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! 😂

That's disappointing, I've been impressed with the westman Atelier products I've used so far so I had high hopes for it.

@LoveLabradors oh no, don't say that about the chantecaille mascara, I have one upstairs that I've been looking forward to trying 🙈

I've succumbed to the Style Korean Girls Therapy box as I was able to get it for $50 - I'm obsessed with that site! Also picked up a honey lip balm for $1, another by jucci cleanser, a d'Alba white truffle spray serum that gets good reviews, a box of Medicube zero pore pads, a pack of perfume powder sheets that "will deliver an instant cooling effect with a delicate fragrance, leaving skin clean and scented" (for when the weather gets better), a free keyring (which I think is a mini hairbrush and mirror one) and some samples of Growus damage therapy treatment for hair - it was £77 including tax.

Dopamine hit for the day sorted 😊

@keepincool the d'Alba truffle spray is nice. I've used a few of them.

It ran on me. Tried different ways to use it powderd etc. Just wasnt for me. I waiting to find my hildun order to try the eye liners I bought. 😂
I hid it well.
Its been in a fair few things. It take ages for me to finish eye liners. Although I do forget to apply.

I dont like the chantecaille either. 😂
Ive gone back to blinc tubing mascara as one of the best for me x

@keepincool
Im trying to resist although the value is good I have so much to use.
Has anyone tried the needle shot. Good reviews but not sure my sensitive skin could handle it.
Im using the decree serum atm and the medik 8 advanced peptides and a trilogy cream for redness i got from tkmaxx a few weeks ago.
Need to find the zelens cream from ch kit a bit back and try it.

Ditto 😂
Last of vets bill on as well so trying to be good and sell some stuff ♥️

I’ve been using the Zelens once a week at night - it’s nice, but for the price, I was expecting to wake up 20 years younger 😹

I now have £15 of CB reward points, but am resisting the edit as still grumpy about missing out on the discount.

I wonder if it will sell out - I don’t know how excited people generally get about cleansers and serums 🤷‍♀️ - we shall see!

Meanwhile, I am annoyed to discover that the LE sparkly lipstick dries out my lips AND doesn’t stay put. This is particularly galling, as I ended up buying two shades 🙀

My CB Rituals edit has just arrived! My Evri delivery lady always throws my parcels into the porch (probably because she's cheesed off at delivering here everyday!) and then when I opened the outer cardboard box, the CB packer had put the edit in upside down. Luckily, nothing's damaged! It all looks very nice, some new items, some I've used before.

Nooooo!! What was wrong with the chantecaille mascara? 😱

I might just sell the WA eyeliner then. I'm not that fussed about it. It'll probably take me years to get to it 🤣

🤣🤣 I think my evri lady is close to becoming my BBF!

@JoRaRaRa
It gave me panda eys. I do think im the exception to the rule as loads of people love it but 😂
A reason I should not be a sheep and order everything recommended 😂

@Doglover73 I dont think I've ever used an eyeliner I haven't had to set with a lot of eyeshadow and even then I end up a bit panda-y. I wish my hand was steady enough for liquid eyeliner but I invariably end up with one good eye and one wonky one 😅

Up for the SNK, looking at previous GWP for makeup they set a min of £75 and items were same number and roughly same value.

Pics of the new WA tinted lip balm $50 look lovely though. https://www.reddit.com/r/newinbeauty/comments/1r3eci7/westman_atelier_hydrobalm_sheer_tinted_lipstick/

Mine has just arrived, upside down as well. All looks good though and it's in a nice sturdy box, I'm impressed for the price

Mine arrived about an hour ago. Was also upside down. 😂

Someone's been having fun in the warehouse 🤣🤣

Sigh. Mine was meant to be delivered at lunchtime and surprise it’s gone awol AGAIN 😡.

Speaking of MW- Where the heck have I put my Mirror Water from the Liberty calendar? I had forgotten about it completely until @keepincool mentioned the Boots box 🙀

Note to self: This is why I mustn’t buy even more stuff 🙈
