I love ginger lily. It's such a nice smell.

Ginger lily is great. I’d like another neom candle but can’t justify it at the moment.

I just bought the new Chanel bronzing cream that everyone is raving about. It’s 10% off at John Lewis & I used PayPal funds so it was practically free. :perky:

Squeak just totally scammed me into a Glossier order. She’s getting mango & birthday balms plus a clear gloss, I’m getting the same balms plus Generation G in Zip.

I forgot I ordered some Herbivore Orchid oil which I’ve head good things about. I just got the small size to try it out.

I like how Herbivore seem to do a few dual sizes. The Jasmine facial spray is lovely.

I've ordered an eye cream. I haven't used one for a couple of years, just my normal moisturiser, but now I'm using different stuff which might be a bit strong for my eye area.

The Chanel bronzer is every bit as lovely as promised.

It’s really light and not at all shimmery, like a properly sunny faced glow. Not orangey either. And smells so good, same as the Healthy Glow foundation & the Les Blancs primer.

My Herbivore oil is here. I love the texture but the smell is odd to me. Like plimsole rubber and shoeboxes. :lol:

Glamorous question. Does anyone recommend any of the little spot patch things you can buy? I have the patchology ones which are quite good but there are so many others and I’d like to try a new pack of something else next time.

I’ve never used them, sorry. I use the ultra glamorous Stridex pads for my spots.

I bought this serum this weekend. Then read the reviews so I’m slightly underwhelmed now and disappointed I spent $50 on it but shall give it a go.

I got a Zit Sticka free with something, and it just seemed to anger my spot more, so I wouldn’t buy them.

Oh that’s useful to know, because I was looking at them, thank you. The Cos rx ones seem to get good reviews so I think I’ll try them.

I have that serum Est. I’m not a huge fan. It’s ok but can be a bit sticky. Also, that seems to say it has vitamin C in, which I’m fairly sure it doesn’t. I’m planning to try the Vichy hyaluronic stuff next. I love the Verso one but can’t justify paying full price.

Not a spot sticker, but this stuff is really good on spots.

I bought that for Squeak and it’s brilliant, Suzi.

I used Dots For Spots. It seems to work.

But the best thing I have found to apply is Lush’s Mask of Magnaminty
