Checking in. Thank you @OvaHere .

I’m working my way through the Cult Beauty Tried and Tested edit. £45 https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/p/beauty-box/cult-beauty-the-tried-and-trusted-edit-worth-over-150/17510749/

CONTENTS

• Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner 40ml TRAVEL SIZE I like this, I like the smell, but don’t like how it’s dispensed. Shake it up and down and then too much comes out.
• Medik8 Advanced Night Restore 50ml FULL SIZE I like this but think I prefer gel texture of Dermalogica Sleep Cocoon
• Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick 3,5g FULL SIZE - I like the outer packaging, colour isn’t a perfect match for me but would be a great festive base for the Lisa Eldridge sparkly lip glosses
• Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel (3 pads) - I don’t like exfoliating acids, using these on DH body. He says they’re not tingly
• Byoma Moisturising Gel Cream 50ml FULL SIZE - gone into the stash, will open after I finish my current Laneige
• Innersense Sweet Spirit Leave-In Conditioner 59ml TRAVEL SIZE - gone into the stash
• Ere Perez Mini Avocado Waterproof Mascara 4ml TRAVEL SIZE - gone into the stash

FYI the little plastic sticks that’s come with the Laneige moisturiser is great for chopping off limescale.

Thanks for the new thread.

Thanks for the edit review @BakeOffRewatch and thanks for the new thread @OvaHere

I seem to have the CB edit en route - I cracked and ordered it the other day 🙀

Thank you Ovahere !

Thank you @OvaHere for the new thread

I opened the CB edit, tried the lipstick and put it all away. It’s hard to keep excitement anymore🙄

Incredibly I did not buy this edit. I've been very good with CB edits recently. I did buy the perfume stocking but none of the big recent edits. CB must wonder what is wrong with me. 😂

Oo great review 😍

I tried the hair conditioner in the set, it smells so beautiful 🩷 I'm yet to try anything else. I've not started using it properly as I'm still finishing the Ouai one that I'm using.

I've listed the lipstick on vinted, but it doesn't seem like anyone is interested in it. I think so many red lipsticks have been listed from ACs etc so no one is really looking anymore.

I'm about to start on the La Mer Night cream from the JL luxe box 🥳

Thanks @OvaHere for the new thread. Love this thread 😍

What?! 😱🤣

Don't worry I'm not cured. I did buy some JL, SNK and Liberty edits in the last couple of months. It just seems like CB isn't doing it for me at the moment.

I needed a night cream so all the rest was freebies to me.

Thanks for the new thread @OvaHere

I took the lipstick out of the CB edit but put the rest away as I have loads to use up before I get to it. I really like the colour of the lipstick but it’s not got a huge amount of staying power.

I can’t find Elle mag with the CT item anywhere but I am tempted by the BAC for £109

There’s a beauty bag free with purchase of selected make-up at Boots. I’ve had these before & it’s not necessarily a bunch of things I’d use much but I like the bag / one or two things.

In-store, there’s often different contents in them, and I’d select the one I like most. If I buy online, will it be the one pictured… Or will I receive one with different stuff, as per the shop?

No, I can't find it either. It's sold out everywhere. I made my husband stop a few times on our way to and from chatsworth house today 🤣 but they were sold out everywhere. Tbh, I don't really need it as I have one in my advent calendar, I just like a bargain.

Not sure. I tried to go look at it but the site was being weird and kept coming up with an error code.

Astonished that we already need a new thread! Thanks @OvaHere

I guess we're a chatty bunch! The old one still has a few posts left if anyone wants to fill it up.

Ohh interesting, but I'm somehow too stupid to find it 🤪

Ohhhh did you love Chatsworth? I went not that long ago and they were setting up for Xmas so bet you’ve had a wonderful time there!!

Im wavering between the Next sets or CB stockings for 2 gifts - what do you all reckon??

I think its just the pink bag, there's option to click the free gift and it just shows the bag. Silly marketing ploy.

Thanks for the new thread @OvaHere
ready for this weeks offers and totally out of control.

Love Chatsworth, we've been before at Christmas, but it's always so magical. I've done a quick review of my day there on the scents thread. Something no one asked for 🤣 but got anyway! 🩷https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/style_and_beauty/5443053-scent-of-the-day-part-six-what-will-the-friendly-perfumistas-spray-next?reply=148562532&utm_campaign=reply&utm_medium=share

I'd go with the stockings then maybe mix them up a little bit. I like how the stockings are fun little presents and you can't see what you have until you pull the products out. Although, they might get a little excited like me, and tip the stocking and shake it so all the products come flying out at once, yayyy!! 😍🎉🥳🪅

Ahhh sounds like you had an amazing time! I’m going to try and go next Xmas.

good idea about mixing the stockings up and maybe adding some of my DODs even!!

Thanks for the new thread!

I’ve put my ndulge £5 towards a lash serum. Unbelievably I didn’t have one in my stash! I know! Can you imagine?!

Did I get Olaplex at £64? No. No I did not! I went for The Ordinary and paid £9 after my voucher.

I am barely holding myself back from restocking my Trinny Elevator and getting the new serum. I will wait new year unless there’s a BF mega-not-to-be-missed deal. My Liberty advent will keep me going till then!

Feeling a bit grumpy about the CB £15 voucher:

Has to be used by tomorrow🙀
Doesn’t stack with other codes 🙀🙀
If an item on the site is reduced, the £15 comes off the original price🙀🙀🙀This is very cheeky, imo

Anyone else found the same, or is it just me?

Thanks
