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.

I’ve not smelt it yet but I think it was in the Cult Beauty scent GWP that they did recently? If you’re still wondering where it appeared from!

Ah thanks @ElizabethG81 - I remember now that I popped the smaller items from that GWP into my DIY calendar.

The CB After Dark Edit launches tomorrow. If anyone is planning to get it don't forget to try all the usual codes first BDAY15 / BDCB / ANNIIECB are a few that sometimes work.

Has anyone seen this Revolve vault? $330/£319 value $991. there was a 20% off code and there’s probably another out there https://beautyadventcalendar.net/revolve-ultimate-beauty-vault-2025/ It has a £178 pore extraction device in it though and I thought that was considered bad for skin? Interested in people’s thoughts on the edit. Some big names in there. And the vanity case is quite classy. It has the daily firming treatment from Allies of Skin that you like @OvaHere

Oh dear I really like the vanity case too RRP £99 . Would be perfect for those looking for perfume stash www.revolve.com/mobile/etoile-collective-x-revolve-duo-vanity-case-in-espresso-croc/dp/EIVR-WU71

@BakeOffRewatch yes I saw that one. Other than the AoS I wasn't too bothered about the other products. The vanity bag is nice though so in all a lovely self gift if you'd use a lot of it.

CB edit looks quite good! Not sure if anyone actually needs more lipglosses and mascaras at this point 😁 but tempted nevertheless.

Space Nk are offering £20 off a £100 spend when using the code Explore.
I checked it doesn’t work with the fragrance advent.

Thank goodness the CB edit is a pass for me, would only want it for the lipgloss and would prefer a Lisa E one instead.

I like the CB edit, but mainly for the LM eyeshadow stick and the mascara. I really need to stop spending so I need to try to ignore this thread today 🤣

I went shopping IRL last night and bought a load of sparkly makeup, only to have buyers remorse immediately after when I remembered that we only have 2 weeks of December and then it's grim January (my birthday is in January so I have the right to call it grim 🤣).

@JoRaRaRaI caved and bought the edit - so much for saying I won’t!
Feel free to PM me if you want the LM and mascara as happy to sell them at Fair price

The C mascara is a very good one but you're probably drowning in them like me. It's one I'd make a repeat purchase of except for the price. For me the edit is a bit pricey and don't need any of it.

The Boots edit has dropped a couple of days early. It's the last one and is their Good Intent range. £35

Thanks @OvaHere i didn’t get an email when it drops could you please send me hyperlink?

Thank you for the new thread @OvaHere 💗

Again, I'm marking myself safe from the latest CB and Boots edits, because I already have the exact same things/very very similar! I kept contemplating different CB edits as they were popping up, but I slept on them and realised I just don't need any more "stuff" at the moment.

Didn't go ham during BF either - only replaced things that I know like and running out of. I did get new DM setting spray and it's magic on full glam face, would be a bit too drying for everyday, I feel.

2026 is going to be a very spendy year (big trips to book, big birthdays in family coming up), so I'm trying to reign myself in early 😬

I take my sparkly make up on holiday so it gets a summer outing. Just think of it as buying in advance 😁

Sorry I was posting quickly. Glad you found it.

Has anyone who ordered the CB Skindulgent edit (with the Medik8 retinal) received it yet? Mine has been sitting with Evri for a week.

Not tempted by the Revolve vault, although that Nest NY candle is my favourite ever.

@owlpassport yes got mine on Friday.

Thanks, I think it's an Evri issue rather than CB, but I've contacted them to chase it up. At least it's for me and not a gift, so I don't need it urgently.

I recently bought their Tried and Trusted edit which got “delayed” with Evri too. When I contacted CB’s customer service, they said it had actually been lost 😔. By then it was out of stock, so couldn’t be re-sent! I wish they’d stick to Royal Mail.

Yes they used Royal Mail with me and I picked it up from the delivery office. Probably would have been dumped if Evri!

I won't be surprised if this is the eventual outcome tbh! It did seem such a bargain that it was too good to be true. If I don't get it, I don't get it. I've actually got a Crystal Retinal 10 upstairs waiting for me to upgrade, so if this doesn't come (with the CR6) that's my sign.

I had a £10 space nk voucher so I caved and bought the only LE sequin gloss I hadn’t bought, the Kensington plum. Tbh is is despite me saying it wouldn’t suit me 😆. I decided the other two weren’t colours I would’ve usually picked but I adore them and wear them loads so hoping the plum will be the same and for £10 it is worth a try! Reviews said it is universally flattering…
has anyone tried Kay beauty? It’s very reasonably priced. I put in a kajal
pencil for £6 to get free delivery with space nk so I’m now intrigued about the brand!

Thanks so much for the new thread 😊
Popped in Liberty yesterday - the glam kit is very impressive - sadly not right make up colours for me. Someone must buy it though !
