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! 😂

@MrsBnow12 SAVOOFTF10 was still working when I ordered a second box on the 5th.

@MrsBnow12 I’ve just tried it now and it says it isn’t valid for the items in my cart. I noticed they say under the description ‘All discount codes are excluded.’ I’m not sure if that’s new or not but it definitely worked on my last two orders.

I bought a couple on Vinted this week, good price too, cheaper than the FtF set. (Genuine and unused).

Always a bargain or two on there when ACs or box sets come out.

I've been lurking here for a while, but de-lurking to say you lot are a really bad influence! So far this year I've bought the CB fragrance stocking, the Molton Brown valentine's GWP (this one was not so exciting but a no-brainier as we use their refillable soap so just stocked up), the JL cracker and 2 x the Kate Somerville goat milk set (to get free postage). All thanks to this thread!

Oh, and new makeup in the Space NK 20% of sale, not that I actually wear much makeup but all the palette talk made me think I should.

I may need to step away from the thread....

You’re one of us now, there’s no turning back 😏😅

I've bought one off vinted too,but there are quite a few on at £60+ . do they tend to reduce them?

Guilty as charged I'm afraid. 😁

Welcome and I hope you enjoy your beauty bargains.

Thanks, I had a look and all too pricey for me. I sold the candle and avant so only paid £14 each in girl maths.
I ordered another two this morning.

The Decree I bought off Vinted was listed for £20 but she offered to sell for £18 so I snapped it up

Morning all.

Just to say - the Laneige moisturiser + 1 at LF someone posted above, goes down to £31.80 with code: 40PLUS

Lots of Curel in Boots £10 Tuesday for those of us who are fans.

John Lewis are doing 5 days of beauty with various offers 10-14th February. Today is 20% off Clinique

@Noshadelamp when I go to the rewards section on John Lewis there's early access to a Sisley GWP which includes the black rose mask. It's not clear what you have to spend to get it and it's the opposite of saving you money as you asked but thought I'd mention anyway 😆

Sephora have 40% off the Drunk Elephant suitcase. It's still £345 and I'm wondering how they're ever going to shift these given the brands big drop in popularity and that this suitcase gift was from Xmas 2024?

I think they would have to drop it to about £200 to finally shift them.

I ended up with 3 FtF mystery boxes. So I've now got 4 Decrees in my stash. If people are selling them for £60, I might buy a few more to sell 🤣🤣 I'm kidding, I actually cba with that!

I was finally invited to review some stuff from Cult Beauty today 😲 that's not happened for a while. I owe them 30 points so it'll be good to get those repaid.

@namechange0998776554799000 I can't see it on mine, not that I'll be getting anyway.

@OvaHere The reviews on that trunk aren't great, but some of them don't seem like they were written for that anyway. I think you're right though, I think it'll need to come down quite a bit more for it to sell.

I’m not sure. The prices vary wildly, I’ve seen them at £20 and an eye watering £70! It’s very much pot luck, if it’s expensive, I just won’t buy it.

In case anyone likes Curel (I do, dry skin) most of their bits at in £10 Tuesdays at Boots which is decent reduction. Apparently they feature often. Japanese brand, no actives.

Bah cult beauty have confirmed my edit and mask order has gone missing with evri. Wouldn’t exactly say they’ve pulled out to stops to dispatch the replacement order though annoyingly. I hope they do before the edit sells out. They were hardly apologetic either and I had to chase them. Honestly there are so few retailers with great customer service now!

Thank you for this. I thought last weeks looked exactly the same as the week before and yet again the same and no curel. Tried another browser and completely different items. Don't use link on home page, use offers section.

This happens all the time with £10 Tuesday. If you link directly via a browser it lists the wrong products - so if you add them to your basket they come up full price. If you go through the app you usually get to the right £10-T offers.

Face the future has a date night glow mystery bundle for £24.99

Anyone feeling like a spot of detective work ?

Although I do think - just tell us what it is !

They’d probably sell more.

45p Superman 🤣 face mask amongst the ransacked dregs of Boots 90% off. I will be disappointed if it isn’t in SM colours!

I also got Xmas bath bombs for £1 and a Caroline Gardner sleep mask and bag for £1.80. The CG sleep spray that should have been included had been stolen, but I went for the mask anyway.

Staff didn’t seem to care that most of what was left had been ripped open and half/all the contents stolen. I suppose it happens all the time, but it’s a bit sad!

Super sleuth @JoRaRaRa worked this one out a few days back. A friend ordered it and confirmed her findings.
i have marked the picture as sensitive in case someone is relying on the surprise element.

@MrsBnow12
thank you - not sure how I missed that with the amount of time so dedicate to think about beauty products.

I’d only be interested in 1 item, so not for me this time.
