Beauty chat - freebies/gifts with purchase/offers THREAD ELEVEN

[OvaHere]

This is the thread where we are all bright orange from Vitamin C overload. Luckily we have a truck load of Bronze Primer to cover it up. 😂

Last thread was probably another speed run record. Let's hope there's no March Madness. We're in need of a break.😳

As always anyone welcome to join and contribute. Although you shouldn't if you know what's good for you. 😉

I’d love to try that - hopefully it will be in an edit at some point. I do like decree serum, old school but Clarins is a good product.
The Emma Lewisham seems more gentle so possibly better for dry skin.

My problem areas are neck and forehead starting to crinkle a bit.

Its gorgeous, isn't it. Kind of reminds me of Calpol but in a sophisticated way 😁

I know some people have mentioned liking the Shay & Blue Black Tulip fragrance - All Beauty have 10ml for £5.76 using code TREAT. They also have S&B Atropa Belladonna 10ml for £5.94 with the same code or buy both for £9.95.

Some of the S&B 30ml are down to £27, and 100ml down to £48.

There are similar reductions on Sentier fragrances too.

I never tried Shay & Blue, how’s longevity in them?

You probably need to avoid all actives, so no retinoids, exfoliants, vitamin c etc. Try serums that say they're hydrating, calming, barrier repair etc. It feels like we've all been buying the same stuff, so I'll suggest these from my stash which hopefully you'll already have:
Lancome Genefique serum (currently on bogof from lancome too)
Byoma Phyto-Mucin Glow Serum?

I have the amber Ahad oud, it's really nice and I like it, but only as a wfh fragrance. I don't trust it to project enough whilst I'm out and about.

You can get 5% off with 5OFFTD and free next day delivery with NEXTDAY4 and they stack so even more of a bargain.

I couldn't get the Treat code to work on the double pack of scents but the 5OFFTD did.

Thanks @JoRaRaRaand @BlueLimesyep avoiding all actives, I’m using tatcha indigo overnight repair which I love and is really good for barrier repair. I’m slowly reintroducing products, so the rose serum is every other day atm! I’m using a hyaluronic Serum I think may have come in Liberty beauty drop at night which is really good. I basically put everything in my stash into chat gpt and it told me what to use! The byoma mucin is on my list to try but I need to work through what I’ve got first! I’ve got the Emma Lewisham serum from Liberty actually, may have a look at that. My issue is forehead, and neck too. I’ve been had to stop elevator for now! Thanks for the help!

I used the tatcha indigo night repair for 4 nights whilst in disneyland in December. I've not touched it since. I need to give it a proper try as everyone else seems to love it.

I can’t get the codes to stack? Only 1 works at a time 🧐

Same here, but as one only gave 50p off and the other gave 3.95, it was an easy choice 😀

I love the Dr Sebagh Deep Exfoliating Mask. Dr Sebagh doesn’t seem to get much love on here so glad someone else likes one of their products! They have some good deals on their website from time to time.

If anyone is after the 100ml S&B Apple Blossom or Blue Salt Caramel - they are £40 in the M&S sale - so cheaper than All Beauty

The codes are stacking for me - nigg th that I am looking!

Not stacking for me, but I've already purchased anyway.

They stacked for me when I tried them earlier, just tried again and they aren't now. I couldn't get the Treat code to work at all for me.

That is really odd. I put the TREAT code in second if that helps - both codes are applied to my basket now.

Gah! I had 2 Diptyque fragrance minis on Vinted - first time I listed anything on there - and now both have been removed for being samples. Anyone else experienced that?

@Lonely12 I really like the Rituals shower foams, although have also
discovered that they stop foaming after around 6 months. I don’t really care as I use a loofah puffy thing anyway, and I think they smell amazing. Currently using Myrrh and Jing with a few more in the cupboard. I also LOVE Korres fig shower gel, and their Jasmine one (oh, and the green tea and mint too) but it’s not always easy to find. And I’m a huge fan of the Clarins “relax” shower and bath gel (the dark blue one). Molton Brown’s Gingerlily is glorious, as is the purple one (I’ve gone blank….!). I would recommend Rose Silence shower gel by Miller Harris, but it’s way too expensive to be taken seriously (I picked up a couple of bottles when they rebranded). Can you tell that shower gel / bubble bath is one of my all time favourite beauty buys???!

I tried the Treat code alone at first and it said it wasnt applicable. That's when I went looking for other codes instead. I probably shouldn't be buying more perfume yet anyway, I haven't tried everything in the CB edit yet.

Did you call them samples in the title or description? There's certain words that will be autodetected. Best just to put XYZ eau de parfum then whatever ml it is.

If you didn't use any words that triggered then I'm not sure what happened.

Wait a while then take new photos with a slightly different background or angle and try again with a different title/description.

Are you entering the code in caps? So TREAT not Treat?

@keepincool Ive just realised I was trying to use the code on the twin pack rather than the single items and the twin pack isn't included. User error 🤦‍♀️

Ah, the twin pack is cheaper without the code

Black tulip was my winter office perfume and I always thought of repurchasing so thanks to PP for the bargain. Atropa belladona sounds like a homeopathic treatment so quite wary about it.
