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.

Thank you so much ☺️

Right ladies! I need your help! Boots have the ysl blushers on 50%, but whenever I add them to my basket, they go back to full price. Can anyone help me? I don't get what I'm doing wrong 😭

Yep full price, heard really good things about this blush

I just gave it a go and same thing. It's Boots' error and their awful website!

Thank you for trying. I'll keep an eye on it tomorrow and hopefully the 50% off will work then 🤞 If not, it's probably a sign that I don't need it 🤣

The luxury Harrods version of the Elemis BAC is now on sale at less than half price (half price with a further 10% off at check out). It means the entire calendar costs less than the full price of the ultra smart marine cream included. Expect this will sell out quickly.

Thank you for posting this. I didn't buy it, but I did go to have a nosey and then saw that the Bioeffect firming favourites that I was looking at last night was reduced by a further £40 🎉🥳 £76 for the Egf serum, eye serum and eye patches 💃

For anyone interested in K-beauty, this looks like a good offer. I've ordered from Style Korean previously and they were fine.

Edited as the link isn't working properly - I wanted to link to the New Year Lucky box out on 12th Jan (Year of the Horse - which is my Year 😀)

Pic instead...

Oh fuck I was doing so well but this has large sizes of some of my favourite products. 😳Another £22 off at checkout too.

Oh well. Some of it can be sold on or gifted. There's a few bits DD would like.

Tbf @OvaHere i was also tempted!!! It’s a great price, like less than £10 each product and I really rate Elemis. But I wouldn’t enjoy having so much stuff to choose from. I was squinting at my dressing table this morning trying to find a morning serum - seems like I’ve finally run out! I have a tiny tube of Augustinus Bader Retinol serum but I hated the smell and will only use at night. I have a ridiculous number of day moisturisers to get through, probably won’t need any until mid 2027.

I think next year I may opt for my low buy to start from February as so many offers in January that I can’t seem to resist and I have spent a small fortune in January.
And yes I ordered the Elemis, but will split it and sell.
Elemis sells well on qvc groups for anyone looking to split and sell.

@BakeOffRewatch very kind of you to ease my conscience. I did try to walk away from this one...for about half a minute. 😂

Oopsie- just bought the elemis and tatcha calendars from Harrods.

The tatcha one is v good deal at £92 .

I wasn't expecting this one. I saw Harrods had it at 15% off at the weekend but that was easy to scroll past.

I did not buy any of the reduced Bioeffect sets even though I was tempted to add one on. So go me...kind of...that's a bit of restraint, right?😏

Not going looking at the Tatcha one. Nope. Just no. 😂

I was just coming on to say tatcha was reduced as well. I used elemis years ago. Do I go back to it?
Anyone know what's in the Tatcha £100 lucky bag?
Although im not buying. 😀
I went mad last year and spent £500 then ended up selling/giving a lot away. I didnt rate the lip masks 🤷🥰

@Doglover73 the lucky bag contents are in the last couple of pages. One is my post another from @MrsBnow12

I ended up going back on and ordering the elemis ac. I was reading out the contents to my mum and decided that I needed it too 🤣 no buy Jan is going well 🙈 My mum bought it as well.

The tatcha calendar is such a good deal, I don't know if to go back and order that too 🤣

Tatcha is very tempting. I've just bought the lucky bag deal which is a shame because this is actually better in some respects. That's how it goes though. Only a few of products are what I would call firm favourites so I'm not buying for the sake of it.

yeah I saw the contents of the lucky bag and wasn't impressed. Anyone wanting the kissu lip treatment, Space NK still have the lip crackers at discount and it's in there with some other lip products, I think around£20 for the lot. Not sure if it's exactly the same lip treatment as in the lucky bag.

The other one I like is the indigo night repair balm, but there's a mini of that in the harrods set which will do me.

Ive just bought the tatcha and elemis. Ive got some elemis bis to try. Will see if I like as much as I used to. Its very resellable. Definitely not buying tatcha with goody bag now. 🥰
I resisted the bio effect as have a few of the serums from edits and dont need another face cream.
@mrsBnow12 Definitely from Feb onwards. 🤣

Ordered them both on next day delivery which is £12 but I'm not very patient plus if it comes next week and I'm not in..... (I wfh on Fridays).

will update tomorrow on contents as I'm certainly not opening them one a day, I'll rip all the doors open as soon as it lands.

Oh FFS, I added the Elemis to my bag but was just running an errand and I’ve gone to check out and it’s now OOS - I can see my the latest comments that you lot have cleared out the stock 😅

Same thing happened to me last night with a Neom wellbeing pod. I think this is a sign that I shouldn’t be spending any money
