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! 😂

That's a lot of products, but I'm always up for a challenge 🧐

Thank you. I’ve finally ordered the Spectrum Malachite brush set, that’s the cheapest I’ve seen it.

Who is that from @keepincool?

@Sminty2 thanks for sharing the TK Maxx info! I bought the 9 bronze palette a while back. It’s lovely, & I would use it more if I didn’t love the Rose one so much. On reflection I think some of the tones are more yellowy (like the Python palette) and also a bit darker than I use for daytime: it’s definitely good for evening / parties.

My JL replacement Rejuvenate box arrived today. They clearly took my feedback on board: it was massively bubble wrapped inside the outer box, and wasn’t sealed, as though someone had double checked the contents before shipping. Not much more packaging inside but less scrunched up. And nothing broken. @BookShark I really hope you get it sorted. I found the support team to be really responsive once I raised a complaint. Good luck!

@JoRaRaRa I’m so impressed by your clear out. I had a really big clear a while back, but it’s probably longer ago than I had realised & I’m heading back into overflow & chaos. And it doesn’t make me happy. Might need to take a leaf out of your book when I’m back in March. There are way too many old lipsticks etc in my drawers.

Massive thanks to everyone who advised on Morphe brushes - and for the LF links & codes. The enablement on this group is seriously next level! The set I really like (7 full size brushes, face & eyes) for £40 isn’t in the promo so I’m going to keep an eye out for it over the next few weeks. If anyone sees it on offer, please do let me know! In the meantime, I’m giving the travel set the side eye right now: the only thing holding me back is that I don’t think it will arrive by Saturday, and I’m heading off on Sunday morning.

I actually decided against the morphe brushes in the end and bought these instead 🤷‍♀️

The bag is nice but I don't think any of us need anymore Elemis 🤭

This looks like a lovely set of brushes

I nearly bought those last month. Hope you like them.

@Fillybuster Thank you for the recommendation. I’ve ordered one to experiment with.

The fragrance could be a Sentier one going by the shape.

Will be skipping x

That's not a scents box. And I got Sentier from LiB and they were really poor.

@namechange0998776554799000 I have had those brushes in my basket for a couple of weeks, I keep changing my mind 🙈

I’ve been wondering if they were closing down for a few weeks now. They’ve had a sale since November and virtually the entire collection was in it, but they were still showing a decent amount as in stock up until a few days ago. Can’t find any rumours they’re in trouble and the website blog was last updated on 23rd Jan. It’s a mystery!

Clinique has discontinued my absolute basic, standard, HG everyday comfortable lip product that I use in all situations before I figure out what else to put on — Chubby Stick in Super Strawberry 🥺🪦💔

I have just bought three of them on allbeauty (eta: at a good discount, so that’s probably where to go if anyone else is looking). Woe, though

its so annoying when they do that. I had a perfect red blue toned lipstick I used for nights out from Clinique. I’ve tried to colour match so many times with no luck. Luckily I don’t go clubbing anymore (it’s that old!). I’d still wear at Christmas though if I ever found it again (sob!).

Clearly someone up above is looking out for me 🤣

Yeah I massage it in then leave it overnight - the PK one makes my hair look greasy so I can't use it if I'm not washing the next morning. The GG one is thin and dries quickly though so I don't have the same issue with that making me look super greasy (although I use dry shampoo if I don't wash my hair anyway). I use the GG one probably 3-4 times a week (sometimes as little as twice) and I'm getting good results 😊 i mostly use it around my hairline and my hairdresser has commented on how much more hair I have at the front, so something must have been working 🙌

I just bought it with 10% off from the LE website 😮‍💨

I think the £40 set is 20% off too if you use the code 'TREAT'

@Willow742 , I haven'tstarted the mask yet, just the serum. I think I'll use the mask tomorrow (I'm lucky in that I don't need to wash my hair every day). I've also had some Rosemary hair products in edits recently, so trying to use just one product at a time, but it's very tempting to try everything at once!

I haven't tried the mask so would be interested in your review 😊 I've started really taking care of my hair with serums/oils/masks etc over the last 6 months and have found it looks and feels much nicer

@Peachbubble @SheilaFentiman I’m a bit late to the party but keep thinking about the Lumene AC. I don’t seem to be getting the new customer offer of £9 discount though, did it come through on email or was it automatically applied?

When I opened the website it knew I was “new” and gave me a chance to sign up for the newsletter which also gave me a code.

I did have to open it in incognito mode as I had shut down the pop up in “normal” mode and couldn’t get it to come back 😀

@SheilaFentiman Thank you. I did sign up for the newsletter when I registered but perhaps it only works if you do it through the pop up, which I don’t recall seeing.
I’ll hold off to see if anything comes through on email.
It’s still a good price but I’m stubborn and won’t buy if I don’t get the extra discount knowing that others got it 😅

I've just started using the PK overnight serum too, I've only used it twice so far so it's not early enough to tell if it's working. I also don't wash my hair every day, in fact, I try to go as long as possible between washing it, usually 3 or 4 days if I'm not going out anywhere. I've started using champo on the other nights, so I'm hoping I see some good results 🤞
