Sorry if I've missed anyone

@OvaHere absolutely, definitely 2 pins as a minimum. I know colours are limited so they did their best there. But only 1 is a bit silly.

@paristotokyo and others. The Boots K Beauty box is now for sale - £40

https://www.boots.com/boots-korean-beauty-skincare-box-10361550?mi_cmp=261df17a697fb840~12817249~~~~~&mi_ecmp=dm282413&mi_sc=t&pos=3&utm_campaign=BEAUTY&utm_content=MY%20BEAUTY&utm_id=DM282413&utm_medium=e_mail&utm_source=email&utm_term=&storeId=11352&catalogId=28501

Boots also have an offer where if you spend £40 on selected K Beauty you get £10 back in points. Many of the items already have the 15% off premium beauty reduction.

I bought the Eborian CC cream I use and a face mask for £42.92 then got the £10 of points back making it £32.92 which is a decent saving on the large CC cream.

Thanks, I've picked up the k- beauty box from boots this morning. I've been interested in trying some Korean products but wasn't sure where to start.

@OvaHere oooh thanks for alerting us! I'm being very restrained and have decided to stop myself as I'm currently doing a huge sort out and have lots to use up first of similar items. It's a fab box though. I'd rebuy anything you like from stylevana/yesstyle though as boots prices are way more expensive

@OvaHere just saw your message about points and discounts, that makes sense. Love k-beauty. I bought so many things whilst in Korea last year that I have a huge stash to use

Yes, I have a fair stash from those sites which is why I didn't buy it. I already own about a third of the box in either samples, minis or full sizes. It's good one to dip your toe in though because the k beauty sites can be a bit baffling at first.

Another here with a stash to work through so will pass on this one and have put a k beauty advent on my list for later in the year.

Sadly nothing I want or will use in the space nk edit other than the bag 😂 and I know it wouldn’t stay white for long. So it’s a pass for me.

Both the. Boots k beauty and the Space Nk edit have infiltrated my no beauty buying ban. The boots edit has arrived already and is lovely. Thank you to the OP for flagging it up. 🆙

Is anyone doing the BBC masterclass? I was curious about the goody bag

@MentyB I have signed up for it, I mainly want to listen to Skin Rocks and looking forward to the goody bag that we’ll get next week.
Have you signed up?
@Addictedtobeauty I bought the SNK edit and happy with it, I am a Westman fan and TIMY, only dud for me are the hair clips and will probably sell the Elemis as my stash of moisturisers is overflowing.

@MrsBnow12 Not yet. The skin rocks is probably the only part I'd actually be interested in watching as I don't really wear makeup so I'm debating wether I'd just be doing it for the goody bag and if it would be worth it for that. 🤣

@MentyB They have shown 3 spoilers for the goody bag so far, it includes a skin rocks cream cleanser (125ml); Bobbi Brown face base 15ml and Vida Glow radiance capsules.

So I said I wasn’t going to get the boots k-beauty box however it was bought for me as a birthday present! Very happy with it. Really good products as previously mentioned and good sizes

Me too, only a couple of days ago persuaded by what I saw on instagram (although I may well have misunderstood). Apparently the H2O body cream I got as an extra with the Mothers Day box will be included in the Masterclass bag. I started using mine the other week and, surprisingly, I actually really like it. I wouldn't buy it at £35 but I'd love more of it if it comes with other stuff as well. The instagram thingy (I don't know what they are called, the short videos and pictures from a circle at the top), also showed a sheet mask with a yellow background and some Skin Rocks but I couldn't work out what exactly.
I will be watching the Bobby Brown makeup and Skin Rocks presentation. I hope I can do it on my phone and time it with a dog walk, unless we have unexpected visitors. The dogs are usually stuck to me like a shadow so they better behave like they normally do!
All in all, it's actually a good idea for an 'event'.

Ooh thank you for this. I like that primer. I'm very low on makeup use, but I've been using this and the Aldi dupe on occasions when I've been doing foundation and light makeup.

@paristotokyo what a fabulous gift and Happy Birthday.

@Branster I was contemplating going to London when they first announced it but had decided not to as my trains are rubbish on a Sunday so was delighted when they switched to online and signed up.
I think the mask you are referencing is Dr Jart’s as got one in my Mothers Day edit, I didn’t get the H2O so looking forward to trying that.

@MrsBnow12thank you 😊

The space nk edit has arrived. It’s worth it for the pro collagen cream, the blusher & the candle. The bag is cute but will get filthy & the cleansing balm is tiny, but I’ve used it before & it’ll be good for holiday. I’ll give the lip oil & hairpin away I think.

@MrsBnow12 hopefully I didn't get it mixed up and maybe we'll get the body cream.
Much easier online, I agree.
Sunday trains have been a nightmare for a few months now. Very unreliable.

@MrsBnow12 I just now I ordered the Founders Edit. Oops.
I wasn't going to because I bought the one from last year which was a bit of a mistake, still on the website as a beauty box showing all the items, but I remember paying £90 then later it was reduced to £70 which was a bit annoying. Also, I didn't think much of the Kate Somerville sprays. I did use the other stuff but it was more of a 'take it or leave it' feeling.
But I couldn't resist the mystery factor this morning and the price seemed OK.

@Branster I was on the fence with the Founders Edit but would like to try the glow mask so made sense to buy it, hopefully won’t have buyers regret. I hope the other items are not duplicates from other edits. I think after this I won’t buy anymore mystery type edits from them until their Black Friday/Christmas offers.
Only so many beauty products you can use in a year.

I keep saying the same. No more! Then I just sort of pretend to forget.
I'll make a big donation to the tombola for the local village event in the summer, so hopefully that will reduce my stock. But you are right, there's only so much one can use on their own.
