Magic Beans

Making the most of the Nuxe offers, I’ve just ordered a supersized rose petal micellar water for £10 and a supersized body lotion for £6. I’m coming to the end of my stashes of both items so it’s time to buy again.

Where are the offers on, Pip?

On Nuxe’s own site, here: https://uk.nuxe.com/nuxe-offers

Although Escentual also have their French pharmacy offers on as well, so 1/3rd off with them.

I haven’t even read the ingredients list. I’ve just been sucked in by the marketing spiel.

[Turtle Bean]

I also didn't but have forgotten why too.

I needed a new facial oil - I have been using Clarins Santal oil for a few years but I don't think it's all that. I got a Sanctuary one and also a cleansing pil from them as they were buy one, get one half price in Boots.

I also got a couple of Essie polishes, a really nice pale grey and a dark rose one.

I went for a walk at lunch time because everybody was pissing me off, and I ended up stress-purchasing the Body Shop’s banana conditioner, purely out of nostalgia. What is happening to me ?

Ah, 90s! Simpler times

[Ella]

I keep sniffing it, it’s so comforting! (Why, why?) I will actually use it this evening. Nothing shrieks sophistication like banana-y hair .

[Luna]

I used to love that too!

I bought some face theory as it was dirt cheap. The cleanser is nice. The moisturiser is OK. Smells a bit like chip fat when you put it on but for £8 whaddya want? :)). It's got vit c, retinol and HA in it which I'm a bit dubious about.

[Figaro]

I’m tempted by the Becca skin love glow elixir. Has anyone tried it? It gets really good reviews.

[Ella]

I haven’t, I’m afraid.

The conditioner is ok, you know!

In my quest to be plastic free I bought a naked (no packaging - they're bars) facial cleanser and moisturizer from Lush. I'm nervous about the moisturizer on my skin (I normally use Cetaphil) but it feels so soft today (I put it on last night) and will report back after a week or so. It has banana in it if that feeds the 90s addiction. The cleanser is really lovely and you remove it with a cloth. Ideal for travel!

My recent purchases have been the mini travel Drunk Elephant facial bars and a Christophe Robin solid shampoo bar. I have high hopes for the shampoo.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I bought the No. 7 Hydraluminous foundation and it's really good.

[Ella]

Does the shampoo smell nice? I have a CR shampoo sample that I got in my advent calendar, and it might just be the best smell in the world.

[Duophonic]

Yes it's very fresh smelling.

[absley]

I've just started using TBS camomile cleansing butter and it is sooo nice. I bought it ages ago, hated it and was considering whether to dump it or try again, and am so pleased I did. It has a lovely delicate smell, is really softening and nourishing plus doesn't leave any residue.

[Luna]

I like that one as well. Just as good as the more expensive ones.

[Figaro]

I have some of the oil version of that and I really like it too.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I guess we’ve all seen Sali H’s 30 budget beauty buys now? https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/201 ... -15-pounds

What have you bought? I already had the new No 7 foundation and it is excellent. Almost better than Clinique Even Better Glow.

I’ve just ordered the As I Am co-wash to try because my latest favourite shampoo has been reformulated and my hair is incredibly dry at the moment.

I do fancy trying that Charles Worthington shampoo but I’m looking forward to the skincare recommendations next week. Slightly disappointed that the one mascara she did list is one of the few I’ve tried and found to be shite
