Still doing the whole buying less thing, I did get one rly nice pair of boots (with an individual item discount card for a few extra quid off) and a rly cute pair of Halloween ghost pants (I thought this image was ok for this site but mods feel free to delete if you think it's not), plus more Cardcaptor Sakura cuz I don't wanna miss out on the hardbacks so I'll buy at least one per financial cycle until I have a complete set - none of these items have arrived yet, will post in the what did you receive today thread when they do, rly hoping the boots are as good as the pictures and rly comfy!
I also did end up kinda going a lil off the rails in Boots the other day and buying more than I intended to when I went in, got a gift set of Sol de Janeiro body mists and I got some other fragrances and some nail polish and lip balm and toothpaste and sanitary towels as well (I did need the last three things but the others not so much!) I haven't tested the nail polish yet cuz I already painted my nails recently and don't really like using nail polish remover, but I'll try them out when the last lot's worn off, it's a set of chrome effect colours that also comes with some nail gems
As for the fragrance stuff there's kinda a silver lining in that the cheaper set I bought from a brand called Treaclemoon (in a three for two with the lip balm and nail polish sets I got) actually smell very nice and have way less of a toxic smell when u are spraying them on before they have settled than the (more expensive) Sol de Janeiro ones, the latter do smell lovely when they have settled but I might switch to the cheaper brand cuz it's nice being able to breathe in without gagging when ur applying the stuff and prob a lot healthier too, they also are better on that front (the whole "not smelling like a chemlab when you're putting it on" thing) than the also more affordable So Unique brand that I often buy cuz they have a nice white chocolate truffle one. The lip balms fulfill my main requirement of not tasting rank when I touch my lips w my tongue (I'd say they don't rly taste of anything), so my instinct/educated guess that the ones I purchased would be ok on that front was correct (it was a set of three w vanilla, strawberry and blueberry scents), before I was basically wearing moisturising lipstick as lip balm because so many lip balms taste icky, and while I love lipstick, I wanna wear it when I actually really wanna wear lipstick and not just to moisturise my lips, and a good lip balm is way more effective at that anyway! I will try to edit this post and add a photo of the stuff from Boots soon but haven't taken a pic of it yet
