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.

Very bad day for my bank balance today, simultaneously buying everything on my SNK wish list in store at 20% off and at the same time buying JoRaRaRa's rejects on Vinted 😂

I saw the chantecaille flamingo eye palettes in store and they are gorgeous, so sparkly! Have resisted so far but they're still 20% off for a few more days...

You're all making me think I need one now. Even though I have one and haven't tried it yet so don't know if I like it. 😂

I've been good and not ordered (yet) from the SNK event. I've put a few things in a basket then deleted. Keep telling myself they'll do another 20% off in a month or so.

I bought 2 more.
They are for my DD and DDIL.
Honestly 😊

A most excellent reason! I feel better about it already😀

I’m interested in the decree now ( Botox in a bottle did it for me too!) but still suffering from perioral dermatitis. Is it strong? I’m wondering whether to get one to put aside for when this ( hopefully!) finally disappears!

I’ve just spent £500 on theatre tickets, I’m having a very expensive day 😳

I’ve done the exact same! I’ve literally resisted all the offers, discounts and edits/boxes. I’m awaiting my bravery medal in the post any day now - the dark pull of a beauty bargain is real 🤣🤣🤣

It is!

Just remember it's the 1st of Feb tomorrow which means we're probably only about 5 months out from the first advent calendar reveal. 😂

Same here. And yes, there will be another 20% off sooner rather than later!

Well, everyone is so positive about the FTF “mystery” set that I got one too. Looking forward to the Botox effect 😁

Oooo what did you buy? I fancy being enabled 🤣 I bought one of the flamingo palettes with my birthday money and it's gorgeous! I got the dusk one with the gold one in. I don't think you'll regret it if you get it 😍

Ordered with a Neom candle to get free postage.

I bought a Lisa Eldridge liquid lurex eye shadow, erobrian centella red serum, and the new gisou lip mask just because it's so pretty & smells lovely. I actually went in to do a colour match for Lisa Eldridge seamless skin foundation, but none of the colours matched so I bought all the other stuff instead 😅

I got 2 🤣

@namechange0998776554799000 I keep looking at the Gisou lip mask, I do have the Tatcha one under the bed though that I really should use first. I also keep looking at the LE eyeshadows, which shade did you go for? And I bought some of the erborian cc redness cream. I've never used it before but the clinique one I've used for years is pilling 😩 it's not cheap either.

I've also just bought another FtF box 🙊 If they send it, I'm going to have 4 decrees in my stash (1 I already had and 3 from FtF). Oops! 😳

I think it's safe to say that I did not succeed with my no buy Jan 😂😂

https://uk.iherb.com/pr/iherb-exclusive-iherb-exclusive-korean-beauty-daily-glow-beauty-mask-pack-kit-11-piece-kit/156279

11 piece k beauty mask kit. 50% discount price of £17.21

I will have 4. You are definitely not alone in failing. Jan is miserable. Ive also ate more 🤣🥰

I find Feb more depressing, it's still dark and cold, but I don't have my birthday, so I might not do well on my no buy Feb either if that's the excuse we're going with 💁🏻‍♀️ To be honest, it was a bit ambitious, how can i possibly do no buy when I order my own presents? 🤣 I perhaps set myself up for a fail.

March it is, 2027 🤣

🤣

I already have Cressida and I bought Rosalie. Both gorgeous and another reason why I definitely don't need the chatecaille! I was wearing Cressida today and it lasted perfectly all day, no creasing.

I'm also a recent convert to tubing mascara and it's life changing - I bought the revolution one I saw recommended on another thread and it's amazing, didn't budge all day.

I've done well in some categories and not so well in others, so it's a mixed bag. Need to do much better next month, particularly in the random make up that catches my eye section.

The good:

I've ignored most edits, boxes and bundles since the Harrods Elemis AC at the start of the month.

I've not bought k beauty.

I've not bought any clothes, shoes or haircare.

I ignored the Liberty members week.

I haven't shopped the SNK 20% off.

I haven't bought perfume bar the mini in the edit below.

The bad:

I did the Roka Lucky dip again despite saying I wouldn't.

I bought the SNK valentine edit despite saying I wouldn't. I don't really regret this though because I wanted everything in it.

I've bought 3 lipsticks, Covergirl Olay foundation, 2 Maybelline mascaras, Nyx lip pencil, an under eye luminiser balm and a 2nd Viseart palette after I really liked the one I swapped with @MrsBnow12

I acquired, but were free with points, ABH Haze palette and Medik8 eye serum.

The Elemis AC - not the best start to a low buy year.

This is the info on Skin Rocks @26inprogress - it says it's good for sensitive skin?

I don’t think I’ve been too bad.

Clothes:
Sparkly top - Jigsaw £65
Jumper - mint velvet £60
Wedge boots - John Lewis £70

John Lewis edit - but sold 2 things - so only cost £10
Used the cult beauty 40% off code - £25 and the fragrance stocking £17
Lancôme mascara set £22
and ordered the mystery box today £30
Tatcha offer £110

= £409

Ah I was not good at all.

Will not write down again.
