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.... 😈

@Thelifeofawife is it the decree or Dr Levy mask that's missing?
I really like the decree eye mask, I've not used the Dr Levy one before. One of the good things about them selling all of these sets is that I've been able to get 3 decree eye masks for £9 🥳

The link works fine for me, I'm on the app

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 🙈😅

I'm conflicted because the Medik8 is my favourite but I do have others besides the 3 x MediK8 to use up. Still haven't started on the full size Tatcha that came in the SNK advent.

I could sell on some I don't favour as much and buy another Medik8 but the sensible part of my brain says just leave it alone and crack on using what you have. 😂

I didn’t even ask, I forgot the Dr Levy was a mask as well 😅
But I can now confirm it’s the Decree that’s missing, it’s still worth it for the medik8, the set was reduced to £20

@OvaHere Not to worry, it happens with all the links that people post, I don’t know what’s going on.

I’m currently using the Tatcha from SNK but it’s nearly finished. I’ve still got a Dermalogica (my favourite) but I’ll save that and use a couple of the medik8 first

What do you think of the tatcha?

Thelifeofawife · 02/03/2026 14:00

@OvaHere It’s nice, definitely gives a good glow. But I do prefer the Dermalogica and medik8

The medik8 is cheaper than the Tatcha - even without the crazy Vinted bargain bags - so overall this one wins for me

Thelifeofawife · 02/03/2026 14:02

My LF order has just arrived - it was a lovely surprise as I forgot what I ordered 😅 but I was routing through the box thinking where’s my GWP, then realised I didn’t buy the haul to get a minimum spend, I had just gone out of control 🙈😅

Thanks. I might use that one next.

I sold the Tatcha from SNK, then ended up buying the DE from the Sephora AC to go in my Frankenstein. I'm thinking of selling the DE now, I've only been using vitamin c on my forehead and chin as I have rosacea on my cheeks, but the Medik8 is meant to be gentler and has a buffer in it. I've yet to try it though, it might also be no good.

The only one I've tried that I felt reacted a bit with rosacea was the Skinceuticals sample. Not a big reaction but then I didn't try it for more than a couple of days as I spilt most of it in the sink. I'm a little wary of Tatcha as I think it has a similar type of Vit C but I'll try it out.

I have just sold the Tatcha too. I got a bit carried away before Christmas and ordered it because it was one of the highlights of the SNK and seemed a bargain at £25, but then also bought the Drunk Elephant vitamin c and now have the MediK8, so decided it would be best to sell one of them. I got what I paid (minus postage) so not bad. I need to stop getting carried away with bargain Vinted purchases!

If you're looking for a cheap frag fix CB have a checkout offer of a free 1.5 ml Chloe Atelier frag (4 to choose from) with any frag order.

I bought the most recent Kayali discovery quad, the matcha one as I haven't yet tried those. BDCB takes them to £10 plus your choice of the Chloe sample.

I also had a £5 credit so just cost £5 and free ND delivery.

I just buckled and bought a second CB GWP from MAHolt, who said that they were down to their last few….

oh, just realised this is the old thread. Will copy and re-post on the current thread 🤦‍♀️

Just coming back to the SNK birthday gift: I emailed them to complain that my code wasn’t working - surely they can’t be out of stock of the March gift already!

Anyway, they apologised, said yes it’s out of stock everywhere, and gave me a £5 account credit to compensate.

(Obviously I will continue to try to use the code online/in-store over the next couple of weeks Grin)
