Beauty chat - freebies/gifts with purchase/offers THREAD TEN

[OvaHere]

We set a record with the last thread. Just 2 weeks from start to finish!!!!

So here's the new one and we're now in double digits.

As always everyone is welcome to join even if you've just been lurking, but like those kids on the back of the school bus your Mum warned you about, we are a bad influence.... 😈

That is such a good idea!

What did you buy from CB? A new handbag is a necessity though 🤣

My credit card is with virgin, we both put all our spending on it and collect points through it which we then put towards holidays. I'm currently saving the points for a Christmas trip to New York next year. It gets paid in full every month but I've not been too good with self restraint / discipline recently so the amount owed each month has been creeping 🙈

Ha!! This will be us soon too. Our dog has been struggling to stomach her medication after her op, so we've had to move her onto some expensive food from the vets. So she'll be on that and me and the husband will be on jam sarnies 🤣

🩷 We all need to treat ourselves for our birthdays.

Even if we have treated ourselves loads all year round too 💁🏻‍♀️🤣

I feel like it's the only time we can really justify it, and it's the only time my husband doesn't give me the look 🤣

I got the ritual edit, arctic rose Gucci blush, BoJ rice and honey mask and some toiletries (toothpaste & shower foam) to take me over the £100 spend.
I mainly wanted the medik8 tetra C from the GWP.

Trust me, I definitely don’t need any more handbags, especially Mulberry ones 😅 But, I do plan to sell one of my others, so this makes it a bit more justified.

That’s a good idea regarding the credit card - I just don’t trust myself 🙈
New York has been on my bucket list for some time. I will get there soon enough (if I stop spending money 😅). I’ve been focusing on concerts, handbags and beauty purchases the past couple of years, and home improvements but that’s boring 😅

Can’t knock a good jam sarnie 😋

Who is still putting things in and out of a Cult Beauty basket at this late hour?

Not me. Not at all. 😂

Looks like you can get a further discount using the 25% off code now. More reason to buy another serum to add to your collection! 😁

Which code is that?

Code is AFFCNY

The code doesn’t work on Medik8 unfortunately otherwise I’d be putting in an order!

Code AFFCNY takes 25% off and you also get the gwp if over £100

Code doesn’t work for me sadly (maybe wisely).

ignore- added 3rd item now works, so maybe minimum spend .

I noticed that it didn’t work on Medik8 which is a shame. Seemed to work for most other things I tried though

Seemed to work for me on a Byredo fragrance. Also tried with the Bioeffect serum and worked with that

Now trying to stop myself making a purchase 😁

Thanks. I've now cracked. 😁

I didn't buy Bioeffect in the end. It might appear in more edits later in the year.

I bought the Vyrao Ludatrix perfume I nearly bought in the last SNK sale. Came to £101 with code then I had £5 credit so I got the perfume and GWP for under £100.

I wasn't going to buy more perfume but oh well. I really like this one.

Ooo I need to become best mates with you, maybe you'll let me have a mulberry bag at mates rates 🤣

We've been to new york twice, both times before covid, in September and October but we were so rushed to see everything. I'd like to see it all dressed up for Christmas 😍

Ive cracked too and bought a byredo fragrance, in my defense I will sell the goodies from the gwp and probably recoup £100 plus I used £5 credit which means the byredo is practically free!! Or certainly by my math's maybe £30 tops once fees etc accounted for which is still bloody amazing

Did you get Alto Astral?

I did... very naughty of me but I thought it is on my list so if i can make the £££ work...

Excellent. It's a very unique scent IMO so I'm sure you won't regret it.

I just used the Byoma peel off mask for the first time - very satisfying! Had to use quite a lot of product though. If it doesn’t break me out I can see it being a repeat purchase.

Miracle of all miracles my TCB has tracked on CB too so got a fiver back there as well.

I've got the BoJ Honey and Rice mask on tonight. I think it might be my favourite. I just wish the jar had a wider opening, it's a bit of a pain once you've used about half of it.
