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.... 😈

Me too so I just bought it. 😁

I don’t know if any of you are still subscribed to the beauty drop, but since I unsubscribed again a couple of months ago (I was signed up from the start; stopped a couple of years ago; succumbed again when they did the 3-months-at £20 offer; and then stopped again in January) Liberty have emailed me every couple of weeks with the same 3-months-at-£20 deal.

I am not going to re-subscribe but just thought that I would mention it, as it seems like you could maybe only have to pay £25 for a handful of months every year, by unsubscribing and resubscribing. Although I appreciate that’s a bit of effort just to save a few £5s!

It looks like fairy seller may have FINALLY run out of buyers for Cult GWP…. I’ve not had a new notification for hours….

I’ve also bought the sparkly pot I never knew existed half an hour ago! I can still see the gift bags for sale on Vinted - the fairy hasn’t run out yet.

I've not bought anything today so I feel the need to buy a sparkly pot. I need to resist! No buy Feb hasn't gone too well, but I think I can pull it back over the next few days 🤭

No one is buying though … that one’s been up for 10 hours

Standout for me was Brompton Immortals from the Harrods advent. Truly love that and probably wouldn't have tried it otherwise.

Well I started adding things into my M&S basket this morning but got busy with other things and now some of them have sold out - probably a blessing really, though one was a possible gift.
I went for the Prai neck cream as I’ve been wanting to try something to target this area, I’m not too bad but the lines are starting to show. I also got the Prai smoothing & lifting serum set as one of my eye brow/lid was starting to drop, it seems to have massively improved over the past several months but I’ve noticed it again in the past few days - I’m hoping the serum does as it says it will!
I got a couple of dresses and a couple of little gift sets for birthdays later in the year as well.

I have received one of my Vinted CB sets, it’s definitely genuine, identical to the one I received from CB.

Last night I reordered the LE Betty palette and a few other bits to get the GWP, and to put points on my correct SNK account so it pushes me into Deluxe tier. I just hope the return of the other one is easy.
I’m still waiting on my birthday email 🤔

Safran Secret, my friend got it in HN GWP and let me have it. It’s a beauty and a beast (in projection, sillage and longevity). I had to have it after first sniff 🙈 it’s going to be the most expensive perfume per ml in my collection but so worth it.

@Thelifeofawifeone year when I did not get my birthday email from SNK, I phoned them and they made sure we didn’t end the call until the email arrived in my inbox.
Have you checked your DoB is correctly registered on your profile? I’m assuming you qualify for the incentive, but worth checking that as well before calling them.

@Branster Thank you. I contacted CS yesterday and they said that my communication preferences didn’t include email - which they previously did and that’s why I got the email last year, so I’m not sure what changed. Anyway I updated it and they said I’d get an email soon but nothing has come through still. I may need to contact them again, as I’m not going to be fobbed off given how much I’ve spent with them over the past year.
Usually I wouldn’t be bothered, but for some reason this is really bugging me

Watch that you do get the double points. The last DP event they did I didn't get double and had to message them about it. They did fix it no issue but make sure you check.

Well, I just caved for the neck cream. I ordered two. I actually don’t like the jar but £20 for 100ml is a great price. I’ve lost a lot of weight recently and my neck isn’t looking great 😣

Also bought some joggers and two linen shirts I bought full price last week but thankfully haven’t taken the tags off yet!

Thank you, I’ll look out for that. It’s not showing the deluxe status yet, despite saying I don’t need to spend any more to move to that tier. Perhaps it will be once my current order has cleared.

Does anyone know a way to get this delivered to the UK?
Flaconi beauty egg

It is a very good egg!

This does look good , I like the style Korean one as well but no matter what I do I can’t order it 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would feel the same as you @Thelifeofawife
Call them back today before the month ends.
What a ridiculous rule. They should have posted a code to you as an alternative, how else are you supposed to benefit from this incentive if they don’t send it to you.

@Thelifeofawife the SNK birthday gifts go so quickly. I got my code on 6th Jan and when I went to add it on the 9th, it had gone already. It's not my birthday until the 26th so I had a bit of time 🤣 SNK were just like 'oh well' - lesson learnt for next year. I've spent about £800 with them since September, might not be loads to others but it is for me so I was pretty gutted to miss out.

I caved and bought the neck cream too 🤭 it was the only way I could sleep. My bedroom is a soft lilac-y pink, champagne gold and cream so I'm not sure I'll put it on display, I don't think it'll go too well. Like you though, I've lost weight and my neck is showing signs of this. I've never used a neck cream but I'm hoping this will help. I was reluctant to add something else to my routine, but nm 💁🏻‍♀️

I did think though, for an extra £10, I could've bought the ysl fuschia fizz from debenhams. Then I could stop bleating on about it to you lot 🤣

Re: the SNK birthday gifts, I was told in store last weekend that if you miss out in your month, the code is still valid for the next month.

Worth a try, anyway. I’ll be placing an order on 1 March, so I guess I’ll find out then!

@JoRaRaRaany sane person would agree with you £800 in a few months at SNK is indeed a big spend.

Buy the blush!
Debenhams gives an extra 10% off with code: DFT-H3V-NYL-VDB

I have two YSL blushes on the way. Fingers crossed Debenhams don’t mess ip as their CS are shocking these days.

I want that egg for the Bete Blanche fragrance. I couldn't find any way of getting it delivered to the UK easily 😪

I've seen a few things now that are EU and wont deliver here. Bloody brexit

I couldn’t translate the site into English, do they deliver to Ireland?
