@OvaHere you are an angel! I can't tell you how much I appreciate this thread.
I'm recovering from a long illness and these beauty boxes are amazing. I wouldn't have the time or energy or knowledge to know how to find them so I just want you to know how much I appreciate you and everyone else who contributes.

Aww thank you. I hope you are on the mend now. I love sharing them and seeing what other people enjoy. I also appreciate everyone who contributes too. Bargain hunting is definitely a team sport!

Hi @Wallasey123 glad you made it over here.

A few here bought the Boots box this morning. It was announced a while ago and has taken ages to drop. It's a really nice one. Definitely worth it.

I didn't buy it because I'm trying to be good before advent calendar season gets into full swing. Embarrassingly I already have quite a number of products in the box already.

Talking of advent calendars, if you're a fan of those too check out this thread. The Style and Beauty board has them every year and they usually run to around 5 or 6 threads by the time December arrives.

Thank you @OvaHere for moving me away from the path of perdition. It makes sense what you are saying about doctors selling skincare which cannot possibly replace in-salon treatments to the detriment of their core business.
It is really bad for businesses to jump on the wagon of potential side effects when loosing weight too fast, just to grab money from people.
I really need to stop going on Instagram, I can't even use it properly. But they keep showing me amazing videos of wildlife and dogs, even DH said I probably watch too many dogs videos on there. And then random magical skincare pops up! I'm being brainwashed and need to close that account.
I survived the TikTok experiment with the LiB AC, not sure how because that app is utter madness on steroids and have closed that account now.

@Arrearing50 that is true, nothing topical truly reverses sagging.
I do like a jade roller and gua sha massage when I have the time.
I'm not fully into face yoga because I never had the patience to investigate it properly. I use a limited repertoire of facial massage I picked up from my grandmother and facial treatments over the years. I do however use the Foreo Bear device regularly and it does work. But it needs using all the time. It is subtle but I can see it sort of adjusts all contours temporarily. I use it in the hope of preventing (read delaying) slackening of my jawline.
Ziip Halo is meant to be very good as well but despite owning one, I haven't used it yet as it seems to be more time consuming than Foreo Bear.
Nuxe used to do an absolute brilliant lift mask, now discontinued, and there are a few other masks around great for when you need that subtle refining for a short time.

Arrearing50 · 26/06/2025 20:41

Good to know re foreo bear - my insta is 90 percent cat videos and 10 percent magic potions for fixing peri menopause…so dangerous all this targeted marketing.

Branster · 26/06/2025 20:42

I struggled to add 6 products to the LiB CEW box and didn't order in the end, even with the Pro discount it didn't capture my interest enough. And I was ready for 8AM but couldn't gather 6 items I really wanted to use.
I think the boxes posted here today are brilliant value and much more useful.

Branster · 26/06/2025 20:45

@Arrearing50 😂 I sometimes get cats and dogs videos and those cats win every single time: they look better, they move better, they put dogs in their place. Not flattering for dogs. Dogs should not be filmed with cats, it doesn't do them any favours in the looks and brain department.

Arrearing50 · 26/06/2025 20:52

My old cat was certainly the boss of old dog! He never ever challenged her! It’s such an entertaining waste of time - I wish I could get rid of the marketing though.

OvaHere · 26/06/2025 20:58

@Branster I did build a LiB box at 8am just to try it out but all of the things I was vaguely interested in were small travel sizes or in the drops for other days. If there is enough someone wants in the full sizes then it's probably worth the money. I checked back a couple of hours later and a lot of the more expensive items seemed to have gone so I guess they did sell quite a bit.

Any ideas on the date of release for this? I’ll get this for the EGF. CB have had some impressive well priced edits this year. Hope the advent is good this year. I have my recycle me credit ready to offset against it.

OvaHere · 26/06/2025 23:12

@Addictedtobeauty no sorry, just the usual coming soon. The blush and lip edits were announced first but I think we've had edits before not arrive in order.

They did a CB x Jamie Genevieve 2024 edit which came out in late June last year so possibly this will drop first.

MrsBnow12 · 27/06/2025 08:36

I managed to get the 6 items I wanted from LIB this morning, I was ready at 8am as can see two of them are gone already - Murad and Kate Somerville.
My thanks also go to @OvaHere for the fabulous job they do in keeping us updated on all the deals around.

OvaHere · 27/06/2025 11:15

@MrsBnow12 I was tempted this morning by the Murad and the Dr Idriss serum but I'm trying really hard to be good. I'd be interested in feedback on the Murad eye cream once you've got round to trying it.

Having said that I did succumb to the StyleKorean VT x James Walsh box from earlier this week. I quite like the reedle shot, the Black Truffle one is quite expensive and often out of stock so I've not been able to get one before now.

Overall I've been restrained. Yesterday I put the new Tatcha Dewy Milk in my SpaceNK basket twice and both times talked myself off the ledge and removed it. 😂Is anyone planning to try this? I could see it being in the Advent Calendar this year which is the reasoning I used to talk myself out of it!

OP posts:
MrsBnow12 · 27/06/2025 11:19

@OvaHere I picked up the Dr Idriss as want to try that, am currently using a Dr Levy from a CB edit. I will let you know re the Murad, hoping it isn’t amazing as the normal price is too spendy for me.
I am trying to be restrained as well as know advents are just around the corner.
I am also tempted by the new Tatcha and have £15 in rewards that need to be used but am hanging on as agree I think it would be in advents as quite often a Tatcha product is in a few of them.

tatcha also features heavily in space gift sets too around Xmas - get to the end of the summer and the shops will all be thinking Christmas.

OvaHere · 27/06/2025 11:25

@MrsBnow12 Agree the price of the Murad eye cream is a bit high and I'm a bit dubious of the 'lifting' claims. Nice if it was true but if not there are much cheaper retinol eye creams on the market.

Look Fantastic have up to 60% of selected Zelens products. The Zelens Power B Revitalising and Clearing Serum 30ml is down from £90 to £36. I'm sure this one has been in a few Liberty boxes/edits.

There's a free mystery gift at Sephora when you spend £80 with code APPGIFT (assume this is app only). Word of caution, I've done the Sephora mystery gift before, I can't remember what I got but I know was very underwhelmed.
