Has anyone heard anything about a Sisley flash sale? I got this email over the weekend, and have been eagerly awaiting today because I’m currently using a sample sachet of their under eye concealer that I really like and was hopeful of a discount or free gift or something.

But there’s been absolutely nothing about it today. Not on email, not on their website, not on their social media, nothing.

Very frustrating !

Marking myself safe from the M&S box.

Eyeing up the Boots “new & trending” box but they’ve discounted most boxes recently so I might wait.

I still haven’t tried the medik8 toner from the CB Xmas edit, so easy pass on the LF skin edit, but seriously tempted to go for the other one, which feels like great value at 20% off, even just for the Rodial drops. Has anyone tried those?

Less convinced by the JL GWP than I was originally. I’m not sure there’s much in it I get really excited about. But let’s see.

On the other hand, @IlovePond i just went down a 15 minute black hole working out what colour SK box I want…..sooooo tempted by that one! Maybe we need to join forces and place a single order for all the MNers SK boxes together instead of each spending £60 for free postage…?

It's there on the website for me, selected products only

How bizarre!

even if I click through the link on my email, there’s nothing!

Now I’m even more irritated by it

edited to say that actually I’ve now spotted the tiny banner at the top of the website that takes me through to the “flash sale”. Perhaps predictably, there’s practically nothing in it and certainly nothing that I want.

So now, do I buy the Sisley concealer full price, or the Victoria Beckham concealer with 15 off 🤔

Hello !

so I’m not sure if this has been posted but I’m going to pop it on just in case 🥰

And this one . Debanhams

Sorry also apply code GET5

@Fillybuster it's 25% off the other look fantastic edit so it makes it £33.75 🥳 I've not tried these rodial bronzing drops before, I didn't like the blush drops, I felt they made my face look greasy, but it sounds like these go under or instead of makeup so I'm hoping I like them 🤔

@SunnyPinkMoose oooo they're good prices 😍 off to have a look 🤪

Does anyone know when Harrods gwp launches?

Tomorrow, apparently!

I would go to this as I’m a big fan of Lumene, but I’m working

It’s up now and is a straight £40 , and I’ve got a sparks offer for £10 reward if i spend £50 on beauty …

Wonder if it will be like the advent calendar all over again with a secret early launch ..

@SunnyPinkMoose ive ordered the clarins advent calendar. They sent me £10 off a £50 spend for my birthday so I just couldn’t resist. It’s also worth noting that with a £70 spend on clarins at Debenhams you get free clarins summer GWP. So because I am soo weak I also added a shower gel to make the £70 spend.

I'm almost ready with my basket 🙂 but I think I'll do my Dior order first, get to £200 to get the free gift, which annoyingly you got with a £100 spend last week but it does also get me to gold status too. I'm actually hoping dior change the gift as I'm not keen on the pouch and not impressed with the tiny SPF sample 😡 Then the other items I want from Dior, I'll buy from Harrods and put towards getting the gwp. Luckily, I get paid tomorrow 😳

Thanks to everyone who gave advice/recommendations on toners 🥰
I didn’t realise some were exfoliating and some weren’t. I have a couple of the Elemis apricot toners in my stash as I had put away the gift sets I ordered from QVC, so I’ll dig one out and start making my way through before trying another brand.
I used a bottle years ago but it was sparingly so I didn’t notice any benefit. I used a cotton pad to apply it, but Keeley (skin whisperer) did mention a while back about using it as a spray to freshen up during the day as well.

I was being tempted by the discounted edit with the medik8 toner but it makes sense to start with what I’ve got, especially as I’m still weighing up that Harrods and JL GWP.
I’ve decided I won’t bother with the Dior one as the GWP is nice but they have definitely had better ones on offer.

Offer

@Thelifeofawife yeah I'm not loving the Dior gwp either 😕 I might wait until the next one.

Have I missed where this is from?!

Is it the white pouch?

Yep. America have a really nice pink one at the moment. To be honest, I really don't need anymore Dior makeup bags and pouches but that doesn't stop me from wanting them 🤣 I don't use them though. They just get stored, apart from the gold sparkly one from the holiday collection which sits proudly (but empty) on my dressing table 🥰

I’ve that one too - might pop minis on it, well a sub set
