Matiere Vanilla Powder smells like pee on my skin :( I really should like it as it’s vanilla. fragrance is so individual!

@IlovePond I love trying new shampoos, always trying to find the one! 😂

I'd rather have only 40ml if I didn't like it, but disappointing if it was expensive.

Hope you like your other purchases more.

Sorry, this should have been on the advent thread, I've got them all muddled now! 😳

IlovePond · 15/10/2025 22:53

Me too @Christmaschristmas - I get them muddled. The shampoo and conditioner felt really drying, but I have to say my hair feels quite silky now!

I love Ouai, I get their huge 900ml refill bags. Their leave in conditioner is good too. Just wish they put the St Bart’s scent in the hair.

The details and prices of the Cult Beauty Holiday Edits are out. the link on BD takes you to the Cult Beauty page, I couldn’t work out how to share via the app hence this link.

Will be passing all of them and glad I stocked up on EGF earlier in the year.

One of the CB Edits has the Kate Somerville Supercell Serum full size in it. I'm trying to use one of those up at the moment and don't like using it. It has a mental roller dispenser which I'm not keen on and makes it difficult to manage the amount of product dispensed.

Obviously others may like the idea of a cooling roller but thought I'd mention it.

Aha! that Ouai kit would be ideal for DD. Also, belated hello/thanks for the new thread 👋

Oh 😮‍💨 the skin edit is more than I wanted to spend 😞 I'm not fussed about the zelens serum, so I think I won't bother. I probably should work through my current stash anyway.

QueefofSheena · 16/10/2025 10:50

I’m going to try to get the skin edit as I’ve only got perfume ac this time and I love the EGF

JoRaRaRa · 16/10/2025 13:15

My boop! beauty order has just arrived and it's gorgeous 😍 I'm so impressed with how fast it's arrived too, I only ordered yesterday.

Trying to picture a mental serum dispenser in my head 😁🙃

TreesinthePark · 16/10/2025 17:44

I'm disappointed in the CB boxes as I was only interested in the Bioeffects EGF. I expected the edits to be around £40 and would have bought two regardless of what the other contents were. But at £90 I'll skip it.

Thelifeofawife · 16/10/2025 18:19

Same. I wanted the edit for the bio effect because I’ve not tried it before, but for that price when I’m not too fussed about the other items, it’s just not worth it. It feels a it steep considering you can get a BAC for not much more

I put a lot on my hand and then struggled to get it off 🤣 I think a little goes a long way with it.

@TreesinthePark @Thelifeofawife I'm leaning towards getting it again 🤣 it is still cheaper then just buying the Egf serum on its own, so everything else is basically free 💁🏻‍♀️

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 16/10/2025 18:34

That's a gorgeous shade. I got Dragon gloss and Painterly lipstick from LE last week, I might need to get some more. Am trying to encourage myself to spend less though.

CorneliaStreet · 16/10/2025 18:37

I just had a look at my previous Cult Beauty orders and the edit I got earlier in the year with the Bioeffect EGF in was only £40 and I think they also had it in another edit this year for about the same amount.
