Sorry if I've missed anyone

Every product really was fab. I bought it for someone else as well and asked them to give me anything they didn’t use - I didn’t get anything!

Regarding sprays can I just say the d'Alba mists, one of which is in the StyleKorean set above are really nice. I've almost got to the end of one and have RP to open. I haven't tried the pinky one pictured but am assuming it's v nice too.

P.S you can just get them on the Amazon UK d'Alba store.

REN Skincare is closing down!

I'm quite surprised by that as I always assumed that REN did very well.

I'm not that surprised. It's a staple recently in a lot of the cheaper beauty boxes and I don't see any new releases, anyone reviewing it or talking about it.

They could have done with a rebrand. I think k beauty probably stole their thunder and they got a bit forgotten about. It's the sort of brand you might buy at Boots except Boots have jumped on k beauty in a big way.

My friend loves the toner so I'm sure the products are nice but clearly not performing enough for Unilever.

I'll admit whenever I've received a REN product I've passed it on because I have more exciting things to try and only one face.

I got both the pink one (that’s in the new Style Korean set) and the gold and I wasn’t keen on the smell of the pink one at first but like both of them now.

Funnily enough there's a full sized REN cleansing gel in the May Look Fantastic box that I've received today

Yes I remember I saw a preview. Mine hasn't arrived yet. Might see if my friend wants it or maybe I should use it just to see if I'm losing something I didn't know I'd lost.

I remember you ordering them. Glad you like them, I always worry when I recommend something that the person will hate it and be like, why did I listen to you! 😂

Just bumping this one. LiB are doing a bank holiday 30% off plus free shipping with code GLOWUP30

Bridal Beauty Company free shipping all weekend with code FREESHIPPING

They currently have a new £50 mystery box.

@OvaHere I think the latest Bridal Beauty isn’t a mystery box and they have listed the contents, which has now saved me £50 as nothing tempting me.

I see. I swear the email said it was a mystery one. Good that you weren't tempted.

Spotted in Aldi this aft dupes for Tatcha - Rice/Matcha cleanser plus Dewy/Water cream. Think they were 4.99 and 6.99.

I’d be very interested in them - love tatcha.

On a similar note, has anyone found a good dupe for Sunday Riley Vitamin C cream?

I haven't but to be fair I haven't really looked either.

@PomRuns

Just spotted this which is a new release from innisfree. No idea how it compares to SR but it is cheaper.

It officially releases either 5th or 6th May I believe so you'll probably be able to get it from UK stockists soon.

I got the Aldi dupe Dyson hairdryer yesterday. £29.99 and works very well.

I had no idea that was a thing. Well done getting one, I'm sure they are selling out fast.

Ah thank you - definitely width a try.

Not sure if it's that exciting to be on here but you can get 3 'free'
samples of perfume (all 1.5ml) from Penhaligons.
They're not entirely free as you are paying p&p which is £5.50 however I've had samples from them before & they are very long lasting/strong especially Halfeti (but I think many perfume lovers say that about Halfeti)

I've got Juniper Sling, Highgrove Bouquet & The Revenge of Lady Constance coming.

I keep telling myself no more perfume whether it be full sizes or samples as I've got way too many!!!

@TracyBeakerSoYeah Thank you for posting this, I have ordered Juniper Sling, Liquid Love and Elizabethan Rose.
I also have far too many samples however I do use them everyday and recycle:me is encouraging me to finish some.

Is this the thread where we discussed the Cult Beauty Look Fantastic scheme for recycling called Re:store? I was wondering how much effort you put into cleaning things like mascara tubes? Do they get rejected?

I’ve just uploaded 10 items. Kicking myself as they even take sample sachets! At £1 per approved item, the Liberty beauty drop contents might pay itself back.

I just started using recycle me last month- is that the same scheme? . That has CB and LF vouchers as rewards. Sachets have to be in groups of five now and you can only do four batches per month- that’s £20 in credit though so brilliant- and it’s making me use up all the minis too.
