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! 😂

Thanks for the AC links, I also just get the OOS page but that’s for the best! I managed to order a few things before the code stopped working. Got the Medicube wrapping mask that I’ve been wanting to try, the BoJ rice and honey mask and the Ordinary volufiline.

I've already had something from relay saying they're expecting my package 👀

So have I!

dc82 · 20/02/2026 16:36

Well done to everyone that managed to grab a bargain! 🙌 I was working away and missed it, I knew I’d missed something when the thread jumped by 3 pages 😂😂😂

Huh, I didn't think BoJ was included, must have just picked the wrong products :)

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

Sorry for late reply. Yes I have the coral. Not usually a peachy sort of person but I think it's beautiful. Def going to be a summer fave.

I've been collecting them here and there when I've found a working discount code. Now thanks to @HolaLolla I have the full set. Very indulgent to have a full set but they really are good (imo of course, I realise tastes vary but I've not seen anyone review them badly)

What shades do you use?
Ill look out in the future or add onto a gwp order.
Im fair wit rosacea so avoid pink. X

I'm also fair with rosacea although it's well under control at the min. I love a pink blush but I do have a cool/neutral undertone so maybe that makes a difference.

Seeing as you're avoiding pink I'd say Coral and Plum. I know the Plum looks scary but it's really gorgeous and quite a unique colour.

I found that the 40% didn’t work on things that were already reduced, and also not on things they have marked as “new in”.

ClutteredPalace · 20/02/2026 16:53

Not sure if I'm glad or not that I missed the CB discount. Looking on the bright side, it saved me some money and there isnt anything I desperately want at the moment. I did get my Glossybox mothers day edit today, it looks better in real life than it does on the website and has some nice fruity scents in it so I dont feel totally left out 😊

Ah that might have been it, I think I looked at some 'new in' eye patches.

Anyway, I'm supposed to be shopping my stash so it's just as well, really!

OvaHere · 20/02/2026 16:55

I see you all went cray cray with Advents whilst I went to get some work done.

I'm almost feeling virtuous with my one order. 😇😂

I bought the remaining two Gucci Glow blushes I don't own. Warm Peach and Bright Pink. I probably would have skipped these two without the massive discount but I love the formula so why not?

I also bought 2 of the other more matte Gucci blushes to try as they are supposed to be nice too.

My blush obsession is hopeless. 😳

I missed it last time round and was both relieved and struck with FOMO. 😂

IlovePond · 20/02/2026 17:00

I was out and missed all the excitement, (I saw the code but it didn’t work on the £30 edit so I gave up, not realising it was 40% off other stuff).

I bought a facemask from Oseyo for £1.45 instead 🤣

OvaHere · 20/02/2026 17:01

@LoveLabradors just realised I didn't fully answer your question. Yes I do like them more than YSL. But YSL blushes are very good, it's just that these are that bit extra special.

I hope everyone else doesn't hate them now otherwise I'm going to look like an idiot. 😂

Such restraint Flowers

Doglover73 · 20/02/2026 17:03

Classic showing as in stock for me now. Bit late 🤩

OvaHere · 20/02/2026 17:06

So glad I missed the Advent chat. I don't need that temptation in my life.

We're nearly at the end of this thread again - didn't I only start it very recently? 😱

https://www.lookfantastic.com/c/brands/morphe/brushes/

21% of Morphe brushes with code BDLF. Wasn't someone looking for a decent code on these recently?

It seems we're all able to resist this offer (aka we're all skint now) 💁🏻‍♀️

I might wait until next time CB proper f up and we get our hands on a 40% off code 🤣 I did try the big bag of brushes (the £85 ones) and the new medik8 serum but neither of them were reduced with the code.

user593 · 20/02/2026 17:39

I couldn’t get Medik8 or the BoF eye patch’s to reduce either but it’s probably just as well! I bought enough! I’m going to have to go out and try and test Frederic Malle Portrait of Lady now before I open it. I’ve heard good things and panic bought it but I’ve never actually smelt it.

Willow742 · 20/02/2026 17:45

JoRaRaRa · 20/02/2026 16:13

£144.

I'm not sure what's happening with mine, I've now had yet another confirmation with it back on again 🙈🤣

Mine did the same, PayPal credit is showing them as two separate transactions - maybe different warehouses, or they just need to ship the advent calendar alone given its size?

Willow742 · 20/02/2026 17:49

Well I think we have a contender for best bargain of the year so far if these cult beauty orders come through 🙌 it was only the other day we were saying there hadn't been anything amazing in a while

I was looking for a code but managed to get a genuine brand new set of 16, with make-up bag, on Vinted 😊

It's nice. It's only FM perfume I've tried that I liked enough to buy (just a travel size)

Me too 😂

JoRaRaRa · 20/02/2026 15:48

Yep! I hope they all come from the same courier. I'm out tomorrow, so my husband will be accepting the deliveries 🙈 I'm sure to get an annoyed message, I'll share it on here if I do 🤣

We are assuming that we will get our orders 🤣

Mine were despatched to relay within 30 mins so will see. Says its on its way x
