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.... 😈

@OvaHere https://www.vinted.co.uk/member/218754806-m-holt
Yep, looks like they've sold out too. Makes you wonder if they are working together 🤔

The others don't interest me. This one only did for the Medik8 really although I will use most of the other stuff. Undecided on Dr Levy but might give it a try.

I bought one of the other sets, mainly for the Charlotte Tilbury wand, it looks like it's in a gorgeous colour 😍 and for the gummies. I think they might've sold out of those ones though, I've not seen them upload it for a while.

I was tempted to take the decree mask out of them all and sell them as a 5 piece 🤣 I've had it before and it's really nice 💜 I'm not sure I'm interested in the moisturiser, I might sell the ones I get in the 2 sets I'm keeping 😕

Not sure why that's been hidden. I was only saying that I think the other set has also sold out and then that the decree eye mask is nice 😕 I feel like I've been told off 🤣

Did you sell the items individually or as a bundle?
I thought about listing a couple of the bits but there are loads on Vinted that are priced really low so decided to keep them.

Did you mention the G-word that sounds like dummies?

I finally caved and bought the Lumene advent calendar. I haven't tried anything from the brand before but know a lot of people like them, so thought it would be a good way of trying them. They sent me a 15% discount code which helped persuade me.

Postman has delivered another cult box. 🤔
I wonder if its another gwp off vinted. 🤣
I could be scammed by them not sending it and I wouldn't know 🫣🤣
His comment to dh
We are going to need a warehouse.
Really! 🙃🤪🤣

In my defense im taking the hair gummies and using the medik 8 🤣

Not sure how much you paid @ClutteredPalace - but All Beauty have it available for £41.76 using code TREAT.

If you paid more than that it might be worth cancelling and re-ordering from All Beauty?

Edit: I've also caved and purchased the calendar 😊

Has anyone started using the Elemis Ultra Smart items from the bargainous Harrods/Elemis advent and any feedback?

It looks like CB are explaining why the 40% off orders were cancelled - truthfully this time, not blaming it on stock issues!

Thank you for the heads up @keepincool I paid less than a £1 more from their site so will just go with it as knowing my luck, I'd end up with two. 🙈 You have reminded me I should check here for discount codes first though!

My cult beauty order has just arrived as they upgraded me to free next day delivery. No idea what you have to do to qualify for that but I'm not complaining. That's my day sorted then, a happy day of scent testing awaits.

Well I’m now upgraded to Deluxe membership with SNK, I have a free candle and £10 credit but don’t actually need anything! I can’t believe I forgot about the free candle when I placed my last order 🙈
Still no email with a birthday code! I’m hoping this will work in my favour when it does come through though as you get a better gift being a deluxe member

M Holt is uploading more CB bags

Just when you thought it was safe to browse 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm really having to sit on my hands. Common sense tells me it's no good having Vit C stashed for a long time as compared to other products it degrades quicker.

Fairy just uploaded another too - thought they had run out. 😆

@OvaHere She said that was her last one! ☺️

Maybe someone cancelled a bulk order?

I wonder if they've found another box 🤣

Yes, Fairy contacted me to say shes got another but with mask missing so I'm buying that, just waiting for her to upload.

I noticed Holt had uploaded too but I’m not too bothered about the mask as I’ve got a few and I rarely get around to using them, so no point me paying more.

I know I’ll have a stockpile of Vit C but I get through them quickly. And thankfully as this isn’t the one with the pipette there’s no danger of me accidentally knocking it over and spilling nearly a full bottle like I did with my first Medik8 one 🙈😅

On another note, when you link things on here (ie the Clinique at LF), when I click on them it just takes me to the homepage of the site rather than the product. Is this because it’s in the app? My apps are updated so I don’t think that’s the issue

No idea why that it is, sorry.
