Hi there! It’s almost Christmas. And since I’m planning some serious shopping this Boxing Day, I wanted to show you what I’ve bought so far this month. I expect to do another haul post after Christmas though. 🙂 OK, this is what I bought this month.
I stocked up on Superdrug’s konjac sponges. They’re £1.99 each, but they’re on a 3 for 2 offer. So I bought 3 more. There are only two sponges in the picture, I know. Sponge number 3 is already in the bathroom, it’s ready to be used once I’ve thrown out my current sponge (which will happen in a few days).
I picked up Zoella’s Kissy Missy Lip Balm for £1. And I also bought B.’s Hyaluronic Acid Facial Spritz. It was £3.95 (half price offer) and I’ve wanted to try it for some time. So I bought it.
I bought two Body Fantasies fragrances – Twilight Mist and Pink Grapefruit Fantasy. I already have Grapefruit Fantasy, but these two were on a 2 for £3 offer, and they’re usually £3.99 each. And since I could have two body mists for less than the price of one, I just bought another Pink Grapefruit Fantasy body mist. By the way, I hate the Twilight Mist fragrance. I think it’s the stuff of nightmares. It smells like a cheaper version of Britney Spears’ Fantasy. My teenage relative will love it, no doubt!
I bought another Superdrug Naturally Radiant Brightening Eye Cream. This eye cream isn’t brightening at all, but otherwise it’s a fairly nice eye cream. And it was £2.95 only. And finally I got my hands on Superdrug’s Naturally Radiant Hot Cloth Cleanser. This was £2.95 as well.
I also swung by my local Boots store. I bought Boots’ Botanics Triple Age Renewal Day Cream, Night Cream and Super Serum, and Boots’ Botanics Radiant Youth Microdermabrasion Polish. These products were £4 each.
And I bought six products from Boots’ Botanics All Bright range – Radiance Concentrate Serum, Day Cream, Night Cream, Toner, Cleansing Cream and Face Wash. These products were £2.50 each.
I’ve also stocked up on the Hyaluronic Acid face mists. Initially I bought one, but I liked it so much and I knew it would be stupid not to stock up. So I bought 4 more. The price was the same as before – £3.95 per bottle.
Superdrug’s face masks were on a buy 1 get 2nd half price offer. The face masks are 99p each, and because of the offer I paid £2.98 in total for the 4 face masks.
I also noticed that Superdrug had revamped their Extracts hair care collection. The bottle design is new, and they also had a few new fragrances. I liked Grapefruit & Papaya and Aloe Vera & Mango. These were 89p each. Normally the Extracts products are £2.29 each, but there was a better than half price offer.
So this is what I bought this month. I spent just over £71 which isn’t much at all considering I got myself 5 hyaluronic acid face mists! I’m really happy with what I bought (even though I needed none of these products) – but I know I’ll go out hunting for bargains again soon.
Feel free to get in touch via the comments. And thanks for stopping by! I appreciate it! And Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I don’t think there’s anything left for Santa to put in your stocking!

There are tiny little lipstick sized boxes and Tom Ford Quad sized boxes under the tree now. I would have think since I listed out the ones I wanted for my collection (and prioritized them 1, 1.5, 2, 3, etc) – I’m pretty sure he got it right on!

At the moment it’s just more stuff – but I’m in the process of finishing quite a few skin care products, so I’ll be using some of the new products very soon. 🙂

Good to stock up those konjac sponges – I always have 2 unused ones in my stash.
I feel like anything named “Twilight” is not a fragrance I’d enjoy.
Skincare for DAYS! You have me beat with skincare hoarding… I don’t stock up as much as you do.
I’m so excited for your Boxing Day haul as well! We typically avoid going right on Boxing Day but I will venture out during Boxing week. I know you and your hubs have a whole plan – it’s the best thing I’ve heard for Boxing Day shopping!
Merry Christmas!

I wasn’t sure about the Twilight fragrance either, but I knew I’d give it away if I didn’t like it. What’s the story behind your Twilight aversion?
I’m excited about the Boxing Day Bargain Hunt too. It’s going to be awesome, especially because by the time the regular shoppers are still having their breakfast at home, we’ll be on our way back. 🙂
Merry Christmas, Stashy!

I meant what I said. The stuff of nightmares.
I think I’m lucky to have a teenage relative who loves sweet fragrances. She really takes everything off my hands. I give her boxes full of products all the time. And her mum (single mum, works full-time, money is a little tight) is happy that she doesn’t have to buy all sorts of stuff for her daughter all the time. It’s a win-win!
