Yeah now that I'm opening the ACs and getting all the really nice stuff, I'm really not interested in the OK mystery box 🤣

@Hicupping it would be nice to hear your thoughts on the oh my cream one 🙂

Can't seem to add an image

Tried in another browser didn't work. Crikey the ads on this site.

Oskia, bader, Ilia and ren all had before.
Oh my cream plumping moisturiser looks interesting Vit C & bakuchiol
The mini serum ingredients seem very basic for something called a super serum.
Patyaka is a collagen mask will definitely use.

So good value especially with the Bader, decent range, just too much skincare. I've so many mascara's now.

Was this the £40 box? It looks amazing!! I may have to buy 😍

It was, if you haven't tried the Bader before it's worth it just for that. There's barely any vit c in the oh my cream moisturiser though, bit cheeky, less than 1%!WELCOMEOMC20 is the code if you haven't bought anything before bringing it to £32.

I've had a few bottles of the rich cream and really like it, especially this time of year. I've also had a few other AB products but the rich cream is my fave. Unfortunately, the mystery set has now sold out 😕 oh well! Probably a good thing. I did open a ab rich cream on day 1 of my Frankenstein calendar, so I do already have 1 in my stash 😊

Ive just paid £30 for theno ads. Didn't really want to but was completely ruining it for me. Hurt my eyes.
The usual ads were fine but the moving ones were a nightmare. So distracting.
Ive not been on here long but absolutely love it 😍
Will defo get my moneys worth. Less than a pound a week. Worth it for me x
They were driving me mad.

Thanks for that didn't realise there was that option. I've got ad blockers as standard so didn't realise until used the clean browser. Shredded wheat with videos and Ninja that moved when you moved your cursor.

I paid for no ads because I thought it would help me resist the urge to buy more skincare and makeup.
The optimism! Ahh.

21% off with code BDLF making it £35.55

I think this would be a good teen gift. The mascara is supposed to be good.

I had the setting spray in an AC last year and it seemed nice.

Also 21% off this one with the same code.

I bought the BBC Black Friday (£100) edit, they guaranteed a 30ml La Mer cream in each box.
This was a much better box for me over the Christmas Luxe Edit.

Elle 12 month subscription (digital and print) plus 3 CT Beauty Light Wand for £24.99 at the moment on the Heart Magazines website: https://www.hearstmagazines.co.uk/elle-magazine-digital-package-subscription-email

Make sure you pick the 12 month option to get the 3 gifts 😊

DH bought me that Elle subscription today. I’m excited about it now. I’ve already signed up for Vogue, they say there’s a free gift but no clue what.

Ok... I'm the least experimental person when it comes to perfumes and never get excited about new fragrances. HOWEVER, we were in Selfridges last weekend and I wanted to see what the Perfums de Marly hype was all about. I sprayed a bit of Delina tester on my neck and my scarf now smells of it🧣 and I AM OBSESSED 😍

I've now ordered the discovery set for £40 with the extra two sample gwp and I'm so so excited. Delina is my absolutely new favourite perfume 💓

That's an excellent box @MrsBnow12
Is Payot similar to Nuxe? Or more like some sort of Avant? I am tempted by their AC every year because it seems a good way to try a new brand in its entirety to satisfy my curiosity, but I have no idea how good they are.
Enjoy the goodies!

Welcome to the club. It's one of my faves. I also quite like Valaya which was in Harrods FAC this year but I've not properly tested it out yet. I'm saving it for the warmer months.

From an email this morning. LF gwp for Beauty + members.

This is surprisingly luxe for LF but it is £150+ spend (after discount)

I’m doing a stylevana order - our lovely @OvaHere introduced me to some rather wonderful non-shiny SPF which I have fallen in love with!

Any recommendations for k-beauty must-haves? If I’m there I may as well have some extra fun!! And there are codes galore!

Ooh lovely. I'm glad it worked out for you.

Some things I have enjoyed
https://www.stylevana.com/en_GB/tirtir-mask-fit-make-up-fixer-80ml11878.html
The spray is a really fine mist on this unlike some that deposit annoying droplets but I don't feel it locks make up down as much as Huda Easy Bake does (but easy bake spray is hit and miss). It feels to me that it leans more hydrating.

If you haven't tried these before they are great and come in some lovely colours

I like this as a hyaluronic serum. You get a lot of product so I feel like I can be generous with it.

These are very nice masks. You can just get a single one to try too.

I like this hair mask. Some people prefer the Fino one but this works better for me. It's quite scented though.

@TragicMuse also re the codes. The ones they send by email and on their instagram tend to be the best ones for getting free products rather than the codes advertised on the site, so check on those.

@TragicMuse I really like Fwee beauty products and TirTir.

Here’s a picture I posted today in response to a query on another thread re: my KBeauty makeup products.

It’s Aldi beauty dupe day tomorrow - anyone planning on trying anything in particular?
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRonxJmDBsW/?

I’d like to get another of the eye pencils as my previous Aldi dupe is practically finished.

I fancy trying the new AB dupe range but am not confident of getting my mitts on it before the idiots in my local Aldi have opened them all and stuck their fingers in everything. It drives me mad, but happens every time. I wish Aldi would charge us a little more and put security seals on their dupes!
