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.

@JoRaRaRa Sending wishes your way and hope they have a speedy recovery and don’t require the operation in the end.

Debenhams edit £40

Small sizes mostly but nice products. Not going to get this now but will keep an eye on it being discounted.

Ooh, the Cosmo one looks nice

Update - the code LOYALDEBS15 gives a £6 discount on the Debenhams set.

And code EXPRESSDEL gives free delivery which stacks.

@Thelifeofawife @MrsBnow12 thanks both. She's having the op tomorrow. She's in a lot of pain so it's for the best that it gets done and then hopefully the recovery will go well 🤞

Aww. Hope it all goes well and she's comfortable again soon.

I wouldn't mind trying the Murad cream in the debenhams set. But I have so much now, I really don't need anything else 🤣 I definitely don't need more lancome stuff. I'm going to try not to purchase any skincare until Harrods brings out their gwp bag 😶‍🌫️

My SNK gwp has just arrived. I'm really pleased with it 😊 I'll probably sell some of it, but some of the items, I'm excited to try. I bought the summer glow edit, drunk elephant time to reflect set, a tatcha dewy mist and an hourglass glossy lip balm to get it 😊

Thank you 🩷

I'm trying to resist despite the discount. I'd like the Lancome creams and the Prai cream but not fussed about the other stuff. I don't want to be stuck with a bunch more minis and can't be bothered trying to sell or pass on either.

I'm layering 2 serums at the mo in a morning as I have too much stuff....

@JoRaRaRa Hope doggy is ok and recovers quickly. 🥰

Whens the Harrods gwp? Is it usually good? Never shopped at Harrods before Elemis/Tatcha advent.
The edits are not tempting me at all. The good thing about buying a tonne of stuff this last year and lockdown year is that I have tried a lot and if it's not for me im not tempted unless its resellable and there's something I really want. 🥰

I love this. So relatable 🤣🤣

It's usually in May and has loads of stuff in it 😍 it is a high spend for it, but it is usually worth a lot and comes with a Harrods tote bag which is a different design each year. I didn't buy it last year, I couldn't decide what to buy to qualify for it and then the offer expired 😔 I think it was this one https://www.harrods.com/en-gb/c/harrods-gift-with-purchase

@Doglover73 @JoRaRaRa details here for the April/May 2025 Harrods GWP https://beautyadventcalendar.net/harrods-beauty-gift-with-purchase-2025/ That is a nice tote.

@JoRaRaRa hope the op goes ok tomorrow for your pooch and they’re on the mend real soon. 💐

@JoRaRaRa Hope the op goes well tomorrow and wishing her a speedy recovery.

I got it last year in the store. It's a high spend, £250 I think. It had a lot of expensive stuff in it but all teeny things. I was buying a birthday perfume anyway last year.

I don't think it's worth making a completely unplanned purchase for unless you're sure all those minis won't hang around in a drawer for ages. I think I sold or passed on the vast majority of it in the end as collecting loads of minis for me starts to feel like a bit of a chore.

I've definitely had the most use out of the tote! 😂

Hope the op on your dog goes well today @JoRaRaRa 🙏

Hope all goes well today, JoRaRaRa. ♥️

Yes best wishes for the op @JoRaRaRa

@JoRaRaRa Sending wishes all goes well today.

@OvaHere I heard back from Tatcha yesterday, as did my friend, and they are sending out the cream to us FOC, great service from them.
I also received my Beautylish dispatch so hope they arrives next week

Great news on the Tatcha. Mine should arrive today or tomorrow I think.

Also got the BL dispatch email. A few are starting to get revealed online and I have some mixed feelings. Seeing a few items I'd be pleased with and some that would be meh. Not sure how long it will take to arrive but I'm thinking into next week now.

Also hope all goes well today @JoRaRaRa 🙏

Got my Harper's Bazaar beauty box today and it doesn't disappoint. No avant for once, hurray! Amouage guidance and ianthe oud, votary, zelens and other goodies. Link up thread. £94 .
