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

[OvaHere]

Time for a new thread, our first in a MN Community Group. We've chatted and purchased beauty bargains so much we've become a literal tribe! 😂

In other news PLouise was out of the gate with ridiculous speed announcing the first advent calendar waitlist in April.

In celebration I thought I'd try out a poll. It runs for 7 days, there was only 6 options so comment in the thread for those that come under 'Other'.

As always, welcome back long standing beauty bargain hunters and hi to anyone new who would like to join. Usual caveats about the threads being bad for you wallet still apply, but enjoy anyway. 🤗

Good thinking, I'll see what I can find!

@SheilaFentiman I just looked and the cheapest mask is £12! 😱

I think the cheapest thing will be a fabric swatch at £2

2 new CB edits coming soon. I quite like the RSVP one. Does depend on what price though.

I’m safe from both those, fortunately!

My local (but large) Boots won’t take my sharps bins. I have to get them collected by the local council now. I wish it was just one system 😊

Only 50 available

£12 , @TragicMuse ??

Is it a sheet gold mask instead of a sheet mask??

Went on a TK Maxx splurge if anyone is interested in these
MK Skin - Calming moisturiser 30ml £24
Omorovicza midnight renewal serum RRP something ridiculous - £39
Zelens Shiso serum £24 there's also the T shot serum and an SPF.

I believe a few people here bought the Next Luxe box, if anyone has tried the dermalogica calming cleanser would love to know what you thought? 😊 Thank you

Both easy passes for me. Either tried or not my colours x

I did. It's ok. My skin is very changeable. Nice way of putting meno/rosacea/annoying!
I use as an am cleqnse. The odd time my skin feels dry but I do think thats more to with my skin than the product. I do overdo it with products as well.
I think as part of edit its great value but wouldnt pay rrp. Lasts too long as well 🤣

Let us know how the MZ is, I'm still weighing up whether to try that. I really like the rich cream

I really like it. I bought a smaller size and liked it so much I bought the luxe box for the cleanser. It's sooo mild which made me wonder if it could actually be effective, but no problems so far. I always double cleanse if I wear makeup or SPF, I don't think it would remove them on its own.

I bought the Calming Moisturiser and returned it when I picked it up 🙈 as I have four of The Rich Cream and realised it was stockpiling madness. I would be interested to hear how it is though. I’m nearly through my old formula Laniege Cica Sleep Mask which I use for calming my skin. I have an old formula back up but I’m not keen on the sound of the new formula.

This has made my mind up. I never got that far. Hate paying a fiver for postage 🤣

I saw this online, for The Cosmetics Store (the one at the outlets)

I’m wearing the Fwee blush pot today in Faded. Really lovely muted red. Still 10% off + 20% off + £5 off if you buy two at Boots.

I tried the Arden Prevage cleanser. Absolutely not! The beads! 🤢 they get everywhere, they were in my hair ffs. And it feels way too harsh to use every day.

Immediately relegated to a body scrub for the shower.

So I’ve dived into the stash for something else and have a Ren gel instead.

It’s made me want to go mad on Round Labs Dokdo though. I love that, so soft and lovely.

Frankly, I am not safe from any Korean offers today. Someone secure my bank cards…

@TragicMuse The Round Labs cleanser is 33% off at Superdrug at the moment.

My DP just announced he was afraid his ‘vit c thing’ (Medik8 Tetra C Advanced) had run out and he needed another one. I proudly announced I already have three 🙈 Thank you GWP fairy.

@user593 it’s not often I say this (because usually I don’t need as much as I stash…) but I really regret only buying 2 of those!

@TragicMuse the Round Lab cleanser is also £9.90 at All Beauty with code SAVE

I went to Jarrolds and bought a heavenly dress so got a 15% off beauty voucher. Obviously my stash is ridic, so I bought some Laura Mercier handcream in their Neroli scent - it's so gorgeous! I just love it - first smelt it about 18 months ago when they had a little set that I didn't buy, but it's been in my mind ever since! I'm really happy I got it with a discount!

Is Jarrolds nice @TragicMuse? I live hours and hours away, but am wondering if I should add Norwich into a future week away at some point.

It is nice! Has a decent beauty hall, and some really nice clothes concessions.

The food hall is divine! And the cafes are also really nice - not mean portions and not massively overpriced.

Norwich is a really lovely little city - lots to explore and see, a nicely vibrant food scene, pretty buildings, good pubs…I do love it here!

@Hicupping I got the Omorovicza midnight renewal serum from TK Maxx too, I really like it which is a shame for my financial prospects. I also got the Zelens Triple action eye cream and that's nice too. I'm buggered aren't I? Just to make it worse, I came to the end of a few products at the same time so I've just started a more bougie routine all round and my skin is great. Why did I change so many variables?!

Have Liberty always stocked Beauty Pie?
