Earlier me was righteous and immune to such fripparies as fragrant shower oils and balms for the complexion.

Evening me has no such concerns. Evening me is recovering from a week.

Help.

Feel like Zara from Accessorize read our thread. It did stand out with the personal name and subject line in my inbox.

Sorry @Doglover73 I didn't see your message until now. It was a countdown offer i think that ran out at 7am on the Jo Loves site. Spend limit increases by the hour so free candle with £100 spend now

Being the 🐑 that I am, I’ve been looking on Escentual website. There’s some great deals. I hadn’t even heard of the site before.

@JoRaRaRa as we seem to lean towards the same fragrances, I wonder whether you’ve tried the Guerlain perfumes? I’m looking at La petite robe (sounds a little like YSL mon Paris to me) and Insolence.
Or if anyone else has tried these - any feedback?

I spent a good amount of time in one of the department stores sniffing these many months back. I was looking at these deals this morning trying to remember if I had liked any in particular. However I have zero recollection of what they smelt like or if I liked any of them.

Not helpful I know, sorry. 😂

I didn't buy any in the end even though they seem like a good deal.

Haha, sounds like something I would do 🤣

I don’t actually need any more fragrances, it will get to a point that I will have to wear 3 at once 🤣 but they are such a good deal 😁

I love the concealer for under my eyes, I have the foundation but it just doesn't seem to sit right on me - I prefer the lumene cc

Have you tried their new shade, Yulong? I think it's only stocked in Nars stores / on their website at the moment (at least, it was when I bought it!), but I love it - it's still fair but much more neutral.

No! I had no idea there was a new shade - I’ll have to try and acquire a tester. Thanks so much!

There's nothing wrong with wanting a bargain 😍 I've not tried those 2 fragrances. My guerlain loves are Mon Guerlain which I have a big bottle of already 😁 Escentual are selling gift sets of it in the 50% off, and Ambre Samar which is usually £164 for a FS bottle but escentual had it at half price plus an extra 12% off it made it £72 - such a bargain ❤️

When I posted the link above it was still on 50% off, now it's back at full price. Mon Guerlain is still showing at 50% off for the bottle but not the gift set.

I'm wondering if the price goes back to full price when they've sold a certain amount 🤔
I bought the guerlain face highlighting pearls - Christmas edition at half price and they're now full price again. I wish I'd got the brush that matches the normal set. That was half price too and is now full price again. Escentual have done very well out of me anyway.

Could anyone recommend a lip balm from Boots online around £10-15 budget. Not glowy, just moisturising for the Christmas crackers I am making. many thanks

There are Laneige sets for £20 ish with 4 and 5 balms in. Bit over budget but I really rate them and might stack with points?

Sorry just saw you don’t want glowy.

How about Burts Bees??

@OvaHere@JoRaRaRa You are both such influencers, but in a good way, had not heard of Guerlain Meteorites before yesterday and needless to say have some winging their way to me along with a Givenchy Lip Balm so I didn’t have to pay postage 😂

I tried them briefly at the hbeauty event, just on my hand, I've never used them before though so I'm v excited 😍 I wish I'd gotten the matching brush in the sale, even though I've been buying loads of brushes recently 🙈🤣

@JoRaRaRaI bought the autumn ones so luckily no matching brush to tempt me, I am sure I have one that wi do the job in my vast collection of brushes. I also appear to have added to this recently.

I ordered the 4 part powder, different colours, in the palest shade as it was a bargain at £16. I didnt want anything glowy. I did thorough research and kind of hoped the reviews would be rubbish but they weren't. 🤣 so had to buy. I will use it. Also bought some guardian lip glosses etc at a fab price plus perfum de malie set. I think ive misspelt that 🤣
You are good influences. 🤣
Feels a true bargain if prices have gone back up today. 😍

@JoRaRaRa Thank you! I think I’ll go for the Mon Guerlain for now, the other one sounds lovely too but a bit more of an evening scent for me, of which I have a few new ones anyway (granted I have a few of everything, but if it’s a daytime fragrance then it will get used more)
It’s a shame I missed the giftset option but I can get a single bottle heavily reduced which is great.
I’m off to look the mens now, try to get someone else a gift 🤣

Hi everyone recently came across the last thread thank you for posting all the offers. I’ve also discovered the advent one too. I’m thinking of sending two of the edits back to cult beauty and reordering as will save 20.00. Also it’s a good job we now have a bigger hallway as the boxes are piling up. My husband thus morning took in a delivery for me and I heard him saying it’s like a post office. Then three more deliveries have arrived whilst he is out.

I’ve had a really difficult year with my mental health and only just went back to work last month. Been able to buy some nice stuff like make up for myself is nice

im looking at those perfumes now. It would be nice to have a more expensive perfume but not at the full price. I’m glad original poster posted

@MrsBnow12 the autumn ones look gorgeous 😍 I saw those after buying the Christmas ones and was so tempted.

@Doglover73 i also bought the PDM sets, but for gifts. Men's for my husband and women's for my mum. I was so tempted to buy it for myself as that price was an absolute bargain, but I have oriana full size already and delina in the PDM countdown so I couldn't justify it. What a great bargain though, 🩷

@Thelifeofawife mon guerlain is my go to scent for everything, I think you'll love it 😍 I have loads of minis of it for holidays etc. I think it can be worn through the day, at the office and on a night out. Let me know your thoughts when you receive it. I probably should get another bottle whilst it's on offer but I've only just started a new 50ml of it 🤔
