Hmm tempted to stock up on Westman Atelier at the 20% off as there is also a free mini highlighter. Do we know if there is ever better discounts on the brand? I don't 'need' anything right now so I can wait if there are better offers usually.

I think 20% is about as good as it gets at SNK. Occasionally you get a crossover where there's a sale and double points or a sale and big GWP.

Cult Beauty also stocks WA so potentially at some point there might be a better discount there - often by accident like the 40% code.

Depends whether any of it is stuff you want to use now or just wishlist items.

@OvaHere Thank you, will keep a close eye on both sites. When the last 40% off code was posted I bought a perfume, and couldn't think what else I needed at the time, I must start a list incase it ever happens again.

Bought a sam mcknight cool girl hair spray and a lisa eldrige lurex eyeshadow from SNK. Came to around £25 plus did in 2 separate orders with a Halfeti sample with each which I will sell on so maybe make £5 back. So Girl Maths says they are practically paying me to take the goods off them! Yay!

I think I’ve lost my new Rhode Lip Tint 😭 I was on the fence about it at first but then it really grew on me and of course now it’s missing I must have it! Too close to our holiday to rebuy right now so hopefully it turns up.

user593 · 23/03/2026 10:02

Betty Palette is down to £40 for anyone who was still mulling it over. I swatched mine the other day and it’s stunning. Just need an occasion to wear it now!

Dress pocket.

Even though I never put things in my pocket as it spoils the line, I still find tiny pots of loveliness in there.

I’ve still not used mine which I bought weeks ago! Typical 😅

I’ve checked them all! It’s quite possible one of my DC have run off with it though and I’ll find it in a pile of Hot Wheels cars at some point in he future 😅

Do it! It’s so nice ☺️ I just bought Vega with the 20% off and a £5 SNK voucher. I am justifying it as I’m currently selling a couple of palettes I decided I’d never use 🫣

Cult Beauty drama 😭😭
I have bought 5 scent kits when they were reduced as I love the Orange Crush and Dirty Milk from it and was gonna sell the rest to get some ££ back. With my order they included Molecule Cistus, Rebel Rose and Vanilla Burbon samples.
so my order arrived to day with 3 lonely samples but no actual scent kits 😭
thankfully the box is really small so I will have no problem proving the items I paid for were actually missing, but raging I missed out on the perfumes I really wanted.

IlovePond · 23/03/2026 16:04

@HolaLolla - this happened to me with Sephora once, but my actual order turned up several days later. I suppose it’s possible that CB have do the same, but it is weird.

Hopefully you can get it sorted 🤞

I would love for it to turn up, the price was very good for me to stock up on the perfume I love, however there was no separate tracking number so I am not hopeful it is still coming. It is also sold out so not like I can get a replacement.
CB said they are carrying out a full network investigation into so hopefully they give me my money back 😬

IlovePond · 23/03/2026 16:25

I hope CB come through for you @HolaLolla If the perfumes can’t be sent to you, perhaps some might turn up on eBay?

OvaHere · 23/03/2026 16:35

@HolaLolla I've also had that with CB where they've randomly sent the gwp separately. Hope you have it resolved quickly either way.

Did you get 2 tracking numbers? I have ordered some samples via 5 for £5 deal a day after ordering scent edit and they have arrived today too so not getting my hopes up for the edit 🙈 must be the universe telling me to reign it in again

I can sympathise as mine still hasn’t turned up and tracking keeps saying out for delivery then delivery failed. Convinced someone is walking around wearing my lovely scents!!

Tbh I can't really remember. I think so. I might have received a dispatch notice a day or two later with the actual product.

I know I need to get out more, but my most recent stacker purchase has arrived and I am ridiculously excited about the prospect of tidying up yet another cupboard shelf!

namechange0998776554799000 · 23/03/2026 17:22

I had a lovely £5 Vinted bundle turn up today - pretty much a mystery box as the photo wasn't clear and I decided to surprise myself rather than ask what was in it 😆

It included all the contents from last Novembe's Glossybox plus the QR code so I could look them all up, plus a Rodial dragons blood mask and loads of other random treats. All of them fully sealed. Very pleased with it for £5 🤷‍♀️

I can totally relate to this, I love organising my stuff. All of mine is currently stuffed in a cupboard in separate bags but Im trying to decide how I want to organise it. I keep forgetting what I've got as I'm very 'out of sight, out of mind' but I dont have much room on my dresser. I think I need to start looking at high-rise storage solutions.

This happened to me with a Boots order. The free gift arrived on its own a day or two before the order. When I went back and checked the email though, there was a separate tracking number for each parcel, I just hadnt noticed. 🤦‍♀️Fingers crossed for you that a big box arrives tomorrow!

TheGreenBow · 23/03/2026 17:48

@HolaLolla mine has just arrived on its own so fingers crossed for yours.

I feel bad for complaining about it disappearing now 😬🤣

However I now have a new problem which is that I’ve discovered that Dirty Milk smells absolutely amazing….but it’s very expensive to buy. Shit.

Were you supposed to get free samples with yours?

Dirty Milk and Orange Crush were the reason I have ordered another 5 sets 🙈🙈 will be getting a full size of both now that I did not get the minis. Just need a good GWP offer.

Cyclingmummy1 · 23/03/2026 18:00

My J L box has arrived. Very cute little lippie 😍

Red nail polish and decent holiday sizes of the other items.
