Sorry if I've missed anyone

I think I'm suffering from GWP overload!

I've still got so much to use up from my advent calendar, a CB GWP and the Liberty beauty drop, that I just don't need any more.

Plus if truth be told, I'm getting a little fed up of having lots of serums etc to use up that don't seem to doing much for my skin. I'd rather be using something I really liked, but I just can't let anything go to waste and so feel duty-bound to persevere with them!

I think I'll just try to content myself with the quarterly beauty drops now although if a really exceptional GWP came along I'm sure I'll cave

I went for the fenwick fragrance one as I was going to order neom oils anyway, and also signed up for the Liberty beauty drop. I never got an email from them to say it had opened again, just noticed it on the website

John Lewis beauty festival tickets on sale - including some gold tickets left which come with a £300 goodie bag for £45

Thanks for that @Giftwithpurchase I managed to get a ticket for the Murad session. I really like their overnight creams.

You're very welcome @LizzieMacQueen .. I also booked the Murad event as I really like Ruth. Apparently we should receive our goodie bags by 25th April

I got a gold ticket for Kate Somerville. I’m quite looking forward to the webinar & the goody bag.

@Giftwithpurchase - I must have misunderstood, I thought the goody bag was to accompany the event, so in my case it would be filled with Murad items to try during the event. I'm fine if it's not though.

Anyone have a link to the goody bag please?

@LizzieMacQueen I think it's a mix of all the showcased brands at the event - and so we receive it afterwards. Would make sense if it was specific but I suppose that would be too tricky from an admin perspective given it's a virtual event 🤔

@LoveLabradors I can't find details of the goodie bag either I'm afraid - just hoping it's good!

There’s a list of products in the John Lewis beauty festival gift bag goody bag on page 4 of the terms and conditions (not sure if this link will work) johnlewis.scene7.com/is/content/JohnLewis/MY%20JOHN%20LEWIS%20ONLINE%20BEAUTY%20FESTIVAL%20SPRING%202022

I bought a gold ticket for the John Lewis event too, although I'm a little disappointed that there are so many eye products in the goody bag.

I also ordered the Look Fantastic haircare box, which might interest anyone with curly/wavy hair

Well found @FeelinSpendy !!!

Thank you @FeelinSpendy

There's a Harvey Nichols GWP. Launching tomorrow. Min spend is £195.

What do you experts think of this Liberty scent set? £75, supposed value £172. No bag though.

1. Escentric Molecules Molecule 05 Eau de Toilette 30ml
2. Ellis Brooklyn Salt Eau de Parfum Travel Spray 10ml
3. Sana Jardin Tiger By Her Side Eau de Parfum No. 2 10ml
4. D.S. & Durga Debaser Eau de Parfum 10ml
5. Byredo Gypsy Water Roll-On Perfume Oil 7.5ml Contents Housed in a signature purple box, dressed in Liberty Fabrics’ Lee Manor print

Wondering if to request for Mother’s Day.

I’m not helpful with scent, it gives me migraines so I can’t wear it sorry, it does look very nice, but then things from Liberty always do

I went for the Harvey’s Nichols gwp, mainly because I really want to try the revitalash and needed some stuff anyway. It’s a nice mix of things so hopefully will be good

So thanks for pointing that out @LizzieMacQueen

Cult beauty have a new makeup GWP with a refreshingly low spend of £75. www.cultbeauty.co.uk/

It’s not for me because it’s similar to a recent mini GWP from Space NK, which I already have. Nice little set though.

I am slightly tempted because I need a new chantecaille tinted moisturiser, but I think I’ll wait it out for one of the bigger GWPs.

I'm contemplating the LF Easter egg. They currently have a 20% off code.

John Lewis have a beauty of sleep offer on. Spend is £100.

Anyone got any idea where or when the next GWP is likely to be? I need to buy quite a few things as I'm down to my last one, so would easily make a minimum spend - sod's law says I do a normal order and the GWP comes along a week later!

Sorry if it been mentioned and it’s not a premium GWP, but I got a nice little GWP in Boots. I wanted to try the hydraluminous foundation after reading about it on another thread, so I bought one and a tinted moisturiser and got the Radiant Glow Set free. I paid with points too after I managed to get a load after stacking on a deal on an Ester Lauder set before Christmas.

Space NK have a GWP. lowish spend required, £60. Looks pretty decent.

Last year there were quite a few GWPs at the end of April/early May including CB, Space NK and Liberty. It might be worth waiting a couple of weeks to see if there are any this year.

I do wonder whether the Beauty Drop has replaced the Liberty GWPs. So will be interesting to see if they do anything in the next few weeks.
