I ordered the Velvet Butternut Jo Malone from their site and they accidentally sent me Mimosa + Cardamom and English Pear + Freesia.

I messaged customer service and they are sending me a new Velvet Butternut! And obviously didn’t ask me to mail back these ones. I’m thrilled!

Mimosa and Cardamom is soooooo good. I’m a HUGE cardamom so highly recommend. And this was delivered just as a was having a really tough day so definitely helped turn it around. Like a little gift from the universe 💛

Photo 1 - donation pan. I went on a drug induced spending spree when I had ankle surgery 🙈. I had way more body spray and fragrance then I’d ever use and also had a lot of unopened from Allure Beauty Box and Ipsy. I donated all my unopened/unused stuff to the women’s shelter. Some of this I probably would have used but I didn’t need it so wanted it to go somewhere a little pampering would go a longer way.

Photo 2 - everything but the fragrance and the top row I rebought and use regularly.

Photo 3 - Fragrance. (Minus Desert Glass by Oakcha which I finished a full bottle of! This was my signature scent before I got way too into fragrance now I don’t have one). I do try to limit my collection as much as possible by getting decants and travel sizes. Descriptions below!

My favorites -

Philosophy body wash. It’s the only scented body wash my skin can tolerate for some reason. I love the tropical scents and Juniper Berries.

La Roche Posay Cleanser - I swear I’ve gone through more bottles than one so far this year. I turned several friends onto it as it’s great for mature, oily or acne prone skin!

Glow Recipe Toner - love this stuff. It’s effective and reduces the appearance of pores without being too aggressive.

Differin - been using this stuff for years. Retinol and acne care without an RX.

Fino Mask- this is so good and moisturizing I can actually get my super straight, dry hair some waves!

Rebuys:
Chloe Vanilla Planiflora: love this scent. Bought more little travel viles since they’re wayyy cheaper than the full bottle. Green Vanilla.

Gigglepuff, Remember Me by Jovoy, and Gucci Bamboo. I got larger decants of Gigglepuff and Remember Me and a full bottle of Gucci Bamboo.

Did not rebuy: Lattafa Her Confession, the The Matcha Le Labo, Ellis Brooklyn Miami Nectar, Byredo Tulip, Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet, Molecule 01.

I didn’t hate any of these but they weren’t 10/10 either. I’ve considered buying her confession but seems a little wintery ATM. Also really liked Byredo Tulip but don’t need anymore freshie florals.
