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.... 😈

It is the Amika Kure in a tube.

It says apply for 5-10 mins on cleansed hair then rinse out, so I shampoo then put it on

Yes, I do. I like my hair to be extra silky 😍 I wash my hair every 3 - 4 days, I don't think it makes it more greasy.

I got the Prai neck cream, mainly for the sparkly jar ✨

Thanks @JoRaRaRa . I'm being a bit dim today though, should they match? Or not match?! I don't want to use anything potentially unsafe and am a little paranoid to be honest.

Me too, that's why I wanted to check. I'm actually relieved that half of them match but not all. I think it would be unrealistic for them all to match up but you'd expect some to. They're like batch numbers, so when they were made.

I'm sure I've heard of websites/apps where you can check expiry dates for beauty products, has anyone ever tried one?

My GWP from the fairy should arrive tomorrow so if I can work it out I'll check the medik8 and compare it to the one I bought a couple of months ago

No. My hair would be too heavy x

I have very fine hair, below shoulder length, which is coloured, and I usually wash it every other day. Probably should have included that in my question :)

Ok, who's just purchased 2 gift for all bags and 2 glow bags from ofairy1? and did you get a good deal? 😄

I will be glad when they are all sold. Every time they list another one Vinted send me a message 😂

Me too. Mine should arrive later this aft. Great bargain but I'm not buying any more as I now have 3 of the Vit C products which take around 6-8 weeks to use up with daily use. I think all 3 should be fine if used this year but I don't want them hanging around longer.

They did, £19 per set. I worked it out as I was wondering should I offer the same 😂😂

I don't use conditioner too, I think of it more as a deep conditioner, so a replacement for normal, rather than something like the k18 mask where I do use conditioner after

@BlueLimes - sorry, it looks like a light finger swipe to me based on one of mine that I swiped in the same way.

I hope you can send it back.

I have only just realised that today’s GWP email from Liberty was actually for a different GWP to yesterday’s!

Slightly lower spend needed, £200 vs £300. I’m still not interested in it, though.

Bizarre to do 2 GWP so close to each other. They must have a lot of beauty drop spares to clear out!

Me too 🤣 I keep getting tempted to buy a few then relist them, but I'd probably end up stuck with them 🙈

Oh dear, sparkly Prai heading my way too.

Tbf, I don’t actually have any ‘real’ neck cream atm, (currently using up the no7 day cream on my neck), and I do really like the Prai one. 100ml should last a while too.

Less justifiable is the Arizona Bloom perfume set, the two pairs of trousers and a dress that are also winging their way to PondTowers!

My reasoning is: The clothes will probably end up going back and I can never have too much of the FS AB in hand - I absolutely love that perfume and get through it quickly.

I was tempted by the 3 x 10ml set of FS perfumes for £25 because it’s such a bargain, but AB is my favourite one so it made sense to get that set instead.

Plus: I have NOT succumbed to the CB Rituals edit or the CB GWP or any of the other edits going round atm.

Thanks for the heads up @keepincool

That's a lot of justifying in one comment 🤣

So true @JoRaRaRa 😹

Argh now I want the sparkly pot 😆

Just picked up my bargain Cult Beauty gwp set. Really happy with my bargain 😃

Well I thought I would pop on and see what everyone was up to , and prep for the advent . And so far I’ve got the GWP and prai neck cream . 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑 I knew it was a mistake a soon as I saw @JoRaRaRa and @OvaHere 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂😂😂😂

Hi, just to let you know that Toni & Guy currently have big discounts on their haircare online.

I just bought another Kerastase Genesis serum for £34.25 with free postage and a choice of free gift. I chose a conditioner because I have started applying this liberally in order to avoid tangles/pulling my hair out!

The Kerastase was much cheaper from here than anywhere else and they have a lot of other products. They are on TCB too.

Also, Toni & Guy are offering a range of freebies with any purchase. One of the options is one of those clear make up/travel pouches like the ones that are ridiculously expensive in SNK.

I agree , despite my protests I’m really glad I’ve got the CB GWP on Vinted , I hope like everyone else it’s all good goods , but the rest of them have just not inspired me it all feels like left overs and I was really hoping the Liberty would stand out . So waiting on Harrods, do they do a Mother’s Day edit ? Or just Easter ?

on another note after all the perfume edits/advents has any really stood out ? I’m still at 50+ looking for that forever perfume . One that lasts . I used to love Coco but my friend put me off saying I was over powering 😆 my personality and the perfume ! And that was 15 years ago . I liked the XNihlioh but again it just didn’t stick . Same with the Vanillla perfumes all beautiful but not long lasting . It could be me my skin or nose . I definitely think perfumes last longer in the summer as I am more religious at moisturising my body and that helps them sink in . But from all of the many many HN , SPNK , and perfume society none have kicked in except a tobacco one ironically which I gave away promptly as it was suffocating me 😆. Long lasting ????? Any help on the more woody side please x
