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. 🤗

you must have different vouchers as lowest I can see it is £54 at the moment

That’s a shame. It was higher a bit earlier then has dropped in price

Has anyone placed CB order using ANNIE code recently and got a free delivery? I have a basked £26 worth of stuff, and the code gives a discount but no free delivery 🤔

Hi I think it needs to be 30.00 after discount for free delivery

It must have changed. With ANNIIE code we used to get free delivery on £5 samples and a mask, so just over £6 spend

Oh that's pants if they've changed it! Didn't take them long to spot that's what we were doing, probably all them 1 mask orders we all put through 🤣

I noticed the free delivery hack no longer working - dammit!

@LoveLabradors ate you are really enabling a oh my cream purchase 😊

I popped into Oh My Cream! earlier. The bag looks really lovely and useful in real life. I was really taken by the VB lid lustres but don’t need them and don’t know much about them.

I popped into TK Maxx to pick up an order earlier (Omorovicza Midnight Renewal serum, their thermal mud cleansing balm and some Emma Hardie cleansing balm - thanks for the heads up lovely enablers!) and had a browse.

They had lots of Korean (I think) skincare but I didn't know any of the brands and wasn't sure if they were the real deal or like the pseudo-posh ones you only see in there (Lange, Christian Breton). Can anyone give me a heads up on which of those brands is worth a try please?

I'm still waiting for my TK maxx - RM sent it on a trip to Scotland by accident.

Ive just looked the one I have is dewy skin spray. I may end up trying. Using kosas spray atm and its ok.
I just expect glamour and luxury items from harrods not your run of the mill items. 🤣

Ive been thinking about this as well.
Like revealing all the hiding places 🤣

The khaki oh my cream has sold out.

Oh no that’s the one I’d have got. Probably for the best 😂

oh hidden places - I think unfortunately for me - DD is a treasure seeker and finder.

I think it's missboux that raves about that beauty works miracle spray so I wouldn't mind trying it 🙂

Beauty detective has now listed most of the products on her website. The little eye concentrate is worth £29 😳 (£145 full size) and cellcosmet is expensive. I'm glad it's going to be the evidens cream mask, I've tried the overnight recovery and the special mask but not the cream one.

@JoRaRaRa I think that might be where I've heard of it.

I think we might get a Harvey N spring gwp by next week too. There was one last year at this time.

I’ve been loading my Harrods basket in anticipation. I wouldn’t normally go for it with such a high spend (despite the GWP being a decent on) but I had my eye on a few things anyway so I may as well get them from here.

I’m also thinking of getting a Dior highlighter or the face glow palette, and Gucci bronzer - has anyone tried any of these? Are they any good, or have you tried something else that was better?

I’m slightly kicking myself as I want to try a new foundation, but I won’t get change to go shopping IRL in time to bulk my order with this.

@Thelifeofawife I have 5 Dior highlighters, I really like and use them all 🥰 I've seen the palettes that they do and they look really good. I'm wanting to get the Dior bronzing stick 😍

Did anyone buy the Dior glass lipstick? I'm also building my Harrods basket!

I’ve got Rosy Charms and love it, plan on putting one in my Harrods basket, ended up placing a Dior today as wanted the gift they had an offer.
Only thing left in my Harrods is BDK Impadia at the moment

This is the one I’ve put in my Harrods basket too! I’ve not tried it yet but I’ve had my eye on it for a while.

What offer do Dior have on?

Ooh, lovely! Which would you say is your favourite? Or top 3?

I was eyeing up the palettes in Selfridges a few weeks back but talked myself out of it as I’d spent a lot around that time

This is the current one, it is a low spend for Dior as it’s normally over £200 to get the bags.
I plan on putting it on Vinted, unless I fall in love with it, to offset the cost of the products I bought.

I’ve noticed on my John Lewis Rewards it says next reward coming 12 May, wonder if that is when the gwp will launch?
