That looks good, annoyingly when I Google search it it shows a discounted price but I can't find a code on coupert. Brings it down to £147. If anyone has the code, please reveal!

Totally @LemonJuiceFromConcentrate 😹

@IDontHateRainbows I think someone mentioned this previously and it was pointed out that the £147 is its regular price excluding vat or something? I don't think there is an offer on this yet. Anyone with a better memory than me please chip in if I've gotten that wrong.

How unusual that they would show the pre vat price - that doesn't tend to happen normally, not in the UK. It got my hopes up as it seemed a bit more reasonable, whereas £175 is a tad too steep, although still not bad value for money considering the contents.

Ordered a few lovely Lisa Eldridge things from SNK this morning. I put them in my basket last night and told myself rather sternly that I could buy them in the morning if I still wanted them. I also made myself rebuild the basket on my PC, from memory, which was a bit mean considering my memory isn't that great at the best of times. It really helped to determine what I actually wanted versus what was me basically being a kid in a sweet shop so I hope I have the discipline to repeat it...

Now feeling quite chuffed about my methodical self-restraint and looking around for any deals I can reward myself with. Sigh.

Oooh, will be looking through this thread tomorrow

I have my LF vault arriving tomorrow. I got it to £103 with discount code, and then used £25 voucher, which means i paid £78 for it. It now appears to be out of stock. Just wondered if anyone saw it go lower than £103?

Has anyone had to deal with CB over an undelivered package? My Discotheque full size BF ‘bargain’ has been delivered to god knows where. The picture just shows a hand holding it next to a huge pile of parcels on someone’s driveway. I’ve contacted them and had an auto response but I just hope it’s not going to be a battle. Bloody Evri!

Cult beauty customer service is awful. Try a couple of times and then go to trust pilot then someone who can actually do something sorts it out.

Did anything get left out in the morning?

Ohhh thank you! I've been fighting with them over a refund because they now have both my money AND my product for weeks and the customer service is so awful, it has completely put me off ordering from them ever again. I would have bought loads from from them over BF but I bought from Boots/SNK instead.

Thanks @BakeOffRewatch I'm gutted as it’s the most pricy item I’ve bought from them recently

@XelaM @QueefofSheena it was actually my first order with them, lots of hourglass stuff using their new customer 15% and they sent me something from a different brand that clearly was gone off or not stored right. It kept going round the houses about “quality checking” and asking me for codes off the bottle and “we’re waiting to hear from our quality team”. I could have just returned it under distance selling regulations. It was sorted out and every subsequent order has been fine. I only order things they’re advertising though or one of their top brands. Things that I think will be newly sourced.

@BakeOffRewatch Yes, the basket value went from around 300 to 150! One of the things I couldn't remember when putting my basket together afresh was baby facial by Drunk Elephant, the price was really good but clearly I wasn't that fussed. I also had the Ole Henriksen Acid flash facial in my basket, I think they are similar products, but forgot about both.

Now wondering if I've been daft. The only masks I have at the moment are the erborian milk mask and the elemis papaya one.

thanks @OvaHere…checking in

I have been really impressed by the LE sparkly lipgloss. I wore the pink one out to dinner on Friday and didn’t expect it last beyond the first sip of a drink but was surprised by the staying power

Honestly the Lisa Eldridge Sequin Lip Glosses have been my most delightful purchase. I love them. Thanks @OvaHere ! I think you single handedly got at least six of us to buy 😂

I owe @OvaHere doubly, for the lipgloss and Vogue AC deinfluencing

Merit are offering a full size blush in shade ‘Cheeky’ with any order today, first time orders also receive a signature bag.
A number of products also have 20% off, I ordered one of the eyeshadows I have been wanting to try.

Space NK is offering an extra 10% off when you spend £100 today with the code CYBER2025. You can also get a free full size gift when you spend £85 with the code UNLOCK

I love the LE sequin lipglosses. I’ve worn chameleon loads and bought peek a boo on Saturday with 25% off. The Kensington plum is beautiful but I resisted because when I swatched it I knew it wasn’t the right shade for me. But it would look stunning on someone who suited browns!

I nearly bought Chameleon but I wasn't sure how to wear it - it looked sheerish with some colour. Can it be worn alone and on top of a lipstick?
I'm still working out what shades suit me so I'm trying not to buy things because they're pretty. Aside from yesterday, obviously...

I have been hunting Kensington but it’s sold out in our nearest store. Could you please share where did you buy it from?

This only worked for me if I put £150 spend in a basket.

The UNLOCK code didn't work at all.

I’ve got Chamelon and yes I wear it with other lipsticks, it’s beautiful, quite subtle but I really like it!
