When I say my spending ban is killing me, I mean it's calling out for a brutal beauty murder. I've lost count of the amazing beauty sales on at the moment - there's Selfridges, NEOM and Molton Brown, and that's before I even mention the temptress that is drugstore 3-for-2 offers.
But as all shopaholics say, a little window shopping never hurt anybody. I've had a look at what's on offer at Very and John Lewis and picked two of the best from each site. If I'm not spending, somebody has to!
VERY
First of all we have the United Colors of Benetton Unisex EDT (75ml), which is £14.50 down from £29. Although unisex fragrances are not usually my thing (I'm into fruity and sweet scents), I absolutely love the colour and simplicity of the packaging and wouldn't mind trying something new for less than a score. Plus you can't really go wrong with top notes of neroli and bergamot.
My second pick from the Very beauty sale is the Remington C19522 Pearl Pro Tong, which is £19 down from £29. I always turn my nose up at the 'classic' silvery metal curling tongs, but I've always found them quite rubbish and not as user-friendly as the new simple black ones that are swarming the marketplace. This looks really easy to use and I'm willing to pay under £20 for easy curls.
JOHN LEWIS
The first product I'm in lust with from the John Lewis beauty sale is the Rituals Dragon Mud Body Scrub, which only costs £5.75 down from £11.50 for 200ml. Such a bargain! All you have to do is put the words 'scrub' and 'mud' together and I know I'm in for a spa treat. I also love the oriental vibe of the product.
The scrub is made with volcanic clay and ultra-fine bamboo.
The second product from the John Lewis beauty sale is the Rituals Lip Shine in Winter Coral, which is now £6 down from £12. Let's face it, everyone loves coral lips and this one is super wearable. This one is likely to sell out pronto, so get your purses out and shop!
Have you bought anything good in the summer sales? xxx
