I'll just send the one I don't want back, luckily bought on klarna so I'll only pay for what I keep and has buyer protection if they don't refund. I recommend Klarna for this very purpose!

I used the Klarna app to purchase 3 items from Boots (£10 Tuesday) yesterday - the Klarna Boots offer was 7.9% cashback if paying via the app. Once I got to checkout I also received a random £8.00 off Klarna voucher so the cost was £22.00 instead of £30, with a further £1.76 cashback to come - so £20.24 total.

If anyone uses Klarna it's worth shopping via their app - I think you get a discount offer on signing up to the app too.

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 😇

Just reading this. Missed this last night but I ordered the oh my cream advent so possibly just as well as I cant resist a bargain. 😳🙄🥰
Id have been tempted by some brushes but i really dont need any so 🤣
I do keep saving stuff for best but then it doesn't get used. Need to use stuff x

ITookYourJoob · 07/01/2026 14:37

@OvaHere if that helps I didn’t buy anything either - got to stay strong! 😅

Ooh thanks. I was hoping for a full size cleansing balm. At least I have a day or two to think it over. I'm not sure I want any of that stuff so badly that I drop £200 to get it but obviously it is a really nice bonus.

I did want to try the new serum so it's not like I can't fill a basket with things I enjoy or want to try but I have so much stuff already I probably shouldn't.

Are you going to get it or is that a silly question? 😂

@OvaHereI have placed a £100 Tatcha order, I wanted a new cleansing balm and picked up another set that I will split up and sell.

I agree the Boots edit is nice but happy to pass along with some of the others. Only picked up the Cult Beauty edit due to the discount working on it.

I am planning on doing a major sort out this weekend as know my stash is out of control.

Are the Lucky bags now live? I haven't had an email yet unless I missed it.

@MrsBnow12 thanks. I just went to check. I've placed an order. This lucky bag event was on my allowed list despite my low buy intentions. I was conservative though and spent exactly £100. Nothing in the £200 bag was enticing me enough to spend double.

I got the same samples as you plus I bought the travel sizes of the new memory cream and longevity serum plus the full size cleansing balm. I'll get through those fairly quickly so they don't add too much extra to the stash.

@Hicupping that’s great, thanks! I have some items in my basket that need a discount 😁

@Hicupping that’s great, thanks! I have some items in my basket that need a discount 😁

Vouchercodes has £5 gift card with £75 spend too and it's a VIP retailer. So potentially worth another £7.50 but would need to be £75 after your 15%

Hicupping · 07/01/2026 16:23

For anyone with redness or compromised skin this looks really good. I think I'm going to have to buy - haruharu Wonder Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence
Anyone tried it?

I'm using this at the moment as the cold weather really makes my skin uncomfortably dry. I use it just before my usual moisturiser. I think it's pretty good, very similar to Rhode Glazing Milk but can be bought much cheaper than Rhode on k beauty sites.

I really like the Haruharu black rice toner, serum and eye cream. I use them for a week or so, when my Elemis starts to feel overwhelming on my skin. The Elemis aroma gets me every time though 😊

thanks, before or after serum?

Usually after serum and before moisturiser but sometimes I've used it like a toner and put it on after cleansing if my face feels tight. It's the sort of product you can do whatever with iyswim.

CorneliaStreet · 07/01/2026 18:08

I’m using that Haruharu essence at the moment too. It’s very soothing and moisturising. It’s heavier in texture than the serums I’m using so I use it after serum and before moisturiser.

JoRaRaRa · 07/01/2026 18:18

I'm so tempted by the boots £19 kit, but I feel that would definitely break my no buy January. I needed the new foundation brush and I've been eying up the Patrick ta brushes for a while since buying the bronzer and blushers, so these don't count 🤣 I'm also tempted by the tatcha, but it's all just fomo 🙈 I need to ride through it.

My cult beauty NDD order arrived earlier, so pleased to have got the brush at a bargain price, they are wayyyy too expensive.

BlueLimes · 07/01/2026 18:19

@MrsBnow12 I’m getting the free gifts but not the £100 set as well on Tacha. No it sure what I’m doing wrong !!

RockaLock · 07/01/2026 18:26

@BlueLimesyou need to enter the code LUCKY26, and then it will add the £100 bag.
