I’m glad the Clarins offer was useful for pressies.

@BakeOffRewatch I like those retro organisers. I toyed with buying one a while back but haven’t got enough table/shelf space. I have fitted my acrylic holders into my make up cupboard instead.

Apologies if this has been mentioned already;

Clarins are doing 11 samples with most purchases today - eight are pre-selected and you can choose the remaining three.

Postage is £2.95 for small orders, but you have to select that, otherwise it defaults to £3.95.

I bought a men’s cracker for £12 even though DH has less than zero interest in skincare, (but maybe it’s time he starts). That seemed to give me another men’s gift of samples for free, plus the 11. The whole lot cost under £15 with postage. I went through TCB, who were offering 6.8% on Clarins, but it doesn’t seem to have tracked.

I do like the Clarins samples - so was pretty happy with my haul.

Thanks so much for this. I've ordered the men's Christmas cracker as well to get the free samples 🎄

Does the £15 voucher offer stack with the edit now? It wasn’t earlier

It was checking throughout the day (left two of the t&t edit in my basket really to see if it sold out) and noticed it working on my lunch break 🤭 fortunately in time to turn away today's delivery so I don't have to pay the return fee

I'll accept this win as recompense for missing out on the Sali edit which sold out much faster than I anticipated 😅

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

Oh that's strange! I've been wearing some of the perfumes over the last couple of days from the boxes. I've not heard from them but my subscription is still active. The next box comes next month and even though I wasn't impressed with the autumn box, I'm actually looking forward to getting the winter one. I'm hoping they feel wintery to me, I didn't feel that the autumn ones were autumnal enough, but maybe I just received it too late in the season to really appreciate it.

Speaking of sparkly eye glitter Space NK have released the party edit which has this sparkly liquid eyeshadow, it’s a coppery bronze and looks lovely RRP £19 www.spacenk.com/uk/makeup/eyes/eyeshadow/fractal-glitter-eye-paint-MUK200057977.html?dwvar_MUK200057977_color=UK200050385&quantity=1

The edit includes something from Kulfi which I’ve heard great things about. Edit is £65 www.spacenk.com/uk/brands/s/space-nk/the-party-edit-UK200057332.html

I have a £5 SNK ndulge voucher to use. No idea what to get!

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 12/11/2025 14:33

I’m really regretting not spending an extra few quid at CB earlier this week for the voucher … can I ask, my edit is due today and I’ve seen some posters have refused delivery … do CB just accept it back and refund you? Wondering as I’m literally £12 away (can easily get an item I’ll use) from qualifying for the voucher 😳

The indecision is crippling!!!

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 12/11/2025 14:52

Actually - I’ve decided to be strong and not reorder as really I’m spending £12ish to gain £15 so I’m not convinced it’s worth the faff.

Although I know I’ll still be umming and ahhing until either the card or edit are sold out!!! 😀

psuedocream3 · 12/11/2025 15:47

Dont forget if spending £50 at CB you can go through vouchercodes to get an additional £10 cashback (think its amazon voucher) along with the VIP shop thing they do.

Has anyone ever contacted Hourglass customer service? I contacted them via their website yesterday and haven't had a response or even a placeholder we've received your enquiry type email.

Yes, I did, 1st to arrange a return and then to chase my refund. The first time they replied within a few hours, the second time, they took just over 24 hours to reply but they'd actioned my refund so I was OK about it.

Guess I'll hang on and see if they respond tomorrow. I ordered a birthday gift and one of the items is wrong.

The Bobbi Brown Ltd edition Alice in Wonderland collection is now available.

I love the shadow palette! And the lipsticks. The lid of the eyeshadow palette is like a snow globe where the characters and hearts move around https://www.instagram.com/stories/bobbibrownuk/3764209002646082009?utm_source=ig_story_item_share Do you know any discounts?

Oh that palette lid is so cute 😍 I can't find a code that works with it, but I think other retailers will get it in stock so I'll wait and see 😊

If you've never ordered from the site before there's the usual 15% first order code when you sign up (appears to be WELCOME15). I'm assuming it works on everything.

Does anyone know, does the CB £15 gift card offer have a minimum spend for using the gift card?

I like the cleansing oil bottle. It looks like it could be glass therefore refillable. The price is a bit steep for cleansing oil though even with a pretty bottle.

It's one of those collections where I just like the packaging and am a bit meh on the products. I felt the same about the Cle de Peau holiday sets. I love those cases but none of the colours spoke to me.

I don't think so - maybe you'd have to spend a min of 15. It's probably a one use code

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about the Cdp sets, they're cute and I did like one of the eye palettes and the look of an highlighter, not the cost though 😳 I'd be buying the palette for my mum, she loves Alice in wonderland and she does like an eyeshadow palette, so it'd be a win win for me 😊

I tried the welcome15 code but it's not working for me 😩 I've never ordered from them before.

You have to sign up to the rewards thingy before it works I think.

It's the top right corner of the website where it says 15% off.
