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! 😂

I hope everyone enjoys the Zoeva eye pencils. The only downside is they keep bringing out more beautiful colours and it is hard to resist. I still regret not getting the aurora pearl before it sold out. They are a little bit of sparkly loveliness!

I saw this and assumed it wasn't the "proper" February TSV because there are no body products! I love getting the Elemis shower gels with a TSV as I'd never buy them otherwise.

I'm passing for that reason and also I have a barely used mini of the cleanser that I wasn't keen on.

I buy most Elemis TSVs so I'm already waiting for the next one now!

I think I've only seen the body products in the pre xmas one. I could be wrong though.

After the Harrods Elemis advent and the Elemis xmas TSV I won't be buying more Elemis forever for some time.

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️

Hope everyone has a lovely day today, regardless of what you are doing.

For me: The sun is shining AND it’s not raining ☔️ for the first time in what seems like forever!

I am going to live life on the edge today and wear mascara in honour of the occasion- I am liking the Clarins mini that I got from who knows where so that’s probably today’s choice.

Have a good one, everyone ❤️🌹

@Arrearing50 that's annoying - but there's 25% off all skincare ( and the rose glow stuff counts as that) at Chantecaille with the code LOVE at the moment if you need to replace it. I love that tint too, am dreading replacing it full-price. I replaced my Chantecaille foundation recently and that's now in a glass pot that makes me feel anxious every time I use it as I'm convinced I'll smash it on the bathroom tiles.

I'm going to an inflatable obstacle course at a swimming pool today, so no makeup for me 😆

Have a lovely Valentine's Day everyone

That sounds so cool @namechange0998776554799000 ❤️

@IlovePond @BlueLimes @OvaHere Thanks for your help with the CB codes.
I think I’m just being a bit tight, I want another Medik8 advanced peptides serum, but the cheapest I can get it down to is £62.50 - There are a few cheaper on Vinted but by the time you add fees & postage there’s not much of a saving, and with CB you earn points towards future purchases, so overall it works out about the same.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone ❤️🌹

@namechange0998776554799000 your day sounds awesome!

I’m still in my pyjamas doing washing and cleaning 😅

@Thelifeofawife I've one of those on my stash. Tell me why you love it- I’m trying to work out what to open next 😳

Thank you @LightandBreezy pint tints are so much more flattering on me than anything else. Love chantecaille but feel the fear too, prone to dropping when rushing!

my elder dd and friend when they were 8 smashed up a lovely chantecaille eye palette I’d just gotten 😂 ‘it’s ok mum won’t mind if we use her mal
up’ (which generally I don’t but…)

It’s hard to say really. My face feels fresher, I like how it smooths onto my face without feeling sticky or greasy and I do think it blurs my fine lines a bit, but I couldn’t say it’s far better than X, Y, Z.
I really should work through others serums in my stash, but I have a real urge to replace this one.
That was no help at all was it 😅

Do you have this one from the Liberty edit last year? I'm using this at the minute and really love it. I also can't totally explain why but it's really nice.

I've given my Cosmic Beauty haul a try today. The packaging is really beautiful and I'm enjoying trying the products.

I love the Ginger Snap lipstick. It's perfect for warm muted colouring but would look terrible on cool skin tones. I also like the Salem lipstick, this is also warm but quite dark and a bit more red/brown.

I haven't tried the lipliner or blush yet. The Nutmeg blush looks great for me but the Merry one is definitely too pink/cool. It looked like a warm coral on the image but it's really not. That one will need to be passed on (I haven't tried it).

The Undergrowth eyeshadow palette is gorgeous. Today I tried out Fungi and Swamp with Nettle as an eyeliner. I needed to use a bit more than I'd expected to get good coverage and it was a bit tricky to blend, but the colours are gorgeous and I'm very happy for the price. Tomorrow I'm going to try some of the matte shades (I'm sat today feeling very low energy - ME/CFS, in my joggers and hoody with sparkly eyes 😂).

Can't seem to upload the images, will try again on my phone.

Well, I keep trying to upload some images but they just won't attach. They're below the size limit but not by much so maybe that's the problem?

Love10 gives 10% off the mystery bundle with the decree serum.

Ive just tried the Love10 and didnt work for me. Maybe a blessing 🤣🤣

Sorry was on BD insta - I’ll look again!!

No, I haven’t had anything from Liberty. May be one to look out for though if it’s working for you.
I saw the Emma Lewisham products popping up a few times last year. I did wonder about the brand as I’ve not tried anything yet.
Similarly with Trinny London. Though I have had a few products and sold them on as they haven’t even appealed enough for me to try them.

I think it's even more expensive than MediK8 so probably best to just keep an eye out for it in edits or advents. I just thought you might have one in your stash if you were wondering what to try next to keep you away from the checkout button. 😄

It's the date night mystery bundle that has 10% off with LOVE10. The one with the rodial in 😊

Hearst Magazines has a discount up to 30% off their beauty boxes

@IDontHateRainbows Did you buy one with Amouage Guidance and said it was a really good box

Disappointed 🤣

Is there a code ? I can’t see the discount on the website - thanks.
