Sorry if I've missed anyone

@Puravida23 and myself have both read the T&C’s and nothing in them (that we can see) says restricted to one offer only. Two of my orders have dispatched and points posted.

Thank you ☺️

I've placed 5 orders today. This morning I bought the Hourglass Tint with £10 discount plus bonus points.

Then later I placed 4 separate orders for mini products all at around £12 -15 plus the CBWELCOME discount which made them all just over £10 each plus the bonus points each time.

I should stop now otherwise it's going to get embarrassing with my postie next week.

@OvaHere I don’t feel so guilty now with my 5 orders as well. My most expensive one was £20 and the rest between £10 and £12. Also dreading the postie as ordered hair products from Space NK as had 20% and the GWP.

@MrsBnow12 The minis were a bargain. All stuff I use anyway and I'm staying with family over Easter so they will be good to take away.

I've sold a bunch of stuff on Vinted in the last couple of weeks so I don't feel too bad!

@OvaHere I agree it was such a good deal and seems crazy as must have cost them a fortune, I ended up placing another 2 orders this morning and had both Royal Mail and Evri deliver orders today.
Now to just try keep my credit for the advent.

@MrsBnow12 I didn't place any more orders so you've now bested me on that score. 😂

I've got £60 in points now which I'm going to try and hang on to for future edits as overall the CB ones tend to be the best. I'm not going to pretend to myself it will last into advent season before I spend it.

@OvaHere I agree regarding the Cult Beauty edits are such good value. I find it hard to resist a bargain and am pretty good at putting the stuff I don’t want on Vinted/ebay.
I am probably delaying myself I will keep it for advent, am sure it will go on the next edit they release.

You are all terrible influences. I ignored the email initially as I didn't clock what 200 points translated to. Between the discount code and spending credit acquired from Recycle:Me I spent £48.60, on £88 of things, and have got £40 credit back. Plus £2.37 cashback pending.
Feels a bit like I've accidentally conned Cult!

I ended up with 6 orders with Cult Beauty in the end and now have 1400 points (not sure how many I started with but it was less than 100). Absolutely insane value . I was quite embarrassing today when the Evri guy arrived with 5 of the orders at once though ( and I will see him tomorrow for the other). I was thinking of saving mine for the advent too but not sure if there is a max credit you can apply in one go
I agree @PinkArt I too feel like I have scammed Cult Beauty and I feel sorry for the distribution staff who must have been working round the clock today to clear all the orders and also all the packaging from 6 separate orders
I still don’t get it , Basically Cult Beauty was giving stuff away (if valued around £10). It seems madness but I hope they do it again next year!

Email to say Sephora is having a sale next week and Gold members get early access on the 17th with 25% off.
Silver 20% and Bronze 15%.
Instore and online.

@OvaHere Think my bank account is happy I
dont shop at Sephora so won’t be tempted by the sale.

This is a nice box and very good value. I bought their valentines one which was great.

Stylekorean has released the Pore Blur Box (worth $219.50). Priced at $39.
What’s inside:

• [Anua] Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam 150ml
• [Medicube] One Day Exosome Shot Pore Ampoule 7500 30ml

Only downside is that Stylekorean has a min free shipping order of $60 and the website is a pain to sign up to use - not the most intuitive. Shipping is via DHL and is fairly quick.

Another good one if you are a Clarins fan. Next are upping their game. All decent sizes for £45.

I bought this one. More than I would usually spend on an edit but Delina swung it for me. Wanted to try that perfume for a long while and it's very expensive. Will probably sell a few things from the box to justify the price.

@OvaHere I also bought it, mainly for the perfume and Westman as have fallen in love with their blushers and like you will put a few bits on Vinted/Ebay to help offset the cost, agree more than I would normally spend but if I won £100 tonight I would keep everything bar the eyelash curlers as use the BK beauty ones x

@MrsBnow12

Delina and Westman are the main things I wanted. I didn't end up buying that SpaceNK edit that had it in - I think this one might be a full size?

Might keep the Hourglass and Eldridge depends what I think of the colours in person. I'm more likely to keep the HG Finishing Powder because I'm not short on lipgloss.

@OvaHere I will decide on the HG and Lisa when they arrive, I have so many glosses already and as much as I love HG I don’t use a finishing powder.
I have picked up various WA’s from edits and Vinted, and this is a shade I don’t have and yes it is the full size. I think they blend so easily and give a lovely finish.

@MrsBnow12 I do already have a 6 pan HG face palette I got for Xmas which has finishing powder in it so I do not need it but a smaller individual one could be useful for going in my small make up bag and for travel. Undecided as yet.

@OvaHere I also have a 6 pan HG palette, but I use a single for day to day use and only use the palette when I want to use all of the pans, so they will run out roughly the same time…not that I’m aiding and abetting
