New thread for beauty bargains, edits, boxes and general chat.

Everyone welcome. 😊

Now we are in advent season there are separate threads running for beauty advent calendar discussion so check those out too.

Email from Boots this morning giving early access to a NARS edit £35. They say it's very limited stock.

Looks like others are coming. I may finally find something to spend my points on.

I’ve just bought a decent looking teen skin kit from LiB. £36 and free postage with the code KITTEEN10. Some good stuff for people making advents for any teenagers they know I reckon.

I didn't get the email and can't find it on the website. Must have only been sent to certain people :(

I got it - wonder if it's people who've signed up to hear about the advent? No other reason I would! I wasn't tempted - but will be interesting to see what other brands they cover.

Not tempted by this one although I did like the bag. There's a good chance I will buy one of them. I have around £40 in points just begging to be used.

Thanks @OvaHere thats really helpful! I’ll keep an eye out for the horse one and see if that’s any better for me

Would you share the link? My daughter would love that!

Here you go!

THE TEEN KIND BEAUTY KIT – Latest in Beauty

I didn’t get the Boots email either! Thank you @OvaHere please keep sharing the edits, Boots stock some great brands. Would definitely be interested in a Ouai and LaNeige edit.

Thanks for me too. This year's light shades are so similar and the pink looks far TOO pink for me. The diffused bronze looks lovely so I may hunt out a single of that.

Please would you mind sharing the link to see if it works? Thank you!

Boots X NARS Beauty Icons Gift Set - Boots

Thank you! Funnily enough once I'm in that page I can see all the other edits which I previously couldn't access!

I can’tsee the other edits, have the other 15 edits in the lead up to Christmas been publicised?

They might not be new ones just ones I couldn't previously see - Autumn Warmers, K Beauty, Beauty Drop, Mens Health and Fenty

Those are older ones.

It sounds like the new edits will be weekly. Maybe every Thursday?

Hi, Harrods H Beauty give 500 Reward points for every five items you recycle.

I took lots of empties today, but it’s a five a day maximum. The lovely and helpful girl tried to convince me to take away the rest and come back another day for more points.

Sadly this wasn’t an option as we live miles from the store and with petrol, time and tolls I really should have just paid the £6.99 postage for the tiny items I was collecting! DH is currently alternating between chewing the steering wheel and growling at me!

I mentioned taking my empties to Harrods in London, but apparently they don’t offer the recycling service.

I always find it really difficult to find edits (not just the Christmas ones) on the Boots website. I wish there was a page that just showed them all.

I type beauty into the search box and it gives you a keyword suggestion of beauty box - clicking on that gives you all of them (as far as I can tell).

This looks good, anyone bought it? I have a soft spot for lancome, my first proper perfume was from them.
Love the pink case as well, I'm talking myself into it, aren't I!

I bought it and a couple others did on the BAC thread. It's not been sent out yet though. I think it's a really good deal - if you love the palette.

Ooh thanks for the fab tip!

Thank you, i'm on the BAC thread but missed it there.
I'm going for it!

I bought the lancome box too, with the trick that @OvaHere discovered. But when I go into my email confirmation, it's not on there, so it appears I've spent £76 on samples. Hopefully that's not the case 🤣
