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! 😂

The ysl are very pigmented and I dont like blush really but then look bland when I apply it. I need to be braver and wear more just not rose colors.
I've remembered I have these that I bought last year. Impulse ofcourse so will shop them. Ive looked at the ysl mentioned in the future. Getting the wrong shade puts me off as expensive.

It was clearly meant to be with you. 😂😍
That's ridiculous though. Some of these delivery drivers are unreal.
Our evri lady is brill. And she loves our dogs as well. 😂😍
I know its unusual but we've never had a problem with evri.

Beauty Bay has gone offline. Appears they have gone into administration.

I haven't either but I've also known our local delivery person for years, outside of them being an Evri driver. Upside is my parcels are always delivered or hidden safely if not in. Downside I get slightly embarrassed when I have a run of clearly beauty related parcels. 😳😂

Oh no! Bought my haul just in time. Explains why everything I got was so cheap!

This is available now.

I'm resisting this one so far, as nothing really grabs my attention. Also, I bought the CB Rituals Edit yesterday, which arrives today (hopefully)!

Odd - I ordered the LF advent calendar, and I've just had a message saying despatch is delayed. If I log on to my account nothing is visible, no orders past or present. Looks like there's a problem....

I’ve emails today from:

Vieve - free eye palette with £55 purchase

Harvey Nichols - free perfume gift with £175 purchase.

(sorry, am typing quickly at work so haven’t done links).

I've never bought anything from them but it's very sad. I feel like we've had a few casualties recently, Ren, Pat Mcgrath (although that looks like it'll be saved 🤞) and now Beauty Bay. Plus we're not sure what's happening with Sana Jardin.

That’s such a shame about Beauty Bay, I love their eyeshadow palettes.

It's nice but not tempting enough to spend £175. I think you could make a decent amount selling off the minis to offset the purchase. I can't be bothered with that right now though.

SNK make up GWP coming soon

Oooh, I could find a home for most of that, except the By Terry serum which looks a bit dark for me.

It's a nice one. Don't think it will be a low spend though, maybe £80 +

It look ok. Im sick of seeing wa black eye liner and fenty mascara though.
The wa was awful on me. Its been in so many edits.
Will see what price it is 😂

I love safran secret, tempted to get it for that alone, although I guess people will be selling them in time.

Our Evri delivery driver is absolutely lovely too and so reliable. Any problems I’ve ever had with Evri seem to be long before that stage - at the warehouse. Yodel are probably the worst and dhl just dump parcels too.

Oof. Got my Beauty Bay order just in time last week then.

Why was the WA eyeliner awful? I've got one which I've not opened, I've been wondering if I should sell it, I've got so many black pencil liners but I tend to use liquid liner.

I don't think I'm tempted by any of the gwps. I think if I could buy the HN perfume one for £40ish, then I probably would, but I don't want to spend anymore money. I actually saw my credit card statement last night and my eyes nearly popped out of my head 👀 🤣

I’ve had an email from Code8 - free lipstick and little red pouch on a £45 spend. I love the eyebrow pencil and have a lipstick from them.

@JoRaRaRa @Doglover73 I was really
unimpressed by the WA eye pencil, one of worst I’ve used. On the other hand I really
like the Fenty mascara, have been happier with that than the super expensive chantecaille one!

I used the Chanel 19 denim dream palette today 💙 I started to feel a bit of buyer’s remorse last night after seeing my credit card statement 👀

Buttt I think it's really lovely 😍 the colours are so beautiful on the eyes and they're so soft and flattering.

The grey is very shimmery and very sheer. I've used it today in the inner corners and under the brow, and it gives such a pretty sparkle but I think it’ll also be amazing eyeshadow topper over the centre of the lid for extra va va voom (might try that tomorrow) ✨

The pink is really flattering (I may have gone a little OTT today but it’s fine 🤣), I wasn't sure how well this would show up on my skin tone, but I'm so impressed with it. It also stops the blues from feeling too cool. The light blue is soft and delicate, I would've loved it to be slightly deeper, but it’s still lovely. And the navy is gorgeous, it smudges really well so it looks nice smudged out on the outer corners.

I think it'll look really nice mixed with the Dior one and I've got a few more looks in my head that I'm going to try out over the next few days. No more buyers remorse 💞

It's now available on John Lewis, Harvey Nicks and Sephora 😁
