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 had a few successes yesterday: thank you to everyone who recommended the BoJ rice & honey mask, I used it for the first time and my skin looks amazing!

I also used one of my many Elasticizers. I'm sure I used it years ago and was unimpressed, but this time it's done wonders for my hair. Quite glad I've got a few in the stash now!

Id use it on my hands. X

Don't worry I think they turned if off, it wasn't working as of around 8pm.

It was working for me this morning 🫠

Weird, I've got 3 clinique like the other poster, still doesn't work MEAGANSC15

It’s working in the app for me. I just tried it with three Clinique cleansing balms. (I was testing it on Chanel earlier - annoyingly all the items I want are OOS!).

It’s also stacking the 20% off with the 3 for 2 then adding the 15% off below.

@Twinsandsome Escentual are excellent. Some great offers and always fast and reliable delivery.

I put through my boots order last night and it worked for me. I did use a different influencer code and used the app so don't know if that makes a difference. A few content creators have been on a boots brand trip recently so lots have 15% off codes floating about. I picked up some clinique products for dh for father's day.

Well I stalked the Boots website until Chanel Water Fresh Tint came back into stock in a shade I think I can make work (I got Medium, which I think will be fine for Summer), with the discount and additional 15% off code it was £38.08!

The UNQ436 worked though :-)

That’s so strange. I only ever used the ‘Meagan’ code but when it accepted it it changed it to UNQ436!

What is the point of 'remember me' on the boots site.

@MrsBnow12 @SummerLimes @Fillybuster Thank you for the No7 Prime range feedback. I’ll swerve it for now then, as it was the primer and cleanser I was interested in.

Did anyone try the Medik8 total protect moisturiser in the recent JL beauty box? To me, that is also like sun cream, it’s very thick and I’m not enjoying using it at all - and I purchased two of the boxes specifically for that as I generally love Medik8 products 🙈😅 I will use it, but feel like it would be better for makeup-free holidays, and I have nothing planned.

@Twinsandsome Another vote for Escentual from me. I’ve placed a few orders and had no issues, and the prices are generally the best.

@Hicupping Oh tell me about it, Boots drives me mad with the ‘remember me’, it never works. I honestly don’t see the point, if someone wants to break into my account to purchase something, why would Boots not want the sale?! 🫠

Is anyone else finding next day delivery a con? I currently have 3 orders from different places supposedly on next day delivery which ive paid a subscription for not even moving.

Space nk- ordered Friday showing as processing not even despatched yet

Look fantastic ordered yesterday not even despatched

Selfridges usually very good but said they need an extra day.

Ive paid for this service- narked off!

The medik8 is my favourite SPF @Thelifeofawife. It's definitely an SPF though, I use a moisturiser underneath and I wouldn't use it in the evening or if I wasn't leaving the house.

I've tried so many SPFs as I wear it every time I leave the house, which means every time I wear makeup - which is a pain because makeup looks so much better without an SPF underneath. Lots of the ones I've tried (BoJ, Caudalie, violette) have irritated my skin or eyes, pilled under makeup, been really greasy or have a horrible smell.

I do like Elemis and La Roche posay, and I've just ordered a tinted LRP as I'm hoping that will help with my melasma. I also bought the Boots SPF box so I have some more minis still to try (round lab birch, shiseido, skin + me, rituals, Lancaster). But most of the time I'm sticking with the medik8 - at least it works and it doesn't irritate my skin.

Your post @Thelifeofawife made me think of the Omorovicza night cream from a recent box. It’s so thick and only needs a bit so a small pot is going to last aaaaaages! Good value but heavy going…

Thanks for the Boots code, I ordered the festival beauty box and got 15% off 😊

@IDontHateRainbows I'm still grumpy about my SNK order - still no dispatch date for something I ordered on 29th May. Admittedly I didn't pay for next day delivery, but that shouldn't impact the dispatch time. Just cancel online orders until you sort out the warehouse!

I've ordered the clinique redness cleanser - never really got on with clinique but times and skin changes and it has very good reviews and £36 for 3 when it's normally £27 each is a fab price. Companies must be getting desperate. Would like to try the moisturiser but at £50 a pop and no mini sizes about never mind.

Got shade 2 in the bader lip balm with Sofia Coppola - buttery, quite sheer, noticable but can see plenty of lip through, lovely packaging. It's reduced on CB, got my 200 points and used a £20 voucher so technically free.

Also got my yesstyle today - the Tocobo lip powder balm in mono red (muted brick red). Love this. Not a hard matte, more coverage than the bader. Going to have to get some more of these.

And in other new snails have eaten pretty much all my pansies. They looked so good before the little sods.

The revenge of the snails. Maybe they are coming for us for nabbing their mucin. That would be an inordinately slow apocalypse.

. Where did you get the cliniqur redness cleanser from? @Hicupping

@Doglover73 Boots with the 3 for 2, 20% off with £35 spend and 15% off code. Came to £36.20 ish. Also got 380 points plus went via vouchercodes so should be worth VIP £2.50

I went on boots, locked me out of account after several attempts. It saves it on app but not on website through voucher codes 🙄

I just reordered the Chanel Water Fresh Tint as one of the Water Fresh Blush came back into stock (Light Peach) so together I got 20% off code + 15% off + £6 in bonus points. I need to stop stalking the Boots app now!
