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 beauty hive I must resist …. Please help me step away . I do really like the Zelens but I absolutely do not need anymore of anything . I’ve gone crazy , I have eight ….. eight orders coming from left right and centre 😱 perfumes and lotions and random cashmere gloves 🤣 I
keep away for two days then I binge read and before I know it BOOM , I have more 😂😂😂😂.

I’ve used the Medicube peel off mask twice while I’ve been away, not overnight but I’ve left it on for 1 hour+. I prefer the Byoma as I find it easier to figure out if I’ve put enough on (the Byoma is white, dries clear, the Medicube is clear, dries clear, so very hard to tell how much you’ve put on) and the Medicube seems to take longer to dry. I wouldn’t be confident wearing it overnight. I think the results with the Byoma are a bit better too. When I finish the Medicube, I’m going to try the BoJ mask @OvaHere has recommended a few times.

I definitely wasn’t buying anything else this month, and lasted all of 12 hours 😍
Boots has an eight piece NO7 Pro Artist gift on a spend of £20 from the NO7 Prime Forever range. I don’t really buy much from NO7, but I thought I would give the primer a try £24.95

@user593 I find the medicube comes off in the night despite me putting on an hour before bed. I will use it up but won’t repurchase! I got the byoma one in the CB Easter weekend sale to try. I love the BOJ honey rice glow, perfect face mask along the the BOJ centella sheet mask!

The BOJ honey rice glow seems to be loved by all, I really want to try it but also want to use up some face masks I already have first. Speaking of masks, word of warning to those that got the recent Cult Beauty GWP with the Medk8 vit c in it, the Dr Levy mask in there is strong - I failed to read the instructions properly and left it on for longer than the recommended 20 minutes and had to fix my skin afterwards with lots and LOTS of moisturisers but it still felt tight and dry for a few days. Totally my fault for not reading the instructions properly of course, but I thought I'd mention it in case I'm not the only one that puts things on before reaching for my specs.

You can combine offers on that deal too.
It’s a general 3for 2 on No7, plus a code on the page which takes off £10 when you spend £20 on the new Prime range (you do have to keep the total spend on the Prime products over £20 though to get the GWP).

I got a Future Prime primer, 2 sets of Prime reusable eye masks plus an eyebrow pencil (I do use their eyebrow pencil anyway).
This triggered 2 extra advantage card offers - a free tubing mascara and £5 off wys £30 on No7.

So the 2 sets of eye masks, primer, eyebrow pencil, GWP, free mascara came to £29.
I’m sure there are better permutations if you play around, but I needed to get on with my day!

Oh my goodness, could you share where from please? I love HG 😍 TIA xx

@marchduck the No7 pro artist primer is excellent! I don’t use much/any of their range these days, but my DSis convinced me to try it out. I’ve nearly finished the bottle, will probably rp eventually but have several other brands in my stash to use first. Might take a look at the Boots offer myself….

@LightandBreezy I’ve been using the dr levy with no problems and quite like it, but very much taking that on board!!

Thanks for sharing the Boots offer, I have ordered the primer and two sets of eye masks and with the offers came to £27.90 and the gwp

Another thanks for the Boots offer heads-up. To get the gwp I ordered the spf primer, the eye patches and the cleanser - plus a Botanics vit C sheet mask on £1 offer and cotton pads with £1 off - all for £32 (should have been £69.04)
Also paid via the Klarna app to get 7% cashback😊

My StyleKorean order of the year pharmacy box has arrived. It’s at home waiting for me and I am VERY EXCITED! Roll on home time!

Pretty quick too, I only ordered on the 1st!

Mine is here - just about to open it 😊

Ordered the party edit from Snk + the cool girl hairspray, to get the hair GWP. Not really that much into hair stuff but it got my points up (I'm on deluxe so £10 per £100) and I will sell the ones I don't use.

I’ve been using the BoJ Centella sheet masks while I’m away as well - I really like those too! I’m excited to try the Honey mask but really can’t justify another mask right now! 😑

Edited : Sorry wrong chat.

OMG! It’s so heavy! What a great box!

My hair GWP from SNK (plus Oribe GWP) just arrived and I'm very pleased with it, big box with loads of goodies to try out.

Thanks for sharing the Boots box @marchduck, although I ended up buying a whole bunch of things I probably don’t need! In the end I bought the fancy primer and then added the gel cleanser from the new range, so that I could use the £10 discount code and still hit £20 spend, then added an entirely unnecessary glow serum, because that was completely free (although if I’d been maximising value or resale opportunities then I should have gone for a second cleanser), and then added a £5 eye pencil sharpener for DD because that qualified for a discount and got me a free tubing mascara, which I’ve been wanting to try for a while. To be fair, that’s a lot of products for not very much spend, plus some extra advantage points too. And it meant I could sort out DHs moisturiser on the 3 for 2 and massively stocked up on antihistamine tablets for the whole family, which was on my to-do list anyway! Not sure how much of the free box I’ll keep, but I suspect DM, Dsis and Dd will all be happy to take a few things.

Edited to add: thanks to whoever mentioned the medik8 offer on amazon yesterday. I ordered 2, which arrived (beautifully wrapped) direct from medik8 this morning.

Oh dear…. I’ve found my people 😭 I’ve actively avoided popping over here because I can avoid everything but temptation! Only a few posts in and I’m apreach over-excited (and have mentally over-spent!)

Hello, my name’s Twatterati and I’m a beauty product junkie, with an ENORMOUS haul of freebies, sample sizes and free gifts to work through, alongside an enviable full-size collection, yet still I crave need more 😁

I cant se about the medik 8 offer on amazon. What did I miss? 🤩

Ooh thank you for sharing this!

The Floral St Sunflower Pop perfume is one of the few perfumes I’ve been complimented on.

I’m glad you like it too, it’s a lovely scent.

Welcome @Twatterati - one of the most friendly and lovely boards where everyone is happy to share advice and good deals - however it can be lethal for your bank account 😂😂

Welcome. You'll fit in nicely here. 😂

I'm doing well, not succumbed to anything in a few days since the Sephora sale. I do still have to go back through airport duty free at the weekend though.

I think I missed it too. For the best as I have plenty of Medik8.
