Years ago they let me return a Nars loose powder, I was seriously miffed it went from something like 40gms to 10gm with a price increase.

Oooh, mine is out for delivery! Bet it comes 5 minutes before whatever time their last delivery of the day is 😂

LouScot · 29/01/2026 10:38

@Thelifeofawife thank you! Won't comment further until everyone's has arrived but I will be happy if mine is the same 😊

JoRaRaRa · 29/01/2026 11:00

Mine hasn't arrived yet, but I couldn't wait and looked at the photo! Yayyyy!!! 💃🎊🎉 Mine better be the same 🙏🤞🤣

I have no intention of buying the FTF box but I've been on tenterhooks checking whether you've all received yours to see if you're happy with it 😆

Thelifeofawife · 29/01/2026 11:04

I am unexpectedly at home this morning so I managed to open it straight away. I was excited to see what was in there, like a kid at Christmas opening presents - funny given the low price, yet I haven’t been like that about my expensive (but worth it) BACs 😅
I need to calm down my spending, but the SNK discount is calling me; I’m tempted to get the medik8 advanced peptides that was in their BAC, I have quite liked it

@JoRaRaRa I think you should do the lottery this week Grin

Peachbubble · 29/01/2026 11:12

20% off beauty at M&S, just ordered some Lumene & K beauty items 😁

I did guess the contents right but I think that'll be where my luck runs out this week. I don't want to take the p 🤣🤣 plus, I've still to receive mine, it might not have those in at all 🙈

@JoRaRaRa mine had the same contents. Thank you for using your magical powers 😁 really keen to try it!

Sephora have up to 30% off Dolce & Gabbana

The Ever Icon eye palettes have 30% off making them £42. Only 2 of the colours are left in stock.

Nothing terribly original about the colours of the remaining palettes but the formula on these are really excellent. If you have these colours in other palettes it's not a need but if anyone is in the markets for browns or pinks they are worth it.

I want mine to arrive now. I'm getting too excited 💃🥳 I'm so glad it is the decree treat tincture, and I didn't trick you all into getting a load of crap 🤣

OvaHere · 29/01/2026 11:28

Glad everyone is pleased with the FtF mystery box.

Oh I bought the rose one yesterday with some of my bday money, it's meant to be arriving today, but evri have already been and gone. Tempted to go back and get the brown one after the chantecaille was reduced today 🤔

I have all three 😳I bought the Chrome Star one last year which is probably the most interesting in terms of colour but the formula impressed me so much I bought the other two.

So you won't regret it I don't think even if you don't need it.

@OvaHere@JoRaRaRaHow much are the eye palettes? It appears Sephora is blocked where I am so I can’t see them.

My mystery box arrived today, my DH will send me a picture later but am hoping it is the same as others. Interesting the Decree was in the Caroline Hilton’s kit launched yesterday.

I feel like I do need it so I've bought it 🤣 My current browns palette is really used now and my favourite colour has ran out. So I've bought 3 palettes with my birthday dingo dollars:
Chantecaille flamingo £51 (20% off and £5 ndulge)
2x D&g palette £42 each, so total £135. So I have £30 left 😁

With my left over spends I'd like to try out a new concealer. I have been using nars, but the applicator is too small. Does anyone have any recommendations? I've recently been getting a few fine lines under my eyes and I'm finding that my concealers are now just creasing and making me look older 🫩
