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. 😬

Also the midnight blue sparkle looks a bit more muted.

There is currently 20% off all beauty at M&S.

@LouScot it looks good that boots set... I've got so much stuff though, I must not cave 🤣

@Addictedtobeauty I picked up the sunset eyeshadow palette. I think it's so nice and I don't have anything similar. I don't tend to go for them kinda shades. I also went back on and bought the bronzer in coral. I bought the lipgloss in aurora, it looks quite sheer though so I might send that back. It's such a beautiful collection 😍

@OvaHere We’re in day 4 of our holiday and so far I’ve only bothered to wear makeup once 😅 it is very, very hot though. You got me interested in the Summer Fridays blush but I can see what you mean about shelf life, much prefer stick form blush nowadays.

Sorry typos - I meant no looks of horror 😂

Also think I was confusing re the Zoeva green metallic eyeliner- I don’t have it but it looks lovely. I do have a different green which I do like a lot !

You lot all going / being on holiday is making me want to go 😭 I best get something booked.

@JoRaRaRa to be fair lots of us are on holiday but our tans will fade and you'll still have lovely Dior makeup 🤣

I just got my SpaceNK birthday voucher and bought the new SDJ spray and an erborian cc.

Then got a £10 cult voucher and annoyingly I can’t use it on anything that I want, such as hourglass.
I also can’t get the scent sample deal to work. They’re all coming up at a fiver each which is really, really annoying as I haven’t even got to try any of them. So I’ve got 10 credit and 10 birthday voucher and can’t think of anything to buy now.

Also just got my birthday£5 Liberty voucher, along with £20 loyalty and £150 bd. Still not got a scooby as to what I want. I was going to do a day trip down there but tbh, I can’t be arsed with the train/tube and Easter crowds. I’ve got until the end of the month and it’s only a fiver.

Yes it's a lovely blush, I really like how they apply but I can kind of tell they won't last long before being past their best.

I'm in the hotel now. Flying in the morning. Used a mini of Elemis Overnight Matrix cream. It's got a really heavy cloves scent, feels lovely but not a fan of the smell. I thought it would smell just like the usual PC Marine Cream but apparently not.

Made me giggle. 🤩

I bought some of the Lip Ink stuff - I held out for a good 2 or 3 weeks!

But there was an offer and then I found a code for another 35% off and a free gift which basically accounted for the shipping.

It’s weeks for delivery but that’s ok, mean the husband won’t notice!

I saw this ( bought this 🙄) and thought if they were any Murad fans . I’ve got very dry skin and it was a bargain ! John Lewis clearance

The Gourmand and Floral scent edits are back on SNK if anyone me missed them the first time. I'm hoping the Woody edit comes back soon as thats the one I'm most interested in trying.

Luckily picked up woody in store. Interested in another floral set, due to being away bh weekend not sure i can set delivery to come next week

I think your stash might be bigger than mine! 😆 I do have 3 full dressing table drawers full of stuff I haven’t yet started though. 😳

I just looked at the Space NK gourmand perfume set but it is now out of stock. Probably for the best as I have enough fragrance to last about 10 years! 😆

@pinkchampagne1 it's showing as back soon in my wishlist so it may come back again. I wonder if they're uploading returns as they filter back as it went very quickly. I've been obsessively stalking the website since I missed them the first time. One of the many things I'm learning from this thread is buy first, worry about sneaking it past my DP later. (He's of the opinion that I have enough perfume. He's wrong! 🤣)

@IDontHateRainbows that's annoying, do you have a nice neighbour you could redirect it to? Hope you enjoy your break.

I've ordered it, said there were only 3 left so not sure if I got one of the last. Its Royal Mail so I can probably divert to the post office and pick up on Tuesday.

🤣🤣🤣 But I'll have the wrinkles and greys from the stress of being in the UK all the time. I do intend to go on holiday, I just need to actually book it. Looking at the calendar at work though, seems I can only have the end of September off 😕

I sent back those 2 edits to SNK, I wonder if the ones I sent back have been listed or are still being checked over 🤔 I got my refund a few days ago. I wish I'd also picked up the woody one but I do already have 2 of the perfumes and I'm not a big fan of EM perfumes so I talked myself out of it.

My stash has really grown in the last 8 months, which just so happens to be the same length of time that I've been on MN - hmmm coincidence?! I think not..... 🤔🤣

I quite like the look of that JL box but I need to resist 🤔

Thanks @namechange0998776554799000, I like the JL box enough to buy it and if anyone has a £10 off a £60 skincare reward I can confirm it works on the box.
