Agreed @OvaHere that looks brilliant.

Still has the infamous Elasticizer but a FULL SIZE one! That is a treat. 😂

Ooh that looks really good!! I think it’s going to be one that tempts me to stray from my low spend path 😳😂

Next has added another two boxes. Fathers Day grooming one and a Pride one. Neither are particularly exciting IMO although the Pride one has nice colours.

M&S summer beauty bag comes out 5th June www.instagram.com/reel/DKMToaLMe7d/ Can see Floral Street Rhubarb, REN Ever calm, Estée Lauder. No price, last year’s was £30 with £35 min spend on clothing.

The Boots £55 and the M&S one are more what I was hoping for from Cult Beauty.

Will be getting the M&S one and the Boots one. They are both excellent value and products I will easily use or pass on. Thank you for the alerts.

Apart from the Next box, have I missed any fragrance sets recently? It seems a long time since anyone has had one.

M&S are still not taking online orders. I wonder if it will be back online before the 5th? I don't have an M&S close by anymore so I can't see me getting to a store for this one before I go on holiday.

I don't think so. In previous years Liberty have done a good scent kit in June so I'm hoping they will again.

Ooh thank you. I thought I remembered a Liberty kit last summer. I’ll keep an eye out for emails.

I think I will get the Boots one if I can although I think it will sell fast.

Again though I'm frustrated it's just slightly more than my Advantage Points total. I've hit the £40 mark but still not enough. I wish you could part pay with points.

Boots are really knocking it out of the park this year for their boxes (unfortunately for my bank balance) . Not beauty related but I got the Fuel and Recover box (see attached link) and it is amazing value if you are into fitness and protein/hydration supplements or for a present for someone who is
Fuel and Recover Box

I got that one too. Fantastic value as a few of us in the house use these products.

I agree. I've got £47 worth of points at the moment - very annoying! I will see if I can do a couple of recycling drops before the box is released to get my balance to £55. It's a cracking box, IMHO. I won't use any of the hair stuff but should be able to sell it on, and the rest of the stuff looks amazing. I've been wanting to try the Laneige mask and Elemis balm, and that Fenty lip stuff is just the perfect colour for me.

I think it will release quickly @Roundaboot I might be wrong but I don't think there's usually a lot of time between announcement and release for Boots boxes - could be as soon as tomorrow or the weekend.

Having just said this I've noticed on the page it says 'come back on the 26th June' so is it not releasing until then? Seems a long wait.

Ah, I think I conflated the posts on the Boots and M&S boxes and thought it was being released on 5 June. It would be fab if it was released in later June - I'd definitely have time to bank more points.

LF have released The Subscriber Edit as an extra for monthly Beauty Box subscribers. £40

Hi everyone 😊
Are there any ladies from Northern Ireland here?
I have tried placing a perfume order with Harrods today, which would have qualified for GWP, but they would not ship to NI 😤😤😤 I am now in full panic mode that I will not be able to buy their advent/perfumes calendar 😭😭😭 they currently ship with DHL and DPD. I bought their 12 days of fragrance last year, but cannot remember who they shipped with. Have the rules changed recently?

@HolaLolla it may be worth asking on the Scent of the Day thread, am sure a few people are based in Ireland/N Ireland

Thank you, I will if I can find the thread, I am usually a lurker, not a poster and don’t follow any other threads 🙈🙈

@HolaLolla I would probably just phone Harrods CS and ask them directly. At least then you'll know.

If they're not going to ship to NI this year do you have any friends or family in the UK who would receive it for you then post it on? If not I believe there are forwarding services who will do this sort of thing at a cost but I don't have personal experience of using such a service so I don't know how difficult or expensive it would be.

Hello @HolaLolla I live somewhere that also has hit and miss delivery coverage but I have found that if the app or site allows it, change the delivery country from NI etc to UK but keep your address the same. This sometimes sorts it and then the item is delivered as normal. Doesn't always work but worth a try if all else fails. Good luck with your call to Harrods- hopefully my 'fix' won't be necessary!
