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. 😉

@Hicupping - I like the melatonin mask too. I have been putting it in at night once or twice a week before bed on its own.

I opened 2 SNK deliveries today, and had forgotten half of the contents I’d ordered 🙈😅 Very pleased with my haul though.

I also started to use my (one of many) Medik8 tetra advanced today. I haven’t tried it before as I previously had the version with the pipette. It’s nice. Not sure I’d pay full price though, I’d probably go back to the other (cheaper) version once my stash runs out

I’m trying to decide if I should buy another one or two more storage organisers as the ones I have are making me feel better/tidier.

I stupidly missed out on a great eBay one yesterday by not upping my bid. Having said that, I had no intention of ending up in a bidding war!

I keep looking to see if the Boots Stackers comes back in stock but no luck so far. I wish they would either restock or remove the listing. It’s impossible to know with Boots if something has gone for good or whether they will restock at some point 🤷‍♀️

Ooh I forgot about the Zelens melatonin, I will try that tonight!

Someone posted about a Tilli one on QVC, I think it was £35

@Thelifeofawife - I was tempted by that one! I am debating between:

• Waiting to see if the Boots Stackers comes back as this would match with the others in my cupboard
• Just buying a cheaper one from another brand in a different colour and hiding the ‘odd’ coloured one in the middle shelf
• Also buying one I am stalking on the internet for my bedside table which is in a completely different colour to all the ones I have already but cheaper than buying new

Packaging is very underwhelming and forgettable. Weirdly Liberty doesn't stock it. It goes in my highly recommend category.

Is the JL edit on TikTok different from the one that has sold out online? Mine arrived today, trying to decide if I want to keep it.

Anthropologie sale includes some Nest perfumes & sprays and a few GlowHub products if anyone is interested in those.

It looks to be exactly the same edit to me, and it’s called the same thing.

I got two tubes of the Zelens Melatonin but haven’t cracked them open yet. Excited to try it though.

I opened up a tube of Innersense Hydrating Hair Bath this morning (can’t remember quite how I got it) but it’s wonderful.

My hair is long, thick and wayward, but it just feels so good now. Really impressed.

I've been using this for the last couple of nights. I got two tubes from Home Bargains for around £10 each. Seems quite nice, it's a bit like that Evidens mask from the Harrods advent but minus the minty cooling effect.

So far I like all my CB fragrance testers so that could end up being expensive in the long term 😳 I've only done a quick sniff test so will have a proper try of each over the next few days.

I got the Nest strawberry, DS& Durga I don't know what, vyrao witchy woo, Jo Malone pear & freesia and peony & blush suede

Thanks so much for telling me 😊 off to browse now.

Thanks for this reminder. I have this to try. I’ve just tried the Oribe glass hair treatment (no idea where I’ve picked it up from either), I’m very impressed with it (salon soft and shiny hair) but the price point is quite high for a hair treatment so maybe the inner sense will be as good/better at a cheaper price point.

Oh I’ve really enjoyed the Zelens melatonin! I’m almost at the end of my tube.

I was reading a thing about hyaluronic acid and how it should be used on damp skin so it doesn’t pull hydration from the lower skin layers. Also if you’re using an active to apply it first. And then once all layered, to seal it all in with moisturiser.

So I’ve been trying that for a few days, using my Medik8 C Tetra. Can’t tell for sure yet but it does feel a bit softer and hydrated.

I can't seem to get the free WA highlighter to add on cult beauty either 😕 I already have the highlighter in nectar, but the lit up colour looks really nice 😍

@JoRaRaRa I can’t get it to work either. Bit tempted by the blush stick in Mimi and lip balm in Bob but not if the GWP doesn’t work!

Does anyone have any recommendations for makeup remover wipes? I had been using Bioderma but they don’t seem to be available anymore.

Did you go to the H beauty event? I'm sure it was one of the freebie options.

It was also in this gwp from about a year ago. Tragic that I can recall these things. 😂

It was, I picked it up. I've used it once but didn't really notice any difference with my hair. Maybe I did it wrong 🤔

It was in my stash from October-Christmas which I’m just sorting through. I purchased quite a bit from Selfridges, HN, CB and Liberty over those months. I put it in after shampooing and left it in for about 5mins before rinsing. I used about half the sample bottle. The smoothness and salon look has lasted a couple of washes soo far. It claims it lasts up to 17 washes which seems very optimistic especially as it says it’s a weekly treatment. But £63 seems very over priced.

Maybe I was a bit stingey with it. I'll give it another go and put a load more on 🤔
