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! 😂

Thank you @HolaLolla . Spent £125 so fast 🤣🙈 Patrick Ta is included, so I've splashed out on PT and gucci blushers, and got the free PT gift. Just the tote and blush, not fussed about a baseball hat 🤣

JoRaRaRa · 20/02/2026 13:08

The after dark edit is £25 with that code. I went back on and bought foundation and that edit. The code doesn't work with the new edit. It's surprising how quick you can burn through £200 🙈 I might even go back on and buy more 🤣

user593 · 20/02/2026 13:08

I feel like that code has to be a mistake right? I just bought Frederic Malle and Le Labo perfumes 40% off, and some backups Caudalie skincare. Thank you @HolaLolla!

Last time it was on, it only worked for a few hours, but I think everyone got their orders, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's pulled soon. So if there's anything else you want, get it now 🤣

user593 · 20/02/2026 13:26

@JoRaRaRa Oh I have 😅 Decided to stock up on the Aesop hand wash we use too.

I just tried it on some PT stuff and it doesn't seem to be working now.

Quite relieved it wasn't working tbh because I don't need PT stuff. I did get some Gucci Glow blushes though, that was too big a discount to ignore.

user593 · 20/02/2026 13:43

I’m grateful CB doesn’t sell that many brands that I like otherwise that could have been a disaster 🤣

OvaHere · 20/02/2026 13:46

Actually it does seem to be still working. It was just the PT bundle with freebies it didn't work on. I tried adding one PT item and it works on that.

I just need to walk away. They'll be a next time.

JoRaRaRa · 20/02/2026 13:47

@OvaHere it's still working on the additional PT stuff that I've put in my basket. I'm not going to check out though. I've spent enough. Maybe it's newer stuff it doesn't work on?

I bought PT 2 blushers, the PT bigger blush brush and the PT foundation. I thought I'd bought 2 gucci blushers, but seems I only added 1. Oh well. I'm not buying anything else, that credit card statement is at the back of my mind 🤣

I've done NDD with both of my orders but now I'm dreading my husband seeing it all 😳

Evergreen21 · 20/02/2026 13:48

Thank you @HolaLolla . I managed to get two of the after dark edits.

keepincool · 20/02/2026 13:51

Another big thank you to @HolaLolla - I managed to get the Sunday Espresso Martini Shower foam that was on my wish-list, some Nest perfume with a free Nest candle plus a free 5ml Who is Elijah perfume.

Then I went back and got an Erborian BB cream and a Vieve cream bronzer 😊

Any top recommendations before the offer is pulled?

The PT foundation is what I keep putting in and out of my basket and have for a few weeks. There's really mixed reviews on it, people love or hate it. Please report back on it. I've read it doesn't dry down enough and that's the reason I don't like the new ND one.

40% is a big discount but it's not a bargain if it's another foundation I abandon after a couple of wears. Problem with PT stuff is there's no IRL store to go test colours or formula.

I was going to buy some ghds but the 40% off is showing up as much less than 40% now. I hope those that ordered get their orders

Snap 😂😂 I would be in a lot more trouble if this was Liberty discount, they have more perfumes that I am after

MathsFiend · 20/02/2026 13:58

The 40% discount works on the CB advent calendar

user593 · 20/02/2026 14:00

@psuedocream3 I’ve had several shipping confirmations already so I think it will be okay!

OvaHere · 20/02/2026 14:04

I keep refreshing this thread hoping someone will say it's been pulled. It's plaguing my thoughts and I have shit to do. 😂

is that still available?

Addictedtobeauty · 20/02/2026 14:06

Thanks @HolaLolla . I bought the Sarah Chapman facial, hourglass foundation, veil and brushes to go with. Thrilled to get 40% off. I usually miss these flash sales due to work but not this time. Thank you 🤩

psuedocream3 · 20/02/2026 14:06

@OvaHere The discount value has been reduced now

I bought the concealer the other day and I thought that seemed really nice, brightening and hydrating as well as good coverage so I'm hoping the foundation is nice too. I've been wanting to try it, so I thought getting it at 40% off is a perfect time to try. I also bought the new hourglass one to try, I hope I don't end up abandoning them like I have with the no7 ones I've bought 🙈🤣
