Beauty chat - freebies/gifts with purchase/offers THREAD SIXTEEN

[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 had to set up a new account with a new email address once because it kept auto logging me out (over months) whenever I attempted to access my basket. Boots raised it with their IT dept and they were never able to figure it out so told me to open a new account. I think the app/ website is bug ridden!

I gave up on the app, everytime it forced me to do an update, I had to delete and reinstall sign in and register advantage card again to get past a popup telling me to update the app.

OH just sent me this- he may have a point

I had to chuck mine. Kept bringing me out in painful cystic spots, that not even Medik8 blemish gel could kill.

🤣🤣🤣 Thanks @DidILeaveTheGasOn 🐌🐌🐌

This reminds me of me moaning about a sock on the floor. Maybe I need to look around before I moan 🤣♥️

Sephora have a sale on and a small GWP with £120 spend (App only)

Just ordered the Holiday Haul kit from liberty using a bunch of loyalty vouchers it came down to £32 so I paid that instead of cashing in my current credit.

I’ve just come on to post about this. Here’s a link https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/holiday-haul-beauty-kit-000876350.html?utm_source=libertystatic&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=260609-WK19-TBD-Summer-Kit-Early-Access&S2REF=7772833589&cuid=7772833589
I'm not sure I'm tempted yet but let’s see how the day progresses 🙈. There’s not a stand out product for me which is putting me off a bit however, I would like to try the violette 3 in 1 and the westman atelier glow thing. However, I think this came in the glam set which I haven’t opened yet so I need to investigate that first. I’m also drowning in spf and hand cream. However, despite saying all this it will be in its way to me by dinner time. 😬

here are the contents. I’ve just started using the MZ skin eye cream which I picked up from tkmaxx. It’s a lovely day eye cream. It’s very brightening and pearlescent. I quite like it and would happily buy again at the tkmaxx price of £30.

Lumene website has a few products at £10 today including the SPF50 hydra moisturiser and the arctic cloudberry oil.

I didn’t even last past 9am before ordering, nice to see a mascara other than black and looking forward to trying the Westman and Violette FR.

I was sold as I’m running low on the mz eye cream, and the olaplex will get used and the bag is so cheerful for summer. I’m such a sucker for the kits.

That's a really nice kit. I have the ilia lip gloss and it's lovely. Actually, the fact that I only own one product (and in a different shade!) is a rarity these days and probably makes it the best kit I've seen recently.

I am so tempted by the new liberty bag . It is really good to finally see some different brands/colours in edits lately. I hope Liberty translates this to their advent , they could knock it out of the park this year ( I am sure they probably won't and it will be Philip Kingsley and Aromatherapy Associates again)

Thanks for the video @Doglover73 has anyone tried the WA highlight? I was right it came in the glam kit so I’m trying it first to see if I like it but atm it’s coming out like oil rather than the colour in The video. It feels like I’ve been shaking it for ages too.

@Beautyfox I was very tempted by the Liberty edit so went to try the WA highlight I have (Peau de Peche - and also check I don’t already have the one in the edit!), tried it on my hand again to remind myself what it’s like and I did find it oily (with not much colour payoff once blended out) which has deterred me from the Liberty edit (a bit!).

Umming and ahing. Got the no6 already, it's ok, I'm not sure I see much of an improvement but I work from home and do the bare min with my hair anyway. Like the idea of the mineral spf but got plenty of face SPF. Shame there's no fragrance even a mini. Also love it's not a black mascara for once. hate smelly handcreams. Most interested in the Violette and ilia so it's a lot of money for that. WA wish it was a lighter colour. I have the Niod one and it's great to add to foundation for a sheerer glow. Decisions, I've got enough credit to pay for it.

This is my finding. I also have combination skin so adding any oil can make it a bit of a mess. However, I’ve plonked it on and will see how it goes. It does feel like it’s more of a subtle glow so needs to go onTop of foundation rather than a tinted serum which I use on makeup free days. I’m currently showing restraint for the new edit but I know it won’t last! I’ve just opened the glam glam edit from before Christmas and I’m realising what a lovely kit it was. No idea why it’s sat in my wardrobe for all these months maybe it’s because I have soo many edits/kits.

Let me know how you get on. It feels to me more like a bare skin on holiday product so I’ll have to try to remember to take it away with me next month.

From memory the formula of the Drunk Elephant equivalent is better. I have the bronze and the pink and should use them more.

I’ve used a few of the drunk elephant products and they have a lot more coverage and smoothing (hiding of pores uneven skin tone) than this hence why I’m not sure it’s really good enough for bare skin unless you have perfect skin. I quite like the drunk elephant ones and the glow recipe. I’m currently using a by Terry cc serum tint which has been one of my favourites soo far. Although the Chantecaille bronze face tint has the best coverage and is really like a very light foundation combined with a serum but needs a lot more blending so I keep that for days when I have a bit more time but don’t want full foundation. The jury is still out on WA.

ofairy is back.

I've put some stuff on vinted and I'm frustrated with all the offers. No 40%+ off isn't happening. I haven't overpriced, I checked everything. Just makes it harder work.

would you share your username?

It's carltonbp I haven't got much on there because last time I put loads on Vinted deleted them claiming I was a business seller. So I'm just putting 5-6 items a week on.

Irony is I did try a few a few £ extra willing to reduce but not one offer on those.
