Beauty chat - freebies/gifts with purchase/offers THREAD THREE

[OvaHere]

Hope nobody minds me setting up a new one as the old one is nearly full.

Everyone welcome to discuss freebies, edits, boxes and general beauty chat.

I'd forgotten about this one. There is a holding page now so I think it will go live either today or tomorrow. Recently quite a few have dropped on a Sunday morning. It's £40 and has 2 options clear/pink lip product.

This one has the Bio effect serum for those who like that.

Don't forget to try codes CBWELCOME15 or BDCB - they haven't worked on the more recent edits but worth a try.

Link to the £30 Elle Backstage Beauty Box here https://www.hearstmagazines.co.uk/elle-beauty-box-8 I really want some £18 slip scrunchies but got to remind myself it’s not a steal for me if I’m paying £12 more 😂. The rose gold Laura Mercier eye shadow stick is a great base.

In rare circumstances, due to brand supply, box contents may vary. Products will be replaced by an item from the same brand and of the same value.

@BakeOffRewatch I bought it mostly for the slip scrunchies - I've wanted some for a while, the LM eyeshadow stick - I've got a mini beige one and they are really easy for work and the CT wand.

I've had the CT wand in two boxes before, one I gave to DD and the other I sold as I didn't think I'd like it. I used the sunset one from the recent CB blush edit and it's gorgeous, probably my favourite item in the edit which I wasn't expecting at all.

I also like the look of the foundation brush. I'm yet to find a foundation brush I really gel with.

Argh, I caved. I’ll use most of it to start off DD’s advent calendar.

I thought we were meant to be clearing the way for our advent calendars @OvaHere 😂Having a stash or a backlog stresses me out but yeah I’d make good use of blush and highlighter. Still have my Liberty AC ones though and the Rodial highlighter from Vogue AC that I bought on Vinted

@bakeoffrewatch you can have my hair scrunchies when they come.

I've now seen the OK box and might buy that as well. I like the look of the mud mask.

Ahh i do love Sturm that’s such a bargain re Elle - but I have toooooo many things to use up before advent season is upon us - and the cyber November deals…

That’s me too! I sorted out my stash last and have 17 serums and treatments to use. So although I am really tempted I’m not going to cave!!

Same - too many exciting edits…I’ve got two months to clear down, we can do this!

I know 😳

Been lurking here but thanks for the Elle box, have purchased for ds gf as it looks lovely!

I went to the NEW Trinny section in Jarrold’s and bought a couple of things - some Elevator for my neck and a BFF moisturiser foundation thing.

Qualified for the FREE GIFT!!

MORE STUFF!!

An eye2eye, lip2cheek, lip glow and an illuminator.

I’m so pleased, I thought it would have sold out during the week!

That’s my intention too; not sure if I will keep to it 😂

We’ve just had a new Space NK open in our town which I was so excited to mooch about. Just has a wander and while it was all very lovely shiney new I did find myself disappointed not to see any free gifts with products, GWP that kind of thing! I think this age of calendars, edits and beauty boxes (especially Liberty beauty drop boxes when I did that) have spoilt me a little and warped my value expectations!

hence m now off to buy that Elle box instead ☺️

This is now available, it is £45; if you are a subscriber you get £5 off and code BDLF is also working and taking another 21% off (£9) so brings it down to £30.

I’ve just ordered the LF K beauty box. I need more skincare like I need a hole in the head but at that price with the discount, it was just too good to resist!

Code FLASH also works to take it down further. Not further than BDLF but either work.

I was intending on buying a k-beauty advent but may use this as a base for a DIY one as am sure it isn’t the last k-beauty edit we see this year.

I also don’t need any skincare or beauty products but can’t resist a bargain.

I definitely don't need it, I have some of the box already. My excuse is I'm stress buying. My elderly DF is very poorly in hospital so I'm staying at his house at the min. I don't have all my usual stuff with me as it was a short notice dash. I tried to change the address to have it sent here but I've just checked the order and it's defaulted to my home address so that's annoying. I was thinking having some new stuff to play with would keep me occupied outside of visiting.

@OvaHere I am so sorry to hear about your DF, hopefully he is getting the care he needs and make sure you look after yourself.
What a pain the address reverted back to your home as no doubt new things to play with would have been a distraction.
Most of things in the edit are new to me so looking forward to adding some of them into my routine.

@MrsBnow12 technically most are new to me. I do have the Laneige mask and the Anua toner at home but haven't used either yet. The original BoJ sunscreen is a favourite but I haven't tried this version which I think is a bit lighter. DS uses the pimple patches so he will be pleased to have some more. I really like the Biodance mask but think I have finished them all now.

Thanks for the well wishes. Hopefully DF will rally round. It's hard to know at his age, he's doing okay for now but it fluctuates day to day.

Sissy to hear @OvaHere you probably need another treat to help distract.

Thanks for the heads up on the LF K Beauty box. Ordered yesterday and it’s already arrived! Looks amazing 😍

It looks like the LF K beauty box is £45 again sadly, or maybe it's just me who can't get either code to work?

Unfortunately I think the extra discount yesterday was a mistake on their part. Only the subscriber £5 discount works now.
