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.... 😈

What I do find strange about these CB listings is that they don’t list the individual items to boost the listing. Some do list the brands but not the items, some just say ‘6 items’
I wonder if they’ve fallen off the back of a truck - because even people selling fakes would list whatever it says on the labels

We haven't got them yet. They might turn out to be a bunch of odd socks in a box! 😂

Can anyone recommend a high SPF sunscreen to go under makeup/ wear with no makeup? I had a Thank You Farmer one somewhere which I liked but I see to have misplaced it! Off to Thailand in a month and using vit c and retinol so really can’t be without one. I liked the Thank You Farmer one but wondering if there’s something better.

This is my theory, they are still selling gwp’s from last year, I reckon it could be a few trucks Smile

Yeah that's my theory. The listing is vague. I couldn't find it by searching CB edit or variations on that. Which is what you'd do if you didn't want CB to happen on it or it be reported.

At this rate it looks like I'll get the back of the lorry version before the one from CB. That seems to have gone AWOL along with my perfume.

I like the BoJ or Skin1004 k beauty spf 50 also like La Roche Posay.

The BoJ, is it the aqua or regular one you rate? Thank you!

I've used the regular one.

So like a sheep I'm now looking at the cult beauty bags on vinted. I don't know anything about the products, why do I need it? 😂

Thelifeofawife · 23/02/2026 23:42

@LouScot I wanted it mainly for the medik8 c-tetra as this is my go-to. It’s worth it for that alone.

I believe the Dr Levy and Dr Dennis Gross products are supposed to be good as well.

I did buy from CB and got the GWP but have also bought more from Vinted

IlovePond · 24/02/2026 05:58

Hi, in Boots £10 Tuesday, there are some good savings on Boots no7products and the Nip+Fab retinol face masks x5 are there for £10 down from £39.75,(which seems like a VERY expensive RRP!)

IDontHateRainbows · 24/02/2026 06:39

Those samples all look tiny, not worth it for me and nothing i massively need makeup wise.

Me too. Baaaa ☺️

TreesinthePark · 24/02/2026 07:30

The teeny tiny sizes in SNK GWPs are never tempting to me. If anything, they irritate me so much they put me off buying!

BlueLimes · 24/02/2026 07:33

Not interested in SNK either 😇

I’ve used both and find both really good but prefer the regular one. The aqua is a bit lighter while the regular is a bit creamier.

JoRaRaRa · 24/02/2026 07:44

I'm so glad that no one is interested in the SNK gwp. Hopefully that means I won't get fomo and buy for the sake of it 🤞

I am also watching those accounts on Vinted though to see if they start selling them 👀 Although, I have a feeling that it's only CB gwps that they do. It looks like their stock has dried up now, unless they're just in bed and it'll start up again later.

psuedocream3 · 24/02/2026 07:46

I'm interested in the SNK as they would be great stocking fillers for my teen, but not sure theres £85 of makeup I need at the moment.

MrsBnow12 · 24/02/2026 07:49

I have bought the Blush edit and a VBB lip balm I had my eye on, I had £40 Indulge vouchers to be used.

I bought one of the CB gwp’s with the Medik8 peptides in when it was launched and a few months later they are still selling them - they never seem to run out. I have not seen them sell the Space NK ones but did stop following after all the notifications that kept coming through.

Pass from me. Snap. Phew xive ordered from both before and had no issues.

dc82 · 24/02/2026 08:11

Disappointed with the snk gwp. They are just too mini! Also not blown away by the LF gold egg. Two things I’d thought I might succumb to, but fate clearly wanted me to behave 🤷‍♀️

SheilaFentiman · 24/02/2026 08:12

Thanks for pointing out how mini the SNK stuff is - it looked good until I understood that 😀

IlovePond · 24/02/2026 08:14

Good grief, that’s a disappointing GWP - all those minis. I am really trying to cut down on the amount of minis I acquire- they are so bad for the environment and just a bit pointless.

pinkchampagne1 · 24/02/2026 08:21

My Vinted CB order has also been sent out.

Not at all tempted by the SNK gwp or the LF egg which is a relief!

JoRaRaRa · 24/02/2026 08:36

Looks like one of them is up and selling on vinted 🤣 I've had 3 notifications already so people are obviously still buying too.

I have 3 of Medik8, so I've sold one of them and listed another. I probably won't list all 3, as I'd be worried about my order going missing leaving me without 1.

Has anyone tried selling the Huda primer or Dr Levy mask? I went round the house yesterday and collected all the primers I have, and it's a lot 🤣 I couldn't find where I've put my ysl one though which is my fave. Has anyone tried the huda one from gwp before or Vieve or sculpted by AIMEE ones?

That reminds me, @OvaHere i was overall happy with the Patrick ta foundation yesterday. I liked how it blurred pores, provided good coverage, lasted really well, didn't dry out my face or leave it feeling tight. I normally wear primer and setting spray and I didn't use either with it, but it didn't budge at all. I don't know if I'd pay full price for it, it's expensive and I'm just not sure it's wow enough for it. I think I'll try it again today though.
