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.

@Seahorses12 @Addictedtobeauty
Thank you for the heads up. The windows at Selfridges are gorgeous!

Reminder the Cult Beauty survey ends this weekend

“Responses to our survey must be completed by 23:59 21/12/25. One response per customer. Enter your email address at the end of the survey for a chance to win a £100 Cult Beauty gift card. One winner will be selected at random within 7 working days of the survey closing and will be contacted via the email address used to enter.”

Oooh @BakeOffRewatch my fantasy shop would have been a couple of new piercings and some beautiful earrings to put in them at Maria Tash in Liberty, plus finding the last remaining Diptyque advent calendar to open all in one go on Christmas Day. Interesting so many of us have included Diptyque in our dream spends! 😍I think I've been eyeing up the calendars for the last 3 years, fingers crossed next year is a financially benevolent one and I'll finally bite the bullet.

The CEW awards edit has been reduced to £120 (from £175) for anyone who was looking for it and hoping for it to be reduced.

That is so tempting, but I'm resisting - I have to get through my vast hoard of products in 2026 (and I'll probably be wading my way through them in 2027 too...)

@keepincool I am also resisting, I managed to pick up the three things I wanted off Vinted and also have a Cult Beauty advent coming for Jadvent which has the Medik8 in it.

Thankyou, I’ve been hoping to pick this up with a discount, a few extra presents for my daughters (and me)

Morning, all! For any last minute Xmas beauty shopping, www.allbeauty.com have free next day shipping today with code: NEXTDAY

I couldn’t find any other discount codes that worked. Does anyone else know of any? (I am eyeing up some perfume, (which is still cheaper than elsewhere, but has gone up since BF - Grrh), so I am holding off to see if there are any working codes.

Thanks

Thanks very much. I gone for it at this price. There's quite a lot of favourite things in it I'll use and I'm putting together a beauty bag for a friends big birthday in Jan so there's some good stuff I can put in that.

Another tempting offer that I'm resisting... OK BB for £39.99 and free express delivery with code CHRISTMAS20

https://www.okbeautybox.co.uk/products/ok-christmas-beauty-box

Hopefully the code can be used by anyone 🤞

Hi, been on and off lurking on these threads for a while.

I have been eyeing this box up too, it's on tiktok shop right now for £28.99 after a 30% off voucher that you just click to apply. I ordered a smaller OK beauty box with a voucher (paid like £12 or something) the other day and it looks like it will be delivered tomorrow. They do use evri, but delivery is free.

I've just checked and the box I've ordered is a past edit from their monthly subscription. On tiktok shop they've got everything from ok beauty reduced and then with a 30% off voucher on top as as far as I can see. The crackers work out at like £13.50 each. I'm tempted by everything 😂

Hi @ShyTealBiscuit welcome to the thread. I don't have tiktok shop but they do seem to have good offers there. I don't trust myself at all which is why I've never downloaded the app. 😂

You were right @keepincool , thank you. DH doing weekly shop and I asked him to pop in to Next and they had it. I’m not going to get too excited until I open it and see it’s the right thing 😂.

@BakeOffRewatch it sounds like you'll have it shortly. Really pleased it worked out for you.

Just when we thought we were safe until Boxing Day Cult Beauty sent an email announcing early access to an up to 40% off sale.

Thanks 😊

Tbh it is dangerous for my bank balance. Quite a lot of brands are on tiktok shop and they seem to do their best discounts on there. I've bought loads of beauty boxes on there.

Just browsing and there's some good savings. Patrick Ta, Saie, Vieve at 30% off.

This Fugazzi set is 40% off £96 down from £160

https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/p/fugazzi-fragrances-luxury-discovery-set/17007004/

I also went for the CEW edit, it did seem really good value at £120 and had some make-up bits I'll really love I think.

Oh dear 🤣🤣
Ive resisted all week from the gwp offer. X

It's not that good and a bit misleading. A lot of the 30 -40% off is just one unpopular shade in a line and the rest are still full price but they don't make that clear.

The best thing I saw was the Fugazzi perfume set.

I hope everything is present and correct @BakeOffRewatch .

I've found Next CS to be really good when bits have been missing from boxes. They let me keep one incomplete box once (only a nail varnish missing), and refunded me the full amount, and added £10 to my account!

Got it! Nicely packaged, this is excellent value at £40 (in app), £50 worth £212. I’d be delighted to receive this as a gift. And I won’t need any cleanser next year! https://www.next.co.uk/style/su807942/f51533

Usually I would go for something like this but I find Fugazzi perfumes a bit too full on, its like they cram in as many notes as they can, and they can feel a bit too much. Vanilla Haze excepted but that's not in the set.
