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

I'd just use ebay for fragrances, not worth the effort on vinted it's all ai automated backed up with woeful CS

I’ll have to set up an eBay account

Ebay lets you sell part used/tested as well which makes sense given they're alcohol based, mostly sealed and last for ages.

DP said he’d like the Medik8 sunscreen again so popped into SpaceNK but they don’t have the kits in so may need to take my chances with their warehouse.

@SummerLimes I’ve previously had this happen to me as well, it’s very annoying. As others have said, pop them on eBay instead. Or you could list the couple that were rejected on here, someone may be interested, and will save you setting up an account just for a couple of items (but probably worth setting one up anyway)

It’s odd as one of listed a couple of weeks ago so not sure why it’s been banned now.
From the Harrods GWP Marc Antoine the impossible set.

Ex Nihilo - Lust in paradise.

I like spacenk set but mainly the bag. I do have £10 credit. It don’t think I like the items enough.

Yes, sorry it’s the Perfume Society one

its £21 per box. You just pay once every 3 months and they send the box out, but you can cancel any time before the next one gets billed.

Thirding an interest in this too…

I wouldn't say 'lets you use' it's still officially verboten but it's easy enough to get round the algorithm with a bit of careful wording...

Well I went to Space NK and couldn't find anything I wanted for once - the grooming edit was nowhere to be seen but as my order is now showing as despatched I thought I would wait for it. I was tempted by the sunlit vanilla perfume but they didn't have any testers. And the new summer edit seemed very overpriced for £80 - I'd have paid no more than £60. So empty handed I went but I won't stay empty handed for long as my liberty holiday edit is currently in my safe place behind the back gate waiting for me when I get home.

@IDontHateRainbows agree. It does seem overpriced. I’d definitely purchase at £60
We’re long overdue a 20% offer.

Hi, Stylevana have a sale on. Has anyone ordered from them? Are they reliable? Their TP reviews are terrible 🙀
Thanks

@IDontHateRainbows what's your verdict on the scent edit volume 1? I ordered it for instore collection then didn't pick up in time, oops!

I have used Stylevana twice. They’re slower than StyleKorean. But so far I haven’t had any real problems other than slow despatch.

But I prefer StyleKorean!

Thanks @TragicMuse

Volume one is really good - better than volume 2. There's a good selection and they all come in individual boxes, I somehow feel that putting them in loose as in volume two, cheapens it a little. Plus of course breakage risk.

Watching this earlier and Charlotte has the Emma Lewisham cream from the current Liberty edit (she must have been using it a while) in her summer favourites. I was a bit on the fence with it but looking forward to trying it now.

It's around 4 mins in for anyone interested.

Anyone else signed up for the Liberty Advent waitlist?

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but did anyone get the Hearst Magazine two-box offer?
I’ve been eyeing the one with the Amouage perfume, but I’m not sure it’s worth it for just 7.5g of perfume. Curious to hear what others thought of the overall value!

I have just signed up to the waitlist as have been saving my beauty drop just in case I love it. I am thinking it will be released next month.

I have @AlPaccacino I love the liberty advent and even though I’ve tried others this is still my favourite. However, because I’m not one for moderation I’m also planning on SNK and Harrods this year if the contents look good.

edited to add I liked HN last year too so will be keeping an eye on their release.

I would but haven’t had a link or anything…

Here’s the link for the waitlist @TragicMuse

20% off selected items at Cult Beauty + £10 gift card on a £50 spend (the discounts work together). The 20% off doesn’t work off the edits but the gift card does.

I’ve just ordered and it also added a Father’s Day fragrance sample gift set which stacked with 20% off and the £10 gift voucher. No idea what’s in it as there was no photo or which products qualified but it did appear in my basket before I’d spent £50.
