Beauty chat - freebies/gifts with purchase/offers

I just wondered if anyone would be interested in discussing the beauty gifts with purchase/offers which come about on Cult Beauty, Space NK and the like every few months. I loved the advent calendar threads and thought this might be similar. If there's already a threat on this apologies & I'd appreciate the link! As you can tell I'm a little addicted and find them hard to resist and would love to compare with like minded pp. We could even do swaps if pp want.
I just cracked and bought the recent Cult Beauty 'Self Care' goodie bag - couldn't resist the name as I'm in desperate need of some self care after a rough few months (isn't everyone?!). I haven't opened it yet as haven't had the time with a 6 month old - but can't wait to have a peak. I also forgot what I bought for the £170 required purchase. But think I snuck in a few bit of makeup which isn't like me as I stick to my favourite makeup and usually just buy skincare and body stuff. Anyone else purchase it? What did you think? Be great to get notifications when other sites/retailers have good offers to!

Just signed up to the Liberty Beauty Drop too! Looking forward to the first box of freebies mid-October 😊. Saving for the advent calendar sounds like a great idea but I’m pretty sure I’ll be drawn in by a beauty kit along the way, or use my credit towards the qualifying amount for a GWP (if that’s allowed)

LizzieMacQueen · 30/09/2021 15:41

Well now I have FOMO. No Liberty invite for me yet, despite spending (more than I dare say out loud) quite a lot this year.

I did go on their website to register interest. Maybe it'll arrive soon 🤞

Giftwithpurchase · 30/09/2021 15:55

Nothing from Liberty for me either @LizzieMacQueen...!!!

Yes, I registered my interest but no invite for me either! Hopefully they’re going out in waves.

AprilLady · 30/09/2021 16:33

You don’t need an invite for the Liberty subscription service, you can sign up using this link:

LizzieMacQueen · 30/09/2021 17:25

Thank you @AprilLady

Giftwithpurchase · 30/09/2021 17:41

Signed up- finally received an email but had already signed up using @AprilLady link Smile

Now been browsing Liberty and realised I want it all - clothes, home wear, jewellery ...🤦‍♀️

I just signed up using @AprilLady's link. Thank you so much!!

Brogues · 01/10/2021 14:55

I’m another who signed up. I’m pleased with the format and it means that I’ll be able to send gifts direct with free p&p throughout the year. Just hoping the boxes are worth it because I’m going to cancel another subscription for it.

This looks lovely but it’s £450 - acqua di Parma

PomRuns · 01/10/2021 15:35

Sorry that was for the advent thread!

MoniqueFalck · 01/10/2021 15:42

Please can anyone help with how to subscribe to the liberty subscription? I clicked the link, but I can't see anywhere to actually join, just to register interest.

Does that mean that it is fully subscribed?

Thanks xx

Brogues · 01/10/2021 15:46

If it is fully subscribed they have said they will reopen subscriptions in November so all is not lost.

MoniqueFalck · 01/10/2021 15:58

Oh No!! If It is November it means I will have to spend an extra £40 to get my next quarterly box!

Oh well.

Stupid invitation email went into my junk folder.

Thanks for the update though.

Brogues · 01/10/2021 16:13

Sorry it was December - I’ve just checked their Instagram page. All sold out in 12 hours!

MoniqueFalck · 01/10/2021 16:21

Goodness. Well I will pay attention in December then!

Thanks again

You'll have to post a juicy picture of what you actually get.

I will have to pick out a nice bundle or kit to spend the 60 on! Maybe there will be a good GWP soon

Tempted by the latest Space NK luxury skincare collection. Although think it's a bit much to say 5 full sized items when one is a mask and one is a 10ml facial oil. Is that really full size??? Is a nice collection tho.

The cult beauty boxes do look good.

If anyone likes fragrance samples, Cohorted have an interesting new fragrance sample box in partnership with Harvey Nichols:

You can get 25% off with code WELCOME25

Luvacuppatea · 05/10/2021 06:46

Feel Unique have a free beauty bag worth £150 with a £130 spend right now. In the name of research only (😂) I put the advent calendar (£119) and one other item to my basket to meet the minimum spend,
and the gift added. They have a few other calendars for sale too so might be useful for someone
@Caggie09 those boxes look really interesting and would make great gifts

LizzieMacQueen · 05/10/2021 08:22

Ah, I have obviously been spoilt with other GWP but the only exciting item for me in that FeelUnique offer would be the black make up case.

Luvacuppatea · 05/10/2021 08:32

Totally agree @LizzieMacQueen, I’d only go for the FU gift if I was already planning a purchase, like an advent calendar. I’m eagerly awaiting the first Liberty beauty drop box right now and definitely planning on getting a few of those Cult Beauty boxes if I can get my hands on them 😊

LizzieMacQueen · 05/10/2021 10:42

Liberty AC now available for those subscribed to their new beauty drop.

I have a refer a friend code for anyone interested.

Decent offer from Estee Lauder with their signature red bag. Perfect for those ANR fans out there.
