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. 😂

I was the opposite, I started off with the intention of comparing them and then buying 1 or 2 🤭

Oh dr Levy are really trying to shift that mask 🤣 It's an easy pass from me.

I was just going to say the same thing!
how much stock is there? 😂
An easy pass from me too.

Thanks. I’m tempted. I’ve never tried any of these products although I think I’ve already got the dr levy mask from a GWP. I hear these sell out quickly?

I have a few of the Laura mercier ones too and bobbi brown ones. I think I also got a rare beauty one in one of the ACs too 🤔 I think I've used it once and then chucked it somewhere 🤭 it'll turn up!

The celestial star is very pretty 😍 I also like the rosewood one too.

I haven’t tried my Rich Creams yet 😅 I have so much to get through. But I need a replacement for the old formula Laniege Cica Sleeping Mask at some point so seemed worth a go!

I doubt this kit will sell out anytime soon as it isn’t one of the best she has curated.
I thought I would buy it but am going to pass.
I did place a Liberty order today as £20 off a £100
spend for beauty drop members and a free LE bag for a £50 spend.

@JoRaRaRa The Dior Rosewood is very similar to one of the rose Laura Mercier ones, will check the name when I am home and only reason why I didn’t buy it and the beige mitzah ones. The Rare one was in the SNK advent

Oh great - now I’ve bought two of those too 😂

Free Trinny Eyeshadow with introductory subscription to Good housekeeping magazine. Not sure how easy it would be to cancel the subscription so it doesn’t roll to full price after 6 months.
I wonder if they might have this as a free item with the June edition (on sale beginning of May) in the shops?

I was talking to my hairdresser about advent calendars yesterday. She asked which one I was thinking of getting this year and I said I might go for Harrods again as have been pleased with it the last 2 years. She had Harvey Nicks last year and wasn’t that impressed so is tempted to go for Liberty.

I can’t get it to take £15 off £75+ and add the LE bag - did it work for you? I didn’t see a code…

Wow, 12 calendars! That is very impressive 😃

Tempted - has anyone here tried the calming moisturiser and have any feedback?

Ah no, it’s my bad - they’ve excluded the Velatura balms!

I got an LE eye palette and lip gloss and then a hourglass eye shadow I had my eye on so spent exactly £100 which was reduced to £80 when checking out.

I think this might be the year I finally get the Space NK advent. I only had the LF fragrance last year and though it was lovely, I missed having a mix of things.

The CB fragrance code saga has finally been resolved. They’ve cancelled the code and added £10 credit to my account. Presumably I can spend it on anything, not just fragrance, so a good result.

I've been good and not bought so far in the Liberty members week, I skipped the one in January too so I'm doing pretty well. 😇There's nothing I really want at the moment so I feel like I'm better waiting for an edit I like or seeing what the advent is like this year before spending my credit.

Thanks for all the trainers enabling! I am going to London next month so I think I might make time to go to Liberty and try on! Don’t know why it didn’t occur to me before!

I can’t remember who asked about Goldfadden MD earlier today (it gets glitchy if I scroll back too far and this thread moves fast!) - their products are lovely, and I bought their eye cream on rp for quite a while before deciding £50 was way too much for that amount of product!

I probably shouldn’t be surprised that the Liberty Adidas collab is so popular here 😍 I love mine, and have been considering another pair for the summer. I can just about get away with it as I wear them for work, plus I barely buy any new clothes these days except gym kit - pretty much everything else comes via eBay or Vinted because I can’t be bothered trawling the shops and it’s more fun and more environmentally friendly to shop second hand.

I have these

I know we are hating on CB/THG but in case anyone is interested, LF have a travel minis edit for £35

www.lookfantastic.com/p/beauty-box/the-travel-minis-edit/17691460/

CB have 20% off from 7pm to midnight tonight. Which is a bit irrelevant since it's almost always possible to get 20% off anyway.

I may still use it, because my £25 birthday voucher doesn't stack with other codes but I'm hoping it will with this. If so I plan to use it along with all my credit and just hope I don't get banned!

I was thinking the same @namechange0998776554799000 . I am hoping that I can use this with the gift cards promotion from a few weeks ago and they stack. If not, totally irrelevant offer for me too.

I tried a biodance collagen mask yesterday - the ones you leave on for 4 hours until they turn transparent. I never realised how much I smile until I tried not to to avoid dislodging it 😆 When I took it off my face was bright red and carried on burning for a few hours, I had to keep putting cold compresses on. I wanted to warn anyone else with sensitive skin to be a bit cautious with them. Having said that, my skin is fine this morning. It hasn't really done anything for the skin on my cheeks, but my forehead looks nice (and I didn't have any reaction there) so next time I'll just use it on my forehead only.

I also used the medicube wrapping mask last week but I don't know how anyone manages to resist the urge to peel it off - I only lasted about half an hour!

I had that with the green biodance. I'm quite underwhelmed with them, I think they're going on vinted or ebay.

@namechange0998776554799000 Have you tried the Byoma? I find the peel even more satisfying!
