Beauty chat - freebies/gifts with purchase/offers THREAD EIGHT

[OvaHere]

New thread as the old one is almost full.

All welcome to chat about beauty purchases, upcoming beauty boxes/GWP and to share your bargain finds.

I’m tempted to get - I think a surprise in in January might be nice. I wouldn’t normally see the appeal either - but the cost is very reasonable.
thanks for posting about it .

@IDontHateRainbows I’m still on the fence about Jarrolds box - if it would come in a nice cosmetic bag (like the previous one), I’d probably go for it, otherwise it’s a bit.. not enough 😅

I'm also curious about it. One thing I do notice is that the colour matching service is way off. I told it Bobbi Brown Warm Ivory for a match then Bobbi Brown Warm Beige (my usual winter and summer colours) and it matched me to a lighter shade for Warm Beige than for Warm Ivory. Warm Beige is the next shade darker than Warm Ivory so the matching service is clearly not very well-calibrated. I don't think they accept returns so I'd want to check the colours in store before ordering.

@AndeanFlamingo Thanks for the heads up - this will prove difficult for me as a country bumpkin 😁 I really feel they should at least have some sample cards (with just a tiny drop to match shade) considering how expensive the foundation is. Maybe they do, but I haven’t seen any.🤔

Thank you @JoRaRaRa, I’ve just ordered the mystery box despite still drowning in things from the advent calendars 😆. At that price I thought it would be a bit rude not to buy it.

Thank you @JoRaRaRaas I love a mystery box and having an awful day I had ordered it and added some isoclean brush cleaner to take me over the free postage amount.

@keepincool
Ah brill.
I used 2 codes that were on her so got a discount. Im happy with that. I nearly ordered a full size foundation ages ago but stopped myself. 🥰
My low/no buy has gone out the window tbh.
But ive sold some bits.
I bought a lib box off tiktok earlier. Only bought off there a few times before. Lethal. Had stiff in ill use including some vitamins and was too good to pass on.
🙃🙄🙈

Thanks @JoRaRaRa I’ve ordered, hopefully will be a good bundle.
I bet it’s not even the product you think it is and we have all jumped on it 😅

Seems to take £10 off no min spend

@Growlybear83 that's what I thought too 🤣 hopefully it's good 🤞

@MrsBnow12 I hope your day gets better 🩷

@Thelifeofawife I bet it's not the product too 🤣 or only 1 or 2 boxes actually gets it in 🙈🤣 I'm OK to take a risk at £30, hopefully it's still good even without the decree 🤞

Thanks JoRaRaRa, I have also ordered the mystery bundle. Thought it was worth a go at £30 posted. I am thinking the Neom product might be the body butter from the image, and that is under £40 so there must be at least one expensive product included if it is worth £248. 🤔

The cynic in me says it will be Avant with an RRP of £128

Hadn’t thought of that! 😖

Noooooo 🙈 it's going to end up being that! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

I go out for one day and you're all buying mystery boxes! 😂

I've never bought a FtF mystery box. The non mystery boxes I find are hit and miss so the mystery ones could be the same. Hope it's a good one for you all though.

My free ABH palette arrived whilst I was out so that's nice. Looking forward to having a play with it tomorrow.

🤣🤣

I've never bought one either, so I was able to use the new customer code 😊 If it includes the decree product then it'll be worth it for me, but now I've got a feeling that it's not going to be that. Or if it is, it's only in a few boxes and not in mine 😕 It was in the sparkle edit, so I'm hoping they had a load left over 🤞 they do sell decree, but they also sell Avant 🙈

Ooo a free ABH palette, I must've missed that. Enjoy 🩷

@JoRaRaRa it was only free because I used that Sephora code and rewards points.

From the image, it looks like there are only 3 items in the mystery box, one of which is a NEOM product, which I think could be the body butter (tube looking product in the middle) which would mean most of the value must be in the other 2 products. Am now thinking one of them could be an Avant product though! Hey ho, I won’t get my hopes up - am happy to take a chance for £30.

Biodance masks - mixed pack of 8 for £15 at Boots. https://www.boots.com/biodance-winter-glow-kit-10366662

I assumed a NEOM candle because they’re everywhere

I wondered if the NEOM product could be this scrub https://www.facethefuture.co.uk/products/evening-self-care-bundle

I'd prefer a candle, and of course the decree serum 😂

My first thought was a candle but then I thought it might be the magnesium body butter which I had in a Bridal Beauty edit. Didn’t realise they also did a scrub.

I couldn't wait until tomorrow to play with the ABH Haze palette. It's a fab little palette for a reasonable price point. The navy blended with taupe plus a bit of sparkle from the white topper really suits me (if I do say so myself 😄). I've not really gone for blues much before but I love this.

The toppers do have quite a bit of fall out so probably one to use before applying foundation or with glitter glue.

I'm assuming the picture doesn't mean anything.

I think a few people here like this IIRC? Dr Levy Eye Booster
£7.99 max order of 3.

Doesn't give the size but I'm guessing 5ml as it gives the RRP as £55 and the full size 15ml is £165

So if you buy 3 you have a 'full size' for just under £24
