Sorry if I've missed anyone

I picked up a couple more AC’s after Christmas so I could get the bits I wanted and sold off the rest, so I have quite a stash to get through. I went down a rabbit hole for a while still buying other things but I’ve been very disciplined recently. I was so close to buying the Cult beauty fragrance edits but held off as I was waiting for my Recycle:me credit to rack up

You are though, aren't you? 😂

There's a good chance I will keep that one.

Does anyone have any idea when the next Liberty GWP will be live? Been waiting for one for a while now but haven’t seen anything & have credit to use.

@ChicDenimCat Just received an email with the new Liberty GWP.

Does anyone have any experience with Omorovicza'sRejuvenating Night Cream? I’m wanting to know about the texture/ does it pile? I’m scared it would be like Kate somervilles recovery cream or farmacy honey halo cream which piles on me but reviews online looks good x

@OvaHere It is a constant stream of new kits and edits at the moment. I have been using Bioeffect so expect my Cult Beauty credit will get spent on that.
I ended up placing a Sephora order in the end for the gift and stocked up on some Tatcha bits. They were also offering a 10ml Dewy cream and 50ml rice cleanser for a £100 spend.

I know. There's loads at the moment. What do you think of the Bioeffect? It's very expensive for 15ml.

@OvaHere My skin seems to love the Bioeffect (unfortunately), I was using it daily but have changed my routine and now do SR Luna one night, Dr Levy pigment drops and Nicinamide the next and then third night good genes and Bioeffect. My skin is glowing and possibly never looked so healthy.

I don’t like the consistency of Luna but I am plugging away with it until its used up, can’t face it every night so I alternate it with EL which I also don’t love 😁 I do love the EGF serum though, so I’ll probably get the edit

@QueefofSheena My skin can be a bit sensitive so I mix 3 drops of Luna into my moisturiser, possibly not as effective but better than nothing 😀

A heads-up to anyone wondering about the Elemis black cherry cleansing balm in the Cult set — I bought one (a small one) hoping for a really fresh cherry scent, but it’s more like one of those full-on Yankee candle fake cherry headache smells. It also made my skin go red 😔

I’d like to try this one but never ordered from them before, has anyone else?

Thanks. I was wanting to try it but maybe not so much now!

Yes. I've had two previous boxes. They are really good value and shipping is fast (about a week) via DHL. They also come really nicely packaged.

The only downside is the website can be shonky, I recall signing up wasn't the easiest process, and the minimum order for free shipping is higher than some other k beauty sites.

IIRC to only order the beauty boxes on their own ($39) the shipping will push the cost up to about $55 which is close to the min order of $60 for free UK shipping so you're better off finding some other stuff you want to buy at the same time.

Remember though $60 is about £45 so it's not as bad as it sounds.

@ElizabethG81 and don't forget to hunt around for coupon codes that work.

@ElizabethG81 Another who has ordered from them, only one of the boxes but concur with everything @OvaHere has said, website is glitchy, great value and shipping is fast.
They are on my potential list for a k-beauty advent calendar this year unless anyone else has some suggestions - Yesstyle seems like far too much hassle for me.

Yes I’m just looking now and the website isn’t the easiest to navigate. Reassuring to know delivery is OK though, just need to see if there’s anything else I can be tempted by 😄

They have Arencia Red Smoothie serum for $1 at the moment.

Thank you. I can’t wait for advent calendar season to start, I came to it very late last year so am looking forward to the full experience this time 😄

I usually add one or two of the other time deals to make up the cost. They tend to be good value.
