[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. 😬

I thought so too despite them being sticks. I think they are that same balmy type product.

Boots have a new beauty box - new and trending £55.

Not for me, I'm intrigues by the glazed donought oil, but its reduced on Boos right now anyway around £20 and thats included in the spend £60 and get a free pamper beauty box.

Oh My Cream (that name gets me every time 😂) have an edit. It's nice but pricey at £80.

I like the Oh My Cream edit but not the bag! Shame.

@user593 I'm the opposite, the Irish in me is loving the bag, but I’m not drawn to the contents at all 😅🍀

We've got a new Space NK opening near us soon. I can't wait !

Does anyone know if they are likely to do opening day promos etc?

Ooh my Jarrold's Lemon drop edit has arrived - its lovely! The bag is gorgeous

Did your orders get cancelled? I ordered a small body wash for £5 and it's been cancelled but the body wash is still in stock 😔

Mine's due today I think.

Not yet but will watch my emails

Hello, haven’t posted in a while as the thread moves so quickly but I do try to skim and catch up every couple of days.

The Dermalogica Ultra Calming cleanser is amazing, it feels like it’s doing nothing and leaves skin feeling great. Some people mentioned skin barrier issues in the thread. I like it more than the Dermalogica gel cleanser even. It’s still available as a £65 RRP 500ml full size in the £40 Next Luxe Beauty box https://www.next.co.uk/style/su807942/f51533 I don’t like having a stash but I might stock up. I was able to sell the candles and bits for £1-£10.

I got round to using the Allies Of Skin Daily Firming Treatment, which I think was from an autumn 2024 cult beauty edit. I’m getting so many compliments for my skin. The retail price is extortionate though! Yup was the September 2024 Skintellectuals edit beautyadventcalendar.net/cult-beauty-the-skintellectual-edit/

Ah, I've found out why it was cancelled. I'd ordered some perfume first and used my NDULGE balance. When I came to buying the body wash, it gave me the option to use my balance again, so I assumed I'd forgotten to press it. So it was cancelled as I tried to use the same £10 reward twice 🤭 oopsy!

The AoS Firming Treatment is really nice. It's a shame it's so expensive but the small sizes do appear in quite a few edits and as gwp's.

I bought the Next box for the cleanser. I haven't used it yet but looking forward to trying it.

I’ve been looking on Vinted, does anyone know if that’s a product known for being faked? Like how LaNeige lip masks are common fakes. If any regular here is selling an Allies of Skin Daily Firming Treatment, please do PM me the item listing.

I'm not aware of it being a widely faked brand but I suppose you never know. AoS usually have BF sales where they do 30% off and their loyalty points scheme is decent.

Inspired by @MrsBnow12 I also placed 4 small orders after my initial three Medik8 ones 😅 they haven’t been cancelled, yet, but no despatch notifications either.

I've recently started using AoS (tranexamic acid and azaleic acid serums) and I trawled Vinted but the good products rarely come up and when they do the prices are high. They do 25% off regimes though, and you can easily get 20% if you buy from SNK or anywhere else when they have an offer. If anyone finds a way to get it much cheaper, do let me know!

My Jarrolds edit arrived. The bag is even prettier in person. Very pleased with it.

Next have launched a smallish GWP worth £60 when you buy 2 selected products. Included in that is the Easter beauty box and the wellness beauty kit.

Look Fantastic are releasing a The New Season Edit. I can spy the new SDJ body cream - I still need to try out my sample. That looks like a virtue product. Anyone think they can suss out anything else?

I wonder if the tiny blue tube is laneige water bank aqua facial - it's been in lots of edits recently. It's very nice, I like it

That's better than my guess, I was thinking it looked like a nivea lip balm 🤣

Is the red a WA mascara? There is a perfume sample next to the SDJ cream - I ordered this from SNK today so may return depending on what is in this edit.
Is the item on the right a SDJ or Ouai spray? Looks like SDJ to me

I thought WA mascara at first too, but I'm not sure LF do WA. I also thought sdj, but it's a bit disappointing if they put 2 sdj products in.

I think the virtue product is a conditioner, unless it's the oil in a non see through bottle.

It's all so blurry, I can't tell what most of it is 😣
