Sorry to derail the topic - but you ladies seem so into your skincare. Could someone recommend a product for a chin with lumpy acne - skin rocks retinoid? And a good moisturiser to make my skin feel better in general.

@CareerChange24 so sorry you’re dealing with chin acne. Acne around jaw and chin is hormonal so I’d go to your GP. It can be painful so in the meantime you can use a blue and red LED - it kills the bacteria and helps with inflammation. I wouldn’t mess with chin acne with OTC and skincare products as it is deep and can really scar.

You can get lower priced “stick” version LED which are good if you have a spot or two and want to ease them on the go. www.cultbeauty.co.uk/p/solaris-labs-ny-superblue-blemish-stick/14272501/ If you do go for something pricier look for number of LEDs per square inch or cm.

Ah I’m shopping Sunday and I’ve £/0 loyalty to use - hopefully the offer will still be on.

@Arrearing50 o like Tachs products a lot - so I hope so !

I get the same @BakeOffRewatch and @CareerChange24 and i agree re GP. Mine improved with chuckling goat kefir though. I do still get the rare horrible flare up though when stressed, it makes you feel so yuck.

I’ve got an LED mask too which I don’t use enough…

What I wouldn’t do @CareerChange24 is overly go for glycolic products because I went through a phase of that and it damaged my skin barrier and didn’t help.

This is very tempting .. I’ve been very restrained until now ..

I hovering over but buttons - I don’t use the good genes but hopefully could sell on vinted.

Is the Murad retinol eye cream a new one? I’ve just this week finished a bottle of their retinol eye serum and didn’t like it. The consistency was too runny so it moved around and got in my eyes and then stung really badly. Ended up using it as a face retinol serum instead to get it done, but don’t think it really did anything.

I’ve definitely interested in the Tatcha Dewy Milk. Tatcha is so expensive though.

@BlueLimes Have you tried the lactic acid version of Good Genes? I wouldn’t use the glycolic version as I’m a bit scared of glycolic acid but also I’ve just finished a mini of the lactic acid one and it was brilliant. Felt gentle when applied but my skin looked really good the next day whenever I used it.

@CorneliaStreet I’ve tried one that was in a set but I don’t know which one it was. Agree- wish Tatcha was a bit cheaper

Selfridges have a decent beauty sale at the moment. Some quite decent fragrance reductions.

Thanks for this! I’m a BD member but can’t get it for £68.85 when I add it to my basket 🤔 Is it working for you? x

Have you tried going through to checkout ?

No it's changed since yesterday. It's no longer taking the additional 10%.

That was where it reduced it further yesterday but they appear to have changed it so there's no further discount.

Oh that’s a shame - I almost ordered it.

Thanks everyone re the Liberty kit, seems I’m always late to the party🤪x

I'm feeling Iike I should have ordered now even though I didn't especially want it. 😂

Same - obviously why I dithered !! So I’m going to move on and wait for the next kit (or order 3 - more like 4- advent calendars).

I have been away . I haven’t missed the lip edit have I ? Thank it was cult beauty?

No. They've not released yet. Should be soon though. Maybe next week? CB have also announced a Vieve edit so not sure which is coming first.

Look fantastic have 30% Ketestace and other brands, code extra gives another 10% off.

Got my Boots Cosmopolitan box this morning and I love it! I am however flogging all the hair stuff and Billie Eilish perfume on Vinted, as well as the Votary mask from last year's JL as I've accepted I probably won't get round to using it before the next calendar is released!
I thought I'd post here too in case anyone is interested in swaps? Don't all rush at once for the FULL SIZE Elasticizer!

I received the Boots Cosmopolitan box today as well @Roundaboot and I’m really impressed. I was going to give some away to my daughter but I think I will hide it from her and keep it all to myself 😁.
Thanks to the poster who originally mentioned it.

Nice to see everyone getting their Boots box. I think it's still available which surprised me.
