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.

@Fillybuster If you click on the reward in the rewards section, you should be able to add it to your basket from there. I thought it was really confusing and not great that it wasn't available to everyone.

The reward disappears once you have used it, so must be limited to one per person, so I can't do a screenshot of it, sorry.

Tiktok are offering lib now for £44.70, I added it to my basket yesterday then removed it.

It’s still coming up at £52.70 (15% off) for me. Not that I need it, but could have been tempted for £44.70

Hi thank you at @JoRaRaRa I’m looking forward to receiving the perfume i bought from you on Vinted.

There was someone else on here who said they would be selling some beauty stuff on vinted but I can’t remember who it was so I can get their Vinted name.

Has anyone got this? Apparently came out in March but I missed it. Bizarrely there's also someone on eBay selling 10 of them for £130 each - did they sell out initially then restock?

Yes, it's a good edit for the price. Suprised it's still around. It says volume 1 which is making me think there's a volume 2, 3, 4 or more in the pipeline at some point.

Add it to your basket go to checkout, select the discounts which don't work. Exit the basket in a huff, then go back next day :-)

This code brings the Latest in Beauty SPF box down to £58.50.
I can't get good discounts on the TikTok shop at all, think I'm too old for it!
Happy to PM my Vinted username to anyone who wants it 😊

Haha, thanks I’ll give it a go! I’ve only ever bought one other thing from TikTok so I don’t know much of how it works

@Lonely12 I think it was @Doglover73 who was selling stuff - apologies if I am wrong!

In my local Boots clearance section this pm there were lots of Revolution and Barry M eyeshadow palettes, plus haircare and sunscreen and other makeup. Might be worth having a look in your local Boots in case others are also having a clear out in clearance!

@Doglover73 could I get your vinted name please?

Some mentions upthread of Sunday Riley. I love the CEO Glow Vitamin C facial oil having received sone for Christmas (lucky me 😍)
I always buy something on payday and had been eyeing up this set for a while on Space NK. I noticed today that Cult Beauty have it for 20% off with code HIRONSCB, bringing it down to £64.80. This left me 20p short ( gah) for the 15ml CEO serum 15ml gift GWP for £65 spend on SR. I added a 15ml of the CEO facial oil, with 20% off, for £27.20. The CEO serum 30 ml serum is £70, and there is 15ml in the set and the 15 ml GWP, so I am telling myself I am getting the rest of the products for £22, which to me is a win🤣
I”m also telling myself I won’t buy anything else anytime soon…..

Harrods have taken upto 20% off beauty products (including things that are already reduced) and it stacks with the GWP beauty bag. I’m tempted to get a second.

@Beautyfox ive been looking at the Harrods GWP properly, as I think it’s much better than the JL one, but I can’t see anything on Harrods beauty reduced?

Ignore me - I can see it now!

I finally processed my Harrods order. So glad I dithered this time, I kept talking myself out of it but now they have offered 20% off some items it reduced my order by £30, and I had £10 rewards.
Slightly disappointed that the Dior addict glass is OOS but I got the addict shine instead which I had also been eyeing up, so fingers crossed I’ll like it.

I am having real FOMO on the Harrods GWP but the contents just aren't appealing to me. Its been a long wait for a good deal and I like the bag but I already have and don't use/like Colour Wow, SDJ, Tatcha cleanser, PK Elasticizer.
I've looked at it again with the 20% off and still not excited by it. I do want to see the VB/AB shades in person now as that is very tempting with 20% off.

Liberty GWP also did nothing for me but I keep revisiting. I realise I'm getting harder to please because I have tried so many of the products already...a GWP of all new products would be amazing! Its payday and I want to buy something lol, might go to Selftidges on my lunch break for a browse ☺️

@TreesinthePark I agree re both the Harrods and Liberty gwp’s, I have kept a few bits and sold on the rest. The Harrods bag was the biggest draw for me.
The John Lewis appeals the most for me, it has a full size Medik8 cream and a few other bits I will use.

I agree we have been starved of a really good gwp this year

I think I have GWP fatigue from filling online baskets to make up a spend but struggling and ruminating for aaaaaages because I really don't need anything - I've currently got a glorious array of products already owned awaiting me, so even with the extra 10% I'm not tempted by the Harrods offer. The only thing that interested me from that GWP was the sample set of perfumes. I did get the Liberty one in the end as I wanted the CH edit, and that worked out well after the Beauty Drop discount and selling a couple of bits from it on Ebay, but the GWP itself was more 'potentially useful' than exciting.

Well I’ve slept on it and this a.m. I pressed buy. I agree that the gwp’s aren’t that exciting this year however saying that somehow I have ended up with 4 liberty gwp, 3 HN gwp and now 2 Harrods GwPs. 🙈
I thought the eve lom gift set was a bargain on Harrods. The set was reduced from £145 to £58. That’s very similar price to the cleanser alone (£50) and in my head the serum which is worth £145 is free. I like the cleanser and will look forward to trying the serum.

I think there’s something wrong with me! I’m just not feeling the GWPs at all. Maybe it’s because I’m very deep into my commitment to use up things! I am really enjoying seeing my stash and shopping from that and I’m really wanting to refine and find my HG products and then focus on those with the occasional side quest into edits and BD.

BUT I adore reading about the drops and GWPs, and the discussion, and the wise counsel on what may or may not be a good buy. You are beauty geniuses!

I'm also on a reduced budget myself this year, otherwise I absolutely would have gone for the Harrods gift by now too tbf. It's a combination of the GWP products not being well-suited to me, having a quite large accumulation of things to try already and an attempt to shut the stable door budget-wise (well after the perfumed and moisturised horse has bolted)

@Beautyfox the eve lom serum is really nice 🥰 it leaves your skin all glowy! I have 2 in my stash otherwise I would buy it too.

I'm actually struggling to create a basket for £250 on Harrods. I feel like I've started adding things for the sake of it, so I think I'm going to just pass on the gwp. My stash is already bursting 🤣 I've also already bought the evidens mask, eye cream and cellcosmet tonic thing on vinted.
