Beauty chat - freebies/gifts with purchase/offers

[Giftwithpurchase]

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!

Not a GWP, but my trip to TK Maxx was productive. I got an Eve Lom brightening cream for £29 & an Alpha H Gold eye firming cream for £10. Also got 2 soaps, a wet brush, facial razors, false eyelashes, some earrings & a make up brush set.

They also had this beauty box in for £20, but I didn’t buy it.

@Offredismysister great haul! TK Maxx is the best - I was so excited when my local one reopened .. hope the Alpha H eye cream does the job
@AprilLady thanks for the recommendations - I like the look of the MK skin eye cream but £95 does seem a little steep .. I'm thinking maybe I get a face gadget instead to try and tackle the bags and wrinkles.. may start browsing on Liberty to fill as basket in anticipation-
I think gifts are so much more frequent these days and it's been a little while so fingers crossed!

@AprilLady - I’m coming to the end of my Lucia Magnani eye cream from the F&M advent. Been investigating a repurchase and it’s going for 50% off on the Lucia Magnani site right now - I still baulk at £65 for an eye cream though, so won’t be replacing (but I’d be delighted to find this in a GWP or advent later in the year) ....... would love a Liberty GWP.. Need to replace some Votary products but like others on here, have decided not to purchase anything from the more lux brands in future unless there is some sort of gift/incentive attached 😊

Cult Beauty goodie bag alert!!! I've just had the email - not looked at the contents yet as out and about. Exciting

I’ve not had an email or seen anything on the site 🤔.

No email here either but if you go to CB website there's something in the promotions FAQ - it lists the contents. Wonder if they're only emailing select customers?

I had the email. Add £150 worth of stuff to your bag. Go to your account (if you are registered) and use code ‘EARLYACCESS’ to add the GWP on checkout. Presume this is just for the first 24 hours and that the gift will be generally available sometime tomorrow.......

I haven't received the code.... is there any other way to get it?

Now I have a dilemma...... place my Votary order with CB or hold out in the hope that Liberty will come up with an offering soon........

Thanks @Luvacuppatea but I've just tried that and nothing happened so maybe the code is linked to specific customer accounts?

Thanks for posting the pic @Luvacuppatea .. I can never seem to add pictures on the app.. hmm maybe it's gone out to a few ppl today with general release tomorrow .. it looks pretty good although it has a lipstick and a gloss which I know I would never wear - I only wear clear balm atm to avoid lipstick marks on the baby haha

And yes .. I wonder if next will be Space NK then Liberty...

Are you registered with CB @westr? Signed into your account before adding code? As @Giftwithpurchase says, it will be on general release tomorrow, so should add automatically to any purchase then 😊

My email just arrived and I'm not a prolific shopper there so perhaps they're just going through the alphabet.

I'm still waiting for SpaceNK to bring theirs out.

I just splashed out on a mountain of Bum Bum cream from CB to get the GWP.

Yes, I'm registered but it is saying that code won't work with my account. How disappointing! I'll try again tomorrow.

@HundredMilesAnHour haha brilliant - love bumbum cream .. let us know when you receive the gift and what you think!

@westr really hope you can get it tomorrow

I can see loads of stuff in that Cult Beauty photo that I know I like but I still have most of my March Space NK GWP to work through. I am sitting on my hands!

I am at least getting to the end of a few products so there'll be space in the cupboard soon enough

FYI think the CB gift is on general release now

Just ordered and got the gift!

@westr 🙌 ..
Let us know what you think when it arrives!

I’ve also caved. I needed some Dr Dennis Gross daily peel wipes so I got a box of those, a sol de janeiro lip balm & a 30ml maision margiela perfume.
