@BakeOffRewatch @JoRaRaRa Stop mentioning more products, I have no willpower! 😅
I’ve just had a look online and the chameleon chaos is gorgeous! I also like the Kensington plum. I’m usually more of a pink kinda girl but that pink is a little too much for me I think, I can’t see it suiting me at all.

It’s very subtle @Thelifeofawife . Not what you want to hear sorry. Looks beautiful in the tube. Pink doesn’t usually suit me at all.

Also tbf it was @OvaHere who started the sequin lip gloss trend

Yeah, I mean on liberty's website. I've been checking theirs and SNK's as I have credit with both of them but the individuals aren't there. Probably will be once I've bought them all 😂

Oops sorry 🤐 aren't they all beautiful though?! 😍 I now feel the need to buy the rest of them!

As @BakeOffRewatch says the pink especially isn't as bold as on the promo photo. I've watched a few review videos and I might have gone for that one too if I'd known that. I really don't need more than one though...I don't even need the one tbh.

You're all welcome. 😂

Are there any review videos for the Kensington plum? Are they on YouTube?

Yes there's a few people trying the various sets out.

I’ve got all three of them - what do you want to see? There’s a few reels on Instagram, Lisa Eldridge account shared on stories like this one, they’re pinned in the holiday 2025 highlight www.instagram.com/reel/DPvYI1fDI7g

This one has all three colours @Thelifeofawife @JoRaRaRa www.instagram.com/reel/DPy2PWYCGaR

I just like watching them, I don't know why 🤣 maybe I just want convincing to buy more 🤣

Now I want them too 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

Tbh they are quite reasonable at £20 if you can get one in a store with no postage cost, when I say reasonable I mean compared to Dior sparkly gloss etc. Especially if you just choose just the one you like best.

@BakeOffRewatch @OvaHere after watching the one of all 3, they are much lighter than on the LE website.
The chameleon chaos is still calling to me the most though

@Thelifeofawife I'm wearing Chameleon Chaos today, used the hourglass lip balm in Lucid first. It’s very subtle but fun and not cheap looking. I’d say the Dior ones were more event or going out products @OvaHere , I’d struggle to find a good time to wear those. They’re a sparkly colour intense lipstick one end, and clear gloss the other. So you can’t shy away from the intensity.

I'm impressed you've already got lip gloss on before 7am. 😄I've got as far as eye patches, they're becoming a morning must have as my eyes no longer seem to want to wake up on a morning without a bit of help.

I hope my LE stuff arrives today, their shipping isn't the fastest. I really want to try Chameleon Chaos.

Hi everyone, this seemed like a good place for this question, rather than starting a new thread, but let me know if not suitable.

I want to buy a Chanel Les Beiges foundation - not normally a high end make up wearer. Is there a usual time when it's good to buy, either for a discount or decent gwp? Black Friday? January sales? Or just a case of keeping an eye out for special offers.

If you know what shade already Boots have 20% off and code EXTRA5 for further 5% (limited codes)

Otherwise yes I would work out which retailers sell it and look out for sales and gwp. There's bound to be some coming up for BF.

Does anyone know of any other beauty boxes or edits currently with the bio effect egf serum in? I used some from one of the cult beauty edits and loved it but it’s over £100 a bottle!

There's going to be one in an upcoming CB edit called the Supreme Skin Edit. Not sure when it's going to launch or how much it will be.

It's the last box in this link if you want to see what else will be in it.

Thank you! I hadn't thought of Boots, I think I have some decent offers for extra points there too.

Yes, Boots is underrated for premium beauty. They often have good offers and they sometimes stack with each other. There was a very good Lancome one a couple of days ago.

I think this box is going to sell out v fast when it's released - elbows at the ready ladies 🤣🤣

Morning all. I’ve looked at the LE things. The Kensington plum is beautiful but sadly would not suit me as too brown. The pink wouldn’t either and I’d discounted chameleon until @BakeOffRewatch kindly posted those links and oh! I think I need it, it looks far lovelier on than I thought, not garish at all, beautiful in fact. Plus I’m eyeing up the Selene eyeshadow which is a lovely cool shade compared to many of the others. I have one dark grey liquid lurex but I’ve not used it much, maybe I would with the Selene!
