Sorry if I've missed anyone

One of my rejected ones was because it rolled over and the barcode was showing so I'll retake that one at some point.

Yeh I initially had a few rejected for that and also because I struggled to select the correct packaging so had to tweak a few details to get the app to show me the correct form of tub/jar etc. I really hope it actually works from an environmental pov as I've always hated not being able to recycle beauty/skincare stuff

I already have 5 items scanned and approved with the recycle.me app. I am wfh all this week so will sort out posting them next week, looking forward to seeing how much I can save up :)

I just had my first credit arrive in my Look Fantastic account 🎉This is from the package I sent on 14 Feb, to give some idea of timings
@Giftwithpurchase Do you know if there's any expiry on the credit? I had thought not but I'm a bit confused as it says "all credit expires 30 days from redemption"

I've got a stash of stuff that I'd previously logged on Boots but I'm going to re-route some of it to recycle:me instead I think. I agree, it's so easy with the Royal Mail collection and the fact that you don't need to spend anything to get credit makes it better than Boots, IMHO.

Thanks for moving us over here @OvaHere. There's a new Liberty GWP, seems to be a lot of repeats.

@Roundaboot that's a good point about expiry dates for credit. I actually don't know as I spent mine straight away 😂.. but I'll have a look when my next credit comes in

Well my Space NK advent also got cancelled, after I contacted them to query it.
I thought it was too good to be true. But I’m annoyed that it took for us to chase to get refunds, especially given the cost. They haven’t yet offered me a credit or anything as goodwill gesture. Nor has the £5 credit I used towards the purchase been put back on my account.
On the plus side, I did notice a £10 reward on my account yesterday

Thanks! I'll just keep an eye on the credit (or a bargain so I spend quickly!)

It's shocking about SpaceNK! Sounds like the calendars were never actually back in stock so they really shouldn't have taken your money 😡

First peek at the March Look Fantastic box. It looks like a good one.

Which it should be because the last couple haven't been great and most people didn't receive the perfume from Feb's box (we're supposed to be getting that added to the March box).

I think this Caroline Hirons kit is excellent. It’s got a peptide serum in it, that hasn’t been launched in UK yet educatedmess.com/products/freeze-frame-peptide-serum-concentrate . I am serum lover though. No Skin Rocks products in it though. www.carolinehirons.com/products/the-brighten-and-nourish-kit

“those with mature, dehydrated skin or skin prone to dullness and uneven tone may find it particularly helpful.” “All yours for £135, worth £283.47, for a saving of over 52%.”

Really good sizes.

Last year's spend was £175. It was worth it though, I've been holding off on replacing a few things until they release this

Next have a few mystery boxes at the moment, if you click the link to see the ingredients you can find out what's in them

Impressed with the Next offerings - the £20 boxes are really good value

They are. I'm tempted by the Eid one. Only thing stopping me is that I'd like the Ruby Woo lipstick but there are two shades so it's not guaranteed I'd get that one.

Has anybody seen the teaser on space nk insta for the white & pink towelling beauty bag? It looks like it’s got a full size Elemis pro collagen marine cream, a candle & make up from westman atelier & rare beauty. It looks really good, but no idea of when it’ll be out.

Yes, I think we discussed it on the previous page. I've been watching out for it. I'm thinking it will be next week - they don't usually launch more than a couple of weeks after the teaser.

I am also keeping my eye out for this one as it has some great products from the spoilers x

I believe it's has been mentioned, but Tretinoin 0.025%, 0.05% and 0.1% from Monderma or Dermatica is available for £5-10 as an intro offer/first order.

This sounds interesting
I've you got a link?
