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. 😬

Not sure if it's been mentioned but the Glossybox egg has 30% off with the code EASTER30 taking it down to £35.

Thanks. Have thought about it all morning and finally caved.

I know!

I have been SO GOOD!

IlovePond · 31/03/2026 17:57

I suspect I will be putting stuff in my basket tomorrow @TragicMuse - I really like SK - such a great company!

SK? Space NK or somewhere else?

IDontHateRainbows · 31/03/2026 18:45

Ah, style korean. Thought it was space nk i'm lusting after the tatcha indigo cream which is the only barrier repair cream that works on my poor perfume addict skin ( constantly spraying /sniffing perfume isn't easy on the skin) , it's the only one that doesn't sting but it's the most expensive one and I'm not paying full price!

Doglover73 · 31/03/2026 19:26

I've caved and ordered gloasybox. £35 is a steal. Omg i cant stop buying stuff 😅

OvaHere · 31/03/2026 19:57

user593 · 31/03/2026 10:46

Willa is the first one to have sold out! ☺️

I was going to get this but I've been out all day. I definitely don't need it so it can wait until another offer. I'm also going away soon so I don't want many parcels arriving whilst I'm away. DS can take delivery but I'm trying to be good.

I will probably order from the Sephora sale and hope for the best as they only do 25% off twice a year.

Did anyone list their purchases this month? I haven't even bothered, I knew I would fail 🤣

I seem to have bought a load of perfumes, just of the top of my head, I know I've bought the Selfridges fragrance edit, 2 of the SNK edits, 2 new release perfumes from SNK, 2 ysl blushers, 3 morphe blushers and a jacket from river island.

I bought:
a Vinted goodie bag full of samples for £15
New brick walls for my house
New drains for my house
New fencing for my house
Boring but sadly necessary

Tomorrow is a new month and there are some very lovely things on release that I am stalking ❤️

That doesn't sound boring, that sounds exciting!! New brick walls are very essential for the house 😄 Are you doing an extension?

We've been doing the garden, we bought a bag of stones for £6, thought 3 would do, we needed 15 bags 🤣 ah well. We've also been out for drinks a few times which quickly adds up 😳

I've got my sister's birthday and my nephew's 18th this weekend, plus my dad's birthday next week so I doubt I'll have much money left by the end of April 🤣

BlueLimes · 31/03/2026 20:50

2x CB fragrance samples and 2 minis to get free shipping. £22
2x Zoeva eye pencils (love them but seem to get through quickly). £40
VBB eyeliner and a perfume (to be gifted) to get SNK GWP £88

Jacket m and s £60
2x tops and linen trousers Zara approx £100

Aoorox £310 although probably forgotten things.

Obviously going through an eye stage !!

Sminty2 · 31/03/2026 20:55

@JoRaRaRa it is exciting!

Yes, I’ve had the garage converted into a garden room, with French doors opening onto the garden. And it’s now linked to the house so I don’t get wet going to use it.

It’s just made everything better, easier to use and more comfortable space.

That’s a lot of birthdays! My family all seem to be born in August, dangerous month 🤣

Garden next year, scary how expensive stones and slabs are!

dc82 · 31/03/2026 21:27

I’ve still been following the thread but sitting on my hands ……a lot.

beauty

  • Make up brush
  • maybelline blurring lip liner
  • LRP cicoplast (this is a constant I always have floating about)

total - £41

Clothes

  • Uniqlo spend - T-shirt, polo shirt etc
  • M&S Tops

(this is me in my way of it sorting layering staples for spring/summer)
total - £110

Not bad, however I do have my eye on the style Korean box tomorrow 😆🤦‍♀️

JoRaRaRa · 31/03/2026 21:32

@BlueLimes oh yeah, I forgot about the CB sample orders, I've done a few of those 🤣 I also got the scalp to sole edit from CB.

@Sminty2 ah that sounds lovely 😍 we had an extension built last year and it's so worth the money when it's all done, it's just so expensive and easy to get carried away. I'm eyeing up the living room for the next job 🤣

JoRaRaRa · 31/03/2026 21:33

@dc82 oh you've been very good 🥇 I don't know how you manage to resist the bargains, I need your skills 🤣

26inprogress · 31/03/2026 21:41

Up to 20% off beauty at Liberty on now.

IlovePond · 31/03/2026 22:14

Mm: Trying to think what I have bought in March:

2 x CB perfume samples

That led to me buying:

MM Replica 30ml - got it for 2/3 off RRP
JM 9ml - used CB voucher so £8

Both of those have gone in my DIY a/c.

Plus:
Boots face mask for 68p to get the free lip jelly pot

Stackers organiser from eBay, (I can’t remember if the other organisers were bought this month or last!)

I don’t remember buying any other beauty products, (which doesn’t mean I didn’t 🙈).

I also bought a skirt and a dress - both reduced. I was quite pleased with those and don’t feel guilty about buying them!

Hicupping · 31/03/2026 22:21

CB has the WA Lip balm with 20% off, the free voucher with spend is still on and if you haven't used it £15 amazon voucher with £50 spend via vouchercodes still on but ends at midnight

Cyclingmummy1 · 31/03/2026 22:27

£165 on beauty boxes.

Swimsuit and bikini, approx £90

White jeans £40

I think that's it.

IDontHateRainbows · 31/03/2026 22:51

Got the 10ml nest creme de clementine and 5 x mini i dont know what's for £25 free delivery from CB. Everywhere has reductions on fragrance tonight. Sign o' the (economic) times?

JoRaRaRa · 01/04/2026 01:56

Well we're only into April by a few hours and I've already spent a fortune on dior 🤣 I bought the bronzer (they're doing a pink and coral version, I went for the pink and now already wondering if it was the wrong choice), the highlighter, the terracotta eyeshadow palette and the aurora lipgloss.
