Thanks @OvaHere marking my place x

kerstina · 24/02/2025 11:03

Here too . Did anyone else buy the cult beauty box/ hush edit ? I love the west man atelier highlighter so bought it mainly for that . Will probably sell the CT highlighter as it’s too dark for me.

TreesinthePark · 24/02/2025 11:49

Hello - marking my place here after migrating from the advent calendar thread :)

Ladybrows · 24/02/2025 12:17

Another new recruit here from the advent calendar thread. 😉

Yes I did. I had a voucher which brought it down to £32. I bought it mostly for the bag, the WA highlighter and the ND palette. Will probably sell or pass on the rest.

I'm here from the other thread, still trying not to get too carried away buying thjngs I don't need!

Isabelle70 · 24/02/2025 12:59

Hello, I have come over from the other thread. I don't need any products but it's good to keep up to date?!

MrsBnow12 · 24/02/2025 14:51

The Westman Highlighter is gorgeous, I also have one of their blushes and it is also lovely.
SpaceNK are teasing a new edit on Instagram and looks like a Westman Atelier product is included.

I haven't used it yet but it does look nice. I'm also interested in the blushes so will look out for the Space NK gwp. Hopefully it won't be a very high spend like the recent Liberty and Cult Beauty gwp.

Doubleraspberry · 24/02/2025 15:18

Hello. So many kits, so little money.

OvaHere · 24/02/2025 15:19

Sorry just realised you said edit not gwp. They are usually reasonably priced but can sell out quickly.

Thanks for reviving the thread @OvaHere ! I think @Giftwithpurchase is on a hiatus for now. @Isabelle70 I do think being updated is key here, it’s easy to be an absolute mug if you’re only signed up to one retailer. I don’t buy anything full price now. And edits with minis are enough to get me through seasons such as summer sunscreen and winter parties.

OvaHere · 24/02/2025 16:16

Just seen the Spacek NK edit has the Then I Met You Cleansing Balm too. Definitely going to try and nab this one as I've been wanting that for a while.

Miss Boux (blogger) has suggested the blurred images are

Elemis PC moisturiser

TIMY Balm

Rare Beauty Lip Oil

WA Blush Stick

Jo Loves Candle

  • potentially more

Thanks @OvaHere - Checking in from the advent thread. M&S have a number of gift sets at 30-50% off. Benefit, Loccitane ect. They also have 20% off of hair care eg Percy and Reed, Aveda ect.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 24/02/2025 19:56

Also checking in from the advent thread.
Thanks for the link @OvaHere

Giftwithpurchase · 24/02/2025 19:58

Thanks for reviving the thread @OvaHere and for the tag @BakeOffRewatch .. I'll definitely post offers I see. One good tip I have is to try and use the Recyle:me app if you don't already. It's really simple and you get a £5 voucher for Cult Beauty or Look Fantastic with every 5 items of hard to recycle beauty packaging you send to them. I've made £50 in vouchers just in the last couple of months. Definitely worth the slight hassle of cleaning and uploading (& posting..!).

BakeOffRewatch · 24/02/2025 20:22

I had no idea about that! I’ve got rid of a few empties recently argh. Well now I know thank you

OvaHere · 24/02/2025 20:32

@Giftwithpurchase @BakeOffRewatch

Someone posted about it on the other thread so I sent some of mine off last week. Just waiting for the vouchers to process. Out of 29 items I only had 2 rejected. You can only post 5 off at a time, only generate 1 postage QR code per day and no more than 8 per month (check FAQs for accuracy on that)

Luckily I'm disorganised so I had a bunch of empties sat in a box that I hadn't got round to doing anything with.

OvaHere · 24/02/2025 20:36

Also thank you @Giftwithpurchase for letting us squat in your thread. It seemed a bit premature to begin another Advent thread just yet! 😂

Giftwithpurchase · 24/02/2025 20:50

@OvaHere of course! This is the perfect place for it - I've just been too preoccupied with toddler wrangling to keep it going!

@BakeOffRewatch I have Miss Budget Beauty on YouTube to thank - she did a really useful vlog about Recycle:me - I was kicking myself thinking of all the stuff I've got rid of before I knew about it! In my opinion it's much better than the Boots scheme.

I use the free Royal Mail collection service so it's pretty easy.

OP posts:
Giftwithpurchase · 24/02/2025 20:53

Also if any of your empties are rejected it's often worth another try as often they reject it due to selecting the wrong type of packaging or taking a picture of the wrong part of the product - they don't want you to photograph the bar code for example.
