Splurged on a few bits of makeup and skincare. Well. As much splurging as sticking with my budget will allow. A couple of highlighters, a glycolic peel mask and a blusher from Superdrug (because that is how to splurge while still sticking to your budget), among other things. Quite chuffed that despite the 20% off on Paula’s Choice I managed to make myself go with the budget option No7:
Started rereading Carol Goodman’s Incubus. In the past, I’ve insisted this is one of my all-time top 10 books. …I’ve got really poor taste, don’t I?
Had endless cups of ginger lemon. That ginger sting, nothing quite like it!
Bonus: Found out Batiste is in fact not cruelty free. ARGH! Not so much because there are no options, there are plenty options, but because
a. just because a company claims to be vegan and cruelty free doesn’t mean they actually are (they probably sell in China), and
b. apparently you need to be checking up on companies all the time, because their cruelty free status could change at any time.
Who has the time, energy and presence of mind for that??
Admittedly. The fact that Batiste is on Logical Harmony’s pending list should have tipped me off; maybe they’re not as cruelty free as they pretend to be. If I had checked that list, that is. I just assumed based on what people were saying. So that’s my lesson: Check Logical Harmony more regularly.
Good rule of thumb: when in doubt, stick with Swedish brands. We’re not allowed to test on animals. H&M is obviously rushing to be that one exception (is that something you feel good about…?), but until further notice..

Hah, jag med! PS ba “18% rabatt!”. Jag hade t.o.m. två grejer i korgen, sen insåg jag att de € 5 jag skulle spara varken gör till eller från, så det kan vänta 😛
Ska, precis som med böcker, försöka ta mig igenom det jag har innan jag köper massa nytt. Vi får se hur det går…

Ja precis! När man en gång börjat köpa PC är det svårt att sluta men alltså, patience! Man vill ju så gärna stock up när man får rabatt, men det är ju inte särskilt smart. Dessutom har man ju redan hunnit märka att det ofta är rabatt, man hinner ju.
