Beauty chat - freebies/gifts with purchase/offers THREAD SEVEN

[OvaHere]

New thread for when the old one is finished. We rattled through the last thread being a chatty bunch.

Everyone welcome to chat about beauty and/or share bargain finds.

Oh my cheds 🤣🤣🤣 this made me laugh!! I really liked the AC, and had they reduced it before my new years res, I would've defo have grabbed it. I did do a list of my skincare though and I keep finding more stuff that I've hid around the house 😳 I found the skindulgent box earlier that I have no memory of buying, receiving or hiding 🙈🤣

Thank you for the foundation brush recommendations. I'm going to have a look at them all over the next day or so. Hoping I can get one from Spacenk as I have a £10 voucher and a birthday gift from them 🥰

Has anyone bought the new medik8 serum? I'm soooo tempted 🤔

Glad its not just me that buys, hides then forgets all about it. Sometimes ill buy bits off vinted etc then find i have the box 🙄🤣
One of my new year resolutions is to keep more of a tab of what I have bought. X
Oh my cheds! Love that 🥰🤣

I'm starting to think that I only really like the buying and receiving 🤣 some products I get so excited about receiving that I want to use them immediately, but I think if I'm honest, most of them, I forget about. Maybe I should stop calling deliveries, presents 🤔.... Nahhh!!! 🎁📦💁🏻‍♀️

I'm hoping to order some baskets and start organising my stash better, making use of the various cosmetic and wash bags that I've got 😊

The other one that irrationally annoys me is 'gasm' added on to everything. Glowgasm, lipgasm etc. Charlotte Tilbury is the worst offender but not the only.one.

God I really am turning into my mother

I agree with gasm thing! 🤣🤣 ott.
And the silly names of some of the nars products.
I sound like Mary Whitehouse but I do think its cringey 🤷

I’ve been following this thread and despite looking 😆🫣 - I have resisted all the edits and bac. Only thing I’ve been tempted by has been the medic8 new peptides @JoRaRaRa . But I’m holding strong - just

I like buying and receiving too- it’s not as exciting using tbh

I think I’ll get the Tatcha offer. Interested to see what’s the £200 offer although the £100 looks good anyway.

Aah feel a bit daft about the hourglass brush although it looked very real! The best brush I’ve had in a while is actually the ELF ultimate foundation brush which was about £7. It blends really well and has washed well too.

I agree about the gasm and the daft nars names. It seems immature.

We can do this @dc82 💪💪 I think I'm going to wait for the reviews for the new medik8. I don't want to break my NY resolution and then it ends up being 💩

Who on here ordered the CEW box? What are your thoughts onit? My parcel still hasn't arrived ( it's a Royal Mail problem not the company itself) and I'm not sure what to do now - I think another poster said the Tatcha sunscreen expired in February so I'm wondering if I should just ask them to get the parcel sent back to them and ask for a refund. I feel a bit like I'm being daft but Royal Mail are driving me mad by making every purchase a 3 week ordeal to actually get anything. Will definitely help with my low buy year though, so I should be grateful for that 🙄

It was a good box. You should get a refund if its this delayed. Mine came before Christmas, and I got one of the last ones.

I've just ordered the hourglass brush again 😊 and 2 of the Patrick ta brushes. You can currently get 40% off a lot of stuff on cult beauty with the code BBWAYNEG40. I wouldn't go mad though, it's likely to be a glitch and they'll likely cancel the orders tomorrow 🤣 with refunds likely taking weeks to be returned 🤔

I'm a bit torn about posting this info after the whole perfume society debacle, but I don't want to gatekeep either. Plus I got it from beauty detective so she can get the blame, not me 😇

Thanks @IDontHateRainbows , I also bought one of the last ones, and did like the contents, think I'm just on the verge of cutting off my nose to spite my face. Do you know if your sunscreen expires in February?

I dont know, I sold it.

@JoRaRaRa too late, I'll cross my fingers my order isn't cancelled 😂😍

This was a great deal, thank you for pointing it out. Quick tip to avoid the order being cancelled - I pay the little bit extra for next day delivery. This often means it has to be dispatched before it gets cancelled.

Oooh excellent tip!! I might go cancel and reorder with next day delivery 🤣

Thanks for not gatekeeping. CB are a big fish unlike TPS who seemed a lot smaller/ independent so I have zero moral qualms about using the code.

Shame it only works on full price

I'm in shock and need to step away from my laptop immediately 😅Let's see what tomorrow brings... or doesn't of course 😂

@JoRaRaRa thank you. I just ordered one thing - £23 rather than £39. Let’s see if it comes! You must be good at finding codes !!!

Thanks @JoRaRaRaI ordered the latest edit and some other bits I don’t need including the new Gisou lip
mask, Laura Mercier tinted foundation, new Gucci blush and the Hourglass unlocked in espresso.

I ordered a couple of things with next day delivery and its already with Evri! Hoping they won't do a post recall like TPS did. They are usually v slow to respond to anything do this may go in our favour.

Ah, they've just removed the code. Added a few things to my basket and it worked, browsed a bit more and suddenly it was gone and won't work any more. Oh well, good for my bank balance!

Thanks @JoRaRaRa

I've ordered a few items including staples and fun stuff to try. I managed to get a £15 voucher for spending £65 on skincare. I bought the discoteque discovery set which strangely seems to give me a £10 voucher off the same set. Will have to see exactly what they send.

Cult Beauty order process always seems so efficient and automated I expect to get the order as not enough human intervention to notice the code. Fingers crossed!
