Stacking discounts on CB: beauty-detective.com/deals-of-the-day-19-06-25/. I'm all in for Medik8!

MrsBnow12 · 19/06/2025 21:34

@JulyM85 Thanks, have been wanting to try the new Guava Summer Fridays lip balm so have ordered that.

OvaHere · 19/06/2025 21:46

Thanks @JulyM85 I bought some more of the new Medik8 serum I've been using on holiday. These stacked discounts took it down to almost half price.

I grabbed two Crystal Retinal 6 and now I’m broke

I always miss these stacked discount incidents! 🥲

ETA actually it is still working! I just had the wrong things in my basket 📣

Back to TBBC saga 🙈🙈 their founder has emailed me to say they are saddened to read my review and that they do not delete negative reviews… a week or so later my review is no longer visible 😂😂😂 this is actually making me want to post a Trustpilot review for them 😂

Oooh I love Medik8 so many of their products are great. Love the new peptide, on the third bottle…

I am meant to be on a no buy until advents but do like the look of the blush edit!

Growlybear83 · 20/06/2025 16:24

@HolaLolla I think you should leave a Trustpilot review and I might do the same. I’m still angry that BBC deleted two of my negative reviews a few months ago.

Doubleraspberry · 20/06/2025 17:02

I picked up an M&S Beauty Bag today. I like the Floral Street perfume, will use the mascara, and the rest can be split between me and DDs. They’d just had their last store delivery of them.

I'm going to struggle not to buy this one. I'm a sucker for a blush colour but I really really don't need any more. I just managed to talk myself out of either a Dior/Chanel/CT blush in duty free earlier. I was pleased with my willpower and now I'm home and confronted with this! 😁😬

I was coveting that little green Simihaze lip thing a while ago but couldn’t justify the speculative spend, so I’m right in the target for the lip edit.

See it as a reward from fate for resisting earlier 😉

I don’t know what I’d do with 5 blushes or 5 lip products! My line up of stuff to be used from advent and beauty kits already stresses me out

Housewife2010 · 20/06/2025 19:06

Those sets are lovely. I wonder if they will do their usual £10 off if you buy both sets? Although there is a 10% off code that tends to work with the new sets which wouldn't be far off. I don't need anything at all but I do love lip products.

That's one way of looking at it! Lol

I'm going to try and resist with all my might because one of my recent resolutions has been no more blush especially creams or lip tints/glosses. I've ended up with quite a few and realistically they won't last. I'm less bothered about powder products (although def don't need those either) but all these cream and liquid blushes will have a short life.

A quick de influence for anyone else who finds themselves in this boat with me. I tried on the new Charlotte Tilbury Unreal blush today in both peach and rosy. Despite influencers and ads making it look great I definitely didn't feel they were anything special in the harsh lighting of duty free and it's a lot of product to get through in the space of 12 months at the most. Ditto the new Dior cream blush sticks. I thought these were nicer than CT but same issues apply. I think the Dior powder blushes were the best of the three but not better than the YSL one I already own in a very similar shade.

A little pro influence just to balance things out I wore the new Elf tint with spf every evening whilst away and I think it's a great skin tint for £18. Goes on very easily, blends nicely and has decent coverage for a tint.

@OvaHere I really don’t need any of the blushes either as do love the Westman Atelier ones and I bought the new Dior blush stick and powder in Toffee and love them. I also have Candy but Toffee is a definite favourite and love it for those no make up look days.

They didn't have the toffee shade to try but I might have been swayed by that one as it's quite an unusual colour. I do have an RMS powder blush in shade crystal slipper which is beautiful for no make up looks. I took this one away with me and wore it a lot. I need to remind myself of all these facts when I feel the lure...

Just wanted to mention the Ultrasun Which findings in case anyone hasn’t seen this yet, as Ultrasun is often in beauty boxes.

Which found the Ultrasun Family SPF cream failed their tests. I don’t know if this means other Ultrasun products are also rubbish but I’m certainly not going to risk using them anymore.

Ultrasun’s response to the Which report has been pretty shoddy too, which doesn’t inspire confidence.

@PlipPlopPlipPlop there is a thread on this under General Health topic (I don't know how to link but the title is Ultrasun 30). It appears that the 50+ versions passed the test.

I’ve just tried the same thing and I get the Wake up and Glow kit! It must be doing it randomly?
