Beauty chat - freebies/gifts with purchase/offers THREAD THIRTEEN

[OvaHere]

Easter is here and so is a new thread. Who needs chocolate when you can have beauty stuff? Or maybe have both. 💋🍫

Welcome to newbies and welcome back veterans of beauty chat threads.

PS. As a sobering thought we are maybe only 3-4 months out from the first advent calendar spoiler. 😂

Oh that's good, for some reason I thought it had vitamin c in but maybe I'll give it a go!

This thread has changed my brain chemistry!

My house needs a new battery for the solar power so I was scrolling through some suppliers, and came across a listing for OVO Foundation.

My first thought was, I didn’t know they did foundation …

I need help 😹

I have to wait until Tuesday now as Royal Mail decided they couldn’t deliver to me today.

It was me who mentioned the LRP baume. When I was in Boots and wasn’t sure which to get, the assistant advised me and said a lot of patients swear by this product.

I hope you’re doing okay now 💐

Thank you @Thelifeofawife: completed treatment almost exactly a year ago & pretty much all back to normal. I’m incredibly grateful for a very early diagnosis & fast treatment - it could easily have been so much worse. Took a while to start feeling like myself again (some good days, some less) but mostly very much back to normal. Although perhaps more like to splash out on stuff that makes me feel good without feeling quite so guilty!

That’s good to hear 💐 And a really positive view of the experience.
I do think in situations like that, you need to do things that give you a little lift/joy - they are the times you should absolutely do it without feeling guilty about the spend. In fact, as it’s almost the year anniversary I’d say that’s reason to celebrate and treat yourself ☺️

I'll message DS later and ask him to open and send me a photo.

Happy Easter Everyone 🐰🌸🐣 Hope you all have an egg-cellent day 🎉

I thought I'd share my dream Easter basket, it went a bit rogue with the product names, but it's meant to be dior, la mer, guerlain, ysl, ubeauty, chanel. I was too busy arguing with it that Lady doesn't have a white chest, just a lighter ginger 🤣 Have a beautiful day 🩷

Happy Easter 🐣

Very glamorous pic @JoRaRaRa 😊

CB has additional 10% with code extra off (sorry not very Easter Sunday ish).

Happy Easter, all.

@Fillybuster -I am so glad you are on the mend.

Ordering from SK is quite straightforward. There are no extra customs or duties to pay on your order and they include VAT in your total payment. You just tick the DPD shipping box and it’s $20 shipping for a small order and free if you spend a bit more.

I’ll see if I can screenshot an example later.

Have sephora had double points on all week or have they done a SNK and waited until we've all spent up to introduce double points? 🤣

Thanks, it's amazing what chatgpt can do 🤣

Happy Easter everyone

And can confirm they have done a SNK as wasn’t double points when the sale launched. Maybe it isn’t as popular as CB and LF have the same if not better discounts on.

Sounds about right. 😂 I've been trying to ignore the Sephora sale since placing my small order of two items on the first morning.

Happy Easter everyone.

@JoRaRaRa I used ChatGPT to give me some outfit ideas. DS said it made me look Middle aged - Which I am but obviously not the look I’m going for. I like a polished slightly quirky look.
One if the outfits was loafers and beige chinos 😮

I had a very quick response from CB, they have provided a new £10 code to be used on anything to replace my glitchy fragrance code. Unfortunately, the new code doesn't work either.
Almost didn't bother replying as fed up with it now, but decided on one more email. After this, I'll just move on and definitely not feel bad if the 40% discount happens again!

Hi @Fillybuster it won’t let me add the reward codes unless I sign in, but you can see the different boxes to add the various promotions in my pictures.

As you can see, a small purchase incurs a $20 shipping cost, (but I think they are giving you this back later with points during this promotion). A purchase over $60 is free shipping.

SK usually pre populate the boxes for coupon and member coupon. Customers have to add any reward points, (which can be found in your account under points/coupons - they usually give new customers some points). Then you add the reward code: CLARE10. This is an influencer code that gives 10% off.

It’s more straightforward than it looks. The thing to watch out for is that any time you add or remove something from your basket, the reward points and reward code clear, so you have to keep adding them in!

Hope this helps.

That’s not good @TreesinthePark I wonder if all this glitching is due to the promotion having finished. They should just give everyone with unusable fragrance codes a £10 CB voucher as they know the codes aren’t working - that would be much more straightforward.

Clarins have 20% off today and 9 free samples with every order consisting of 6 best sellers and 3 you choose yourself. Their samples are good sizes, not just sachets

DS has sent me the FTF photo.

Can confirm it is indeed MZ Bio Placenta and Stem Cell Serum 50ml and the Oskia product is the Rest Day Comfort Cream 15ml.

Well chuffed at getting 2 x 50 ml of the serum. I won't say it was cheap as it was still £80 for 2 mystery boxes but compared to the RRP of the serum it's a bargain. 😂

@OvaHere Thank you so much for confirming! That's a fantastic deal so I'm going to get a couple as I love that serum. I never did get around to buying the birthday edit but this is so much better.

Oh fantastic! So pleased I took the plunge now. 😃
Once again JoRaRaRa was spot on with her predictions!

Thanks for confirming @OvaHere I have just ordered a second.
Can I ask if people use the serum am/pm or both and do they use peptides/vit c etc with them?

Thanks @OvaHere I am tempted to order.

Does anyone have recommendations for something to help with pigmentation ? My skin marks so easily.
