That’s such good intel @OvaHere thank you - a year old GWP is less appealing. I like the products though

Oh that's interesting. Guess they are offloading old stock at random then.

Anyone planning to buy it might be worth loading and unloading a basket a few times to get a preferred one? Not sure if it works like that.

Interesting! I get that too £145 value and a few more full sizes. The Hello Sunday sun screen balm stick is great doesn’t run and makes eyes sting and easy to reapply. I keep it in my buggy handle bag. So this is a bit more appealing!

released last month originally with £100 in app spend https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJys9z9NqBv

Also if I added more things to my basket it changed the goody bag to the Self Love one, worth £200

I also had a £20 voucher added on my basket

Can’t decide which one to get now 😂

I’ve been holding off on getting the Flight Mode edit but I might get that now with a few other things I need to stock up on.

I just tried again and got the self love goody bag.

How much was your basket worth @OvaHere ? I have “The Tiny Treasures” showing when I add a £485 LED mask.

Yes I added a £400 Bader product to get that one. Added a few products for £156 to get the Self Love. The Self Love originally came with a £15 e voucher, not sure if that still applies?

Anyone wanting an in depth look at the products in each bag go the the Beauty Detective site and search the name of the GWP. It brings up the goody bag, what's in it, the sizes and value and when it was originally released.

I think the self love bag might also contain a gift card?

I love the Flight Mode edit. As much for the bag as anything. It's a really well designed travel bag.

I didn't get a voucher added. Is that an app thing or a certain brand thing?

I'm not actually planning on buying anything so not sure why I'm so invested? 😂

For those of you that are buying I hope you can figure out the best combination of offers.

I think I’m going to go for the Self Love one. I also get a £20 gift card added and I’m in the app.

Don't forget to try the CBWELCOME15 code in case it brings it down further.

Ive been waiting for a GWP as I’ve run out of a few things. I got the the tiny treasures bag, a £20 e-gift card & a Dr Dennis Gross repair & fill serum free. I also added to my points which will give me an extra £20 alongside the gift card so I’m happy.

After a bit of playing around it seems like £120 + gets you the Wake up and Glow bag. £150+ the Self Love bag and £200 + the Tiny Treasures bag.

Using the app maybe adds a £20 voucher

The Self Love bag may come with a £15 e voucher.

Code BDCB stacks with the GWP on the app. I got 20% off (may only work on some brands), £20 voucher and Wake Up and Glow bag, so finally bought a Le Labo perfume I’ve had my eye on for a while.

Code8 has a free lipstick till the end of today.

and first orders get 15% and free gift.

spend over £49 for delivery too!

Latest in Beauty are doing a similar deal to the recent Roccabox choose your own products.

Starts on the 26th. Choose 6 products for £35. There's a lot to choose from (listed in the email they sent out) but the catch is they are grouped into categories and you will get to pick 1 or 2 from each category so you probably can't just pick all the highest value on offer.

Chances are there will be offer codes floating about at launch so if you're interested look out for those before buying.

Usually LIB divide it into 3 drops and don't make you choose from every category, but you can't choose more than one of an individual item. Last year I bought several face serums and didn't bother with any hair, nail or tanning products. They will spread the highest value over the 3 drops. I need to be strong though. I still have very high priced serums from obscure foreign brands left over from last year (and because they are obscure I can't eBay them either).

After long deliberation, my ‘Self Love’ goody bag-enhanced order is in.

Cult are giving good value lately, I feel. I’ve been spending a lot there again after a spell of hardly using them during 2024. Should be back up to Gold shortly, which is nice.

After saying I wasn't going to buy anything I pathetically caved and bought a Byredo perfume I've wanted for a while. Factoring in the discount and the £20 voucher received technically it was just over £100 which is a big discount on Byredo.

I got the Wake up and Glow GWP. Even though it's the lowest value bag it is the one I was most interested in product wise. So pretty happy with that.

Ooh which Byredo did you go for?
Bal D’afrique is my all time favourite.

Mumbai Noise. I had a 10ml of it last year and really like it.
