From July to August I spent about 294 € and so far this year I've spent 993 €.
I did buy some some things I didn't need, but mostly it seems I've bought things I need but chosen expensive alternatives instead of budget ones. Most are repurchases as well.
I am dreading the holiday season. But I already took a look at the released advent calendars, and while it seems they are generally good this year, they still include a lot of things I am not interested in so might skip. Looking forward to seeing Skincity calendar this year though. But it must be amazing for me to actually go for it.
Moroccanoil Treatment Light 125 ml
WE CARE ICON Flawless Cleansing & Blending Sponge Set
Redken Extreme Conditioner 500 ml
About 75€.
I've had Morocconoil Treatment before, the normal one and light are similar enough. (This one was on sale.) Really like it and the scent.
I've had some Redken products before and liked everything. I also like this conditioner, but not sure if it's a favorite or repurchase yet (used maybe 1/3?).
The sponge set is good for the price, but I'm not too picky. It cost 10 € or so.
Uriage Bariéderm Cica-Cream
Avène Cicalfate + Repairing Protective Cream
A-Derma Dermalibour+ Barrier Soothing Barrier Cream
Rexona Maximum Protection Sport Strength x2
Chloé Chloé Eau de Parfum 20 ml
From Notino, about 77€.
Uriage cream and Chloe parfum are new, others are repurchases. I do have sample of Chloe that I had with me while travelling and liked it so much that I wanted more. Now, that the weather has changed into autumn, I don't like it as much. For me it is definitely a summer fragrance.

MEDIK8 CLARIFYING FOAM
ACO INTIMATE CARE CLEANSING WASH
NIZOEXPERT DAILY CARE SHAMPOO
From pharmacy, about 47€.
Everything is repurchase. No complaints.
Rexona Maximum Protection Sport Strength x4
From Notino, 45€.
I actually ordered some things for my family, so just chucked some basics for me too. Plus a few fragrance samples I did not need... But did already fall in love with Narciso Cristal!
Also, I'm on a fence if I should buy a full bottle of Avene Antirougeurs Rosamed. The sample had enough for 2-3 uses, so can't say I had results yet. But it was pleasant, quite light, absorbed well, no scent. Not enough on its own for night, after retinoids. But sandwiched well between Differin and Avene Cicalfate+. I reckon it could work well under makeup for daytime. Maybe had a calming effect, definitely did not irritate my skin. Let's see!
Masque Me Up Hemp Foot Peeling Mask x2
From Normal and other basic stores. Maybe about 50€?
I did need peeling/moisturizing socks (my feet are in terrible condition... haven't taken care of them much), a cheaper shampoo so that I do not power through expensive ones all the time, some hair serums for my dry hair/oily scalp and a new brow gel.
Got2b brow gel is a repurchase, I've had the old one for maybe 1,5 years? Feels like it's not performing as good as new, could be my imagination as well though. But I'll use the new one for brows, old one for stray hairs now.
L'Oreal Elvital Glycolic Gloss Serum is actually really good! My hair felt smoother and silkier after a few uses.
L'Oreal Elvital Oil Erasing Scalp Serum is good as well. The nozzle works really well for applying the serum. The consistency is like thick liquid, easy to massage in but will not drip off. I apply generously so the bottle lasts likely 6-7 uses. The results are not "miraculous", but they are there (scalp feels cleaner longer), a good addition every 2-3 weeks!
