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

[OvaHere]

Time for another thread. Spring and Summer releases are trickling out to tempt us AND the advent calendar waitlists are appearing...hope you are all feeling suitably Christmassy. 😂

Thanks everyone who continues to contribute to the chatter and welcome to any newbies who want to join in.

I’ve been trying to stay away from these threads lately so save money but can’t help
myswlf.

something I bought recently and love so much is the Lisa Eldridge lip and cheek balm stick in the shade meeting the ex. I genuinely love it I use as blush and lip colour and it’s beautiful and fresh. I am a light summer so it works very well for me x

I cant find this x

I've bought the edit and will be selling the Kat burki. I have to be careful with vitamin c, I've only found Medik8 serum to be fine with my skin so I bought quite a few of the fairy gwps 🤣

Finally something to get excited about and get the juices flowing. Ive sold a fair bit on vinted so stuff is leaving. Albeit slowly 🤣

They make it hard to find the edits 🤔🙄🤣

I really struggle with vitamin c too as I found out after the first day of using the MZ skin glow boosting ampoules (the first am is vit c). I’m on day 3 of recovery. It’s like I was sunburnt after using it (inside all day). I’m a sucker for punishment though so may try the Kate B to see if it has the same impact as I’ve not tried it before but I will make sure it’s a day when I can hide for a few days afterwards if it goes wrong!

I will happily buy it off you!

Very pleased with the Caroline Hirons edit. I'm not a fan of hers but the Skin Rocks products I've used have been good. Still had a bit of my BD balance left so added one of the Lisa Eldridge Velatura balms...

I don't love the wash bag (and am drowning in them!) so I'll list that on Vinted as a bundle with some of the BD products that are hanging around.

I DO NOT NEED IT.

But my god, do I want it! Especially with the GWP...

Do people think this and the GWP will still be available tomorrow when it goes live to non-beauty droppers? I don't want to sign up again but I do want to spend the £60 of credit I already have 🤔 not sure if Liberty edits ever sell out before they go fully live though

Triple posting because I'm a horror, but this link should let you purchase now even if you're not a beauty drop subscriber: www.libertylondon.com/uk/founders-kit-by-caroline-hirons-000872146.html?utm_source=libertystatic&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=260519-WK16-TBD-Founders-Edit&S2REF=7772851222&cuid=7772851222&fbclid=IwdGRjcAR5HLljbGNrBHkb12V4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHmK2DgVi_01Z2xwc6tXHaHDmCKjwZGfktZ4NnQF3kq7JuD3zOt4Qaz4AL28r_aem_Ubou519Xn6TY3ZkpDJHWcA

I think the edit will be around. The risk is the gwp. I’m actually surprised this is still available. I think you can buy using the above link even if you are not BD members. Not to enable but the beauty drop discount on the edit would cover the cost of the beauty drop for the next 3 months.

Just had a mooch around the shops, picked up the free Clarins sample from JL using their rewards scheme and tested a few Half Magic items at Sephora. I am far too old for glitter but the Glitterpucks are amazing, the finest and prettiest glitter/shimmer I’ve ever seen, so I am going to need at least one of those 😑I also found my shade in the IT Cosmetics face balm, which I really liked, but I already have 5 foundations/ tinted moisturisers on the go 😣

@user593 you are never too old for glitter 😃

That’s good to hear as I just bought the Glitterpuck and another Half Magic eye shadow. I found a 21% off code so it would be wrong not to, right? 😇

Glitter, you say…

Honestly I’ve been into makeup for decades and not come across anything like it 😅

I do rather like the new Liberty edit. I think it's good value but I'm determined not to buy it as I already have a couple of the items. There's a couple that would go straight on Vinted and I have many equivalent products to the rest of it. It's a shame because I do kind of want it but am far far away from needing any of it.

Still not bought the CB edit either.

Hi I’m not sure which is better to get the liberty gwp or the Harrods. Liberty I have 120 in my beauty cash pot. Aldo not sure which is better between the new liberty edit and the just for you edit.

I think both the gwp’s are a little disappointing compared to last year. The Liberty one has a lot of stuff that has been in previous beauty drops and edits so there was nothing new for me and quite small samples although I quite like most of the products. The Harrods one just didn’t do it for me. Lots of little samples and lower value bigger items. However, the bag is lovely.
I really can’t help with the liberty beauty kits because I purchased both! I think both have a nice balance of things in them although maybe the new one is better ‘value’. I also prefer the perfume in the new kit too.

Does anyone here use the Decree Protect Elixir that was in the Debenhams female founders edit?

I sold one on ebay and she has complained that it is a different colour to her previous one and is watery.

I've refunded her but wanted to check if any of you had a similar experience? She's saying that its normally white and gloopy , and the one I sold her was yellow and watery .

I I like the Liberty kit, and it is in my basket. I have a 15% code that brings it to £127. I did a basket for £300, but the GWP doesn't stand out for me, so I might just buy the kit. It seems a bargain.

I cant remember who posted about the Gatineau bags last week, but I received mine this week and its lovely - the products look fab! Thank you

I haven't opened mine yet. There's pics here, looks more on the yellow and slightly watery side to me.
