Morning! Does anyone know if the bag Boots are giving out with a £20 spend on certain beauty products is just an empty bag? I could have sworn someone on here mentioned it a while ago but I can’t find it.

Thanks

Btw: Allbeauty.com have up to 55% off in their BF sale, including brands such as Shiseido and Bobbi Brown. I am holding firm - for the moment!

You just reminded me that I had a dream recently that I was in a shop and there was a handful of these ‘gold dust’ magazines available, I snapped them up so I could share them with you all 😅

This feels a bit like the Harrods FAC or TPS box, and could become another debacle, so I'm not actually going to assume I have it until it's in my hands 🤣

Its an empty bag.when you click on see the free gift link it shows that its a pink wash bag in second photo.

@OvaHere I've had some of their mystery edits in the past and, although is a low spend, I've always felt they were lacking something and haven't been impressed. Not sure why I bought them. Sign of madness: doing the same thing but expecting a different result.
I agree with you on the proper edits with full descriptions, very good every time.

Ah, I suspected as much. Thanks @SavageGarden23

I have (and love) my Jarrold’s Wild Night In bag. Buying another as a present- it’s absolutely gorgeous.

Ugh. I'm so wavering on this.

I don't need it. I don't need it. 😳

@OvaHere Not to be an influencer but it is gorgeous.
I am going away today and my husband was like that bag is too nice to take with why don’t of take one of your others.
I am going to mom and have a reputation for leaving things with her.

Ive just messaged thanks x

My issue is I just don't want any of the products. I'd probably use the cleanser (eventually) but if any of that stuff was in a cardboard box I wouldn't look twice at it.

Eventually Jarrolds will do an edit in a lovely ES bag and with a selection of things I do mostly like.

Im pretty sure it had products in as they found one with 4 things in they liked, so each one differs. One item was a nail polish and a mascara. Although I have meno brain so could quite possibly have dreamt it 🤣

Oh sorry I must be on about a different offer x

Thanks @Doglover73 - it is weird as the only picture that opens for me shows items in front of the bag 🤷‍♀️

Oh well - I don’t need anything!

On an unrelated note: Please congratulate me on buying an actual Xmas present for SONEONE ELSE just now 😹. (Reduced Nike trainers for adult DS1.) I am feeling the warm glow of virtue!

To be fair this is very true, I would have also passed without looking twice if it was in a box.

I'm trying hard to be more mindful and gearing up for my low buy year. Also come Dec 1st I have a lot of stuff rammed into my part DIY part SNK advent calendar. I couldn't tell you what most of it is now. Oh, and I have Harrods to open too. 😱

Me too.

Someone needs to list that they hate it.

Sad news. Merit are discontinuing their Signature Matte lipsticks. It's my very favourite matte lip formula so I'm very disappointed. They've got a sale starting on the 24th and they're also sold in Sephora.

So heads up for anyone else who likes this lipstick as much as me.

I do have all the shades of it I would normally gravitate to but may consider one or two more before they're gone for good.😥

It's possible they are replacing them with the Lip Blush formula that was in their Archival holiday set. I got this in the Sephora sale and it's okay but I don't like it as much as the mattes.

Sephora have them 25% off at the moment.

Favourite lipstick being discontinued is almost as bad as your hairdresser moving away 😫. I’m still wistful about no smudge intense colour MDM FLOW.

Or favourite scent being discontinued. I have half a bottle left of La Prairie Life Threads Platinum and it’s the smell that my teenager associates with me so it’s really precious…
