If you have a Blue Light card you can get an extra 5% on top of the 20% off already offered at Cult.

I got the dermalogica advent calendar last year, it was great. I already use some of the products so kept the smaller ones of those for my travel bag which was handy. It also came in a drawstring material bag that I used to keep all of the products in after they’d been opened.

Also for the wash off cleansers I apply to my face at the basin then get in the shower and wash it off in there. I do also have a microfibre cloth if I’m not getting a shower.

In fact some of them like Elemis balm, you can use as a hydrating face mask if you leave on longer. I always do that if getting in bath. Not a practical every day tip!

I got that Ful comb in another edit and it's a really good comb. I can't find where I've put it which is annoying me.

Boots have launched an led mask. It is £100 but currently at an introductory price online for £50. I have just purchased it using my boots points, so a freebie! Hopefully it works

I just looked it up. Great price but looks to be out of stock now. Guess it went quickly at that price.

Yes I've just looked, it is now out of stock. That was very quick. It just so happened that I came rushing in the front door, and the tv had been left on, and they were showing it, I purchased straight away. Obviously many others did too

Thank you @TrappedPotatoI always forget to stack blue light discounts

CorneliaStreet · 22/08/2025 16:21

The comb is the thing that appeals to me most in that Boots box!

I do love SDJ 71, though it’s definitely for at home use only for me. Very strong for a body mist and smells exactly like freshly baked macadamia nut cookies. I sometimes spray my pillow with it 🙂

Oh I have a nice dilemma. Do I purchase Kilian with the 20% beauty drop discount or do I use the 15% discount, add another item, and get the gwp?

GWP all the way 🤣

ITookYourJoob · 25/08/2025 10:49

That’s a really good deal for Olaplex. I already have most of them but at this price tempted to put them in storage “for later”.

MrsBnow12 · 25/08/2025 11:00

Thanks @IlovePond I have ordered the Olaplex as that is a great set and am also contemplating a DIY advent this year.

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 25/08/2025 17:34

Tell me I don’t need this. I need an intervention.

I’ll try deinfluence you, with postage and tax etc it would probably come to a total of £30ish. Some of the sizes are only deluxe sizes and I would wait for the Boots Skincare and Just My Look advents and look at those, Boots for example is £70 and has a few k-beauty items in the spoilers.

IlovePond · 25/08/2025 18:10

Hi,

There are some good reductions today at all beauty, with certain items being further reduced with code: BLITZ
Some items - not all - are cheaper than the deal being offered by LF.

Not tried that specific Anua product but I do like some of their stuff I've tried. My favourite face mask is an Anua one. I don't think I've tried Beauty Crop. The Glow Recipe toner is a good one. Seems like a nice selection of products overall.
