[OvaHere]

New thread. Everyone welcome to join to chat about beauty bargains or just beauty in general.

Thanks to everyone who regularly contributes and keeps us whizzing through these threads.

Now we're in June we might be seeing the first Advent reveal before the month is out! Exciting times. 😍

I buy that much i have no idea 🤣
I think it may have been in cult beauty indulgence box a while back.
Ill definitely use it more sparingly next time. It says it works better with a toner. 🤔

Still worth buying something - free delivery is £40 min spend I think

I just checked and it was the CB Skin Supreme edit.

I bought that one which means I have the serum mini somewhere. Damn. I wonder where I put it? Hopefully I didn't sell it. 😂

It might be in the box of minis I have, I did sell on a lot of stuff from that after xmas so I hope I didn't foolishly think I wouldn't use that one. 🙄

It’s free next day at £30 if you’re Gold (or at least it was when I just placed my order!).

I’ve been using the Laniege Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Acid Cream Moisturiser (50ml, which I got with another 50ml refill and 10ml travel size for £33.48 on Look Fantastic a while ago) and I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I do. I’ve been layering it over my Medik8 retinol face cream and eye cream, and now using it over MZ Skin Bio Placenta & Stem Cell Serum as I have a facial over the weekend and need to pause retinol. My skin looks lovely and glowy and feels very moisturised!

I got the Laneige on the same offer and also really like it. Think it will be my go to from now one. Currently I'm alternating it with a Trinny one which is a bit lighter so I'm trying to use it up over summer, but still use the Laneige every other day because it works so well.

The Lookfantastic Loyalty Box is out now, I saw it on BD but then received an email as I get the beauty box. It's £30, but beauty box subscribers get it for £25. I pause my box subscription each month until I see what's in it, and did that this month, so if I subtract the £15 that would have been it only cost me £10 😂 A few things I quite like as minis - although I'm guessing the Chloe is a mistake and is 5 or 10ml not 50!!

The best of beauty is waiting…

@LouScot I just got an email to say the box was £20 if you spend £100 on other stuff.

Ah yes, I had that too, but I don't need anything just now, so it'd be a case of buying for the sake of it!

Me neither. I'm not really interested in the box.

I might make a small purchase from CB for the points. Probably another mini 20g cleansing balm - I can use up those in about a week.

BD just posted an update on a Kate Somerville box from Next. I’m tempted as big fan of her goat milk range esp the cleanser but not sure about the power plumping primer. Anyone tried it? Is it any good?

I got my birthday code from cult. £25 off. Did I recall someone mentioning a good way to use it as its a £100 spend. Can you use credit as well. Thanks x

Is there a mini my spend for CB to get the points?

@Doglover73 i think you can use credit but not another discount code.

Yes you can use credit and the best way to use it is if they have a blanket 20% (or whatever) off the whole site/makeup/a specific category you're interested in. Those events are rare though and you don't have long to use the birthday code, I got lucky with the timing of mine.

It has to be a general CB discount because it doesn't stack with any of the usual 20% off codes and there are a bunch of other exclusions. I <think> it would work with the current up to 30% off sale.

I was thrilled with my haul in April as they had 20% off everything and used my £40 credit I'd got in their last glitch, plus the £25 birthday code. But I had a nice big basket waiting (thanks to tips on here) and luckily none of it happened to be excluded.

Thanks. Can you use with an edit? As we know cb are pretty vague so ive removed discount but added asun box. Hard to get to 100 with no discounts 🤣
Feels painful 🤣

I think edits are excluded @Doglover73

Thanks @namechange0998776554799000 I thought that may be why it wasnt working. Not sure ill use. Ill see when it expires.
Id rather have a £10 off £50 as £100 a lot especially without edits 🤣

Wow 14 days from day sent x

That's a good box for £60. I haven't tried the primer.

I'm not going to buy it as I have several of the cleansers and one of the moisturisers to go at. I'm learning to be more sensible even when it's a good offer.

For anyone who doesn't have a stash of KS worth it I think.

Omg would you believe it?
Amazon delivered my liberty and my new foot rest. Had both on doorstep. Scanned. Wouldn't scan liberty. 😒🤔
He said ill have to ring my boss. He said ive got to return it. 🤔😒
I said the gwp has sold out. 😪
He said im sorry love nothing i can do about it.
Was £305
😢😢
I rang liberty. Got through straight away. 🤩
Hes going to ring amazon and email me. He said if it goes back to them they will resend it to me. 🙄🤞

Oh not in so was perfect. I was going to get rid of all evidence 🤣♥️

Space NK have a new manly kit available for £65

contents

• Augustinus Bader The Foaming Cleanser, 100ml
• Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Gel, 40ml
• Mauli Nourish Post-Shave & Beard Oil, 30ml
• S’able Labs Baobab Moisturiser, 50ml
• Escentric Molecules Cologne One, 8ml
• Space NK Nordic W Body Wash, 100ml
• Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, 13g
• Brown PU Leather Bag

I think it's worth it for the money and quite well curated. I have to say, the menfolk seem to be getting a better deal with some of these kits and sets around father's day than we womenfolk for mother's day. Both price and contents. Pink tax at its finest...

Unless it's something like beard oil that Mr. Rainbows will use (can go in the fathers day present haul) then I think most of them are quite unisex and I'm happy to tyr.

@IDontHateRainbows I quite fancy the cleanser from that kit. I like the AB cream cleanser but haven't tried that one. There's not anything else I want in the kit but I could probably offload some bits onto DH and DS's.

Doesn't really make it a good deal doing that as I could just buy a cleanser next time there's a 20% off.

Does anyone here have any Sana Jardin Sandalwood Temple for sale on vinted or eBay? Or got one they'd like to swap? I gave mine to a very good mate, she liked it and wanted to buy to feel nice for an upcoming event. But she doesn't trust vinted or eBay to be genuine so won't blind buy. I thought if someone could point me in the right direction I could just get one and put her concerns to rest. Any help much appreciated

I have one that I can swap or sell, PM me - about 7-8/10 remaining (it's a 10ml)

Thanks Ovahere. I’m going to take a punt on the primer. I’m reaching the end of my advent stash and quite like KS. I’ll pass the green exfoliating mask to DD as it’s a bit strong for me and seems to last forever
