Also I re read the blurb and I think the Night Cream is also the PCMC range.

Just spotted in the leaflet there's also going to be a Grooming Kit and a supersize Cleansing balm sold as separate items.

I watched Keeley’s live unboxing last night for the Elemis TSV. They are full size products. I’ll be stocking up.
They are going to be doing a supersize cleansing balm offer for £63 from Saturday evening.
And the mens, IIRC, is approx £43 (but I could have made that up!)

What on earth is wrong with me?! I’d talked myself out of the JL refined luxury box so stopped stalking it waiting for restock. I’ve just randomly gone on the website and thought I’d have a look at what other offerings they have, noticed it’s back in stock and purchased it in 0.2 seconds! I DO NOT need it, I only just opened up my other 2 JL boxes last night! 🫠

🤣🤣 Back in shopaholic mode 😍 It is a really nice box though, I'm pleased with mine and I'm sure it'll slot nicely in next to those other 2 boxes 😊

Is there a link for this anywhere do you know please? ☺️ I might be tempted by this deal

Elemis TSV unboxing

This is the one I watched 😊

I’ve just realised that’s her brief of the TSV boxes, if you go onto her page it shows last nights live clip which gives details of everything including the supersize cleansing balm and the men’s TSV

I bought a Morphe 6 pan eye palette ( Rich Glitch) while in Superdrug yesterday, after seeing the Outer Spice one in the Selfrdiges Advent. It's really good and well pigmented, although I used a bit too much of the sparkly one and my face was covered in glitter for the rest of the day! I'll use less next time.

Next have added some more boxes for £20 each (I double checked this time 😊) I've purchased this one for a stocking filler for Dsis as she travels a lot.

You get either the Pai, Rosehip Overnight Face Oil (travel size) or the Pai, The Impossible Glow Drops (travel size)

BTW, I downloaded the Emma money management app which told me that I spend more at Next than most people 😅

@LoveLabradors @Seahorses12 Oh wow, these are lovely! I need a new eye shadow palette, but having looked at these I think I’ll end up with at least 3! 😅

@Thelifeofawife - Boots and Superdrug both stock morphe and it’s well worth having a look at and to swatch colours!
My other reasonably priced beauty favourites of the last few months are Zoeva velvet love eyeliners. The colours are gorgeous! The don’t budge at all. They often have great discount offers on if you buy three, plus a free sharpener and a free gift. The metallic sapphire and emerald are gorgeous as is the khaki. And the duo chrome azure.

These sound lovely! I’ll be out shopping over the weekend so I’ll take a look, thank you 🤩

I have the outer spice as it’s in my Selfridges advent .i was thinking of gifting it as I have enough eyeshadows ! By the way beware if you have Selfridges .The Ormande Jayne perfume is not a spray. I pulled the lid of and it spilled all over me . I hate those type of perfume bottles.

That is so disappointing. Couldn’t hurt to contact Selfridges CS to express your disappointment. I feel that bottles like this really limit who can use them.
I am going to have to decant some of my new ones as I’ve already got a couple that I love but have barely used because the bottles are so fiddly and I either spill or put the smallest amount on being over cautious.

I just pass on or sell the little dabber bottles now regardless of whether I like the scent. It would have to be a very special one for me to keep it as I hate them.

Look Fantastic have 25% off at the moment, but this declines every hour.

I just bought 2 of the morphe blush palettes 😊 the hourglass powder dupe is unfortunately not in it so I've left that until that's included in a deal. I went through TCB too 🤑

Also Cult Beauty has 20% off with the code BOO 👻
Edited to add: doesn't work with the advent calendars but does work with some of the holiday sets. Hopefully the stockings get released today and it works on them 🤞🪄💫

I looked last night at jl. Been tempted for a while. 🤣 2 of the boxes had been reduced by 20% so ofcourse was sensible and added 1 to my basket. Had trinny spf moisturiser in. Im now tempted to get another. 🙄
Had to spend an extra tenner for free postage so bought the othe box with 20% off. Had £30 credit voucher and didn't want to forget about it. 🤣♥️

I end up with it all over my fingers. 🙄

I tried the Rose and Mimosa Elemis scent in the little body cream sample they sent me. It's a very light sweet scent, barely there to be honest. Even if you don't like rose scents very much I imagine it would be bearable.

I'm toying with the very brave and novel idea of NOT buying the Elemis gift set despite them being very good value. I'm meh over the two body products and I don't need any more face cream (possibly ever...😂).

I may get the supersize cleansing balm as I use balms up pretty quickly. Probably at least one a month or less.

Yes I noticed some boxes have been reduced, luckily they weren’t the ones I’d already purchased.
I think the boxes are amazing value, with a full size face cream alone that’s nearly the price of a box.

It sounds like you really had no choice but to get 2 boxes, who wants to pay for postage, and with a credit voucher it makes one of the boxes practically free 😁

I received this sample this morning. I was feeling very sorry for myself yesterday as so many people had gotten one but I didn’t 😅
I’m excited to try the rose as this is the one I was considering (as well as the frangipani). But I don’t like their rose balm, it reminds me of a product my grandma used, and whilst she always smelled lovely, it just put me off. it smells too strong.
If the rose & mimosa is more subtle then I’ll probably go for that

Edit: just to say that, like you, I probably don’t need any more creams! I’ve got 2 to use up, plus what’s in my BACs, 2 Murad from the recent deal, and a Murad & Medik8 from the JL boxes! But I do go through them quickly and I love the Elemis ones

It's quite a candy smelling rose but very subtle also. By the time I'd rubbed it in I couldn't really smell it much at all. It was a small sachet though.
