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 know there is a lot of love for Morphe and no love for Bridal Beauty on this thread but TBBC have a makeup masterclass with Morphe this evening, it’s £22 to sign up and you get a Morphe based goodie bag worth £50.

Thanks for this, I can’t check my order until tomorrow but have succumbed and ordered Bob to go with English Rose I ordered yesterday.

I also have one more package coming today 😅 hopefully with a second MAC GWP. It’s so annoying the blush and highlighter sticks are £44 otherwise I might have got one or two of those as well!

No I couldn’t, I completed a survey yesterday and am waiting for a 15% code to be sent but bought them full price.

Re the Cult Beauty Mac gwp glitch, my order got dispatched last night and it shows the gwp is in it. Will see when I am home tomorrow and can check.

I'm waiting for the survey code too - just not sure if it will work on the edit as the first15 code didn't (tested while logged out and it knocked off the other test item I added to my basket) 🤔 I do want the phlur cherry stem but I'll survive if it sells out

Thelifeofawife · 17/03/2026 15:59

@Willow742 Same here! I have been checking my emails all day in case it’s gone into junk mail 🙈😅
I am not desperate for any of them, but I would quite like to try a few and considering buying 2 so I want the discount

Ooh I might have a look at this, worth it for the goodie bag and will force me to take some time for myself 🙌

I can’t because I have choir tonight, otherwise I would have been up for that! I don’t know Morphe and would like to try!

I spotted that one and nearly signed up but decided I don't need a goodie bag for the sake of it. It does sound quite good though.

I'm not buying the SNK scent edits either. Like @JoRaRaRa if I could pick a couple from each bag I would but there's quite a bit I either know I don't like or I already own.

Second MAC GWP arrived as well. I’m really surprised they haven’t noticed the error yet. It’s pretty glaring!

Thelifeofawife · 17/03/2026 18:00

I’ve booked onto it, I just hope it’s not too interactive as I’ve had a terrible migraine all afternoon.
I’ve not done one of these before so not too sure what to expect.

My SNK code still hasn’t arrived and I’m itching to buy the fragrance edits - I just hope the code actually works on them after waiting all day 🙈

I signed up last week for it.
Ive fone a few. You can type comments or questions but its not ott. 🥰

MAC GWP doesn’t seem to link now ….

I think they have now as a friend went to buy one and the gwp didn’t add to the basket

Great - thank you 😃 I’m interested to see which products they recommend, as I’ve only tried a couple of eyeshadow palettes so far

OvaHere · 17/03/2026 18:07

I'm probably going to regret my decision if you all start posting fab Morphe goody bags in a few days. 😂

Spies! Doesn’t work for me now either.

IlovePond · 17/03/2026 18:14

LF just sent me £10 credit for some reason, so of course I immediately spent it 🙈I bought the MM Replica that I had tried in the CB sample promo as it was already reduced at LF. I had £5 account credit and £10 in TCB credit on PP, so it ‘only’ cost me £21. Given that it retails at £62 for 30ml normally, I thought this was pretty good.

I am going to put it into my DIY calendar.

I also realised that if I did 4 x 5 MM Replica sample orders from CB that I could get 30 ml for £20, but felt a bit sick about bringing 20 plastic 1.5ml samples into the house - it just seemed too environmentally wrong, (although I know that they will just go to other people instead!) Plus, it’s nicer to have a whole bottle.

Thelifeofawife · 17/03/2026 18:27

@IlovePond I got a £10 credit too, for moving up a tier. I immediately went online but there’s nothing I specifically want.
I might buy another YSL blush if I can do the 20% off plus use the credit, as I am loving the 2 that I currently have.

I know what you mean about the perfume samples, it’s always nicer to have a full bottle than multiple small ones. I have a few YSL Libre ones and end up decanting them into a spray bottle to get them used up, it’s a faff. I had actually bought a full size bottle that I haven’t even opened yet, before I accumulated the minis.
Also agree about the environmental issue. I’ve got a bag full of stuff to recycle but still haven’t gotten around to trying out the Boots scheme

IlovePond · 17/03/2026 18:28

Btw: Did anyone get a second £10 off voucher after buying more CB perfume samples? I did a second 5x£1 deal today but didn’t get a second £10 voucher.

It’s not that I want one particularly, or think it’s unfair just to get one, I was just wondering if other people were getting a second voucher.

Thanks

I am not expecting an amazing bag as £50 doesn’t go very far on full priced so am guessing 4 products and am
hoping they are ones I don’t have.
I bought the Morphe brush set and can say I am loving them and highly recommend them. I also picked up a travel set and they have been perfect for a few days away.

IlovePond · 17/03/2026 18:32

@Thelifeofawife - ah yes, I think I went up a level too, so that must be it. I must get round to using the Boots scheme!

No, I didn't. I didn't chase it as I've not spent the first one yet so I doubt I'll spend 2.

I did end up picking 2 🤣 I hope I can sell the ones I don't want 🙈

IlovePond · 17/03/2026 18:35

Thanks @JoRaRaRa - it’s probably one per customer, then - which is fair enough, I suppose!

Everything sells, it's just at what price... I sold all the selfridges ones I didn't want quite easily.

IlovePond · 17/03/2026 18:47

CB’s 5 samples for £5 plus £10 off has actually ‘worked’ on me.

I bought the JM 9ml today for £9 from CB rather than the ridiculous £18 it costs usually. Then I bought the MM from LF due to the deep discounts.
