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. 😬

So glad I am not alone in my shame @user593 😹

IlovePond · 20/03/2026 11:18

I hadn’t realised I had posted in the old thread 🙈

IlovePond · 20/03/2026 11:20

Copied from old thread:

The five samples for £5 deal is back on the CB site. I have fallen in love with JM cypress.

I have therefore ignored my own small sample ban and ordered some more of the JM cypress - I am not paying £24 for 9ml when I can get 7.5ml for a fiver!

Code: ANNIIECB gets free next day delivery as well as 20% off some things, so I tossed in a face mask to avoid postage costs. Total cost: £7.

I was terrified of that show @Thelifeofawife

Me too! Worzel Gummidge was scary

How do you find the deal? Do you have a link?

IlovePond · 20/03/2026 12:02

@HolidayHattie - it hides on the site and comes and goes🙀

Try putting ‘samples’ in the search box.

If that doesn’t work, if you put something in your basket sometimes the offer appears in green as an add on at checkout.

Edited to say that this link is working atm:

It appears the two new Kayali fragrances have been added to the samples available

Me too. The other one I was terrified of was planet of the apes. I used to sit on the stairs while my sisters watched it.

Thank so much for posting this - is it wrong for me to get 5x samples of witchy woo?!

Thanks for this, it's not like I need more samples but they're practically giving them away at that price 🥳

Definitely not! I really like that one, it smells a lot like Lord Of Misrule from Lush.

Thanks. I might get these.

My JL edit arrived today. Slightly disappointed I got the bright red OPI which was the one I didn't want and contrary to the photo the Bobbi Brown primer wasn't the jar in box but a squeeze tube, no box. Same 15ml quantity but I'd rather have the jar.

It was half price, for charity and I mainly wanted the AB body wash so I won't grumble too much.

Thanks. I added a BoJ face mask for £2, used the code which took it to £6.60 then used £5 credit and paid the remainder of £1.60 with PayPal points.

I went for Nest Strawberry, Aqua di Parma, Fugazzi Angel Dust and the 2 new Kayali.

Mine has just arrived too and I naively thought we got three nail varnishes 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 I also got the bright red one which I’m not sure I’ll use.

However the sol de Janeiro smells amazing and I’m so glad I’ve tried it as I think I’ll rebuy once it’s run out. I think it’s probably worth the money overall and as you say it’s for charity so all good really.

OvaHere · 20/03/2026 13:29

@TheGreenBow It was def worth it just for the AB, the other stuff is just a bonus really.

@Thelifeofawife loved Aunt Sally

@user593 I have 9 things in my basket hoping for another 40% code. 🤣

Doglover73 · 20/03/2026 13:38

Wont let me use that cult code 😤

Do you mean the code that @IlovePond posted? It only works if you add another item alongside the sample scents.

Walking to Waitrose in a minute to pick up my JL box, I will report back!

Not at all, I did this with the angel dust, it was cheaper than buying the travel size 🤣

Oh, I also thought it was all 3 nail varnishes too 🤣 I really need to start reading the descriptions too.

@OvaHere I would've liked a jar too, but it was a free box with a donation to charity, so I won't complain 🤣

BDCB works (I’ve a shower gel and the 5 samples in the basket).

@OvaHere i really like that next fragrance

@JoRaRaRa @Talisin @ClutteredPalace thanks for encouraging me 😊

JoRaRaRa · 20/03/2026 14:52

I used CBXBEAUTYCALENDAR code and bought the 5 samples, 2 of each kayali perfume and a witchy woo, plus the byomi jelly cleanser and a BOJ sheet mask.
