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. 😍

@LemonJuiceFromConcentrate Boots has been really great with offers lately. I even had a free box of tampons in my offer section the other day; I'll take a freebie any day 😂

😹😹😹 @BakeOffRewatch and @IDontHateRainbows

It’s not something I would pay to put on my windowsill based on the pic!

I went to Boots today to drop off some recycling. It accepted the products and thanked me, then I got an email saying that I wasn’t getting my points because I hadn’t recycled in the right shop 🙈

I was quite miffed but when I asked the very helpful girl on the till, she manually added the points.

Tatcha's family & friends event is now on - 20% off with the code FRIEND26

If you haven’t heard of it, then it’s probably not real 😊 You know everything!

But I am really curious too now.

Space nk getting a black mark from me, ordered something Friday on unlimited beauty pass which should be next day delivery and it hasn't even been sent yet. They've been saying for ages warehouse problems blah blah blah but they've had ample time to sort it. Wonder if its just an excuse for them to save money.

Its the grooming essentials kit with new escentric molecules cologne. Mr Rainbows isn't getting the whole thing, maybe just yhe beard oil IF he's good ..

@BakeOffRewatch and @IDontHateRainbows Brilliant! 😂😂

I really want to take advantage of the Boots offer but I can’t find anything at all I need! 😭

Has anyone ever ordered perfume from escentual? Is it an okay website? Cheapest I can see the delina la rosee xx

I was in Boots today and there was a lovely Armani lip balm I swatched. The 15% code doesn't work but it's 20% off which brings it down from £35 to £28. But Harvey Nichols has it for £20! Not sure if their sale has already been mentioned but they have a lot in their sale and the code HELLOSPRINGCUR gives a further discount

Yes and they are excellent. Often cheapest for PDM and I've had a great experience buying from them

re: Harvey Nics-just a heads up that they can be very hit and miss online. Due to some great prices (and the beauty gwp), I ordered on 22nd May. I’m still waiting for dispatch. Their Trustpilot reviews are shocking for CS. They have emailed to say there are delays and cannot give a date for when my order may arrive. Order at your own risk, I’d say. I’ll be giving them a swerve moving forwards.

Ooh thank you! I spent a while thinking about it then talked myself down, I'm glad I did now.

I did order from them a couple of weeks ago when they had the GWP and had no issues, although it did take a while to arrive

Luckily I have one within traveling distance so I only order to store, more likely to arrive and not be left on the doorstep or whatever. They are shocking bad for customer service i had a bad experience before Christmas with an advent calendar that went missing, they did refund eventually after weeks of hassle.

Best of the bunch, I had a pdm black friday set tampered with ny a theif at dpd and they were really nice and sent another one straight away.

Re Boots, they have a No 7 prime forever gift again for a £30 spend , also 20% off and 3 for 2… I didn’t try the other code as my basket was £31.50 and didn’t want it to
go below £30

Have you tried any of the prime forever products?

Not yet, I still have the spf in my stash from the last offer but am working through mine in expiry date order

Has anyone used Geek & Gorgeous products? I am interested in trying their vit c and sunscreen.

Yes. The cleanser is ok, nothing special. Not keen on the primer although it’s spf50 which is useful. I do prefer a matte primer but it’s quite a rage despite that imo.

*average not rage !!!

Damn - just placed a large Boots order and forgot about the extra discount code!

I’m v disappointed in the Prime range so far. The primer with spf basically feels like sunscreen, where I was hoping for something like the No7 Pro Artist primer, which is fabulous. Such a shame, but after a few tries, I’m ditching it. Not a huge fan of the gel / cream face wash either. It’s fine, but nothing more than that.
OTOH I haven’t tried any of the actual skincare, which I suspect is probably pretty good, given their history with these things.

New selfridges frag edit

Thanks, nice to see a few new houses in an edit.

Love the look of this but I must not buy. Very reasonable price though.
