They were ancient. All the hourglass stuff feels so lovely on your skin.

It takes me ages to get the vouchers! But I am one for going in there and then scouting online to find it cheaper :))

I really like it. Go in on a quiet weekday and ask them to show you how to apply it all.

I'm waiting for the ambient light trio thing to arrive from spacenk also. I was going to get just dim light travel size but then...something happened and I ordered the trio.

I have an older ambient lighting palette with 6 shades in it and I love it so much, I use it nearly every day

I was feeling a bit fed up so had a mini splurge in M&S and got a Pure rose cleansing balm and Florentyna White Flowers which I really like. I nearly bought a pinky nude By Rosie lipstick but I remembered I don't like that colour.

The Rosie lipsticks are ever so good when you do get the right colour for you.

MrMcLip sent me a £10 SpaceNK voucher today, which was great, but I dithered too long and missed out on the Renaissance mask free gift. :lg: I got some more Renaissance Gel though.

I like both the balm and the perfume. The balm smells so nice.

A lady made me feel better by saying "it isn't quite £100 a month".

I now only get £5 vouchers!

This made me chuckle. The same thing happened to me! :clone:

At the bargain basement end of things, I've been using the Lidl night and day creams (Orchidée one that I can't find a photo of, and the Cien Cellular Beauty day one)

I was just using regular face creams of various sorts such as EA 8 hour, Nivea and some French brands, but these anti-ageing ones, I think, have given me much plumper skin.

I treated myself to some of The Ordinary/NIOD before it all goes down the tubes.

The photography fluid is my new favourite thing. I thought that as I'm sallow that it'd bring my skin tone right down but it is amazing, even Mr D commented on my skin after.

I also bought their Vit C and their hydrating natural moisturiser.

I've also went back to my waterproof Maybelline mascara and a new cheap translucent powder.
