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.... 😈

Pay day tomorrow so my "spending money" budget will magically renew. Will look on vinted for the CB gap, but how are you all managing to find them? I might also try the EL double wear stack although will need a new email address 🙈 and perhaps another Decree serum...

Also...we're over half way through the new thread already 😂

I just searched ‘Cult Beauty gift’ on Vinted

Doglover73 · 24/02/2026 21:52

. Ive just bought one of each edit.
I resisted for so long but like the gummies and the medik 8 tetra.
Read reviews for the advanced and were good for sensitive skin so 😲
I think i already have one along with many others 😅

They're selling and then uploading them still, not as quick as yesterday, but still getting through them 👀

I bought the other edit too. The Charlotte Tilbury wand looks very interesting 😍

That’s the same seller I got mine from 😁

There is another person selling loads, I'm also following them, but I like the name of this one more 🧚✨🤣

Thelifeofawife · 24/02/2026 23:08

Just to mention that if you contact the seller and let them know you’re interested in buying 2/3 of them, they will agree a price and list for what’s agreed for you to purchase at reduced rate…according to a friend 😅 (my ‘friend’ paid £21 each)

In other news: I have completely refilled my Liberty a/c, with double, triple and even the odd quad doors.

I can no longer use ‘filling my a/c’ as an excuse to buy stuff, (and it’s only Feb🙀)

Oh gosh, thanks for the advent reminder! I used SNK fragrance box for my frankenstein last year and I'll make a start again.

@LouScot I found a Vinted seller called m-holt for the CB GWP and they have another listed now. Only ordered today so I can't vouch for them as a seller. Edit to say I didn't find them personally, they were listed here a few pages ago!

That's some good bargaining 😍 I need some lessons from you, I tried to get a discount but they wouldn't budge, I paid £49.98 for 2 😕

@JoRaRaRa I suppose if they know you’re buying multiple it’s better for them to give a discount so they can shift them sooner. Whereas if they think you’re only buying one, they can afford to hold out for other buyers

Thelifeofawife · 25/02/2026 00:10

Thanks to everyone who posted about the HMRC rules upthread, I’ll take a proper look at these tomorrow. I need to educate myself

I like her name too 😁
I have just noticed the other edit she has listed for £19.99. Do I need it? Absolutely not, but I have just been paid so off to have another look 😆

I got 2 of each but separately. 😂
I didnt intend getting anymore but 😂.

I was hoping they'd sell out before I caved but no. 😅

I did say ask how much for 2, and she said they would be the same price. Did you just offer a price? I feel like I need to try a different tactic but I really don't want to be tempted to buy anymore 🤣

Edited

Ive bought from them previously, no issues.
You cant add feedback when picked up as a professional seller but can report a problem. 👍

Try offering a price. I got my first one for £22.99 and then offered £45 for a bundle of 2 (rejected) so settled on £46 for 2 - so basically 3 for £23 each.

I definitely dont need 3 - 🐑🐏

Edit: that was with ofairy1

namechange0998776554799000 · 25/02/2026 08:13

I offered £22.50 for one and she counter offered £23.50

Doglover73 · 25/02/2026 08:18

Would be better if there was a diacount applied for multiples automatically 🤔
I dont like asking for discounts 😂

It's always worth asking for a discount @Doglover73 !

If something is £45 I tend to offer £40; if £25 I might offer £22.50. I purchased a Wild Source cleansing balm on at £2.50 this morning for £2.00. Just avoid cheeky offers like offering £10 for a £30 item.

Look at what else a seller has and make an offer on a bundle if they have other items you want too - some will take 20% off, especially if the listing's have been on for a while.

I listed a wild Source cleansing balm last night, you could've had mine for £2 🤣

I usually offer a few quid less than what it's listed for. Some people are so cheeky though, I had the Medik8 serum up for £35 and someone offered me £20 🤣 erm no! I had to spend £100 to get that thing! 🤣

TreesinthePark · 25/02/2026 08:37

Well now I've just bought a £2 Wild Source balm on Vinted when I should be driving to work right now! 🤣

OvaHere · 25/02/2026 08:53

Boots have a gwp with £90 spend on selected premium beauty plus 20% off or limited number of 25% off codes QUICK25.

Gift is fine but nothing very exciting.

my Last bookmark of these threads is from 20 Feb on the last one so I’ve not got to read any of the recent posts yet but just wondering is there any CB discount codes anyone knows of that works on Jo malone perfumes at cult? I’ve tried my blue light and it doesn’t work xx
