[virgocatlover]

Only a few days to go until the doors open.

Please share thoughts, discussions and any last minute discounts!

I was about to suggest La Roche Posay. I get sensitive eyes (I know not exactly the same) but I seem to cope well with LRP stuff

Ha ha - thank you! To be fair, I don't think that I've ever seen a snake this colour! 😄

Hi, Beauty Box and one year’s worth of the digital magazine, (with no subscription), for £60 via MSE:

What do we think of Space NK's best of 2024 edit?

Not enough in there that takes my fancy. Wonder why they are bringing this out now, in peak AC season. Looks like they are just trying to get rid of old unwanted stuff.

I think it's quite good but I have too many similar products and dupes for it to be worth it to me. It's shame because I have £10 in points.

I already have a similar MILK blush
I have that exact Summer Fridays lip gloss (It's very nice btw)
I have the SDJ body cream
I have an UV sunscreen, not that exact one but similar.
I have the same Olaplex mini

I did wonder this. I quite like the curation but it's priced a bit high. On Cult Beauty I feel this would be a maximum of £70 and would probably have 10% off code at some point if it didn't sell out in the first week or so.

I am usually straight in for something like this but I'm not interested enough in the majority of it. There are no 'wow' products leading it IMO. It's not woken the voice in my head that starts to reason the value of such collections. I'm happy enough to plod along with my ACs and some of the Christmas gifts they have (had) on offer. I'm also hopeful for the boxing day sale!

I bought this on Sunday when there was an extra 10% off. Looks to be out of stock now.

Slight impulse purchase but I bought mainly for the Medik8 which I use anyway and my current bottle will be empty by the end of the month.

Was also keen to try the Clé de Peau Beauté Eye Contour Cream. I love a posh eye cream, I know it's only 2ml but small amounts of eye cream actually last quite well.

Have never tried anything from Caudalie either. The other stuff I'll probably sell or pass on.

I might be late on this one but only just saw 50% off mystery boxes from Charlotte Tilbury.
I'm not a fan but I know lots of people appreciate the products and these sets are very popular.

@OvaHere that's a very nice set.
Cle de Peau is meant to be one of these amazing brands but I've never had the chance to try anything.
You are right, some of these small pots and tubes last a surprisingly long time.
Caudalie is a really lovely brand but probably not as effective as Lierac, or even Nuxe if we were to compare with other French labels.

@MrsBnow12 you've done really well with the BB mystery boxes. I got the Black Friday version as well and was a bit annoyed at missing out on the £10 off offer. On e v e r y t h i n g - this never happened before!
I'm now waiting to see if they bring out a 12 days of Christmas offering because they mentioned it on Instagram a while back. Maybe a difference offer (discount) each day or maybe a mystery box with 12 items. Let's wait and see. Although I really don't want to spend any more money, especially as I've been so good.

It has a black eye pencil. Aaaaaaargh!

Eagerly awaiting my reduced VB kajal in Cocoa to be delivered.

I think Cocoa is the one I have. I wore it today. It makes eyeliner easy, I've never been skilled with eyeliner and I'm even worse now my eyesight isn't what it was.

Liberty 12 day jewellery AC has £100 off but still.not tempted at £595. Someone on this board said they got it for bargain price in the sale last year so I.wonder what its final sale price will be this year.

I've kept checking that periodically. It would have to be very reduced though for me to consider it.

The wine and fizz calendars have been reduced in John Lewis

It went down to about £145 one January a couple of years ago @PlumRed and stupidly I didn’t get it 🙀

My discounted Lumene calendar arrived today, impressive turnaround for free shipping.

Packaging is lovely and I was very pleasantly surprised that when I ACTUALLY READ WHAT THE CONTENTS WERE (after totally impulse clicking!) realised there are some gorgeous products and I'll pretty much use the lot.

I've had Lumene before but actually this one looks better. And I'm so chuffed at the price. Now to put it away until next year. Must. Resist. Opening.

Thanks for the heads up on this one at the weekend 😘

That's the sort of price reduction I have in mind. Worth looking out for then.

Bargain set of 3 Spectrum Brush sets 86% off now 14.99 for all three.

Great for gifts and stocking fillers.

I have some of the brushes and they are nice.

hahahaa Yep! Had them in my basket for weeks and immediately bought the wine calendar yesterday when they dropped the price. If fizz drops anymore, will buy one. I find the bottle sizes come in handy and a more useful size for our house

I'm tempted by the sock calendar, but not st ,£240!

What are they made of, unicorn hair?

I’ve found the wine calendar now 🙈Thanks @MidnightMeltdown
