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 discount code is still working for me on the app.

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 🙈🤣

I don't know why I've going back and forth on it forever when other stuff I just impulsively buy. I would have bought the concealer if that was inc in the discount.

It's probably because I have three go to foundations/tints that work solidly for me every time and are a good shade match so I have no need to try another. It's that little voice in my head that keeps whispering that maybe this one will be the ultimate holy grail base. It's ridiculous. 😂😳

It was working for me just now.

Step back from cult beauty. 😂
I had some davines hair stuff in basket waiting for gwp so bought them straight away incase it was pulled.

In my defence I missed it last time.

I looked at gucci blush but look too bold for me.
I got some other stuff. 😍

LoveLabradors · 20/02/2026 14:30

I’ve resisted as I can’t trust CB to actually deliver orders now. Plus after my Escentual splurge that’s it now. Glad for everyone who got some great bargains!

SheilaFentiman · 20/02/2026 14:31

I think it’s bundles that the code doesn’t like - Gisou products get a discount but not a Gisou set

The Gucci blushes are not bold at all. I know they look it in the pan but i'm very pale. They're really subtle and buildable. Possibly my favourite formula ever and they have stiff competition.

The 40% discount works on the CB advent calendar

Oh my

LoveLabradors · 20/02/2026 14:46

@OvaHere Do you consider them better than the ysl ones please? And have you tried fresh coral? Thanks ☺️

LoveLabradors · 20/02/2026 14:47

I don’t know why I faff about with blushes and lip products when all I actually need is a good new foundation. I loathe buying foundation as it’s so easy to get wrong 😑.

BlueLimes · 20/02/2026 14:57

Thank you so much @HolaLolla i just ordered a a gucci blush.

Purchased before I saw @OvaHere review. Now I’m very excited 😊

pinkchampagne1 · 20/02/2026 15:02

Trying to resist temptation with the 40% CB code. I really don’t need more skincare! Did search for the advent calendar but it is showing as out of stock

MrsBnow12 · 20/02/2026 15:03

This thread is brutal for your credit card, I have placed 4 orders today, including the advent calendar, Gucci blush, Laura Mercier foundation balm, ND palette and Ouai mists.
Thank you to who highlighted the code was working

Hicupping · 20/02/2026 15:07

Included in 40%
Erborian cleansers
Erborian CC red kit
Ouai mists
Byoma rice cleanser
2 edits after dark and the one with allies cleanser
So I'm now £175 poorer. I got all the mists.

Hicupping · 20/02/2026 15:07

Youth to the people cleanser too but I didn't buy.

ElizabethG81 · 20/02/2026 15:17

Can anyone who can see the AC as in stock post a link?

MrsBnow12 · 20/02/2026 15:20

It is now showing out of stock via the link I used earlier - I had it saved in my wishlist.

Willow742 · 20/02/2026 15:22

Got the advent calendar, the ND concealer and new CT concealer (hoping I've got the right shades...), and amika shield

Someone please arrest me 👮

Oh god I also got the Danessa Myricks eyestick in shade 2!

HolaLolla · 20/02/2026 15:24

On a non CB note, HN just emailed to say the perfume I ordered is out of stock (knew there was a slim chance of getting it as it has been discontinued) however the rest of my order is being processed as normal. The rest of the order was their GWP, does that mean they will still be sending it out 😂😂 ?

Motnight · 20/02/2026 15:27

@HolaLolla thank you. Ordered by dh some Aesop stuff that he likes and me the Eroboian BB creme which I know I love.

LouScot · 20/02/2026 15:33

Grr, took too long and things that were discounted are now back up, saying offernis not active. Oh well, well done to everyone who managed to use it!

pinkchampagne1 · 20/02/2026 15:33

Advent still showing as out of stock. Probably for the best!

Peachbubble · 20/02/2026 15:33

Ooops, I also seem to have ordered from CB with the 40% discount 😁
All hair stuff, as I have enough skincare products to last me for about the next 25 years!
Luckily, they don't stock Tatcha, otherwise that would be a whole different story 😂

JoRaRaRa · 20/02/2026 15:34

Oh wow! I've now purchased the advent calendar, Gisou hair mask and a small Charlotte tilbury to try that too. Oh well! I'll probably try to sell some of the AC stuff, although I don't think it's selling on vinted now. Today has been an expensive day 🤣 I thought this month would be the first since July that I've not bought an AC 🙈

It said that to me, i got to the payment screen and it had jumped up, luckily I saw it before I pressed to buy it. I added it back on, it took 3 attempts but it did go through with 40% off. (I hope) 🤞
