The CB edit is live. Code BDAY15 works to take it down to £25.50

That's a great box, I'd definitely consider it but I already own at least half the products 😆

Thank you for that, I've bought it with £5 account credit too so only £20. Bargain!

Brilliant. I'll earn £5 credit with the order so technically I got it for £20.

I was only 7 points away from an award, it's annoying that CB have shut down reviews so you can't earn points that way unless they send you a link (which they hardly ever do).

Don't forget to go through Top Cashback too 😊 Although, it doesn't always track especially if a code has been used 😕

I've bought the CB EDIT with a £15 gift voucher I earnt from the 40% off spree. I'm enjoying the cleansing balm now from Sali Hughes edit so happy to have another and everything else is new for me to try.

The John Lewis box looks good too, I'll get it if it ends up discounted. Think I said the same about the JL perfume box though and I bought that last week!

Overall the JL box is nice but there's nothing in it that interests me, which is good. The CB edit is quite enough for today. 😂

@OvaHere on the Lancome palette do you have any good videos? I find the glittery ones end up on my cheeks and lower eyelids which was a bit of a surprise in the office toilets. With all the palette chat, I went to look for other neutral ones but I think this one is good.

I'm looking forward to trying the cleansing balm. I've used Elemis for years and my face has often been red afterwards, but I assumed that was purely from double cleansing. Bought a really cheap cleansing balm with my beauty bay haul the other day and it's been so much better! That was a real eye opener and made me realise there are certain types of products I really don't need to be spending so much on

BDAY15 isn't working for me

I think they've restricted using promo codes with it. I've just tried that and a load of others with it and none are working now on the app or website. If you're not that desperate to get it, maybe wait a few days to see if you can use a code with it then? 😊

Thank you! Managed to order before it looks like code has been pulled.

I haven't bought it, I was faffing about looking at my points 🤣 I have £5 that I've just converted and need 17 for another £5 voucher. I'm not desperate for it, I just thought I'd get it if it was only £20, mainly because I want to try the Byoma toner and thought I could sell the cleanser to make back most of the money.

Oh annoying. Maybe they shut it down already. None of the other usual codes worked with it.

I'll send you the Byoma toner if you want it. This will be my 3rd one so I wasn't going to keep it. PM me if you'd like it.

HanBeauty on YT has a good try on video.

I have a few palettes that do that including this one. The key with those is to do eyeshadow before foundation and concealer. I'm not used to doing it that way but it minimises the cheek glitter. You can also try glitter glue - Nyx do one.

I used CAROLINESXCB and it gave me £1.50 off. Then used £10 credit so paid £18.50.

I use the toner and the cleansing balm anyway so am pretty happy!

What is in the new CB edit?

I had more or less decided last night that if a code worked, I would go for the CB edit and also use my credit.

However, I am miffed at the thought of paying more than people who ordered an hour ago.

It’s probably just as well, given how much stuff I have already.

Exactly how I feel !

Might get the MZskin from tkmaxx instead.

Can we talk Facial steamers please?

I’ve just returned from a spa break and I’m looking to buy a facial steamer and wondering if anyone has any recommendations.

Tempted by the Sarah Chapman one- but is it actually superior or just hype? The HoMedics one looks very similar, but looks can be deceiving! I like the idea of the Style Pro for the towel heating function but don’t want it to be a buy cheap buy twice if it’s a gimmicky failure. I’ve read so many reviews, I’d rather get some input from the RHOBAC as I know you’ll tell the truth!

We're very alike! 😅 I'm not buying it at full price on principle. I also don't need it.

I'm waiting for the Glossybox egg.

Also interested on the look fantastic egg. They have it behind glass do it must be amazing 😉
