Sorry if I've missed anyone

Well I better get my acting chops on then 😂

@AprilLady that is amazing 😂 I love the random crackers and dates

Just got an email about the Harvey Nichols GWP. I’m passing on this…nothing I need and the sizes are very small. The bag is super cute though!

liberty are now doing their GWP. Spend £175=and it’s apparently worth £350.

Just wondering when the next 20% of everything beauty might be? I know there was an AFFNEW20 code for cult beauty, Space Nk do one in November just before Christmas madness and Liberty did one recently. I want to plan in advance as they always come along and I miss out!

Nothing? Any good GWP? I might place my order on Cult Beauty as they have 15% off with code and a full size product as a gift. I missed out on the Liberty GWP and I would have quite liked it. @Giftwithpurchase

Hi @BakeOffRewatch sorry I've fallen off this thread (& Mumsnet generally!) for various reasons.. although I did notice the Cult full sized gift and was very tempted as I love the Elemis cleanser - pretty good freebie for £80 spend as it's £40 usually...

Thanks @Giftwithpurchase , bit cheeky of me to tag you sorry but you always know! I’ve missed out on the CultBeauty GWP now. I always do this, fill the basket and say I’ll finish later. Missed out on the Liberty GWP last week the same way.

@BakeOffRewatch haha don't worry at all! I know I always do the same, fill my basket then go do something else and forget all about it! I've really been trying to pair down my skincare but am getting to the stage where I do actually have to buy some new stuff now - I'll keep an eye out for any deals!

@BakeOffRewatch Harvey Nicks currently have a reasonable (but not great) GWP.

And Niche beauty have a really good looking fragrance GWP, but minimum spend is quite high and they may not have what you want in stock. They do deliver free and taxes paid to the UK.

Thanks @AprilLady , you’re right not too tempting. I really dislike having lots of minis, from a practical and packaging waste point of view. Who need 10ml Malian and Goetz body wash and moisturiser? I have to balance it with what I actually want to buy as well. Need to top up on Nuxe oil, couple of Hourglass products I want, and I want a naice body lotion, shampoo and body wash, don’t mind which brands. Was looking at Bamford on Liberty site and Ouai Body Crème mousse on Cult Beauty.

Instead what I’ll do is a top up shop at Boots with some Soap and Glory and tell myself I’ll be better prepared next time.

That reminds me I actually got a GWP with No 7 couple of weeks ago when topping up my eye liner supply, I haven’t even opened it 😳

This is the No 7 GWP I got. https://www.boots.com/no7-skincare-treats-set-gift-with-purchase-10339360 I can see it on eBay for £10-£15 ? Do you think that’s a fair price? I might do the same, but I’ve never sold beauty on eBay before.

I got that too @BakeOffRewatch
Though I'm using mine
I would suggest between £5 -10 on eBay

Right realised how silly it sounded to say I was waiting for the right GWP to buy stuff I wanted! I used CultBeauty FIRST15 for Hourglass products, as their other discount codes don’t work on them. I then placed quite a large order of Ouai shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body crème and Nuxe oil with the code WAYNECB which gives 20% off. Found that code via Google and trial and error. Was tempted to add Suqqu primer SPF 15 and Suqqu SPF 50 cream, but the checkout total was huge already and I have some Boots sun cream to get through first. Maybe I’ll get those with the next good GWP. I can’t exercise at the moment, and have been neglecting body skin care so am looking forward to this.

Do any regular beauty thread people want the No 7 skincare set? I’d be happy to post. Kind mumsnetter had sent me stuff on Mat leave before and it meant so much to me.

There’s 20% off nearly everything on CultBeauty at the moment

Then I missed the Space NK 20% this Easter weekend, I’ll bear that in mind for next Easter.

Liberty have just launched a 20% off loyalty event with 10% off beauty.

Two of the products I received from Cult Beauty smell off, it’s a product I use regularly. I’ve raised it to their customer service 2 weeks ago and I just get messages saying “please be sure we’re taking this seriously and allow 2-3 days for a response” each time I chase, signed off from a different name.

I’ve googled CB customer service and the results are awful. Any help? Or shall I go straight to my bank to sort it out now it’s been two weeks? It’s not an amount of money I want to let go and say “lesson learned”. Never ordering from CB again.

@BakeOffRewatch I had a similarly bad experience with CB customer service last year (different issue). Suggest you leave a negative review on trust pilot - once I did that it was sorted within a day!

Thanks @Zoetrope1 . Just received another reply, EXACTLY the same as one sent to me 2hrs ago. Are they chatbots?

I think the £18 value £61 ASOS Self Care Superstars Box kit looks good. I always appreciate a collection of mini face SPFs. I think it’s all minis though. I know other people like candles, but I don’t use them!

Space NK GWP looks great to me “The Ready Steady Edit” £175 spend and £370 value https://www.spacenk.com/uk/beauty-gift-with-purchase.html

The fenwick one didn’t appeal to me so much product wise though the number of full sizes was great. This space nk one has lots of practical items like serums and spf. https://beautyadventcalendar.net/space-nk-the-ready-set-glow-gwp/

Thanks for the heads up @BakeOffRewatch I was just about to order some sunscreen/gradual tan/bronzing drops from Boots so switched the order to Space NK to get the GWP 😁
