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. 🤗

That makes no sense whatsoever @Thelifeofawife They frustrate me too.

2 reveals for the ftf mystery box

MZ Skin Microtox Tightening Eye Serum 14ml (worth £155)
Think this is the one BD marked as Olaplex?

BIOEFFECT EGF Serum 15ml

I ordered mine the other day but think it's not being despatched until the 15th, not sure.

This made me laugh…

Thanks, I picked this up as I was doing a Boots order anyway :)

@LouScotamazing! MZ skin must be the 11th item missing from beauty detective list yesterday.
Now I can relax. Yes, I don’t think they will despatch before the 15th.

I haven't been to the Manchester one but thd Bristol one is grim. Space nk it is not! Decor looked very much like they'd just opened a pop up shop in an abandoned warehouse, goods were not displayed enticingly, it was cramped, I couldn't get out of there quick enough.

Which mystery box ? Sorry I’ve lost track …

Glow on the go edit: https://facethefuture.myshopify.com/products/glow-on-the-go-edit

I've ordered now, using the 15Edit code previously posted - looks like a great box for me 😁

Anyone know if any codes that will work with the Latest in Box what’s Hot box - a few things in it that I would like but don’t want to pay over £50 😂

@Beautyfox @SummerLimes so happy with my oh my cream (name still dreadful lol) bag. Free next day delivery and fab samples. Even husband noticed the bag and said it was lovely. The terracotta colour is so summery. Delighted with the sarong too. Just a shame a new company is out to tempt me now 🤣. And compared to bother this year with LF and CB am very impressed!
I slightly wish the base of the bag had a stiff base rather than just fabric as I prefer structure but it’s a small niggle!

SOHOT10 for 10% off and free delivery

Maybe tiktok might have a better offer for LiB @MrsBnow12

The code forFTF box is only available until today I think. I’m guessing until midnight

I know what you mean but it is supposed to be quite a good spray. It's one that's been on my to try list for a while.

Which edit has the bag and sarong in it? I love the sound of that!

@TragicMuse Its the new Oh My Cream! one.

Thanks @user593 I’ll give it a look!

@TragicMuse WELCOME20 gives you 20% off if you’ve not shopped with them before

I've got a £10, £20 and £25 waiting for me to spend at CB and it's weirdly bothering me, I don't need anything though. If I get run over by a bus what a waste.

@Hicupping I’ve told DH he needs to remember my Harrods, SNK and Boots points for DD.
Maybe I’ll make a list including handy hints like buy toothpaste when on offer.

Not sure if this has been posted yet. Code WELCOME10 works on it (according to an influencer). The Keyworker 20% off also works and they are advertising 15% off in the app.

I nearly succumbed and bought it late last night as they sent me a birthday voucher that included free postage but truthfully I only like some of the edit and was being seduced by the green bag - I find those bags really useful. I can't find the bag for sale separately on the site though.

@OvaHere It looks a decent little set, but like you I’m only drawn to it for a few items. The key worker discount makes it more appealing but I’m still not sure, I’ll ponder on it

@MrsBnow12 on TikTok the what’s hot for summer is 35.50 plus postage at the moment

That's a good offer. It's a decent edit.

I was proud of myself for walking it back. I'd got as far as Paypal checkout. I know I make bad decisions late at night and I'm trying not to do that.

Realistically I'm interested in about 5 items with maybe a couple more I'd use because they're there. Plus the bag which I really like. Would be about £48 with the birthday 15% plus free postage - the free postage makes that offer cheaper by a couple of £ than the keyworker 20%.

I kind of know it's something I shouldn't buy if I'm being truthful to myself. 😂
