Thanks ova, I've just bought the Selfridges bridal box, I think it's great for that price. I've been selling the delinas from edits etc thinking that the PDM countdown has a travel size of the original. It doesn't 🙈🤣 I also love the wa blush stick so a backup is OK and the hourglass powder so I'm pleased with this set and I've not treated myself for a while 🤭 well apart from the color wow set I bought from LF in the sale 🤣

I got this one at full price and was really happy with it and agree a good deal for £55
As I have got the Parfums de Marly countdown to open I am not buying another as the Delina was one of the big appeals for me.

@MrsBnow12 I also got it when it released. It is a really nice one. I started using the styling spray a few weeks ago which is lovely. Hope you enjoy it and happy xmas @JoRaRaRa

M&S beauty. https://www.marksandspencer.com/l/offers/sale/beauty#intid=gnavbeautyprop-roundelbeauty-sale bit meh tbh but good if you want to stock o neom candles or diffusers as presents.

I'm so old I remember when sales were on boxing day 😅

Hi @IlovePond i’ve a Dear polly 8ml ish (had a few sprays) from last years advent that I like but don’t love that I’d be happy to gift to you if you’d like it xx

That’s so kind of you @Millymollymine - I won’t though as I have soo much stuff to get through . Thanks though - I really appreciate it x

I must've missed it when this one was mentioned. Merry christmas to you too 🥰 thank you for making me feel so welcome over the last 6 months 🩷

I’m really tempted by the hourglass holiday palette as they’re reduced on spacenk right now. I remember they were popular on this thread! I wanted to ask if anyone else here is fair/light neutral toned, which palette would you/did you go for? I’ve seen people say the deer one is maybe too subtle and doesn’t show up but I feel the swan would be too deep?

@paristotokyo - these videos have some useful information on the palettes:

@IlovePondthank you :)

I am a fair/light neutral tone (CT 5N, Dior 2.5N) and I bought the Deer, the bronzer is a touch too light and I use it more like a finishing powder but the rest are stunning and suit my skin tone. I like a no makeup makeup look and if I want more colour from the blushes they build up really well and the highlighter is perfect and not too glowy.

I bought the Swan one and I'm very pale. HG is very subtle so I think most of it will work maybe bar the bronzer. I have the palest one from last year and fancied the blushes in the darker one. Not tried it yet as it's an xmas present.

Happy Christmas everyone.

Happy Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas Everyone, hope you all have a beautiful beauty-full day! 💅💋

@OvaHerethanks, hope you love it. The bronzer does look quite dark but can maybe be worn as an eyeshadow. I’m being swayed forwards the swan, but I prefer the packaging of the deer. Decisions!

Merry Christmas 🎄
special thanks to @OvaHere for all the information but really to everyone on the thread , all so helpful and nice ☺️

I bought my hourglass palette from hourglass themselves so I was able to put the swan colours in the fox palette (I absolutely love foxes). I did buy the fox palette first but it was too dark for me. I've opened it this morning and I'm so pleased with it. I don't think you'll regret buying it. The colours are gorgeous!! 😍 I'm light / medium with neutral undertones, I think I'll need to build up the colours, I think if you can do a soft touch, swan would also suit you.

What is everyone else fancying in the sales? I've just bought a chantecaille lipstick from SpaceNK. I feel a bit irritated that sales have started already when retailers know that we're all celebrating with our families today. I don't want to sit on my phone shopping but I also don't want to miss out on bargains 😡

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I'm trying not to buy anything but we'll see how that plays out because I've already bought some skincare 👀

I'm a little peeved, I asked my other half for an Elizabeth Scarlett make up pouch when they were reduced in the BF sales and he didn't get me one because, and I quote,
'I won't be told when to shop'. Very unlike his character, he's a very easy going and generous chap. Just fighting The Man when it comes to Black Friday and the crucial flaw in the whole thing is that he didn't tell me about his Principles avec reduced cosmetic bags until AFTER BF was over.

In a rallying cry to support my own feral Will Shop All The Time principles, I'm considering buying an ES pouch at full price. Help me.
