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 did the same, fortunately for my bank balance I got there after you 😂

I do love the Loveshine in Nude Lavalliere so I'm sure I'd like the blush too, but I've been saved this time - I don't need any more blushes 🤦🏻‍♀️

Just spotted there's a new scent edit on its way at cult beauty - I like the look of this one

HoF fragrance cracker back in stock ladies

Im resisting. Need to shop my stash. I can't remember what I've actually got so it will be a nice surprise 😂😍
I recall keeping a lip gloss from estee lauder blockbuster set x

None of those excite me unfortunately!

@OvaHere That colour is gorgeous! 💖 I did see the range but didn’t properly look as I was just trying to find something cheap-ish to take me to free delivery. I wish I’d had a proper look now as I think that one would really suit me!
I will have a look closer to my birthday, see if I can find a discount somewhere.

@MrsBnow12 I recently bought the YSL blush in Restless Rose, the texture is lovely and it lasts all day! The colour is also lovely but has a coral tint so I feel it’s more spring/summer (though I’ve worn it every day since it arrived!)
I feel like the Nude Lavalliere will be more suited to this time of year.

@LoveLabradors Sorry for being an enabler 😁 It does look like a lovely shade though, I’m sure we won’t be disappointed.

@Doglover73 I previously got the ‘feeling nude’ one for myself and the ‘pink irresistible’ for my DSis - these are both pink shades. This time I’ve gone for ‘milky nude’ which is more of a pinky/brown shade, simply because I think it will still suit me and it was the only shade on offer - I just wanted to spend enough to get free delivery.

I am still weighing up the CB edit and the JL box, but I think I’ll sleep on it 😇

Thanks! It’s the mascara and eyeliner for sure that is most stubborn!

@Willow742 Debenhams the nude lavalliere (and some others) on offer at £32.25…but I went with Escentuals because I had credit on there as well.

Sorry, if I’m going down I’m taking everyone with me 🤣🤣

@Doglover73 That made me laugh! It’s also a surprise for me when I go through my stash, it’s like I’ve just walked into Sephora 😅

I also use black liquid eyeliner and lots of black mascara, plus sparkly eyeshadow 🥰 I use Estée lauders wipe it away make up remover, it's more of a cream so I can use my fingers to massage my eyes to get it all off, then use a cotton pad to wipe it. I then use Eve Lom's cleansing balm, but I think most cleansing balms will do the trick, that's just my favourite one! I was following that with a foam cleanser but I've just switched to a cream cleanser due to dry skin. Is that classed as a triple cleanse? I'm not sure anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️

Nope, I'm not excited either 😕 I guess it depends on the price, but I feel like it's similar to the gwp from the end of last year. There's also not many kayali perfumes that I like. I have liked all of the discotheque perfumes I've tried, so I wouldn't mind adding the that collection 🤔

@Thelifeofawife the Loveshine in that shade is often on sale somewhere. I think I picked it up in a set with a mascara in one of the Debenhams sales for under £20.

I'll be passing too. I own or have tried samples of many at some point. Another relief for my wallet. I think it's a nice edit for someone who hasn't tried them. I'm guessing the price will be around £40 ish?

Thank you. I’m too impatient, after you mentioning the set I googled it and picked up a set from LF with 22% off. The mascara looks good as well from the reviews so I’m happy with that.
There was me thinking the late night impulse spending would be on one of the edits we talked about today 😅

I probably should say sorry for being a bad influence but it's a lovely formula. I hope you like it.

Just to be a further bad influence I spotted earlier Cult Beauty have all the colours of the Gucci Glow blush back in stock. I think at least one or two posters were looking for them.

I was looking at trying the gucci blushers, the arctic rose was calling me, but I went with the ysl babydoll pink instead. That was too light for me, so I might try to get to a store to sample the gucci. I've heard that they're a lot less pigmented then the ysl and you have to build them up so might be good for people who want a light touch of colour 😊

The Lisa Eldridge Betty eyeshadow palette is back in stock at Liberty 😻 Go all buy it! I need it to be sold out so I don't think about buying it 🤣 Go go go!

You can get 25% off the YSL Nude Lavallier blusher and High Shine at Boots - plus any points (I got £5 worth) plus 7% cashback via the Klarna App. Use code TREAT25.

They have a TREAT20 offer for 20% off, but the 25% one worked for me.

Just wondering if people on the thread will be easy to spot out and about with our blue eyeshadow, Zoeva lined eyes, YSL blusher and highshine sparkly lips 😁

I like the look of that, I'm more interested in scents than skincare and make up. I did recently throw out all my make up as it was old, cheap and I didnt enjoy using it though. I'm now trying to build a collection I might actually wear. It's tricky as I'm in the middle of nowhere so rarely get to see things without ordering them. Perfume is a safer bet. This thread has been invaluable for getting recommendations although it's also proving expensive to read 😂

I bought the nude lavelliere blush a week or so ago when it was last mentioned on here (from LF with 25% off). It's a lovely colour, a bit too pigmented for me though - I need to apply with a light hand

We are a cult 😅

My Jarrolds order arrived this morning via a local shop owner. Apparently the courier asked to leave it with them yesterday, but they left no card to tell me this, and had just given it to him in the street. Lucky for me that I know him and he brought it round for me.

I’m not impressed with the courier at all. But I am impressed that Jarrolds arranged next day delivery

Cult beauty edit is arriving today!

@Thelifeofawife

Ive just checked my order online. I got milky nude gloss and black as well. I remember being put off trying as th other is do pink.
Are they more nudey/brown. Thanks ♥️

So strange the jarrolds MD edit sold out so fast. I did get a 20% off code for my birthday which I used to get another beauty box from them and also added a molton and brown fragrance to get it over the threshold for free delivery. So its worth signing up to loyalty and putting your birthday in.
