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. 😉

BDAY15 not working anymore (spies!!)

OvaHere · 09/03/2026 08:15

Arrgh I was too late for the codes. Oh well

Friends! I think I’ve got edit-fatigue! I keep looking and thinking none of them are quite good enough!

What has happened to me? I don’t understand…

BDAY15 not working anymore (spies!!)

Still working for me, but maybe it’s because it was already applied in my basket. Saying that I won’t be ordering - I wanted Truffle and Coquette, but they are in two different edits, so at least I’m saving my money now! 😅

OvaHere · 09/03/2026 08:31

I've got a £5 voucher. Frustratingly I'm 4 points off a £10 voucher but no way to add extra points without purchasing. I only wanted the blush and contour so £5 discount isn't worth it.

I'll keep it in my basket and see if it reduces at any point or a code starts working. If it sells out then it's not meant to be. I'm not in need of more blush. 😂

Damn! I was still considering the WA edit as I would actually use all 3 sticks - would have snaffled it with 20% off. I don’t want or need the mascara or mirror,
so I suspect my “value” is probably pretty close to the cost price. Truthfully I don’t really need another highlighter either (although a new one would be nice). So it’s probably ok. I’ll just buy the blush & contour stick direct. Sigh.

@OvaHere BDAY15 is still working on the app. I used a £5 voucher too to take it to less than £60.

ClutteredPalace · 09/03/2026 08:34

Home Bargains have a few beauty bits in their online only section. A lot of Ren, medium to darker shades of Bare Minerals and some Sol De Janeiro fragrance mists.

Nor me, and it is my birthday this week 😪

JoRaRaRa · 09/03/2026 08:41

So BDAY15 works on the medium one but not fair.

Yep 🤣 works on dark too.

Fillybuster · 09/03/2026 08:44

Just installed the app & discovered the same. Ridiculous!

TreesinthePark · 09/03/2026 08:44

On reflection, I can definitely pass on this WA edit. I'm not interested in the mascara or mirror and I dont think it's worth the money for the other items. I'd rather spend that on choosing products/shades I really wanted.

@TragicMuse I may have the same issue as you. I have so much stuff and have had so many good bargains that the bar is set very high!

Edit to say that I actually want to be swayed, I love nothing more than buying beauty products. My holding back is not through choice!

I can’t get it to work.
(Not that I need it).

Edit - agree it does work on the other shades.

It's only working on medium and dark edits. The fair one is full price which is very unfair! Luckily I wanted the bright pink and slightly darker contour stick.

I definitely don't need it which is why I'm not willing to pay £75. If I distill it down I'm mostly interested in the contour out of everything in the box but I could just buy that for 24.99. Again though not remotely a need so I'll pass unless it reduces.

Agree - I’ve decided I’ve no interest (on this day only).

I think I’ll wait till one of the codes starts working on individual sticks and get them that way. I already have Biscuit, Truffle and Petal minis, I just wanted to try a new blush shade and replenish Truffle as it’s my everyday bronzer, and I’ll be running out soon.

Same as the PPs - not interested in mirror or mascara and rarely use highlighter, although was curious about WA one as I love their formula. Ah well!

The Nectar highlighter is in so many boxes I'm sure you will be able to pick one up on Vinted. I've sold at least 2 in the past as well as keeping one which tbh I don't love as I tend to favour powder highlighter.

I'll be definitely selling the highlighter out of mine, I've already got one in use and like you, I do prefer powder highlighters too. It's a shame it's not one of the other colours.

JPMJuliz · 09/03/2026 09:11

I thought I was safe from edits/beauty boxes, but I’ve just seen the new LiB one (the “Lookbook”), and I’m definitely interested if the price is right 🙈

Hicupping · 09/03/2026 09:15

Might make the WA more appealing though still not enough for me.

I quite like the look of that one. I've never bought a LiB box before as there's never been one I wanted enough. I think it releases tomorrow so I'll have a proper look then.
