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. 😬

It is mini but fully formed. It’s actually a thing of beauty in its own right.

just to add I’ve not used it yet as I am determined to use up my old stash before I try anything that I’ve recently purchased.

Just discovered this thread and have now bought the CB fragrance edit plus the JL charity one plus other stuff reduced in JL. I need to hide this thread 🤣

I did also find some Benefit bargains in JL if anyone likes their products - in particular the Benefit cheek tint set hugely reduced to £9.95 which one of my DDs loves and has two items in the set (normally nearer £20 just for the tint). Plus the Willa blush palette which was reduced to clear too and it’s the most gorgeous rose shade.

The jl charity box isn't for me phew! 🤣

This thread is so much fun 🥰🥰🥰 but lethal on your bank balance 😄😄😄
Im not leaving though. 😍

Lumene have 30% off make up on their website at the moment. I like their dewy glow setting spray so I'll probably get that. Im trying really hard not to order anything till April but I'm definitely getting FOMO with the SNK fragrance edits and JL charity box 😅

Thanks @Beautyfox that is cute. The listing gave the impression of it being a refill.

Some swatches if anyone interested, the one closest to my wrist is the WA in English Rose and towards my elbow is the VBB in 02, Bob is in the middle.

I really like the Decree Treat Tincture which came from the Face the Future edit. It’s really helped my skin even out tone and texture, and works well with the Medik8 eye retinal, and it’s not sticky at all unlike the MZ Skin Reviving Bio Placenta Stem Cell Serum, which takes over 2 hours to dry (I only use a tiny, tiny amount) and hasn’t made a difference yet, but I will keep trying it, perhaps a different time of day, so I don’t wake up glued to the pillow 😊

I think there are so many serums and personal preferences, it’s really trial and error. But the edits/gwp and Vinted are useful to keep costs down and options up.

It’s the Night Reset Mystery Bundle which has the Decree Treat Tincture in it. I bought two but haven’t started them yet as working my way through Medik8 retinol first.

I haven’t tried the MZ Skin serum but I did buy a couple of MZ Skin The Rich Moisturiser from TK Maxx (thanks to whoever posted the link!). Undecided if I’ll keep the but it’s a good price and the reviews are good too. They have some other products on there as well (but not the serum you’ve mentioned).

Trying a few new things out today. Paired WA HydroBalm in English Rose (gorgeous!) with Rhode Tan Lines Pocket Blush on cheeks (I’ve used this a lot since I bought it a few weeks ago) but it wasn’t pinky enough so dabbed on a bit of Rhode Teacup (new LE Pocket Blush for Spring) and it’s perfect. Teacup is a really lovely raspberry colour.

Allbeauty have a sale on plus extra discount with code TREAT.

Found a new review of the LM blushes I mentioned at the start of the thread. Can't see that they've released in the UK yet.

I know it's unlikely, but if anyone is a fan of Avant they have an offer of a £40 gift card if you buy a £30 starter kit

@MrsBnow12
They all look lovely colours and textures x

Dior have revealed their summer 2026 collection, I'm going to be so skint! 🌼🩷🐞

Take it 🤣

Hilarious!!!
But I thought the exact same when I saw them 😂😂

Thankfully not tempted at all by the Dior 😇 but I’m feeing quite oversaturated lately with all my new purchases.

They're not immediately appealing to me either so that's good.

🤣 It's making me think holiday, sand, sea, and golden sunsets 😍

It does feel like a lot is coming at us all the time. I think I'm like a kid though, I buy something and then I'm immediately onto the next thing 🤣

So pretty!

I love the lippie that’s on the opposite end to the blue one - I think it may be Aurora (but the descriptions are a little… hazy). The blue one itself, I assume they were going for the thought of beautiful crystal blue seas. What I am rather unfortunately getting instead is flashbacks to Twin Peaks and Laura Palmer’s dead body with lips a fetching shade of blue 😀

Hope your dad is on the mend @pinkchampagne1

Thankfully immune too - you did all influence me to get the Zoeva recently though (love the eye pencils).

Anyone tempted by the Jarrolds Good Vibes box it is now down from £50 to £40.
Wish I hadn’t cracked a couple of weeks ago and bought it then.😟 It’s a good box if you are interested in the Dermologica sleep cocoon
