What have you guys been buying at the moment or was your last purchases? Im nearly at the end of my skincare. I will need to get some more of that and some body washes. I brought some Bossy products last week when the shipping was free and Steph threw in a Mechanic Scrub for my partner.

my last purchases were Bossy and Ethique <3 <3

I don't strictly NEED anything (maybe BB cream) but chances are I'll allow myself to be drawn by xmas sales :p

Aww that was nice of Steph, Macs! Bossy are so great. 
I got some things there too, my husband bought my Christmas presents from there (the agony of having to wait to use them though!), and got my Black Friday things from The Body Needs (3 x M.A.C lipstick samples, one pigment sample), my first beauty purchases in ages. Waiting on some craft things to arrive too now so I can make myself some pretty, shiny things. :)

Latest purchases where from Bossy.  Christmas gifts mostly but couldnt help getting a wee something for myself. I got the easy hair bun maker and Bounce hair mask for myself. Has anyone tried those? They had great reviews on the bossy site. 

I also got more M M foundation and a masacara. I've never tried this masacara before. Im really liking it for day wear. Separates nicely, extends and isnt clumpy.

I bought a whole lot of stuff on Saturday (see photo wall) plus I'm getting things in the mail I forgot I ordered. This morning it was a bunch of shot pot melts from Aroma Addiction, and then my magazine subscription came (yuuusssss). I will probably be making two more secret orders before the day is out :D

I know what else I bought.... a beautiful handmade soap.... Lime a thistle. At a summer f'ete yesterday. I tried it this morning. Its really lovely. Nice and fresh too. Not sticky like soaps ive tried in the past. 

The recent trial team for soap got me thinking I wouldnt mind trying some as im normally a shower gel girl.

Last purchases were from Farmers on Friday. Some fake tan from Clarins and a perfume sampler set.

Currently contemplating a MAC palette as they are 25% off, which is super rare for MAC.

I picked up a few bits and pieces at the makeup sale last week - Loreal Miss Manga Mascara, Loreal Brow Plumper, LA Color Gel Polish, EOS Lip Balm, Batiste Dry Shampoo and a hand sanitiser. 
I am looking at getting some new skincare but that might have to wait until after Christmas as I still have a few gifts to buy.

In the past week I've brought a couple more scrubs from Bossy, a kit from the benefit site (they had the majorette blush for $10 with any order so couldnt resist), CC cream and an eyeshadow palette from Chichi. Am in that shopping mood right now so am trying to be good and close out before I hit that magic checkout button!

I did a bit of Christmas shopping in the weekend which ended up getting some for myself. They're mostly from Kmart and what I got for myself there is a set of nail polishes for $7. It's from the A.O.C. brand which I've never seen before. I've swatched them on my nail wheel and they look really promising! If they're good, I'll do a proper blog post on them.

Besides that, I succumbed to the black friday discount on feelunique and got my favourite Maybelline age rewind concealer, Bourjois Air Mat foundation and a Topshop bronzer/highlighter I've been wanting for ages. I managed to save $20 from the discount so yay!

Last beauty purchases? Sephora Black Friday sale I ended up with Clinique Even Better Foundation, $10 Black Friday packs - Smashbox primer, Boscia skincare and Tarte blusher. I've also recently purchased MAC foundation, powder and a LE lippy and the Clinique Be Your Brightest gift set. If you can't tell I love a good gift pack!

My last beauty purchase was probably my L'Occitane advent calendar! I'm so excited about opening it tomorrow. I hope I remember in the rush to get ready tomorrow. (I also have an advent calendar for my dog that I'm excited about giving her)

Yes, I'm excited for that one too Kirstyj. I had a big deadline to meet today so I'm tempted to open it now.......I will wait though as Im hoping it will motivate me to get out of bed earlier.

My last purchase was a top up of my skin care, which is boring, but they were having a sale AND giving away a free palette, so I had to jump in on that.

I'm still waiting on an order from last Tuesday that I ordered hoping to have it in time for the weekend, they shipped it that day but Fastway couriers (grrr) have had it riding around in their truck for daaaaaaays. Second time in a month they've done this with a package of mine. So annoying when you can't choose the company who delivers your package lol. 

Said package, once it arrives in my hot little hands, holds a brown mascara, which I've wanted to try for a long time but they never have any (cheap) brown mascaras in store. A summer shade of my beloved Maybelline Matte + Poreless foundation, and the L'Oreal True Match concealer...which I entirely could've done without, but it was super cheap and I've heard great things. Haha. Excuses, excuses.

My recent purchases have all been Jamberry orders for other people - it's killing me having all the pretties arrive and then having to pack it all up and send them away again lol.
I am going to place a Bossy order this week though, I need some happy mail!

Just repurchased a Rimmel Stay Matte face powder because my old one is nearing its end - after two years of daily use it's lasted so long! I also recently bought Mary-Lou Manizer as a treat to myself for finishing my degree.

My last shop at Farmers on the weekend got me a Snowberry new radiance serum (I wanted it since I saw it here), Australis fresh and flawless powder, and a Chichi browlift pencil. I have $60 of vouchers so I used that combined with the "exclusive" card holder 15% off, total cost to me $9.
I have a whole lot in my youshop that is coming to me 2 palettes, 2 brow products, Clinique pretty wow pretty now with a bonus time in it as well.
I need to throw out the stuff that is over 4 years old in my collection before it arrives.

Reading these replies is almost as good as going shopping myself - second-hand enjoyment haha! I've been pretty good about not too many unnecessary purchases recently (miraculously). The most recent have been a ChiChi beautyblender type sponge from Farmers (bought with part of a gift-card), and two Bossy items which should get here in the next day or two: the creme brulee shower whip, and the new balm deodorant. I'd love to try all the things from the Christmas range, but so far I've managed to withhold from temptation....so far. :P

I was out today picked up my final pieces for my Secret Santas. I may check out a bucket sale to see what else I can throw into it tommorow. I saw your make up haul on the wall astylecollector. Jamberry seems to be the nail craze at the moment Maree.

I have noticed there are pictures of empty product containers on the photo wall. Can someone please tell me the reason.

Kalee it's just people showing the products they have completely used up this month - there are different motivations for it. Some like to entirely use an item before buying a similar item, some are working through a huge stash, some are showing products they've used frequently recently etc. it's all an insight into other peoples routines :)

At first he said what this?  He doesnt normally try anything outside of bodywash, I tried it on his hands and it melted all the grease off. He really likes it. I have it beside our handsoap so he can use it after work every night. Now he thinks Stephanie is some kind of angel lol

After a bit of a spend up at Labour weekend I've been quite restrained!

I have only purchased two different Natio gift sets - a foot scrub + cream + brush one for my mum and a body scrub/butter one for myself. Some things from MAC - Mineralised charged water spray, Mascara, a christmas lipstick/pencil/gloss set, oil blotting sheets, a new lip prep and prime and I'll probably end up buying the MAC bb cream at some point this week because I picked up a tester last week and I really like it! 

Maybe I haven't been that restrained at all? I also have a Lush giftcard coming my way shortly and it's my birthday in a couple of weeks so I'll definitely be acquiring more goodies soon!

I have a huge stash of products that I'm trying to work through, so all I bought recently was a Pink Grapefruit soap from The Body Shop and a bright electric blue mascara from Countdown. 
I just bought a ton of the seasonal stuff from the Body Shop. They smell so good!

Some Bossy just arrived. whoop. Bounce hair mask. Anyone tried it? My hair has gone dry from the lightening spray in the Sept BB. Im hoping this will help. 
I also got my man some of that handsome as hell face mask. Now to figure out how to get him to try it.

The only time I liked using the Bossy Bounce mask (I had a smaller tub) was when I bleached my hair. It restored all of the moisture and didn't leave a greasy feeling like every other time I used it, it also left my hair feeling nice and soft. I'd only buy it again only if I were to bleach all my hair again :-)

After wanting to curb my spending, farmers has a good sale tomorrow.  They have 3 months interest free on the card too which is totally tempting me. I have so much to do tomorrow though so hopefully I'll get too busy and forget.

Even though Im in Aus, nothing has really been catching my eye, and I am only trying to buy things I really want, rather just wasting money. Brought some new nail polish for summer though, it just seems to be my weakness.
