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.

@BakeOffRewatch @JoRaRaRa I haven’t used my votary stash yet (I have 2 of them) - I think I used once on my face but can’t even recall how long for, etc.
How are you using on your legs, the same way as your face? (If so, please remind me of timings 😅)

There’s a lot of Glow Recipe on TK Maxx at the moment if of interest to anyone. Also some Memo Paris fragrances and they’ve added an eye cream to the MZ Skin they’ve got in stock.

I can’t even think about this years advent season, I’ve got a huge stash to get through, far more than I realised!
Thanks to the issues I had with the delivery of my drawer sets recently, I ended up with 5 sets, the damaged ones I dismantled and stacked the drawers on the undamaged sets. I filled them all up, so 15 drawers, and still have stuff in various other boxes/underbed 🙈
I also went through my fragrances and have loads more than I realised - I’d forgotten all about the 2 SNK fragrance edits I’d gotten as well.
AND, I still have my JL and Lumene BACs unopened 🙈

@IDontHateRainbows I also really liked the Harvey Nicks BAC and FAC, they had a great range and the prices were very reasonable

Hi has anyone else not received their ysl 50.00 voucher. I ordered the perfume discovery set, it was delivered last week and I still haven’t received the voucher

What votary stuff have you got? I put it on my legs and then washed my face as usual and washed it all off in shower. The radiance peel is meant to be 15min, I can’t notice any difference on my legs to be honest!

I got mine via a separate email that had gone into my spam.
May be worth contacting them and asking for it to be resent

@OvaHere nealry time for our next thread!

Should I start an AC thread now? I said I wouldn’t 🙈. But I’m so excited! Something about the hot weather makes me want lots of beauty makeup and skincare. I’m also absolutely loving everything in my Cult Beauty Limited Edition AC so far. Was going through the booklet last night.

I would be interested in blind buy Cult Beauty, Liberty, Space NK and Harrods.

I dont like opening in December because I’m too busy.

I also loved the bargain January season, the Elemis calendars were a fantastic price and I’m of half a mind to just buy makeup in summer whilst I’m excited about it and then do the AC buying in January.

Haven't been on in a few days so need to catch up, but our friend the Fairy has the new cult beauty gwp for £12.49 this time 👀

I would love an AC thread now 🙈😂 We have to be prepared.

I used the Allies of Skin SPF50 yesterday for a fast hike. It wasn't hot hot, under 20 yesterday. It's true what it says it goes on matte. The reason for this is it feels very silicone because second ingredient is dimethicone. Problem is I don't think it allowed my skin to breathe when I was exercising and my face got very hot, the same doesn't happen with Supergoops mineral SPF, I go red but not hot hot.
Just an FYI as I think this would be great undermakeup as would also be like a primer for when you're lounging around on a sunny day doing nothing much. But I won't be using again for exercise.

And has already gone up to 12.99! Demand led pricing 🤣

Good to be ready @BakeOffRewatch 😊

Ooo I'd buy the cult gwp but its sold now - I'll keep an eye out in case he's got a few of them

I just got the SNK free Tatcha moisturiser duo that a few others have been offered on email. It's triggered by getting enough ndulge rewards to be halfway to the deluxe tier.

The code is down at the bottom of the email and only valid for two weeks, so if anyone else might be in line for it it's worth looking out for.

It’s a nice touch but so easy to miss it so def worth keeping an eye out. I must admit I’ve been really impressed with their rewards scheme. The birthday beauty gift was nicely presented too. I’m now about £100 away from the deluxe tier. Do they give a gift once you’ve reached deluxe?
I’m still unsure of their customer service, I get really annoyed when I get a generic cut and paste response to a specific question which doesn’t answer my question and this has happened twice now but I wonder if the customer service is better when you are a deluxe member?

I've got another £500 to go before I get deluxe so I guess I'll find out then!

Mine is on its way, thanks for the heads up. To be fair I do need some hair products so this will give me some new ones to try out.

Thanks for sharing @Willow742 Hair products not really my thing, but definitely a good price for anyone who was eyeing up the CB offer!

Can someone remind me of the Fairy’s name please. Not that I need hair products

I would say it is better. The not waiting in a phone queue when you have an issue is appreciated.

I am slightly irked with them today as they sent me an email offer at the weekend for 5ml Tatcha eye cream free with any Tatcha purchase (no min spend). I was buying some EH cleansing balm anyway as my sis sent me a belated birthday monetary gift so added a mini Tatcha balm too.

There's a stock issue with the EH so that's dispatching later. The other half of the order arrived today and they clearly didn't have the Tatcha Vit C eye cream.

They have substituted it with Sunday Riley AutoCorrect 3ml and 2 x 1ml Tatcha moisturiser but still annoying as I specifically wanted to try the Vit C eye cream.

The email does say limited stock but it added to basket fine. Not worth arguing over but something to bear in mind when they tempt you with freebies. There's always a oopsie we ran out clause.
