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

[OvaHere]

New thread because we can't stop chit-chatting and failing our low buy resolutions.

Everyone welcome to join in, new and old alike. This thread is a bad influence zone though so be warned all who enter! 😂

Same….hmm if only there was a special day just round the corner!

Gosh @Arrearing50 what could you possibly be referring to? 😁

Does anyone know if there's something happening with Spectrum Collections? All of their brushes, collections and cleaning products are out of stock, although I did find one beauty blender that was available. They're not going under are they? I love their brushes.

For those who have bought both, and appreciating they’re different colours, would you pick the LE Betty Palette or D&G Ever Icon Palette? I’m not a big user of powder eye shadow and can barely justify one let alone both!

I really think the grow gorgeous intense serum works - the number of insane curly little baby hairs I have around my hairline making me look like I've been electrocuted every time I put my hair up are testament to it 😂 I also use the philip kingsley barrier serum the night before a hair wash as I find the grow gorgeous can be a little irritating if I use it too much, and I use a scalp massager with any serum to exfoliate and wake up my follicles

I'm being good and waiting for a liberty makeup discount before getting the Lisa Eldridge Betty palette 😇 she says... For now...

That's good to know - I've got the GG serum and mask and started using it last night.

I’m so pleased I’m not that bothered about palettes otherwise I’d be influenced by you as I was with the decree serum (and numerous other things….).
The Betty looks v lovely though.

There are a few Spectrum brush sets on TK Maxx website. And some Morphe eyeshadow palettes too. Probably not the ‘super cool’ ones you all prefer though but I’m not cool enough to judge 😊

I found a box of old lipsticks in the cupboard, so that's a load now in the bin. I used to wear the same Ciate lipgloss all the time, I just put it on and it's soooo drying on my lips, I can't believe I used to wear it and thought it looked good 🙈🤣

Well JL are clearly looking out for me as they've lost/damaged my order and have asked me to contact them to order a replacement/refund. Not quite why they wouldn't just automatically replace it.

Maybe I should take it as a sign and just get the refund...

There was some sets on TKmaxx the other day.

Edit- sorry I see @Sminty2 already posted that.

I am sure you will get different answers but I love Betty a bit more, they are all shimmers so bear that in mind. I think you can create more looks with Betty and can easily use some of the shades as a once and done as well.
There are a number of videos on YouTube of the looks you can create with both.

My Trinny elevator just arrived and there's a £10 off voucher in the box, valid until 15th March. Thought I'd mention in case anyone else who ordered misses it in the box.

Thank you @Sminty2 and @OvaHere . I think I might get some from TK Maxx, I like the cherry ones. It would be a shame if the company was struggling though.

It’s sold out on Liberty at the moment! 😩

Thank you! This sounds perhaps more usable to me than the D&G. I’m more of a wash of eye shadow and eye liner girl.

I'm going to disagree and say I like the D&G palettes a bit more. I still like Betty a lot but I find D&G easier to work with.

You can't go too wrong with either though and it does really depend on preference.

Thanks for the GG info @Willow742 and @keepincool

How are you using the mask @keepincool?

Do you just leave the PK barrier stuff in your hair overnight and wash it in the morning @Willow742? How often are you using g the GG stuff?

Thanks and sorry for all the questions.

@JoRaRaRa - you are definitely inspiring me to start chucking stuff tomorrow!

I think I might get some too. I’m very new to this beauty thing and genuinely don’t know what is good and what isn’t. My daughter does smile sometimes at my suggestions 😊

@JoRaRaRa - are you able to put your sleuthing skills to use? looks like a selection of perfumed products - so scent, body spray, candle products?

Mudmasky, Grum, Aromatherapy associates prob body oil, Ful hair conditioning spray

I'm seeing two scents and a candle?

I feel like I need to find more stuff to chuck now 🤣 I've got the decluttering bug, it won't last long though.
