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. 😬

Yes, on my one use of the medicube so far the actual peel off was rather disappointing so on further applications I will be using a much thicker layer.

My FtF edit arrived. Overall I'm pleased with it, a couple of things I'm not interested in but will use most of it.

The universe has clearly been taking note of my posts as FtF included a sample sachet of the Dermalogica cream I posted yesterday about wanting to try.

Cmon SpaceNK I want my voucher so I can buy unnecessary edits 🙏🏻🤭

Mine was in spam @Willow742

It came through shortly after I commented so they must be watching here 😅 edits secured 🙌

I have cashed in my SPACENK 15% off plus £5 reward credit that was due to expire by buying some own brand body oil. I love body oil, so this was a good way to try a new fragrance with almost 50% off.

In other news:

I have succumbed to the temptation of another eBay Stacker for my cupboard.

It’s entirely possible I have got a bit carried away with my Stacker/Vlando storage over the last few months…

Got the BBC box.
Hair bow net clip with pearls - charity shop
Essie pale pink nail varnish - universal good shade but don't need.
Lumeme hydra gel mask 15ml mini - already got and not thrilled with so unused
6 pairs of grace and stella eye masks - on the fence
OPI 7.5ml cuticle oil - I don't care about my nails enough
CT setting spray 15ml - maybe, I've got the huge milk one from SNK advent which will probably outlast me
Nest lychee rose oil 6ml - Noooooo I've already got this though mine is 8ml.
Archive 50ml scalp serum - not looked at ingredients but will most likely use this.
100g Galinee cleansing bar - not sure yet
Trinny illuminator pot in starlight - might keep not big on illuminator creams
Shiseido - Ultimune serum 10ml and supreme cream 15ml. Got the serum prob will try.
Bobbi brown mini bronze shadow stick - got 2 already don't need
Gold solid bracelet with diamante heart one end and gold heart other end - charity shop
Peacci manipedi mask 75ml - no idea.
Do like the cloth bag it comes with.

This was a £60 box paid £40 though.

I have my SNK £5 reward! I am wanting to treat myself to a Diptyque perfume- Please can I ask what code people are using to get extra discount?

@Theresalotgoingon Which one are you getting? Diptyque has a good GWP at the moment….

15% off CB scent edit - £34 and the WA edits.

I’ve got the CB fair edit in my basket now at 15% off. But having talked myself out of it, I’m not sure if I want to head back in…..?

That's exactly what I was coming to post. I'd managed to forget about it. I have £5 credit. Do I want it for approx £58?

FIRST15 code actually takes it down a few pence more to £63.11

Would need to be around £40 for me. Already got nectar, got 4 blushes do not need another mascara or the mirror and would prefer the lighter contour shade than they used in the light pack.

@Hicupping I'm inclined to agree. I think really I would only like the blush. I like the idea of the contour but I rarely contour my face. Not sure I'd start just because I have this. Selling everything on would offset the RRP on the blush by a lot but can I be bothered for one nice blush I definitely don't need?

I talked myself out of it once. I should just leave it unless it gets heavily discounted.

I spoke myself out of the WA when it was released and am staying strong as really only want the contour as have the blushes and highlighter and don’t need any more mascara’s.

I am however tempted with this as am loving the Decree and the Medik8 cream.

I've had a bit of a spendy week, once you start spending it makes it a bit too easy to spend a bit more.

I've bought WA eyeliner and concealer with the free MAC gift and Givenchy Prisme Libre 4 colour loose powder. I do need new foundation but not sure which to buy, any good recommendations? I figure the ladies here would be in the know 😉

I was tempted by the CB scent edit, but the pistachio perfume smells like bathroom cleaner on me, so I think it would need a further discount to tempt me. Again, same with the WA edit, I'm glad they've listened to feedback about the price but it would need a further discount to be tempting. The Sephora gourmand scent edit is calling me though, mostly for the Cherry scent, sounds right up my street but unsure.

I am also tempted by the Hydrobalm in cafe creme, but its very hard to tell how the shade will play out as it is quite sheer I believe, so I'm on the fence if it's worth it.

My 2 Code8 lip colours arrived. I. Love. Them! Super deep rich colours. I’m going to wear tomorrow and see how it lasts.

Really pleased!

@MrsBnow12 that's pretty good value. Those kits don't usually reduce do they? Yet another tempting thing. 😬

I still haven't opened the WA edit that I bought. I think that's a sign I should return it, usually I'm super excited and rip through stuff as soon as I receive it 😕

I’ve discovered a bad consequence of having so many WA lipsticks is they won’t all sit nicely in my makeup tray because of the magnets 😠

They don’t normally reduce, only times I can recall from last year was for Black Friday. I expect it
probably sell out over the next few days due to the reduction.

Did you get one? I'm so tempted due to the value but that's just the FOMO talking.

Yes I bought one, I also bought two at full price when it launched. I did sell the cleanser and mist on the freaks group and kept the bag (they are ideal for storing travel
size perfumes, as is the Lancôme holiday bag) Decree and Medik8

I just wanted up comment on sol d J 91 which people mentioned was very like PDM Delina.
I happily report it does. Only sprayed this evening so not sure of the longevity- but I think it’s lovely. Lighter - might prefer it.

Oh interesting @BlueLimes
I must make a note of that. Then lose my one of many note pads 🤣
