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

I used it all the time, makes me look like I had a good sleep 😂

For the Sunday Riley CEO fans, the QVC TSV due on Friday has been released today and is available to order.
Cost is £75.96 with a value of £166.
Contains:

• 1 x NEW C.E.O. Vitamin C Brighten Tighten Body Butter (200ml; full size) - a luscious, triple-butter blend of shea, murumuru and cocoa butters that works to hydrate and soothe dry, thirsty skin with luminous moisture. Glides on effortlessly to reveal a satiny-smooth, glossy finish with no stickiness. Formulated with omega-3 rich oat lipids, stable vitamin C, vitamins B5, B6, E and niacinamide
• 1 x C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum (30ml; full size) - helps to improve the appearance of firmness, lines and uneven skin tone whilst illuminating your complexion with radiance. Rich in antioxidants and a form of vitamin C called THD ascorbate
• 1 x C.E.O. Vitamin C Rich Hydration Cream (50g; full size) - an intensively hydrating cream that targets the look of dullness and uneven skin tone, for a brighter appearance. Formulated with a form of vitamin C called THD ascorbate

Thanks @MrsBnow12 very tempted by this as I love Sunday Riley but I don't need any of it. I have a full size of CEO Vit C already. I like the sound of the body butter but I take forever to get through body products and I already have a few. Love the CEO face creams they do and I did use one up recently but can't justify more moisturisers. I'm also going away next week and QVC postage is fairly slow so I doubt it would arrive in time.

So that's my inner stern talking to. 😂

Just got an email to say the code NSPOUCH brings the Stylevana bag down to £116. (22% off)

Reminder to everyone that the LF/CB recycle scheme T&C's change from next Wed.

I managed to sort out my pile of stuff and submitted 4 lots last week at the end of May and 4 lots this week beginning 1st June. So I've maxed out all the vouchers I can before the scheme changes.

Also out of interest has anyone who is a Level 3 Look Fantastic member ever managed to get one of the free products to review?

Usually I'm far too late seeing the email but today I happened to be in my emails as it came in at 14.01. By 14.04 I was checking out with the code. There were 400 units available and I still got the 'this promotion is not active' message meaning they'd all gone.

It just seems such a rubbish perk if realistically you can never get one.

Am I doing something wrong?

The Sunday Riley looks a really good offer - tempted !

Just had an email to say the Skinceuticals free sample from the OP is on its way. I'd kind of wrote that off so nice surprise.

I'm L3 on Lookfantastic and have never managed to get anything either @OvaHere

At least it's not just me.

Another here who has never got anything from Lookfantastic.

And another edit, this time it’s Selfridges.

Selfridges has released The Golden Glow Beauty Kit (worth £282). Priced at £65.
What’s inside:

• Huda Blush Filter – Peach Sorbet, 4.5ml
• Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30 15ml
• Westman Petite Lit Up Highlight Stick – Nectar, 2.5g
• Flavedo & Albedo High Glow Highlighter – Bronzite, 2.8g
• SDJ Bum Bum Body Firmeza Body Oil 10ml
• Manucurist Green Nail Polish – Coral Reef, 15ml
• Fenty You Mist Setting Spray 100ml
• Refy Tinted Lip Gloss – Guava, 13ml
• Goldfield and Banks Sunset Hour EDP 10ml
• James Read Sunblush Hydrating Tan Mist 100ml
• Laneige Hydro UV Defense EX SPF 50+ 20ml
• Kylie Tinted Butter Balm – She’s Lovely, 2.4g

Thanks @MrsBnow12 the Selfridges edits are always nice if a little on the expensive side compared to Cult Beauty.

@OvaHere The perfume normally swings it for me but happy to pass this one. I did pick up the M&S bag today, mainly for the Floral Street and got the QVC Sunday Riley so need to stop buying although waiting impatiently for the CB travel edit

@MrsBnow12 those are the two I’d pick if I needed anything (absolutely will order!),

I have done my first and most likely only LF recycle deposits and now have 2000 points. Am I correct in understanding the points are valid for 12 months? I can then change them for vouchers when ready to purchase?
Many thanks

@Isabelle70 Thats correct, once you have converted the points to Account Credit you then have 30 days to use them. When checking out it asks if you want to use account credit and how much.

I'll be getting this M&S set too, it looks lovely. In stores only due to their cyber attack problems that have stopped online sales.

I agree about Selfridges box. The perfume is usually make or break. I can't see me passing an M&S before I go away and I don't want one enough to make the drive to another town purposefully.

The QVC offer is really good. Do feedback on the body butter once you've tried it.

@MrsBnow12 thank you. Now what shall I purchase….

The m&s one looks really good, I’ve not bought one of theirs for years as they seemed meh but this is an improvement.

@OvaHere me neither for the level 3 'testers'. Thank you for the reminder to get the last 4 vouchers applied for! So sad to see this end.
Did anyone ever get the level 2 'free beauty box' either? I did message LF about that -you never know- but they just started sending me the level three emails instead as I had kicked over into that level. Hmmm not too impressive but since I only have these levels because of the recycle:me points then I can't really complain 😂

I did I think. It was just one of their past subscription boxes so you didn't miss much.

I'm wondering who actually manages to get these products to test. You don't know when the emails are coming so it's total chance if you see one just as they arrive in the inbox. Unless maybe they go out in batches so even though I got the email at 14.01 some people actually get the email earlier.

I think it would be better if it was run more like a lottery and they just selected at random L3 members to receive something.

I'm also disappointed the scheme is changing. I'd only recently discovered it.
