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. 😬

When covid hit, I stopped wearing makeup and would only put it on when I had to be on camera for a meeting or if I was going out somewhere. Over the last year, I've got back into doing makeup every day, but still have the occasional no make up day. My husband isn't always sure if he's getting home from work to someone all glammed up looking ready for a night out, or a sloth in yesterday's clothes 🤪🤣

Is anyone having trouble with the CB sale code? I did an order yesterday, 25% off plus an extra 10% off with the code GOLD (I have gold status) - all fine. I was going to do another order today but whatever's in my basket, when I use the code GOLD it says that code is not applicable to the contents of my basket. Surely it can't be restricted to one order only? I've tried lots of combinations of full price items, sale items etc.

I really hope so! I love that serum and it would be an absolute bargain.

Which colour did you go for? I've been eyeing these up but I can't decide.

ANNIIECB works and takes off a tiny bit more than the GOLD code.

That is weird, but thank you 😍

I have decided to go for the FtF mystery set. For £39.99 it was worth the risk and even if it isn’t the MZ serum, it has to be something decent with that RRP for 2 products. My DH even agreed it was worth a go so I have placed an order 😁

I can’t find the seller, let alone the goody bag! I hate Vinted search, it hardly ever comes back with accurate results.

It was one released with the Rouge Noir collection. Not the RN one - a mauvey pink 357 Irreverente (sp?). I still keep thinking about that whole palette. It was £90 though. 😨

New thread as we are on page 40 but please fill this one first. 😊

The FTF mystery set is in my basket, along with the birthday edit...............

This is appealing to me much more than the Dior bronzer. It's £100. 😬

Pretty sure I can't justify that price for powder but the shade looks lighter and cooler in tone.

@Doglover73 I used my CB fragrance £10 voucher on JM 9ml wood sage and sea salt, (which was one of the samples).

If yours isn’t working on that, for example, I would contact CS as it seems that a lot of the codes are glitchy.

For example, some people were able to use the code to buy 10 x £1 samples, others could use it on any perfume. Mine worked on some things, but not others 🤷‍♀️

Of course, I wish I had bought the JM cypress and grapevine now instead as I have fallen in love with it!

@TragicMuse and anyone else into SK: Does anyone know what time the special anniversary deals are going live each day UK time?

I keep missing the $1 relay deals, (not that I need anything), because they are selling out as soon as they go live. If I knew when that was, I would be ready…

Thanks

the website says 4pm KST, which is 8am (U.K.) BST…

Thanks @TragicMuse

question for @JoRaRaRa and any other blush lovers, if you could only use one blush for the next month, which one would you choose?

@MrsBnow12 - I have been almost solely using my £1.50 Daiso Fwee dupe since November and ignoring all others! So, I guess the equivalent would be a Fwee pot: £16 in Boots.

Tough question! Probably one of the Gucci ones, Coral seeing as it's spring.

I was on the SK site by 8am today and I was still too slow to activate a Lucky card!

I did get the $1 deals, though and I actually wanted/needed the lip balm, so I was pleased with that.

@MrsBnow12 I’m still really liking the Rhode Pocket Blush. The LE shade ‘Teacup’ is lovely. I don’t really use powder blush anymore.

@IlovePond I’ve seen displays for Daiso and Fwee here on holiday. I’ll have to try and have another look!

I’ve just ordered the Elemis Pro-Collagen Neck & Decolletage Balm for when I’m back. Has anyone tried it, is it good?

@user593 - go for it - run, don’t walk!

Where are you on holiday?

I’m in Cornwall - the weather is vile and the dog is hyperventilating with excitement at the smell of all the sheep. (Don’t worry - he’s not getting near them but he can smell them from miles away.) It’s ‘Lake District 2024´ all over again and we still haven’t got over that…

Ooh, I didn’t know they did one, please let me
know how it is!!

Thanks for everyone’s favourites, I had been reaching for the Gucci soft plum most days and wanted something else for spring but also wondering if there are any that people really rate that I don’t have and while the sales are on look to get or put on my shopping list for a glitch/gwp
