[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.

Morning, has anyone tried the remedy vitamin c? I do have quite a few different ones to try already but this one looks really good. I can't use l-ascorbic acid i have to use derivatives

So if have a confession - I really liked the way the decree serum felt when I tried it on Thursday, so decided to chance buying another box that arrived this morning 🙈. Contents exactly the same! I've been thinking about a retinoid for ages and really like this one being an all in one, I'm a basic skincare person so something easy is more likely to be sustainable for me.

I'm normally sceptical of "worth £130" or whatever claims, but looking online it does seem to sell for that with good reviews - and I've used it twice in a row which is good going for me!

i think @JoRaRaRa you said you'd repurchased at full price, so bargain if you fancy another box.

I was coming to confess too 🤣 I asked my husband to order me another box and it arrived this morning. It is gorgeous, isn't it?! 😍 There are blogs about it and it's been called botox in a bottle. And yep, I've bought it twice before at full price, it's been my luxury splurge. I've also tried the day serum, I was able to get a gift set last year in the Harrods sale, but the day serum is sticky, I didn't like it. I like the toner mist that they do, I'm currently using that in my morning routine and I also like the sheet masks but treat tincture is definitely my favourite decree product 🥰

I can't decide if to list the Avant. Do Avant products sell? My sister likes some of their stuff so I might just gift her one of them. It's her 40th this year in November, so I'm a bit tempted to make her a 12 day calendar and I could pop one in there for her.

You'll be lucky to get £2.50 for the Avant on Vinted. I speak from experience. They do sell fairly easily but rarely will you get more than that. I save them to list when I'm uploading a load of stuff because I'll be going to the parcel shop anyway, or I add them to a bundle of stuff that doesn't sell well individually.

The Decree tincture was also in last weeks Caroline Hirons edit so imagine there will be a few appearing on Vinted. Depending what price people are asking though it might be cheaper just to get another mystery box.

Looking at Allies of Skin site as saw Copper Peptides ectoin serum on BD site and thought that looked interesting. £190🙄😬😂

Well I've paid £12 in the past for that Avant night cream on Vinted 😳 I mentioned before I love it, sorry I won't be taking any off your hands as I have three now 😆 They are often listed for £30+ and I can't imagine they sell for much, but they do sell based on me favouriting them then seeing they've been sold. Having tried lots of Avant products through BACs etc, I do think that particular is the best (only good?) thing they sell.

In fact, if that's one of you that's just listed two for £10, you have a deal 😆

The fair price for the Decree with Caroline Hirons box is £44.47 so the mystery box is definitely a better option as you can sell the candle for around £10 if you only wanted the Decree

Recommended price range for Avant stuff always comes up at under £5 when I list.

Just checked my Vinted. I sold a 50ml deluxe night cream a few months back. Listed it for £5 or £6 I think. Sold maybe a week after listing for £3.

Have all the mystery bundles had the same 3 items?

Yep, that's me 🤣

Yes, the decree treat tincture which is amazing! The neom candle which smells really nice. I've not lit it yet but I can smell it through the packaging 😍 and the Avant night cream.

Pleasure doing business with you 😂

I held myself back from ordering but the Botox in a bottle comment is swaying me !

I've spent £130 on it before, so I obviously think it's good 🤣 I really recommend it and I've never seen it for £30 before nevermind with 2 extras, so if you fancy trying it, now's the time 🩵

I think you’ve persuaded me 🤣
now shoujd I get 2??!!

How much was the box again? X

£29,99

Oh no a bargain. Ive ordered the ch kit but as @MrsBnow12 stated the fp for it is £40 odd then postage on top.
Decisions decisions 🤔
Ive not trie it yet. 🤣
Could be crap on me 😄

Ha @Doglover73 it does seem really nice, even after only 2 nights use. The fact that @JoRaRaRa has purchased twice at full price made me take a risk and buy second box and I'm glad I did.

If you do order then add a lip balm which will take you over the £30 free posting. I spent the same as what I'd have done without adding the lip balm and paying postage but I hate paying for postage 😂

And the candle does smell gorgeous. I'm going to keep one as an emergency present i think, and burn the other but not till I've changed my bed sheets tomorrow!!

Damnit. Have given in to being influenced and bought it as well. I was doing so well this month, just to crack on the last day!

Maybe we can hold out until tomorrow?
The candle Rrp is £20 (enabler).

Sorry just saw you’ve purchased - I now feel
influenced to as well. Just so you don’t feel bad on your own.
