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. 😬

Good work my friend.....

I ordered both the Dior bronzers and will wait for some online swatches before deciding which one to keep.

If anyone uses Susanne Kaufmann products, John Lewis has a number with 70% off, annoyingly its store only delivery so max one item per order and delivery is £4.50 per item.

@JoRaRaRa thanks. I think it helped that lots of good stuff was fragrance related. I react to a lot of perfumes so I never buy them online.

My halo has also already fallen a few hours into April. I did get the Style Korean box this morning and also added in a Glow BB balm that I wanted to try. That’s all come in at £82. I now need to hope I can sit on my hands for the next 29 days……

I am resisting the Glossybox egg as I don’t need most of the bits inside.

I bought the Next Mother’s Day box and 2 new pairs of jeans for myself in March.
Was an expensive month in other ways as both my nephew and my son have their birthdays a week apart.

25% off selected at Cult Beauty plus for gold members, an additional 10% off over £100 spend with code GOLD.

The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Flushed Edit is now available at Cult Beauty £72 😳 it's nice, but I shall resist, I think I'd rather buy more ysl or Patrick ta blushers. But after my dior haul, I'm not buying a thing, ever again 🤔 I couldn't get any codes to work with it.

Just buy it and join the rest of us who have already failed for April 💁🏻‍♀️🤣

@ilovepond I need to use my £10 fragrance voucher from cult. Feels wasteful not to use. 😅
What's good value?
@Hicupping I bought from cult via the vouchercode to get £15 amazon. Not succumbed before so will see if it happens x

Relentless aren't they?
Im awaiting the vouchers from previous orders. How long do they take to come?
Must check my emails?

I think need to make it a policy that all purchases now unless an edit are end of month when best offers are on. Check your spam as mine came through very quickly

Ah I forgot about my 2x Mother’s Day edits.

Thankfully no judgy bench/charity comments on this thread …

I haven’t got round to using my Medik8 retinol from my Harrods advent yet as I am working my way through the AB one, then I have a Murad retinol, the Decree serum x2 and the Medik8 one to get through. 😳 I really don’t need to add to my stash…do I?! 🤔
If the Look Fantastic egg gets reduced I may be swayed though!

I also have my £10 voucher, but looking at my perfume supply - maybe I should be controlled!!

I usually get them straight after ordering unless they state that it is coming on a certain date. I would chase them. I also have my CB £10 fragrance voucher, it does last 12 months so I'm waiting until I can get a discount on something I actually want. Either the Ellis Brooklyn isla sirena or summer Fridays one.

Thanks @JoRaRaRa
Ive just double checked emails and only received one instead of 2 so emailed them. 👍 only bought to get voucher so want it. 🤣
Ive had the fragrance one but struggling what to buy. 😆

I don't think my harrods medik8 retinol is even in my drawer at the moment. I feel it's in the back up box, waiting for space to appear in the drawer to be promoted 🤣 I'm actually eyeing up things to sell as I've definitely gone mad over the last 6 months 🙈

It is the crystal retinol 3 in the glossybox which is the milder version then the 6 that we received in the AC, so you could use it before going onto the 6? 😊

I’ve tried using the CB voucher on the jo loves roses travel set but it doesn’t work. I wonder if it needs to be a single bottle rather than a fragrance kit. 🤔 or is there a problem with the voucher. What wonderful things did people use their voucher on?

It worked on the fragrance samples. They’ve added Kayali Rose Royale now so could get 5 (or 10, I didn’t try adding 10 which is annoying) of those for free although there’s always the delivery to add on….

@BakeOffRewatch Allies of Skin products are 25% off at CB, plus an extra 10% if you're a gold member, which is the best deal I've ever seen on them.

i bought a trial size kit of the firming cream and GF serum with 20% off and the £10 voucher last week, I'm going to try them now and buy the full sizes if I like them.

There’s also a free Summer Fridays sunlit vanilla sample at the moment on CB with a spend of £60. However you can use your £10 voucher and still get the sample and pay £50.

I’ve got a bottle of Kayali Capri sat in my basket but I feel bad about all my perfume purchases so haven’t checked out yet 😬. But £50 is a good price for it. Although yesterday they also added another £10 voucher to the order and that offer has stopped today so think I might give it a miss.

I'm quite pleased as the 25% off CB was working last night so I managed to get By The Fireplace with 25% off, used my £5 voucher from buying the Replica kit and added the new Kayali samples in the five for £5 deal to get a £10 voucher for spending over £50.
I must admit that though I've never got on with bronzer, that Dior one is a thing of beauty and could tempt me to try again.

It looks nice but I have Mood Exposure in another palette and I'm sure I have Luminous Glow in a mini single. I think it would be lovely for someone who doesn't have any. Mood Exposure is probably my favourite HG shade.

That £10 is the deal that looks like it stopped today so you did well. It works on anything too - no minimum spend. Bit annoyed I didn’t check out yesterday now but maybe that’ll make me abandon my order which can only be a good thing 🤣

All these offers coming out and I'm going away this evening. I need to hold strong. 😭
I was going to have a little browse in the airport but I find in person shopping challenging sometimes knowing that you can pretty much always get a better online deal somewhere.

I bought a travel size Angel's Share on the Rocks.
