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. 😬

I splurged on some hourglass: unlocked mascara in espresso, eye palette in futuristic and a concealer. Also qualified for the hourglass GWP. Should be waiting for when I get home on Monday.

What colour blush did you get? I'm looking forward to the new ones being released 💃🎉

Ooo Hourglass goodies 😍 what a treat! I didn't see the gift, probably a good thing 🤭 I did end up buying a load of perfumes so my drought of buying didn't last long

@OvaHere I just packed my blush - 7! To be fair two could possibly be classified as highlighters (Westman Super Loaded Tinted Highlight) 🫣

7 isn't too bad! 😂I'm still at the mentally packing mine.

I'm now wavering on the LE blush despite saying I thought I wouldn't be keen. I watched Lisa's tutorial video this evening which sold me on them more than the one from yesterday. I think they look really nice on the lips which is unusual for a dual product.

@OvaHere My feeling is then the LE won’t be so nice in cheeks…

I’ve packed Merit Archival, Merit Bespoke, Rhode Freckle, Rhode Teacup, Rhode Tan Lines, WA Super Loaded Peau de Peche, WA Super Loaded Peau de Sante.

I wanted to pack some WA blush but I’ve not really played around with them and worried I’ll end up taking something I can’t make look right. The Super Loaded Tinted Highlights are very used - I’d forgotten how much I like them!

Probably not a good idea to have packed a few days early as I’m going to keep going over my choices until we leave.

It’s called sunset swim. I will use it, but as bronzer (which I don’t really need any more of). I prefer pinky tones for blush.

I’m interested in the release of the new LM blushes, they look nice

I’m on holiday and I’ve brought my ByTerry complexion palette and my Xmas Houglass palette and a benetint. I had to pack to bags for makeup and toiletries as I did twilight check in and stayed over at the airport hotel. Now trying to finish up all the minis as I don’t want to bring them all back. Except I’m going to have to find a shop as my Mitchum just ran out. Ugh.

£10 gift card with £50 spend and £20 gift card for £80 spend at CB and the usual 20% codes work.

Look Fantastic has a declining discount, 25% going down by 1% per hour. The ysl blushers are included 🎉 Use code QUICK

Also nars has a up to 40% off sale. Although I didn't find it very interesting.

The IT cosmetics Do It All skin tint balm is now available in the UK (Boots, Cult and LF) - maybe I am easily influenced but lots of the US based influencers rave about this product and has been on my want to try list for a while.

CB have also added a free Alpha-H firming collagen repair cream (15ml) to my basket, free with any skincare purchase

CB offers on living proof range of hair care:
*30% off with code JAMIE30
*free living proof gift worth £45
*eligible for free gift card offer based on spend.

the offers all stack

My space nk freebie haul with the samples has turned out to be a bit of a disappointment with the diptyque sample only 2ml not 5ml as advertised, I thoguht at the time that sounded a bit too good to be true but then again they did one time give AB serum as a sample in quite a decent quantity think it was around 5ml or so and worth far more than the actual order.

Also one of them was subsituted for Ds and Durga i don't know what, which appears in everything and is one of those iso e super layering scents that I personally find a bit boring. If only they'd had a sample of the new debaser in bloom!

At least I quite liked the JHAG banana rush samples I got. And I got a blush sample card from WA.

I just had a look to see if they had any new fragrance samples at SNK, they do but the way they have listed it changes the name; Bulgaria, Man Wood 😅
Made me chuckle on this dreary Friday morning

If anyone likes Sisley SNk 20% off stacks with a black rose free gift. I’ve been wanting to try the black rose eye concentrate for ages. 20% off and free gift how could I not?

SNK are now doing double points on top of the 20% off. Just to annoy everyone who bought in the last few days. 😂

I've just seen that, what a piss take 🤣🤣

What was the gift? Hope you are having a lovely holiday.

Has anyone ordered from boop beauty? I’m tempted for £22.

edit - states the image is the contents (not much of a mystery!!).

@BlueLimes I have, it's worth keeping in mind that boop beauty buy products that are end of date. I bought a tom ford lost cherry perfume, albeit with a really good discount, after recieving a checked the batch code and it was 8 years old. Needless to say, it had very little scent, if I had bought it elsewhere I would have assumed it was a fake. The free gift was also out of date.I'm sure short dated or out of date products are fine for alot of things but worth baring in mind when you buy.

@psuedocream3 thank you. Not worth risking in that case (plus doesn’t have the same treat feel).

That is useful info - boop beauty ads keep popping up for me and they have things like an Elemis vitamin c serum very cheap so I wondered what the catch was!

@BlueLimes yes, I've ordered a few times from boop beauty, everything I've had have all been fine 😊

Thanks for the lip rec and the additional CB pay day ( I assume) discount prompts. Have a caudilie and biossance on their way.
