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! 😂

For those who were following the advent threads -
Joma jewellery advent has dropped again this morning to £25.49 from £84.99

Selfridges had the Astrid Miyu ones down to £70 from £350 yesterday but wasn't quick enough to post it here.

That was quick! I'll try to get there next week and hope they have them in store still.

Happy Lunar New Year 🧧

This really pretty but I dont have pierced ears anymore so 🙄
Wouldn't want to buy if not able to use everything. 😂
I forget to put jewelery on tbh but great price x

Ah I wasn’t quick enough - stupid work.

@doglover I agree, shame if you cant use it all. I've actually bought a couple as gifts for teens. You don't get much for your money these days, but it looks like it would make a good gift.

The palettes are now available on Dior.com 💙 - I've tried a few promo codes but I can't find anything that works. Can any of you work your magic and find one for me please? 🙏

Appears the Cult Beauty edit with the Then I met You cleanser is launching tomorrow and price is set at £30.

Ooh I’ve been waiting for this one.

Me too!! I think at that price point it may sell out quicker than the last few CB edits.

Yes I think it might. I'd been talking myself out of it but if it is £30 I'll get it mostly for the cleanser.

Can't find one that works. I imagine it's rare that the Dior site has a working code, sorry.

They might arrive at other retailers in a week or two.

That CB edit is very tempting- but I am supposed to be reducing my stash, not adding to it 🙀

I have so many serums to use up already, (and, tbh, serum is a skincare step I often miss out). Ditto cleansers.

But a very good deal…

Oh dear - I have £10 credit at CB on my account - I may crack for £20!

@JoRaRaRa - it would never have occurred to me that those little denim pouches had resale/reuse value - how interesting!

That CB edit would be really good value at £30.

I’ve already broken my no buy on skincare today so I might as well keep going!

I used the Lancome Idole Cafe Crush palette from the holiday set today. The shadows are beautiful, applied really well, lasted really well and minimal creasing many hours later (which can be an issue with my eyes). I've enjoyed so much stuff from that holiday set, it really was one of my fave xmas purchases.

Dior always put a few samples in of that helps ? And the packaging is lovely.

Wow I wasn’t expecting the Jarrolds Mother’s Day edit to sell out so quickly - for once I got in early and purchased this morning.

@JoRaRaRa The Chanel palette is gorgeous!

I had a RAOK message from Face the Future and was a spin the wheel, I got a free product and had a choice of the following, I chose Dr Levy and only paid postage.

Ooh lucky. I got that email but only got 10% off a full price product. I won't be using it.

The Cult Beauty edit does look great value, but like @IlovePond I need to get through my stash rather than add to it 🤣 I'm hoping it sells out super fast so I don't crack.

I'm not sure if the Chanel pouches do have any resale value, I'll be keeping a close eye on vinted to see if they start springing up on there.

@OvaHere thank you for checking. I posted and then bought it 10 mins later, I couldn't stop myself 🙈

I've not used anything yet from the Lancome box, I keep meaning to try out the palette.

@BlueLimes yes, I was able to select some perfumes that I've been wanting to try out 🥰

@MrsBnow12 awww that is so cute and very nice of them!

I probably shouldn't buy the CB edit but not at all sure my resolve will hold.

You will definitely find a buyer for the Chanel pouch. I got a not very exciting Prada keychain gwp plus paper gift bag last year and got £10 for them.

@MrsBnow12 thanks for flagging, I wasn't going to bother doing the spin but your post made me try, I got the Dr Levy Fire and Snow free too. Was intrigued reading about it ages ago, so excited to try!

I gifted the palette to my niece for her birthday, but after all yhe reviews I've just picked one up on Vinted for £13 😊
