Thaaaaaaankkkk youuuuuu. This worked. Genius! I got the edit and a £25 item with BDAY15 discount and the £15 voucher 💅

Silly question, is the £15 voucher automatically applied or is it to use against a future purchase? First time using CB app and can’t figure it out! Thanks

Just received a voucher code in my email. The voucher is added to your basket and described as e delivery. I can’tsee an expiry on the voucher email.

Thanks so much @BakeOffRewatch
eta I now need to figure out how to make sure EVRI don’t just dump the parcel so I can refuse delivery!

Ah found my own answer it says “The gift card will be emailed to you after placing your order and will expire 12 months from the date it was issued.”

I caved and made a CB purchase to get voucher. It was stuff I've had in my basket a while and have been thinking about. Bought some shampoo, conditioner and a hair mask.

I don't exactly need them right now but my S&C stash is dwindling much quicker as every time DS comes back from Uni he leaves with a set of my S&Cs (and half the contents of my fridge and food cupboard 😂)

I have one of these in white which I bought from Shein last year, it’s really good. I put my currently in use creams, cleansers, etc and fragrances in the top, then in the drawers I have currently in use eyeshadows & lip products.

I do like the look of the pink one on Amazon though, so I could be tempted have a change 💖

I didn’t realise Amazon Haul was a different part. So am not using Amazon to buy the little storage bubble with drawers.

theres this Spectrum brush set on Debenhams site, are these the brushes people were recommending? I love the colour www.debenhams.com/product/spectrum-10-piece-malachite-set_ydd11456?colour=green

I feel like caving too, only because I could rebuy the tried and trusted edit, return the other one and get the haircare stocking. It has been playing on my mind. I also don't like it that I don't have any presents on their way to me 😔

Ooh those look nice. A bit cheaper on the Spectrum website (only pennies cheaper with delivery unless you spend over £50 and get free delivery).

@IlovePond Thanks for the Clarins info, I purchased the men’s cracker too - it’s about time I bought something for someone else…and a few little freebies for myself as a treat 😅

I've re-purchased the Tried & Trusted edit and added a Kayali 10ml to get the voucher. I'm returning the edit that arrived today.

How come the BDAY15 code works every time? Not that I'm complaining...

🤣 Yes, it's about time I did too! 100% a thoughtful gift, definitely not motivated by the promise of freebies 😈

I've caved and gone with the tried and trusted edit plus the haircare stocking 🤣 I realised that I had £25 in credit, so I've used £15 of it to rebuy.

It's weird, isn't it?! I was expecting to only be able to use the code once 🤔

Hopefully CB are aware of the "every day's a birthday" bonus, and we don't get a Perfume Society type recall of our re-purchased boxes 😀

There’s always a CB code, I don’t think they care. WayneCB often works too.

Spent ages going round the Debenhams website trying to find a makeup brush holder to match, that’s how I found the makeup brushes. The makeup brushes are stocked in lots of places including John Lewis so I held off. I’m creating so much space my dressing table looks bare and I have no stash. Which is great! I love that. But does open up the doors for more edits.

I’m in the market for a liquid metallic eyeshadow. Does anyone have recommendations? I have the Lisa Eldridge one from last years Liberty AC. Was looking at Danessa Myricks Chrone Flakes today which are stunning but even I wouldn’t try for day wear www.cultbeauty.co.uk/p/danessa-myricks-beauty-infinite-chrome-flakes-various-shades/14616559/

@BakeOffRewatch Keep checking the Spectrum website over BF and through until xmas. Last year around this time they slashed prices really low. Like £10-15 for large sets and under £10 for smaller sets.

Actually they bombard me with emails all the time so if I see a mega sale announced I'll post it.

That’s the one I have from Liberty 2024 AC Lisa Eldridge Liquid Lurex Eyeshadow in Emily. I do love it, so I should probably buy a different colour it’s always nice to try new things though

I've been wanting to try these, they're so sparkly 😍

Really nice formula and longevity. Stays where you put it which is rare for metallics. Can apply it and smooth it out for sheer or paint it on and let dry for opaque colour or line. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EDy6RlhNj8c

I should probably join the Lisa Eldridge treats loyalty scheme. But then I like the beauty drops, edits and GWP from Liberty and CB.

These are supposed to be very nice. I've seen good reviews. I think there's one in the Niche Beauty AC I've been coveting. I feel like a tube could be faffy though.

These could be what you are looking for @BakeOffRewatch no idea what they're like but don't imagine anything MAC does is bad.

Speaking of them, I have received a refund for my subscription. But I did actually receive my order
