That’s very true - 5mls a bit stingy.

I'm trying to force myself to be a bit more discerning. If I was going to buy something anyway it's a nice add on but thinking of something to buy because of a bunch of tiny free samples is probably daft. 😁

PomRuns · 09/05/2025 15:19

@OvaHere often more expensive even with the free gift. I will take inspiration from you avd resist ! I’ve got my haul down to less than 100, must stay strong.

@MrsBnow12

I've been waiting for this one. When do you think it will drop? Monday maybe or earlier?

I think it may be Monday or maybe they will surprise us and do it over the weekend.
Like you I have been waiting for this one, will go back to stalking the CB website again.

I'm out a lot of tomorrow so I've moved the app to my home screen and logged in just in case. Saddo! 😂

I've decided I want to try the EGF serum though and I wouldn't pay £135 to try it out.

MrsBnow12 · 09/05/2025 22:04

@OvaHere I am in the process of trying it, my skin loves it however no way I would pay full price for it.
i have saved this link to my favourites so I can just refresh it.

@MrsBnow12

I will do that too!

MrsBnow12 · 09/05/2025 22:22

The Bridal Beauty Company have a summer luxe mystery box being released tomorrow, they have shared on Instagram if will include a Kate Somerville goat milk cleanser, Ouai body Creme and Larry King shampoo. As I use both the KS cleanser and love ouai I may pick this one up.

OvaHere · 09/05/2025 22:27

@MrsBnow12

Did they give a price? They sent me 15% off my next purchase the other day.

OvaHere · 09/05/2025 22:31

Actually it looks to be already available on the site. £75

MrsBnow12 · 09/05/2025 22:39

@OvaHere Thanks for the heads up, a bit pricey and will sleep on it but as I need a Kate Cleanser I may go for it.

Code they sent me was WELCOMEBACK. Worth a try unless they have a way of linking it to a specific account.

I like the KS cleanser but I already have a couple to use up. If it had been a £50 box I would have thought about it.

OvaHere · 09/05/2025 23:34

Nvm discount codes don't work with the charity mystery bags.

MrsBnow12 · 10/05/2025 07:32

@OvaHere Thanks for checking, I have bought it, let’s hope I don’t have buyers regret however I would have bought the cleanser as nearly finished my current one and only have a travel one as a spare.
Now to sit on my hands and wait for the Cult Beauty kit.

OvaHere · 10/05/2025 08:42

Thought I would do a little post about birthday gifts and what to expect as it's my birthday this month so the 'gift' emails have been arriving. Some are more genuine gift than others.

SpaceNK - This was a nice one. You get to add a little bag of samples to your basket. They tell you a list of what could be in the current birthday month gift then you get a surprise selection of those.

I liked this one just because there was no min spend so I bought something for £10 and added the gift. If you're a Deluxe Indulge member you get a full size gift.

In mine was 3 sachets of Oribe Gold Lust shampoo, conditioner & hair oil
Amika hair mask 20ml
Laura Mercer Bath and Body oil 5ml
Dr Dennis Gross Repair serum 7ml
Replica Afternoon Delight 1.5ml
Inkey list oat cleansing balm sachet
Sisley eye contour mask sachet

Sephora - Gold tier. At the beginning of the month they sent me a 15% off code that can be used multiple times through the month. Day before birthday I can add the birthday reward to basket. It appears that May is Color Wow dream coat 50ml which I'm underwhelmed with as I just gave away a full size to a friend. Unless the gift changes I probably won't bother as you have to make a purchase to get it. I would have preferred the Silver tier gift which is 15ml perfume!

Lookfantastic - A surprise birthday gift on the day so watch this space.

Cult Beauty - Gold member. I was a bit disappointed with this one. You get a £25 discount code valid for 14 days after receipt of the email so I've got about a week left. The minimum spend is £100 though and there are exclusions for certain brands, edits etc. There's nothing I currently want or need for £100 plus so I would be spending £75 for the sake of it. If I'm still Gold next year I'll plan better as I didn't realise it would be a high min spend.

Boots - Double points all month. This one is better than it sounds. I've bought a couple of things and stacked other offers. Also bought some work lunches and general chemist bits and pieces. It adds up more than you think.

Allbeauty - They sent a £10 off code at the beginning of the month. No min spend although some exclusions.

Yesstyle - A choice of Free Shipping, 15% off, a sun stick or a keyring.

That's all so far. I guess there will be a few more by the actual date.

ElizabethG81 · 10/05/2025 14:31

The Cult Beauty Go for Glow edit is back in stock if anyone was too slow like me the first time round 😄

HolidayHattie · 10/05/2025 17:00

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 04/05/2025 23:18

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!!!

Is this still available? How do you get it? All I can see is "add 2 to your order."

I would like to try Cairo, Babylon and Alula.

Thank you. That works. Sadly Cairo is sold out so I'm trying Liquid Love instead.
