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. 😉

That was my thinking. The Ziip was brand new in unopened box and I got it for £86 which seems to good to be true! It is a first time seller so couldn’t look at their reviews, but for that price it was worth a go. I know I didn’t really need it but the Ziip is over £300 to buy usually so I had to go for it. I can easily sell it on if needed.

‘Too good to be true’ I can usually spell but not functioning yet as been woken repeatedly from the early hours by my hungry cat! 😆

If anyone is still looking for stackers type boxes for their stash - QVC have an offer on a Tilli makeup organiser today for £34.96

Sorry to come on and be a doomsayer but that might turn out to be a scammer. Either it will never come (it will 'go missing' during the delivery process) or something else will arrive in its place.

My mum is keen on one and I've ordered a couple of these first time seller ones from Vinted and they have never materialised unfortunately. The one time something was delivered it was a set of false nails.

maybe I'll be wrong - if it does come that's a fantastic bargain!

Thank you, I’ll have a look!

Hmm, think you are probably right as the seller has now been blocked. 😐 I won’t be too upset about not getting it really as I have my Bear so don’t really need it. I was just swept away with it being such a bargain. Hey ho, just hope Vinted refund my money. 😣

😱 Have you blocked them or has vinted?

I have a rule that I don't buy or sell anything over £50. I've done a bulk order once which came to £47 🤣 I bought another la mer from someone's harrods calendar last night, I really need to stop buying on vinted 🙈 I sold a load of stuff from the cult beauty ac and now I've spent a lot of it, oops!!

Vinted have blocked them. 😐 I had had a couple of glasses of wine last night as my DH wasn’t working nights, so that probably didn’t help! I wouldn’t usually spend that much but it looked too good a bargain to leave. Lesson learned! 😣 I really didn’t need it as it does the same as my Foreo Bear. Just hope I get the money refunded. Vinted are usually good at refunding when things go wrong.

How much did you get the La Mer for? I could be tempted by another pot at a good price. Not from a seller with no reviews though! 😳

Another CB glow bag has popped up on Vinted…must not order more!

How many have you bought? I've got 3 on the way to me, but I only plan to keep 2.

I paid £25 for the la mer. They have other Harrods ac products listed. I've told myself that is the last thing I'm buying from the AC, or I might as well have bought 2 🤣

I have only bought 1 of the CB bags but am thinking of a second. They are such a good buy. Need to be sensible though! 😆

I am getting cravings to spend some money, which is probably why I made the silly Ziip purchase last night. But I don’t actually need anything, which is no fun!
£25 is a good price for the La Mer. Look at it that you now have a 30ml pot 😁

Thanks for getting back to me on the Prai neck cream @OvaHere - I am sorry for the delay replying - I missed your response.

The trouser part of my M&S order is definitely going back. The perfume spray that came with the AB 10ml is smaller than expected, but still pretty good for £15. I am still waiting for the dress to arrive, but I am not hopeful it will be any good.

My CB perfume has just shipped. I am looking forward to it arriving.

Is the Ziip better than the Foreo Bear 2 or does it just look better? I don’t love the Bear 2 colours but I’m very tempted! The price difference is significant, the Bear 2 is just over £200 on the Foreo website at the moment (with the serum).

Hi thank you all for the welcomes, you are all very kind and have made me smile with your posts

spacenk app only have 20:00 off a £100 spend

Well, I've nearly used my 15ml so I have maybe 20ml 🤣

I think you should buy another. It is a sensible buy 💁🏻‍♀️ and such a good bargain.

StyleKorean have some fantastic deals on at the moment. I am tempted to get some more hair products because I really liked the Aromatica Rosemary shampoo sample they sent me.

Lots of freebies and codes on their site and code: CLARE10 gives a small extra discount.

I think Evri have ‘mislaid’ my second CB fairy box. Their message tells me that ‘it has been unexpectedly delayed’. Bother.

Lancome have got a BOGO on various items including the Renergie, Genefique and Absolue range. Code OURGIFT.

Mine says it's stuck at the parcel shop and should be on its way the next working day 😕 When was yours sent?

I'm very very sorry to have shared the CB goody bags from vinted and ruined all your low spends 🤭 I will go and sit in the corner for a bit 😁

I seem to have developed a bit of a rash on my jawline and neck, suspects include medik8 advanced night restore, the vitamin c (god forbid since i have about 8 bottles between the CEW edit & goody bags!), by Sarah mist... I think that's everything but I've been slapping all sorts in with abandon so I have only myself to blame 😂

I do intend to try the Dr levy when my face isn't sore, so will update if that day ever comes. Just need to stop putting all the nice new things on all at once - I tell myself if it's not all the exact same day then it's fine, but my skin would apparently disagree

The Fairy sent it on Saturday, Evri received it Sunday and I was told it would arrive yesterday.

Perhaps they are all huddled together somewhere, for warmth 😊

My skin's also reacting to something, either niacinamide or Vitamin C. And everything seems to contain one or the other!

Oh - I do love a Style Korean shopping spree! And they have a new lucky box...

What are you tempted by @IlovePond ?

I really hate to say it, but I also have a rash on my jawline and think the medik8 vitamin c might be to blame 😬 I figured this out after buying the GWP and have been feeling really bad seeing so many people buy it so I really hope it's just me - I do have sensitive skin.

I put a photo of the rash/spots into chatGPT and it told me it's skin barrier damage due to either the vitamin c or retinol and to stop both for 2-3 weeks and see if it clears up. But I've only been using medik8 retinal 1, which is very mild, 3 times a week, so I feel the vitamin c is the more likely culprit. I was also using that 3 times a week (on retinol days).

I've cut out all actives for now and I'm using one of the barrier repair serums from the CB radiance edit, and the centella cream from the Boots mask freebie. If it clears up in a few weeks I'm going to try reintroducing retinol and see whether it was that or the vitamin c that was the problem. I will report back!

This is my rash, I'd be interested to know if others have the same
