I ordered the Ok mystery box and happy to share photos when it arrives

Yes, me too 😊

Slip pillow cases 25% off in Cult Beauty now. I’ve always wanted one and some of their scrunchies - has anyone tried and do you recommend?

@BakeOffRewatch I love the scrunchies, the sort of slimline ones. Worth it imo for the gentleness on hair even though they do fall out a bit and get lost if I’m not careful.

Never tried the pillowcases but quite tempted; it’s just I like changing my pillowcase often, so I feel like I’d end up washing it multiple times a week (or buying loads of them! 👀)

Hi, £15 bonus cashback at Quidco for Debenhams and SpaceNK - limited availability, today only.

@BakeOffRewatch - I have a couple of the thin Slip scrunchies. IMO, they are fine for a plait but fall off if putting a big bundle of hair in. I like mine but am afraid of losing them as they frequently fall off.

I couldn’t get my £5 credit to stack with the CB £15 voucher 😿

Re: Cashback at Quidco - it’s on a spend £60+

25% off beauty online at M&S. Not sure if it's an in-store offer too. Includes brands.

I’ve loaded my basket on Trinny online in hopes of a decent BF offer! Although if it lasts weekend I might go to a shop instead…

Hi
An update from cult regarding the £5 voucher offer. They said they can't request £15 credit for my account but can request £10 so at least its something.
Worth contacting them but a lot of messages back and forth.
👍

M&s beauty offer is in store too. I've got myself some Sweed make up. The woman in front of me snaffled the last few Neom gift sets and sent the assistant on a hunt for more, but they were all gone.

I've not tried their pillowcases, but I switched to silk pillowcases about 10years ago, and have never looked back! My hair is much less frizzy/fluffy, and more generally healthy. I can't tell if it's actually made any difference to my skin, but I very rarely wake up with any lines on my faces from bedding.

I've got mine from M&S, John Lewis, and Soak and Sleep - depending on offers when I was buying (and colours available to match my bedding). In general, as long as they are pure silk, and at least 19momme in weight, they're fine.

Any lovers of Discotheque, the FS bottles are down to £90 with the CB 25% off and have a GWP of 8ml Lola at Coatcheck. I’m sitting on my hands on this one as I love Call For A Good Time. I might be swayed if I find a code that stacks though 😁

I was expecting some more special deals and GWPs this week- am I too early? BF is officially Friday but feels like it's been happening for ages already.

My OK beauty mystery box is out for delivery 😍

Im holding out until the end of the week, i i know ill rush in and make my purchases, then they will do a better deal. Depends on what you want i suppose.

@JoRaRaRa I’m ready to order one - I hope it’s good 😇

Recently there was discussion about trusted sellers possibly from mn on vinted, I've tried searching but can't find it.

I've absolutely fallen in love with Sisley velvet sleep mask and the black rose one from samples in liberty beauty drop, but I can't justify the full prices (or even BF prices) at the moment.

Seen some full sizes on eBay and vinted but don't want to risk getting scammed.

I buy the Velvet Sleeping Mask from AllBeauty. When they have offer codes that work I've been able to pick the full size up for around £60 ish

To add @Noshadelamp I'd be wary of full sizes on Vinted and Ebay. That range and the Black Rose range have Chinese fakes that can be bought on sites like Alibaba.
The sample sizes when a seller pictures them with the Liberty box or AC they came from are probably fine.

Edited to add. Just checked my Allbeauty past orders. I've previously purchased the Velvet mask for £64 and £66.

My OK beauty mystery box has arrived. There's 10 items in mine, quite a few brands that I've not heard of but when I've researched them, they're quite expensive and well reviewed. I will use everything except 1 product which is the cheapest anyway, so that's OK. One of the products, I was looking for a replacement of something I had already in the sales, so I'm pleased to have that to take away with me this weekend 😊

The most expensive product, when I've googled, some reputable retailers are selling it at £10 when the brand website have it listed for £39.99.

There's a few things I'm excited about trying, 2 of which are more expensive then what I paid for the box.

I don't want to give away too much and ruin it for anyone else if they're all the same. I will post a photo and contents later or tomorrow when I know that everyone else who ordered has received theirs 😁

Oops, sorry make that 12 items. I bunched 2 together and then the other 1 was at the bottom of the box, hiding 🤣

@OvaHere thank you! I think I knew there was something up with the vinted offers, fart oo cheap and so many of them. I'll look at allbeauty.

Allbeauty is good for Sisley. You just have to wait for an offer that gives the best discount. Sometimes they send out codes that stack on top of existing discounts.
