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. 😬

I’m tempted by this just to try the perfumes.

Sorry for such a long link.

New from lookfantastic. Looks ok.

I was just coming to post that @Doglover73 😊 I've never tried anything from moroccanoil but I'm not really interested in it. I did buy this hair edit from next, which I think is a good price 😍

Yes, I think it's going to be called aurora. I like that one too 🥰 apparently the blue is meant to resemble the blue sky, but I also immediately thought it was meant to be the sea. All of the colours remind me of a little mermaid toy that I had when I was younger. The blue sea on it was the same colour in the palette 🤣 I am a bit interested in trying the blue lipgloss but I can't justify spending like £50 to just try. I'll have to take myself off to town, but I guess I'll end up spending that in parking instead so I best just order it 😜

That's a nice little edit @ElizabethG81

A tip for long links is to deletete everything from the "?"mark onwards - so your link shortens to:

This is the 'The Little Mermaid' toy that I had when I was younger, I think it's safe to say that Dior defo got their inspo for the collection from it 🧜🪷🐚

Did anyone buy any of the mystery boxes from Next and did the contents match the ones in that video? (Sorry can't remember who posted it). I wanted to try the living proof triple bond complex that's in the box you bought @JoRaRaRa and the mystery box is cheaper, but I can't be sure whether it will be included (it was in the video review, but I'm not sure if contents vary)

That looks good value for the spend. I'm not into highlighters but I reckon that would double up as an eyeshadow

That’s a spectacular toy @JoRaRaRa !

Welcome to the thread @TheGreenBow - this thread is lethal for the bank balance but so good for bargains 😹

@IlovePond it's nice, isn't it?! I don't think I played with it as much as my parents thought I would. It was in a great condition when they sold it at the car boot. Although, we did always look after our toys anyway 🥰

@namechange0998776554799000 I'm trying not to purchase mystery boxes this year, unless it's like the FtF one where we can be pretty certain on it's contents 🤣 I had a small triple bond complex from an edit last year, liked it so much that I bought the full size of it. It does last a while too, even at that size.

The link to that bridal beauty box isn't working, well it does take you to ASOS but then it won't let me check out. Have we broken it through over use?

I’m at checkout as far as payment details with one now @IDontHateRainbows so it looks like it’s working for me. (I’m not buying, just checking if I could).

@IDontHateRainbows it might be just yours, as mine is also working fine, although I'm not buying it, I was just testing for you 😊 Maybe try it on a different browser?

I've just purchased it via the Klarna app (gives 3.5% cashback) - code NEWHERE also took it down to £25.50 with free next day delivery

Does anyone have any other ASOS discount codes?

could you use an alternative email address to get the newbie 15% off code?

I might do that if I can’t find another one!

Posted on the old thread by mistake...

@IlovePond - I've resisted the Style Korean Prep to Glow Box but am tempted by the Pharmacy one - have you made any further purchases from SK recently?

Managed to order the ASOS box, not bad value for the £££ esp with the discount code.

@keepincool - I bought a lot of the rosemary Aromatica shampoo products last week but have resisted the glow box as I mustn’t keep adding to my stash. Hair products I can justify as they get used!

Photo of me this morning after going in heavy with the YSL Nude Lavalliere 😅
(10 points for those who know who this really is 😁)

Una Stubbs!

I was terrified of that show @Thelifeofawife

@IlovePond Re your post on the old thread re JM Cypress, I love it too but haven’t bought the full size yet as I’m not sure it lasts well. I should have probably bought it when CB had 40% off but didn’t think in my panic. I’ve bought 10 samples of it though 🫣
