Beauty chat - freebies/gifts with purchase/offers THREAD TWELVE

[OvaHere]

Beauty addicts assemble.

A new thread as we are powering through them at quite a rate now.

Thanks to everyone who contributes to the beauty chat and we are always happy to see new posters.

Join at your peril. It can get spendy. 😬

Ive just realised why ANNIICB didnt work for me.
I was putting ANNIIECB 🤣🤣

Valaya x

I also wanted the pink or the deeper red. It's not a big deal though.

Don't anyone be tempted by basic mesh bags. You can buy unbranded ones on aliexpress for pennies. 😄

I did similar, rather than get the SNK plastic make up/storage bags, which are quite spendy, I just bought a few off Shein 😅 Granted, the quality is nowhere near that of the SNK ones, but considering I’m only using them to store and sort my overspill products, I wasn’t willing to spend much.
I can’t believe how much those bags go for on Vinted, along with the CT ones.
I’ll keep the one I got with my ‘I do’ edit.

I also have 10 mesh bags now due to the many Vinted fairy purchases and Debenhams edits 😅

I assumed I would get red nail varnish like everyone else, so was pleasantly surprised when I saw it was pink.

Yes - I must NOT be swayed by a mesh bag!

I have thrown away a few more very old bits of skincare today and found a few ‘holiday’ necklaces for the charity shop whilst putting my new Stackers box into service.

I also had a clear out of the bathroom cabinet and found a whole bag of Molton Brown minis I had put on top of the cupboard for safekeeping 🙈 They were hiding in plain sight, which is just embarrassing!

I think it was this chat that people were talking about stackers. Costco have just launched them and they look a good price to me. https://www.costco.co.uk/search?searchOption=uk-search-all&text=621685%20621687%20621694%20631667%20631691%20631700&utm_campaign=FY26P8W2b&utm_medium=email&utm_source=email&utm_content=Banner-2&utm_term=Stackers&sc_src=email_40335&sc_lid=9807049&sc_uid=YV3RtcOfkP&sc_llid=1766821

I'm going to put the red polish from the J L box on my toes this evening.

My Jarrolds box is ready for despatch so another red polish there too.

Nothing on my Harpers box yet.

What do you all think about this?

It’s the Lookfantastic perfume box for £55 but then you can take that off any perfume. Looks like people had trouble with using the voucher afterwards but now seems to be sorted.

@Beautyfox - thanks - that is a good price for the Stackers tool box. Only the white is in stock, but I don’t have a Costco card otherwise I might be tempted.

While I was thinking I cant justify buying anything from SNK during last week of the month,my partner somehow knew about 20% sale, went to the actual store in his lunch break, bought himself a maison margiela jazz club ,signed up to ndulge, got 10 quid voucher and passed it on to me saying I can use it as I am more in need of it! I dont think I have ever seen a guy going into that store for actual shopping! I love going there as actually we have never been 'profiled' iykwim and we can browse in peace. Whereas Sephora in every country has been a miserable experience.

@SavageGarden23 - that’s a nice surprise. I genuinely can’t imagine my DH ever signing up for a loyalty programme or buying anything like that - he even waits for me to buy him anti-perspirant and shower gel and won’t touch it if it’s ‘fancy’ 🙀

Having said that, I find the SpaceNK staff welcoming and helpful and totally not ‘judgy’. I don’t know what SpaceNK are doing right with recruitment and training, but I wish other shops would learn from them.

Long may it continue!

@IlovePond At least he doesn’t touch the fancy stuff! My DP uses my fancy shampoo and conditioner on our DC 🙄 amongst other things he’s liberally helped himself to. I’m a SAHM now though so can’t complain as much as I used to 😅

I am itching to buy something from SNK but everything I want isn't included in the 20% off. For the first time in yonks, I don't actually have anything ordered either from a retailer or vinted. It's a weird feeling 🤔🤣

That’s true @user593 - 😹

@SavageGarden23 I’d take the voucher and also be nicking some of his Jazz Club on the sly 😆

Mine arrived too. You know, the box I wasn’t going to buy, told you lot about and then got FOMO 😂 I got the wine OPI, which I was planning to give to my DM but actually might keep as it’s one of the few shades I use occasionally.

Also got the YSL double pack: delighted with those for £30!

Jarrolds order is on its way. Been doing some clearing to make space.

I ordered the BoJ serum from CB with the fragrance samples and really like it so far. Which means that I now have 2 serums I like, BoJ for evening and the Medik8 vit C tetra in the morning. Feels like a win: my skin is looking pretty good, although it’s taking me much longer to get through my routine morning and night!

Also, I realise I need to up my blusher game. I only ever have one at a time: currently still using the WA petal mini from the CB edit last Xmas. I use it nearly every day, so I have no idea where I’m going wrong if you lot go through them so fast?

Lisa Eldridge has a blush launch. I think Emerald members get first access tomorrow.

@Fillybuster I don't think any of us are getting through them. We just have umm...a few choices to go at! 😂

@OvaHere Those look so much like the Merit blushes!

Edited to add I can see now from more photos online they’re proper sticks, unlike the Merit.

Up your blusher game...

I have one. It must be 10 years old. I never use it, just like the design on it 😆

@Cyclingmummy1 I remember when these came out! 💕

They have a 5ml Diptyque perfume sample as a selectable free sample at SpaceNK now so I bit the bullet and placed two orders for the next step up in my Medik8 retinol serum/ eye cream. Chances are when my current one works out there won’t be any workable codes anyway!

Thanks @user593I have placed a couple of small orders to get some of the samples as they have quite a few perfumes listed, am sure the Creed is the new one one and the JHAG although I have no intention to try a banana fragrance

I placed a few small orders too, mainly kayali as it will sell easily, the diptyque will also have some good resale value, yes I am doing this to make money but it's ALL to fund my personal beauty and perfume habit for anyone who doesn't agree with such things.

I am intrigued to try the banana jhag so added that alongside the westman babycheeks

Massive nostalgia for clinique c. late 2000s when I was really in to it, its never been quite as good since.
