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

[OvaHere]

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.

That’s a nice set from Jarrolds.

There's a Bobbi Brown x Alice in Wonderland collection coming. I don't usually like gimmicky packaging but for some reason really like this.

That palette looks lovely! But I just got an email saying my Lancôme box was shipped...

Oh wow! What a lovely collection. My mum loves alice in wonderland so this could be her Christmas present sorted ✅

Lucky Mum!

Longtime lurker but just to say I did get the Lancôme box and just opened it.

I’m usually a multi brand box/GWP/AC but I am really pleased with it. I’ve liked the mascara and skincare before but was too £££ to repurchase for me. This was a steal I think!

The juicy tube is not my colour but otherwise 😍. I’m only letting myself open the free samples this week….

Ooh nice. I love that everyone is enjoying their bargain Lancome boxes. Estee Lauder released their equivalent this week. It's not as good IMO and you have to make a pre-spend of £50 to purchase it for £90.

Lancome for the win this year.

Caved and ordered the Lancome set. I thought the Estee Lauder one looked quite good but I have some of the products already. They did a really good offer over summer on their Advanced Night Repair stuff and it lasts forever.

I do not know where I'm going to put the Lancome products, my dressing table is half covered already.

Elle Beauty Box- just opened the 4am eye mask to take on the flight with me only to realise it’s empty, silly of me not checking earlier.

Oh that's a shame.

@Beautydiva - forgive me if I’m stating the obvious, but have you looked at the underside of the lid? That’s where mine were stuck.

Thanks, just checked it again and it isn’t there.

That’s a shame @Beautydiva - if it makes you feel any better, to me they just looked like hard plastic things that I wouldn’t put anywhere near my eyes. Tbf, some people love them.

Sorry yours were missing, though.

Just went to SpaceNK and they did NOT HAVE the new Hourglass palettes. Dammit. I did try the two bronzers I’m tempted by but find Hourglass shop testers next to useless usually as the light never does much to get the tones out.

Oh no. I did read somewhere they will be in Selfridges from next week sometime so maybe other retailers too. HN usually have them as well as SNK.

Thanks @IlovePond it made me feel better :)

There’s usually one palette that sells out straight away though - not sure which it will be this year.

Swan I think.

QVC have some reductions at the moment. One of the things I spotted was the Eborian BB Cream for £8.76 down from £35 if anyone likes that.

Also 3 Elemis sets with a big reduction.

There's also an Elemis TSV though I guess there's only a few hours left on this offer if it's today only.

Yeah, I posted that in the BAC thread. Popped in yesterday and asked. But caved and bought online with a 10% discount code. Horse case with Fox palette.

Thanks I knew I'd read it somewhere. Hope you love it. I caved and bought the Swan palette in the Deer case and a brush. Despite saying I wasn't going to! It's been put away for under the Xmas tree along with my Lancome case and the perfume I bought with Liberty credit...it's only September. 😳

I have the swan palette and brush for my DIY advent, will be Day 25.
Was so tempted to use it, it is so gorgeous but have put it with all my other items for my advent.

Is your christmas tree up already? 😱
